BBL Staten Island Jan 2012

Very curious about interesting history....do tell please.

Hi Butterbean,
I hope you are fine and still happy with your results. I remember when we were researching different docs and methods of fat injections, Hegg had a rather unique method. I had met with him and was scheduled, but then I moved to NY. I had bbl in NY with Heller in January. None of the fat has reabsorbed or moved and I am tremendously happy about that, although I would have liked more volume. Also, I still have a tendency to gain weight first in my abdomen, although thankfully, love handles are still history! Can anyone else who had surgery a year or so ago comment on where they are at now? Again, I think you had the most fantastic results and your review and comments were helpful and encouraging, hope you are doing well. I miss Cali!

Dr. Cuber and Dr. Heller (who did mine) are part of the same practice. They have offices in Manhattan and Staten Island. I had office visits in Manhattan because closer to home, but Staten Island for surgery because it cost less. Excellent facility.

Finally another person on this site who went with Dr. Heller! I hope you will be pleased with your results. I had 300 ccs each cheek which I was a little disappointed but then I went back 6 weeks later and he shot some more in. He was so nice to me and his staff was really fantastic. Isn't it interesting he is so insistent that he will not inject larger amounts as most of the other docs seem to...he was convincing and I have not lost any volume so far, that was Jan 3 had my bbl. I would like to hear what people say who got 600 or 800 or 1000 ccs if the volume stayed after 6 months or a year. As far as not telling your husband, hmmm....hard to hide the bruises! You just tell him how this is something you needed to do to feel better every day...you KNOW he's gonna like it! Nobody else EVER said a word to me about my new curves so I guess it wasn't too much but it sure made me happy! Good luck with the baby. I took care of my son's infant right after, but I didn't have to move too much cause he wasn't crawling. Heller's recovery is not a horror show of drains and swollen genitals and burning lipo sites so you hopefully have a mild recovery.

Butterbean! You look fabulous! I have to admit I am envious. I was scheduled with Dr. Hegg originally but a move to NY and I had to select new doc, Heller in Manhattan...he was great and I def did not have as tough a recovery as you, BUT my results are not as magnificent as yours! Still happy I had the surgery and maybe my results are not as spectacular partly due to my age 47. I think you have the best after pics I have seen.
