Dr.Jariel is by far the best plastic surgeon, actually best doctor I have ever encountered. I have seen a good amount of plastic surgeons due to a back issue and needing a breast reduction. The first time I walked into his office, he was genuine and kind. You can tell he was knowledgeable about what he does and he was very informative. He answered all of my questions before I even asked. He preformed my surgery a few weeks ago and he was phenomenal. While I was in surgery with him, he kept my family informed on what was going on, how I was doing, and what he was doing. It was my first time ever in surgery, so I was super nervous, he rest-assured me. I would recommend him to any and everyone.
Hace dos semanas que me realice un aumento de senos con este maravilloso doctor . Mi nombre es Yisley Aguilar quería darle las gracias por su excelente trabajo . Me siento muy feliz con mis resultados y sin dudas lo recomiendo al 100% .
Very nice and compressive plastic surgery he did my surgery at months ago in miami and he giving me perfect boots and i just want to say thank you because i have beautiful boobs now and i feel so happy for that so thank you very much doctor jarial .......
On Wednesday February 28th I had a BBL with 360 Lipo done by Dr. Jarial. I met with him the day before which was the 27th of February where he educated me on what i could have done and also told me about a hernia that i didn't even know I had. I was so nervous but his voice is so smooth it relaxed me instantly. He has a great sense of humor. Know how to really calm someone down. My results were noticeable instantly. I just have some minor swelling. He is very knowledgeable and can explain anything when being asked a question. I recommended my entire family and friends to him.
My experience has exceeded my expectations. What a caring and kind doctor. I had thigh liposuction yesterday and I am overly impressed with the work he did. It has exceeded my expectations. Amazing results and I’m only one day post op. Can’t wait to see full results. I had different options for surgeons and for a few years I had gone for consultations with different surgeons and different clinics. With him I felt comfortable and at ease from the get go. He explains everything in detail. I had hesitate in the past and with other physicians as this is a huge procedure, but with him I felt he understood me and knew exactly what I wanted. I’m very pleased to say the least. I recommend him to all wishing to improve their appearance . What a marvelous doctor. Thank you doctor Jarial, you have changed the way I feel about my body. I’m not a shamed of showing my thighs anymore. Will post pictures later on
Dr. Jarial is an amazing surgeon he listened to my concerns and desires and completely met my expectations. I love my doctor and my results I would definitely recommend him to anyone interested is plastic surgery. His bedside manners and the care that he gives to his patients superseded any and all of my expectations he's the best.
My experience was awesome with Dr.Jarial! I had my surgery 6/21/17 and I feel great and noticed huge results! Dr. Jarial is an outstanding and personable Dr., before surgery he took the time to understand what I wanted, and surpassed my expectations! Kudos to you Dr.Jarial! You better believe I'm recommending you to everyone I know!
Hi guys! I've been lurking on this site for years now and I have finally got up the nerve to give this surgery serious consideration. I have had consultations in Chicago where I live, but the bang isn't good enough for my buck. I reached out to Dr. Fisher's staff and got a very quick response. Apparently, he's with new management at Jolie Plastic Surgery. My surgery coordinator Venus called me within 24 hours. She told me Dr. Fisher has a special going on that includes bbl,? 12 lipo areas, 1 garment, and 2 massages (it could have been 3 but I don't remember) for $6500 which is amazing. I've pretty much made up my mind that I want to go with Fisher. The price is great and I have seen great work from him. I'm more so concerned about recovery and where I'm going to stay. I'm trying to be as cost effective as possible. I'm looking into recovery houses. I prefer one that includes meals and transportation. I'm also considering getting a hotel room and hiring a nurse from Bold and Beautiful (great reviews). I'm lost here guys. I'm trying to plan vacation days at work. How many days minimum should I stay in town? What do I need to buy for surgery? I haven't booked yet but as scared as I am, I'm 90% sure I'm going to do it. I just want to be as prepared financially as possible. Once I book, I'll start posting before pics and wish pics. I appreciate you guys' help in advance. Updated on 23 May 2017: I sent in my consultation pics and was told that I'm a good candidate. I plan on paying in full as soon as I'm approved for a medical loan with good terms. This is happening so fast. I'm freaking out and I haven't even scheduled a date yet. I know that paying in full, I can get in sooner. I just have so much to work out as far as scheduling my days off, finding someone who can possibly go with me, recovery, aaahhh I'm freaking out. Here are some wish pics. Updated on 24 May 2017: I applied and got approved yesterday. The company in charge of my loan is "Special Financing Company". I looked them up and it looks shady. The loan