I am 28 years old and Scottish Canadian. I am 5'8 and usually am a very healthy and athletic 130. I decided to have this done for a few reasons. First is I have never had curves. I have worked my but off (literally maybe) and have seen abs and every other muscle on my body. But When I don't have access to heavy butt weight training like squatting my body weight or two hours on a stair master. I run, when I run I loose my ass. It took my one week to loose definition in my ass. I had worked so had worked out like a maniac and it was becoming a huge issue for me. I am sick of fighting with myself and beating myself up verbally because I am not perfect, stressing out about eating something tasty only once in awhile and not buying certain clothes I love because I don't like myself in them. So that is the most important reason. Number 2, a very good friend of mine had this BBL thing and she looks amazing. She is my guide through this and has taught me many helpful tips. Number 3. Well number three is I model. Everyone told me not to get a boob job and tried to tell me I didn't need it. I did anyways and didn't regret a second. Now I feel like more than just a flat skinny body and make more money. Would do it over and over again. So hoping same applies here.

Great review?

I wasn't alone. I had someone there will be 24/7. First night I paid one of his nurses to come help me shower and pee. The hardest thing you will have to do the first little while is go number two. peeing you can do easily standing up since everything is swollen and squished between the garment lol. not a very nice picture. Some of the worst bruising i had was around there for some reason. but as long as you have enough pay n killers you should be ok. They say you get light headed when you first take off the garment so be careful. Though i didn't feel dizzy at all. but i did freak out a bit once i saw my skin. it looked really gross. But i think it was from the warping of the garment when i was laying down so it was wavy like sand dunes on my stomach. so gross. but they gave me some foam to put inside garment and it was fine after.
getting in and out of bed is the worst. its not that its hard its just awkward. my elbows and shoulders were so sore and my neck was always cranked.
and i would always ask to get the most possible ccs. it will always go down

Good to hear everything went well. I'm glad your happy. How was it on your own in the hotel. I was thinking staying at beauty care, because I thought maybe it was too risky being on your own. How was your experience? Were you able to shower yourself okay, use the bathroom, was it hard to get out of bed?

Hey NeedaBBL, I stayed at the hotel lucerna and it was really nice. It's an outdoor setting.
I got there a couple days before and the sunday buffet was the best one I've ever had and i am so picky when it comes to food while traveling. Also they have this great drink thats made from veggies and fruit you can get to your room. Its way better than just eating chicken broth right after surgery.
I am a really nervous person. I was shaking so hard right before the surgery you could hear my teeth chattering. The anesthesialogist had a gold tooth and was on his email in the operating room. I was freaking out. But he was super nice and did his best to calm me down. He was experiences and talked me through everything and thats all that mattered.
The epidural in your back doesn't hurt at all cuz they put in three small needles to freeze the area right before. But when he tilted my bed so that my feet were higher than my head i started to try to move my body and the fact that nothing was working made me almost have a panic attack. I woke up during the surgery and all I remember was seeing a blue curtain and hearing them talk about me. I was so out of it that i though i was eaves dropping on someones conversation about me and didn't even realize i was where i was.
Dr campos said he asked me if i wanted him to remove a large mole i had while he was there and apparently i said yes but i don't remember that at all. But I am glad cuz i hated that thing.
he did my upper back as well, the part that bulges when you wear a tight bra. He didn't even charge me anything extra. Now that part on my back is always flat no matter how tight my bra is. I even love the way my boobs look with all the extra weight. They look more natural.
the only problem i see on almost every surgery and no one else seems to see it is bumpiness. My stomach looks like a bad spray tan job its really strange. Its starting to go away a little but it is a tell i had something done and i hate it.
Remember girl to get tons of pain killers! i mean lots! they are cheap and you can save them for something else so stock up trust me! and some of them make you not able to be for some reason so find a one that works for you. tramadol is what i had.
There is a cute little mall close to my hotel too. I picked the hotel cuz its two blocks away from his office its perfect. The hotel even has its one big van to pick u up in, reserved only for clinics. that just goes to show you how popular the area is for this. I was so scared before going. I was like am i risking my life just to look hot. But i was wrong its pretty safe.
also when you go to a spa and ask for a lymphatic drainage massage. They always just give you a normal massage, even if you point at it from the menu. Tried it four times and just gave up. Either get them done at home or at his clinic.

ALL THE COMPLAINTS ASIDE! I WOULD DO IT OVER AND OVER IF I HAD TO.
THX TO DR CAMPOS, HE IS AN ARTIST.

So sorry to everyone for taking so long to post. When you read you will understand.

First off I am so happy with my results, I have been told you can't tell I had anything done and its not even a month after. Don't get me wrong my butt is noticeable and goes very well with my tiny new waist but it looks natural.
I can't say much about the doctors bedside manners because we really only exchanged a couple sentences, I thought it was pointless to show him tons of pictures of what I want and be very specific. And I was right. I just told him to put as much as he could fit into my butt and make me some abs and a tiny waist. I heard from so many different avenues that I should gain weight but then was told by him that that was a big mistake. He would have rather had me at my ideal weight were my body normally stays at. I gained over 30 pounds in two months and I am not a big girl at all. So my skin was super tight around my butt and then he even said it was loose around my stomach.
I was very swollen to begin with it was nuts. I looked very hour glass but looked at least 180. The swelling went down almost exactly when and how they said and now i stop in front of every mirror in my house lol.
I am having computer issues so will be able to update with pics soon as i fix it.
OH YA VERY IMPORTANT!
I was in so much pain, i need to warn you. The moment i woke up ( well was fully aware) i was in pain head to toe. My body swelled up like a balloon and my skin was very unhappy. First thing i remember was they had a blood pressure thing around my arm and it hurt so bad i kept trying to take it off but they wouldn't let me. I was confused and mad.
SO GET THREE TIMES MAYBE EVEN FOUR TIMES AS MUCH PAIN KILLERS AS YOU THINK YOU WILL NEED. ANY PHARMACY SELLS THEM. JUST ASK THE OFFICE WHAT MEDS YOU WILL BE GETTING AND GO STOCK UP. TRUST ME! LIFE SUCKS WITH OUT THEM.

any other question shoot, i have left out a lot but even sitting here typing this my body is hurting. expect rashes from always being on your elbows in bed. Sore bruised knees from always kneeling, sore shoulders and server neck pain from sleeping on your tummy for so long.
