Dr. Oliver Chang is fueled by a passion for surgical excellence and a commitment to achieving optimal results for his patients. His dedication extends to cultivating a positive and reassuring bedside manner, creating an uplifting environment for both his patients and his team.
I got my BBL done back in 2018 I believe. I always knew that I wanted/needed a TT but just couldn't afford it at the time. As the months and years passed, I set a goal that I was going to get my darn TT! So in 2022 I switched jobs from a hospice nurse to a contract nurse and a state prison. The pay was considerably different, thus I saved my money in record time. I started doing my research on Miami doctors because I planned to have my round 2 surgery in 2023. I went to Spectrum Aesthetics for my first surgery, and Dr. Chang slayed my BBL! Absolutely love my results. I just didn't love the process at spectrum. IYKYK. I can't remember how I came across Miami Life Surgery Center..wait..yes I do...this chick off TikTok was promoting them. So I went to check the results. And I loved them! OMG! So excited. So I contacted them mid 2023..maybe in July August time frame. Paid deposit of $250 and scheduled my TT with Dr. Daniel Kaufman at Miami Life. I was booked for December 18 2023. Updated on 10 Jan 2024: Updated on 27 Jun 2024: Hey yโall hey! Here I am just enjoying my results provided by the GOAT dr. Daniel Kaufman from Miami life plastic surgery! It was a rough journey this surgery. But I came out on the other side more grateful than ever! Plus my results are fu*king amazing! So 3 weeks after I got an infection in my belly button and on my incision line. I am allergic to the antibiotics they tried prescribing preop and that said ABT would have killed the infection that I had. But since I was given a different one it didnโt kill the infection I ended up having. It was a lengthy process to heal but my shit looks tf good now!
I got a bbl with Dr. Chang on 8/16/2023. I added ab etching which was $4,000 + $6,500 bbl (Lipo 360 w fat transfer). Dr. Chang is the absolute GOAT of bbl's on the East coast. My bbl is perfect. I was worried because I had loose skin and stretch marks on my stomach from having a baby. He hid every incision, you'd never know I had a bbl. He took every bit of fat he could and made my butt big while keeping it natural. If you have the funds and means to book with Chang, DO IT !!! The only down side I will say is , Spectrum Aesthetics is a effing nightmare!! All of the staff is so rude & not helpful at all. If you were expecting some sort of comfort or help with your surgery at all within the office , you're gonna be so disappointed. All of the doctors are too busy/high up to even get back to you or talk to you or comfort you. So if it's something you really want you'll get a great result. If you're too scared or reluctant, don't do it. Thanks dr chang !! I'll definitely be booking a round 2 with you !! Please get your own office , Spectrum is scary as heck coming from a first time plastic surgery customer !!!
After years of joking about it, I finally said what the hell and booked my surgery with Dr.Chang in February 2023 for July 6th of 2023I like to think I have a pretty good foundation. I can see where I would have a small waist and a butt if I just worked out, but after gaining 30 pounds of relationship weight it's time! Im 5'7 and 174 lbs. I was worried I wouldn't be able to get a bbl because I had 60 CCs of SedyFill hyaluronic acid injections in each hip July of 2022, but Dr.Chang was the only doctor at this clinic who would see me which was the only doctor I wanted!! So I really took that as a sign that it was meant to be. I'm so excited for my new body. Updated on 10 Jul 2023: 1 day post op wasnโt too bad, but the soreness and stiffness on day 2 was rough. During my consultation with Dr.Chang I kinda got nervous and forgot to tell him what I was looking for. He told me that since I am so skinny he would put fat in my butt first and if there was anything left heโd put it in my hips. I wanted to emphasize that I prefer booty to be a little bigger/heavier towards the bottom and I donโt care to much for โshelvesโ as it tends to look big and flat. I have a nice amount of roundness now and I know itโs way too early to judge my final results, so Im not stressing about it because my ass is nice and fat now. I have my second post op appointment with him tomorrow, so hopefully he thinks everything is looking good. Updated on 17 Jul 2023: At one week, I was feeling pretty good. I know I still have swelling still so I donโt