Ive never been so happy that the next year is almost here. Campos team said I can have revisions in February. Im still in talks with previous doctor we shall see how that works out. Hopefully now you see me and now you don't. I have new depression pics to upload this evening. Ive gained weight for my revision which is depression in its self. I cant wait to get this weight off and have a hour glass figure!

Hi imsocute. This is so lame. In addition to not getting what you want, you actually got bumpiness that wasn't there before. And sure the money is important but what about the physical trauma and time lost!!! I think that this is a very important review of what could happen! I'm 5'4" and 136 and I was told he can get 700cc per side in me... I thought it sounded like a lot but then I saw other smaller reviewers who got more and looked great so... yes it's SO difficult to tell with cc's or not. You have to trust your ps. It totally looks like you had initially picked a good one... maybe he had a bad day but come on... he needs to make it right for you. Good luck with whatever you decide and know that there's support for you out there.

After pics looks worse I totally agree! Im fatter now and have less money! This is the part that sucks! Thanks for your support!

Hi imsocute. I'm sorry this happened to you because I know exactly how you feel. I had a bbl and my body looks the same not worth the money I spent. I also developed a seroma and have to continue driving to the doctors every week and can't work out. I really want to get a revision but have to wait till it heals. Everytime I look in the mirror or try on jeans I get so pissed. I understand the doctor and staff are wonderful but sadly the results aren't what we wanted. Good luck on your revision.

This is sad to hear but surgeries like this are so unpredictable and no gurrantees. Its like gambling and you do not get money back for not being happy with results. I just had mine done too same doc different situation since I am small, not getting hopes up too much and I have also gained additional weight. Just have to diet and go to gym for that. If you don't have enough useable fat though a new doc will just take your money too again won't they?

Wishing you luck. Im about 60% happy with my results. I wanted a tiny waist. Hope to see that soon ... keep uu updated.

I will not get more fat put in but. Most of remaining fat I had to use to add to thin skin for boob implant reconstruction last week. they took even more from belly and from sides which Bruno was suppose to lip but he didn't even though I paid for sides. Hardly any usuable fat but enough to help thin skin
June 27, 2014
what did doc say about "usable fat"? I had lipo before and I am hearing so many different things. Some say the fat isn't good for bbl some say its fine. What did your doc say? Did you post any pics from your bbl with bruno?

No PIcs, I had to get more lipo needed for a different surgery to fill boobs so not enough time to get pictures of final result. It took at least 4 months for final result then a different surgery now so swollen. Will be a few months before I get pictures

He said I did not have much useable fat but helped slightly only when I also do squats regularly. If i don't do squats still look not so great.

Sorry, sounds like a lot to go through.

It hilarious to me that people on here would ask me who my doctor is then go run and show my inbox messages to the doctor. I really can careless. Im the one that spent my hard earned money on this surgery. Im the one that is not pleased with my surgery. Some of you got what you wish for from our doctor, I didnt! People talk about garments and reusable fat. I wasnt contoured regardless of how much fat I had or what could be used. I had previous lipo 8yrs ago and had areas that hadnt been lipo'd. Im glad I started posting right after my surgery so there is evidence to my claim. I didnt seat on my butt. I wore my garment! I have the right to my opinion. Im actually a very lovely person..lol. I avoid conflict when possible. I dont start trouble but please dont mess with my money. I think its best for people to accept responsibility and not point fingers at others. Anyways, Ive been in touch with the Doctor, I hope this can be resolved. He is a nice guy and his staff is lovely that is why I picked him but unfortunately that doesnt make me feel better when I look in the mirror or look at other people he have done that looks amazing. I tried not to name him but unfortunately I was on my cellphone and I thought I was answering a message but it posted on my page. It was never my intention to put his name on my page but I feel I have the right to answer inbox questions openly. Im not telling you not to go to him. Ive seen amazing results from his clients. well wishes

