Brazilian Butt Lift: Stories

Write a Review

Have we resorted to calling each other B's and hoes on this site. Im sure the other forums arent cutting up like that.

Hello Ladies, So I have decided to be more...

Hello Ladies,
So I have decided to be more involved and writing my first review. I am looking for the same support I've been seeing through the BBL sisterhood. I had a phone consult with Dr. J two weeks and I was going to see Dr. Markmann and Dr. Rodriguez, but after seeing the T.I. & Tiny show, I was sold. He is way more reasonable and I feel that he will really be able to give me the body that I want. I picked up running in the spring through a running group I joined (Black Girls Run- shout out) and I love it. What is starting to happen is that Im getting more toned, but my butt is getting even smaller than it was. Ive been having this battle with my butt my entire life so I am taking the step to do something about it. I'm looking to have kids within the next 2-3 years, but I'd rather do it now than wait to have it when my children are of toddler age and I'm able to go through a 3 week recovery. At minimum that'll be 5 years from now. I'm not waiting that long. Doing me now before I have to give my all to kids, career, and husband. After speaking with Dr. J, he said the lipo and BBL will provide a good foundation to be pretty and pregnant and keep my body at a decent size with no effects to the butt. The stomach will stretch but I'll work out all I can and nip/tuck if need be. I just want the butt!! I'm looking at this as an investment into my body. LOL. I was told to gain about 5-10 pounds. Im running a half marathon in the spring so I'm really going to work on that weight gain for summer 2013, which is when I plan on having the surgery. It's going to be hard for me not to run and workout but Ill do what I need to do to give him enough to work with. I want something natural that will put an S-curve to my backside. In a thong, my butt doesn't look crazy but without it, I have a long back. Dr. J also wanted to give me hips. At first, I didnt think I'd need it but he is the expert. I hear that he is always trying to give someone hips but that's maybe why he is Dr. J Curves. That's his thing. I want a natural looking S-curve to my shape and a butt like Serena which I think will go with how big my thighs are. Anyway, Ive found a buddy on here already....BuddyGum28. Just talking to her has been great support and reading you guys comments are all encouraging me to move forward. This was a solo effort for me. Not much support from friends and boyfriend, so its amazing to have this community. Looking to put my deposit down today as soon as the office opens and before prices jump. I'm sure they will after the exposure from the show. Monica was my coordinator but she hasnt been answering her phone or returning emails. I heard she may be out of the office because she underwent BBL recently. Well I was approved for the entire amount of the surgery through CareCredit but want to put at minimum half down. I'm excited to start the journey. 2013 will be my year.

I put the deposit down and July 3rd it is. Because...

I put the deposit down and July 3rd it is. Because of Realself I found my buddy and wont have to do a solo effort. We are traveling together and our surgeries are back to back. This is helping me take the anxiety off and feel nothing but excitement. Now the prep begins..

Happy that I have another buddy to go through this...

Happy that I have another buddy to go through this with...PrettyPhysique. Our surgeries are all scheduled for the same day and we are looking for a house to rent. If you are serious about putting a deposit down, but have a late consult date and your looking to book a surgery soon, I would call the office and tell them just that. My two buddies were scheduled for consults in January and February, but when they called and told them they were serious and had their deposit, they moved their consults up and were able to put their deposits down. Had they waited for their consults, the July dates for surgery would probably have been booked. You pretty much better have your deposit ready to be paid so you must be serious if you are looking to get an earlier consult date.

I'm disheartened to see the attacking going on....

I'm disheartened to see the attacking going on. Why do WE have to act like this. I'm so thankful for the encouragement from strangers on this site who are going through this emotional and physically taxing journey. I love my BBL buddies, PrettyPhysique and BubbleGum28 for the phone calls and texts as we go through our ups and downs. Thats what RS is about. Ladies lets keep it classy and assume for the most part that people are coming with the best intentions. That behavior will turn newbies like myself off of this site. Just sharing my thoughts.

Great review?

newbody ready 11 Dec 2012
well said thr other ones dont have this problem and u are right we need to help each other not hurt its way to many personalities on here so some people say things without thinking it out first i think thats a huge problem !!!!
missgiggle 11 Dec 2012
All I come to this site for is to read people's journeys and to see what will be personally beneficial to me once it's time for my surgery. I don't follow BS that goes on around here because we're not in high school anymore. It's dumb to sit around and argue when you could be helping somebody. I got better stuff to do. Most of us are grown women and should act like it. I'm not gonna get all consumed in that mess;.. but just keep looking forward to next year and keep looking on info about other ladies experiences. I agree let's keep things classy and support one another. Good luck with your sx

Yes I agree, it is disheartening to see this going on. Most of these ladies on here are really speaking from their heart and with their best intentions giving their opinions... no need to resort to name calling if we don't agree with theirs.
MsGradBooty 10 Dec 2012
The craziness that goes on here I can't deal...I'm staying out of it!
BIGBUTIEZ 10 Dec 2012

RedBonz 10 Dec 2012

Hey Lady. YeS!!! Team J Curves. I am soo excited. Wish I could get it done and over with but July is whats best for my schedule plus Im buddying with Bubblegum28. Congratulations. I keep going back and forth over how big to go. I soooo dont want a fake looking one that looks like I had work done. I just want it nice, round, and big. I want the results of someone who runs and works out often. Have you booked hotel accomodations or are you from the area??
MsGradBooty 10 Dec 2012

Monica had BBL as well. Has anyone gotten back to you. When I went on Nov 7th she was 14 days post op,they should have forwarded her calls or done an out of the office auto reply
Tan824 3 Dec 2012
Thanks hun. I ended booking with Shelly. Now when I try and call her, her direct line doesnt work. I give up. Im not frustrated. Im super excited but I do have some questions. Surgery is 7 months away. I know as the date gets closer, it wont be cool if I cant get in contact with anyone.

Hello everyone. So i finally decided to get serious and join real self. Ive been snooping around for month but I want my BBL procedure done more then I wanna meet jesus!!! (just jokes btw :-) but that is how much I want this. I figured I could find support with you ladies. I need help deciding btwn Dr J and Dr Salama. I also have questions about paying cash -vs-financing. having thie procedure b4 or after children. I have none yet. Anyone willing to adopt the newcomer as a buddy!!!??? #puppyface :-( Thanks I welcome any comments questions or advice
cinnabuns201 4 Nov 2012
Hey Key2urheart! Welcome to rs. You will find a lot of support and advice here. I'm team J but both Dr.s are awesome at what they do. I chose Dr J because I truly love his projection. And he scuplts according to your body type. I haven't seen cookie cutter A$$ with him. Good luck and I will be following your posts.
key2urheart 6 Nov 2012
Yes that is what I was afraid of cookie cutter @$$ Im short but I dont want my @$$ to look like an irregular cancer growth back there. I dont want that nicki minaj lil kim look where it looks weird! I am trying to lose about 15-20 lbs. Now Im going to post some pics soon. I usually am stealing moments to log in. Thank you for responding :-)
BubbleGum28 9 Nov 2012
@Key2UrHeart.....Lmaoooo....at the Jesus joke....Welcome aboard the BBL Train....the only advice I can give u as far as picking a doctor would be to read the reviews....and look at the pics....follow their journey.....from beginning to end...see if the developed any type of issues after...... It's a process....but by all means don't put a price on something like this.....u want the best even if I is gonna cost u a lil bit more than another doctor...as far as the price...cash versus financing ...I only kno about Dr. Jimerson .....he charges and extra $500 if u finance....of course ur still gonna have to pay the interest with what ever finance company u pick ...best wishes on ur journey....keep us all updated.....I will be check in on u
