“B.B.L. in Washington State - Seattle, WA”

Congratulations. I went to Dr Satler for consultation... he is willing to do this procedure. But has never before performed a BBL. He quoted 10,500 for the same procedure u are having done all inclusive.

I'm going to see two more doctors before I make my final decision.

Good luck!

Shi4567... Dont be anyone's guinea pig girl. 10k is not chump change and your body is nothing to play with.

Be careful...

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.

good luck!!!

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!

Yes, I'd love to see before/afters!!