Thanks..its unbelievable how you're looked at when youre surgery doesnt go well...well maybe you should have done this...maybe you had previous lipo...maybe you...maybe you...maybe you...shut up already...lol..anyways I believe you were mentioned below in a comment posted yesterday by Jadestone. I dont think folks understand when your surgery doesnt go as plan how emotionally it is. Keep me posted. I wish you get the body you dreamed of!
November 18, 2013
Hi imsocute, after reading your latest updates and few comments below from the last couple days, I felt compelled to write this. All that talk about pure fat, reusable fat, and liquid being injected is a bunch of crap. I went to a board certified ps with elite credentials, I doubt he would inject anything other than pure fat just to say he can give you more ccs. I'm very happy for those who got good results with your Dr. but it enrages me that they are somehow holding you responsible for the injustice he did to your body. Like you said, you're not here complaining about him not giving you a huge butt, you are complaining about his lack of sculpting abilities, which is clear in his thicker patients and even on his own before/afters. I'm so glad I stood away from him, he wouldn't have done nearly half as a good job as my dr did. I missed where you might have actually said his name since I don't see it anywhere but I wish you actually named him in your review, you have every right to do so, just like his satisfied patients have the right to post their positive reviews. Having said that I'm not directing this to any one person in particular. I'm not one to cause drama or start anything. I just deeply hurt for imsocute having to go through this and she still has to justify herself for speaking her mind, give her some credit for not putting this dr on blast, have some empathy for her. Imsocute you are a strong and courageous woman, I pray that this dr does the right thing.

I'm in my 40's, been a fit person most of my life.No high blood pressure dont take any medications. I was a tomboy and actually still one in heart. Lettered in two sports in high school.I was really active until a couple years ago when my hip started giving me problems. Most of my fat came from muscles that had turned to fat! Fat was taken from my front thigh,stomach and upper back where Ive never had lipo. Previous lipo was inner and outer thigh Ive never had lipo on my stomach(no kids). Once again Im not just talking about CC I WASNT CONTOURED MY BODY APPEARS TO BE THE SAME. The talk about good skin, anatomy etc is hilarious. I'm African American we have GOOD skin and anatomy. When people start off with excuses you know something is wrong..lol

I reached out to Dr to see if I can get money back, BUT

imsocute
Ive informed Dr I will not be going back with them and to see if I can get any of my money back. Its been 2 week nothing back from the doctor and I emailed coordinator a week ago and still nothing. Im about to send a certified letter Monday. I refuse to let him keep my money then spend $6500 with Campos. They are so sweet and attentive at first but when things go wrong they cant return phone calls or emails! I want a partial refund!

Hi there, im just wondering if or for how long you wore your garments. I just had my one week follow up and they slipped me into this real tight garment wick I bought, and I already have an hourglass shape, it helps to mold you. I don't blame you for pointing the finger at the doctor specially when it's our bodies and our money. My friend had the same surgery with another dr. that's mentioned in your comments feed and her surgery was fine, she looks great, but I just want convinced with the reviews I read. We also have to understand that we are not plastic and the doctors cant just sculpt us the exact way that we want if they don't know how our bodies will react and how we decide to take care of ourselves. When I took my first garment off my butt was squared and had already shrank. I went to get my second garment and I asked the dr about the flatness and if it was my fault because I was sleeping on it partially but he said with the garment it would shape it and although I wasnt a believer, so far its true. Did you ask about your skin quality and how much good usable fat you had? I weighed 136 day of But he said he injected 530cc in each cheek because it was all good fat. I'm sorry to hear your story and that you aren't happy but tog sound be very careful in just going to another dr because if they can't perfect you either is going to be very stressful recovery and out of pocket cost. I wish you much luck.

First of all, you weigh 136lbs and go 530 cc...I weighed 176lb at day of surgery and only got 350 cc. Im 5'9, im not petite so you cant give mee 350cc in each cheek and think Im going to have a much bigger behind. Ive read you petite women having great results with him. Like Ive said in my post he is good with petite women. I probably can putt cc in petite women and be good. Great doctors can work on any body type and have good results. His receptionists are petite as well. I had good fat, he told me I had a good shape before I went in but I came out looking almost the same. Garments are important but if the surgeon didnt do his/her job the garment is useless. Do a search of importance of garments on this site and some doctors will say the same thing. Ive look at Dr.Campos patients and you can clearly tell after the surgery their bodies had changed. IMMEDIATE RESULTS. The bottom line is Im not PETITE so I needed more than 350 CC IN EACH CHEEK.
November 11, 2013
Well I'm sorry you feel that way, I hope you find a better dr who can help you get your results. Best of luck.

