Hello Ladies,
I hope my experience helps someone else that is mature, and considering liposculpture, and a BBL. I had a birthday in the spring, and I wanted to treat myself to a new body that I was happy with. After being injured in an accident. I gained weight. I knew I needed a change, because my weight gain caused unnecessary health issues. I had a co worker that went to Dr Shahine. I was apprehensive at first because of past reviews. But my co worker reassured me that I would be fine, and that she did not have a bad experience. I thought of going outside of the US to get surgery, and post op care. Due to medical reasons, my PCP wanted me to stay in the US. If I was staying in the US, I wanted to stay with a Surgeon in NYC. I scheduled an appointment, which went smooth. When I arrived, there was another patient in the waiting area being seen for her follow up. I asked her a ton of questions. I got another confirmation that everything would be fine. I saw several ladies that were past patients while I was waiting for my appointment coming & going. I asked all of them questions. I knew from the pictures on the wall, I wanted to have a conservative BBL. It was mainly my anxiety more than anything. I went in for my appointment. I explained what I was looking for, which was aggressive full body lipo on arms, inner thighs, back, under my chin, and I wanted to have a BBL. Dr Shahine told me he would do his best, and to have realistic expectations. It may a couple of surgeries to get the look, I wanted. So going in to this, my expectations were not that high. But I felt good about Dr Shahine, and his experience. I did mention that I work in government, and I wanted to keep my BBL conservative.
Dr Shahine gave me a quote, lab work, and explained once he reviewed my lab work, that a date would be scheduled, and payment made in advance.
Fast track ahead 4 weeks, I was cleared, and told to take iron to keep my blood levels high. I bought a elemental iron blood builder, I started taking Vitamin C. I was also advised to do pre op massages, which I did. I did not get my faja until after I had my surgery.
Due to the nature of my job, I can not have selfies or pictures floating around of me. I rarely take photos, but I allowed these photos to be taken just for my memories of where I started.