want to get too excited about my shape cause Iโm sure more of it will disappear. So I try not to stare at my body too long. Updated on 18 Jul 2023: Here are some more photos of my first week. I was 4 day post op here. My right side from the front has always been my โgood sideโ to me while my left side from the back is naturally curvier. So I still see that asymmetry, but it doesnโt bother me too much. Maybe I shouldโve pointed it out to him before hand. Updated on 23 Jul 2023: Iโm feeling really down today because my pubic incision that I was originally draining from still hasnโt closed. And yesterday my incision in my upper butt crack split open too. I keep them bandaged with Neosporin, but my faja doesnโt allow them to have the air they need to dry out and heal. On top of that I have the WORST faja rash ever in my inner thighs near my vagina that i have no clue how to prevent. Warning itโs very gross and scary looking Updated on 17 Aug 2023: Here are some photos from 4 weeks when I first started wearing my stage 2 and some photos I took recently. If I stare at my reflection too long I think I look the same or that my butt is small so I need to really just stay positive. I went back to work after a month which is mainly sitting so i have these lines on my stomach from where my skin creases. I donโt know how to smooth them out and I donโt want them to stay there forever especially that Iโm allowed to sit now. Any recommendations? Itโs hard to keep the skin taut in that area since itโs so low and moves around when I move in my faja. Also my incision are closing and looking good, and my rash has went away. Updated on 24 Aug 2023: Everyone wants a bbl until you have to take in all your clothes. Thank god I have a sewing machine and know what to do! This dress was swallowing me and now that I can see my shape out of my faja Im so happy. Still learning to love my new body and not nitpick at everything. Updated on 24 Aug 2023: Updated on 7 Sep 2023: Cant believe itโs been 2 months. Iโm sitting down for the most part but I sleep on my back and sides in moderation (1-2hours) before it gets uncomfortable. Sitting also still feels weird after a while but otherwise all my incisions are healing and I feel great! Updated on 7 Sep 2023: Oh hereโs another photo I took yesterday I wanted to include. Still working on getting the bottom line in my stomach to disappear but itโs hard cause Iโm sitting more often Updated on 7 Jul 2024: I am so grateful for Dr.Chang he gave me my dream body that I am so confident in. Overall my overall healing process was very smooth with minimal stress. My scars are well hidden and have been fading with the help of creams. I try to work out 3 times a week for upkeep and to keep myself active. Overall, I absolutely love my results
I am happy with my results from dr Chang. I had 360 lipo and bbl. Recovery wasn't bad as I though. Besides waking up on my ass after surgery and wheeling me out so fast, like I was sneaking over. Why try to sit me on my ass to wheel me out. Results: I don't need another but so happy I did it.
I worked with a plastic surgery consultant to figure out what surgeon to go to she pointed me to multiple doctors including Dr.Chang I started my surgery journey in 2018 and have since done multiple procedures Dr.Change gave me a base next is my projection stage I am so happy with my results just wish I had drains I feel I would have had less fluid/ manual draining. He was so educated loved that! His team directed me to a post op care Girl in nyc to help me her ig was the plastic plug I love her !

Updated on 7 Jan 2022: Hey guys this is from a week in up to close to 60 days postop. Obviously itโs so scary at first but within just weeks thereโs a huge difference. Before I got my surgery I kept looking up pictures of โdrop and fluffโ so that I could see what it was. I couldnโt find any good pictures I understood the concept but not the best pictures to go with it. But then I saw my own pictures and thought OK this is what it looks like lol. To be honest I still didnโt โfeelโ that they had changed much, they still felt high up and tight but looking at pictures made me realize how much they were changing and settling in nicely.
Dr. Chang did my surgery February 2020 and I was in love with my results!!! He literally gave me everything I asked for and more!! He is really the goat! He made me feel so comfortable and he listened to all my request! He was also very kind. The staff at spectrum was amazing as well the whole staff made me feel super comfortable and calm. Definitely going back!