I dont mean to bite your head off. You look amazing! I just dont like when the blame is put on the patient. I paid a whole lot of money to look like this. I didnt sit on my butt which is dented at the bottom because no fat was put there. My lipo wasnt aggressive at all. Im not sure why he would take the time to only put 350cc in anybody who paid him $8500 thats the most upsetting part of this whole thing. The disrespect of someone else's money! If he wouldve given me 600cc maybe I would feel differently but he didn't!
February 28, 2014
No one gets it. This was not your fault at all. An honest discussion and an answer should have been given to you prior to you having surgery. I get the feeling sometimes that doctors (not all) are quick to say yes yes and take your money but when the job isn't done well it's all the patient's fault. I wonder why he didn't take more fat out? I mean come on, you're a bigger gal so it should have been not issue getting enough cc's and if he had any doubts about it, he could have told you that BEFORE he took your money and performed surgery. I feel that you have every right to post the doctors name. You are not attacking him. You have posted your experience and your before and after pictures. An honest review whether good or bad is what RS is about, isn't it?
June 12, 2014
What doctor are you referring to. I went to Jeffrey lagrasso and was ripped off. His lipo sucks i still have back rolls my butt still flat. And they laughing
User Avatar
June 12, 2014
Dr. Bruno, subtle improvement but ripped me off too. He was suppose to lipo sides of waist and didn't even though I paid. He made up excuse that the fat could not be used for bbl but I paid for extra lipo in this area.
November 11, 2013
Hi! I'm sorry you are unhappy w your results...I did my revision w him a few days ago and he did a good job to fix what had bothered me :)
User Avatar
November 11, 2013
you do look amazing. He gave you 800cc the first time which is a far cry of 350cc I was given. I know the women with good results want to defend him but facts are facts. I only got 350cc for $8500 and Im PISSED!
November 12, 2013
I remember going to my first consultation for cosmetic surgery and the doctor said she would give me 300 cc in each cheek for $8600. I thought that was pretty good but didn't put down a deposit. I started snooping around and found this site. Now I know that is HORRIBLE. did you ever asked him how much cc he would put in before your surgery?
User Avatar
November 12, 2013
I wasnt on the site before I went in so I wasnt aware of cc amount. The cc amount wouldnt matter if I had a rounded behind with projection. Now I know to have that a certain amount of cc would have to be placed throughout the buttock. This is hard for me because Im not a confrontative person but when I look at women on this site with good results I get depressed
November 12, 2013
Have you posted your question for other doctors to see? Maybe than can give you some advice or input as to why some drs do this, I'm sure your not the first person with this problem.

November 12, 2013
No I havent posted. Doctors have their reasons. Heard about reusable fat etc. If anyone read my post its not just about the size of my butt. Its more about contouring of my waist, back and buttock. I rather have a perky round butt that a big sloppy booty. This have been hard for me to talk about but it have help with my depression from this surgery. He is such a likable person with a good staff and thats why I went with him. I dont like to hurt people because Im a very sensitive person. Sometimes I feel like I get the last end of the stick because I dont speak out. All and all I dont want to bash him but sometimes my hurt emotions take over

CC's depend on how much of pure good fat you have. I got only 315cc and butt is really big. I have never had lipo before and I know that's part of it. CC's ARE IRRELAVANT IF YOU HAVE LIQUID FAT, THAT IS IF YOU EAT CRAP. WHEN I GAINED WEIGHT I GAINED IT WITH GOOD FAT, MILK, PEANUT BUTTER, BANANAS, TONS OF PASTAS AND BREADS, LOTS OF NUTS, PROTEIN SHAKES, AVOCADOS, BROWN RICE, QUINOA ECT... I'm sure you are upset but hey it happens, not everyone has good fat, skin and anatomy. I had a friend with same problem as you, but she went to a doctor in Tijuana very popular here on real self and she looks the same. I also know this other girl here on real self she had her butt done with very famouse doc and she is super unhappy, i guess it depends? I don't know, i say hold on tight and give it some time.

I was asked to stop posting but its hard not to respond to comments like this. I have been a fit person all of my life. Im 44yr old and up until a couple of years until my hip have started hurting I played basketball competitively. Most of my fat came from muscles that had turned to fat! Fat was taken from my front thigh where Ive never had lipo. Ive never had lipo on my stomach or upper back where fat was taken from also. Once again Im not just talking about CC I WASNT CONTOURED MY BODY APPEARS TO BE THE SAME. Jadestone I know you went with him and you are happy and you want to defend him..GREAT! but dont come on here blaming patients. Im African American we have GOOD skin and anatomy. lol. Would you be one of the women that showed his staff my inbox messages?
User Avatar
November 13, 2013
Also Jadestone in your profile you state you started off at 122lbs which tells me youre not a big women so in your little booty cheeks 350 cc would look like a lot. I could never be 122lbs, doctors have told me I shouldnt go under 150lbs. I have med-large bones. I cant slip bracelets on my wrist due to bone size. I have wide hips which means a wide ass which means a lot of filling to do. So body size and structure matters, thats why you look fine with 350cc and I don't.
