WORTH IT$7,500
Just one week away from my B.B.L. procedure!
I am having liposuction on upper/lower abdomen and flanks with about 500cc fat injected to each side. Looking for improved contour.
Thanks to all the Docs and patients on realself.com that post their feedback and answer questions!! I will update during recovery.

Thanks Nikki6771! I went to another consult with Dr. Egerai (not sure on spelling) in Bellevue. He quoted me the same price, but he has never performed this procedure either. He says he does butt implants.
So my search continues.... I have another consultation scheduled for another PS on the 30th.
Thanks!

Are you willing to travel to have the procedure done? You may have to stay in a hotel room 7-10 days but it may be worth it if the doctors you have spoken with never performed the surgery before. Seems like you are asking the right questions and doing your homework so shot out to you for that. Congrats and I wish you luck!

There is a video on Youtube.com of Dr. Egrari doing a BBL surgery and explaining it.
It is not a dramatic enhancement, but nice result.
I wish you the best in your search!

I agree with Ms.New Booty.... you may pay about turpentine same including travel depending on where u go. Its not a decision to make hastily. Continue with your consults but start also looking at your neighboring states to start. KJust keep an open mind. I plan to travel and I'm still coming out cheaper than having it in my home state of IL. And that's for docs who specialize in bbl

As someone who's had the BBL done, I have to add my .02 cents
This is a procedure you want done only by someone with experience, and plenty of it.
The procedure, when done under local is mighty painful (I know firsthand), so I highly suggest you find someone who does it under a general.
Next- The recuperation period. I've never experienced so much pain as this. And it's not just for a few days, but weeks. You literally should not sit on your bottom for at least 3 weeks. If you're thinking of traveling somewhere to have the BBL, consider having to stay a while. You won't be sitting on an airplane for hours and hours after this procedure! And you'll be VERY sore for at least 2 weeks after the surgery.
I can't emphasize enough having someone who does a lot of these. It isn't worth the time, pain or money to have your results go bad. And being that this surgery takes a lot of you, you certainly don't want to have to repeat it again!
I shudder to think there are docs out there willing to just "give it a go" at your expense. Fat transfers must be done right to render good results. The fat harvesting process alone is an art.

Thanks for the recovery advice!My procedure is today.
The Dr. that is doing my surgery said has done about 100 of the procedure. But many surgeons feel like the main issue is excellence in technique of lipo and fat transfer. Many have done hundreds of fat transfer procedures to other areas for many years with great success. The BBL is just that the fat is transferred to the butt, not the face, etc.

Doing good 36 hours after BBL! The 1st 8 hours were the worst. I am on pain meds, but walking around alot and doing well!
I got 390cc in each side. It will probably be a subtle enhancement, but I have small hips so I think that will be good.
I am eating low sodium/low fat. Protein drinks, apple sauce, salt free rice crackers, low fat cheese strips. So far, so good!

doing great 3rd day after BBL. Moving around, taking walks. Pain is MUCH lower now. I am really surprised at how even I look already. It feels like I have a steel plate in each bun, but I already cut down the pain meds. Still having trouble sleeping. My skin is very itchy today.
Drain out tomorrow!

10m days post BBL surgery! Doing better every day. I think I did myself a favor by not examining my surgical area every day. I tried to focus on recovery.Still wearing my compression garment. My waist is 3" smaller already.(I am not slim, so I have extra inches to spare)I ordered a smaller garment and will wear than in the day and the larger at night.
I'm going to see two more doctors before I make my final decision.
Good luck!