Dr. Chang did exactly what I wanted he is very nice and willing to work with my needs. This pic is one day post op. I feeling a lot better now the first 24 hours after surgery are the most painful but after a couple of days it gets better.
I'm scheduled for November 2021 for a BBL with Dr Chang. I've done a ton of research and have waited patiently for years. I'm 40 years old now with one grown kid and another on the way out. It's time for me to start doing things for myself. This is the first of many. The BBL will come first with Lipo 360, then I'll get a tummy tuck next year. I'm nervous, but I can't wait to see my results.
Iโm 1 week post op and Iโm in love with my result, everybody love my body, when they see me they ask me whoโs your doctor. Iโm feel bad because in the post op appointment today with him i forgot to tell him thank you so much for my body, heโs the goat in Miami
(Based off your single photo) - It seems as if one side has developed a double bubble deformity. If this is a flexing picture, likely you want to discuss with your surgeon about revising the pocket (can be because more release of the muscle is needed +/- mastopexy (lift) or changing it from submuscular to above muscle +/- mastopexy). Essentially you need a lift as well to properly replace your breast tissue onto the implant in the correct position and fix animation if it bothers you. I would suggest discussing all this with your surgeon and study the mastopexy scar to prepare yourself for possible outcomes and what the scar looks like. (I do this quite often with my patients - if they aren't ready for the scar, then hold off.)
(Based off your single photo) - would be good to see the full face with eyes and brows to give a full evaluation - but seeing you have NLF - you can benefit from a midface lift versus fillers / fat grafting - results will vary based off the extent of surgical invasiveness you want to proceed with. A hidden scar midface lift can be done to also incorporate some eye rejuvenation (or perhaps changing downward slanting eyes to more upward). Just all depends on what your goals are and the downtime / risks you want to incur.
(Based off your photos) - If you have any desire or thoughts of wanting even a little more volume in the buttocks - then do the BBL instead of just lipo 360 (and essentially removing the fat and will not have anything for future fat transfers). Lipo 360 for someone who is skinny and not fat usually does not give a big contrast with just lipo 360 (you will have minor changes to the waist, slight flatter abdomen) but if you don't add fat to the glutes or hip area - you won't see as much a difference. Also if the fat has been lipo'd once - in the future there will be likely very little fat to extract should you desire more volume to somewhere at that time. In my opinion, if a little fat was added to your mid butt, it would give you a little more projection - leading to a more athletic look, along with the lipo 360.
Based off your current photos (a baseline preop photo would definitely help here) - but usually you have uneven IMFs to start (at preop) - a surgeon can adjust IMFs to try to match if there's a discrepancy enough that's worth the other possible risks of trying to fix it. Because we don't have a preop baseline photo, it's hard to assess if this the result of technique or your anatomy. And yes you can up size implants and possibly even ask your surgeon to retighten the pocket of your implant and skin envelope at that time as well. (Maybe even address the uneven IMFs and see if it's worth the risks.)
Based off your photos - (without an examine) I agree, more skin can be removed based off your current 9 month photo. The question is will the numbness come back as you get closer to the 1 year and more mark or will it stay about the same (difficult to assess - if there's no nerve issues - this can still be transient and still recovering; if there is nerve issues - scar tissue trapping it, maybe technical issues - then the chances of sensation coming back will be much less) - If the extra skin bothers you enough, I would recommend discussing with your surgeon the differences if you should pursue revision and seeing what can be done in terms of the sensation. If you're already numb and its manageable - usually removing more skin likely won't decrease any more sensation than you have already lost (sometimes if there's nerve trapped under scar tissue - this actually might help with rebuilding sensation back if the scar tissue is removed or excised) In the meantime, I recommend lifting weights to help build more muscle to your arms to help fill out the loose skin some more and still compress and massage daily (self message). This is a tough decision that you need to think and weigh the benefits / risks with by also discussing with your surgeon for this next revision procedure.