terms that I was quoted were good but I asked to see official documents. I'm waiting on the rep from United Medical to send it. Has anyone used this to pay? How did it go? I'm trying to look for alternatives that won't wreck my good credit. Updated on 25 May 2017: This is happening so fast. I decided not to use United Medical Care. It was going to cost me too much extra money. I took a loan out on my 401k and booked for July 12. I have so much nervous excitement. I requested my days off so now I have to book my flight and recovery house. Anyone else booked with Fisher around that time? Updated on 29 May 2017: Hey guys! In case anyone's interested, Dolls Recovery Getaway in Miami is having a sale today. $140 a night. See picture for details. Updated on 31 May 2017: I paid off my balance today and booked my flight. I booked first class on my return flight because they have lie-flat seats. I want to be able to lay flat on my stomach to preserve my fat grafts. I just need to book my recovery house and buy my supplies. I know that Dolls Recovery House provides basic supplies and my surgery price includes 1 faja, 2 lipo foams, and 4 massages. Should I get a third lipo foam and some lipo boards? Also, does the crotch hole in the garment make it possible to poop? Sounds silly but I really need to know. Updated on 6 Jun 2017: I am 35 days pre-op. At this point, I've been praying against any post-op complications and I feel at peace. The only thing that I'm a little bit nervous about is my blood work. I have a history of anemia and have prescribed iron pills. I've been taking them for about a week. I'm praying that my hemoglobin is high enough to pass. I've been drinking a lot of vitamin C as well. I hear that helps with iron absorption. I'm hoping that Yisel sends me my lab prescription within the next 5-7 days so that I can get my lab work done before my period starts. I have very heavy periods which is what causes my anemia. I don't want to fail my hemoglobin test because of it. Updated on 6 Jun 2017: Before, I was absolutely against the shelf/laterals/round booty and wanted to go strictly with the hourglass shape. Now, I think both would look great on my frame. I think I was more worried about what other people would think since it would be more obvious that I had work done. Now, I feel like it's my money and I better get my money's worth. I'm going to get exactly what I want regardless of who notices that I had work done. I found this video on youtube that explains the difference and also shows ladies who have both hips and laterals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zktEmTWlX2Y What did you guys tell your doctor that you wanted? Did he/she deliver? Updated on 7 Jun 2017: I got a call from Yisel today asking about my medical questionnaire. I put that previously, I've had asthma, bronchitis and pneumonia. I explained to them that I had those things in childhood. Dr. Fisher said that he doesn't feel comfortable doing my surgery. Hurt is an understatement right now. I already booked my recovery house and flights. Yisel said she will seek a second opinion from the other doctors at Jolie but it's not looking good. Updated on 8 Jun 2017: So there is a chance that I can be approved for surgery but it would be done by Dr. Jarial. I checked him out. He has good credentials and good results. I really want my surgery so I hope he says yes and that I can get in the same day. If he denies me, then it's God's will that I don't have the surgery and I'll leave it at that. Anybody have their bbl done by him? Updated on 8 Jun 2017: Everything happens for a reason and for whatever reason that is, Fisher denied me and Jarial approved me for the same date. So now I have to get my labs done, my medical clearance, and my chest X-ray done. God willing I'll be all clear. Updated on 12 Jun 2017: I'm getting a little frustrated. I received my prescriptions for labs and X-rays on Friday. They were all written on a prescription pad and the X-ray prescription doesn't specify the type of X-ray. It looks so unprofessional. Has anyone else who's dealt with this office experienced this? I'm including screenshots of the prescriptions. This doesn't make any sense. I emailed Anyelin about it and haven't gotten a response yet. Updated on 13 Jun 2017: Time is winding down and I'm in the process of getting all of my medical clearances. My plan is to get my labs and X-rays done this Friday/Saturday. I called my psychiatrist's office to get my medical clearance today. All I need is clearance from a pulmonologist. I'm hoping I can convince Dr. Jarial to let me go to my PCP instead. It would make things so much easier. Fingers crossed! I've been taking a multivitamin that has 100% iron and vitamin C as well as a probiotic. I'm working on my digestive health so that I won't have bloat that will make my waist look bigger. Hopefully it will give my hemoglobin a boost. Updated on 16 Jun 2017: I went to get my lab work done today. I've been taking vitamins so hopefully my hemoglobin is normal. Everything went fine as far as that. Not so much for my chest x-rays. I got my prescriptions for everything last week. Immediately, I noticed that my prescription for x-rays just said x-rays. No specificity at all. I emailed my pre-op coordinator and asked her if this would fly. She didn't respond. I called her and she said she would send me one that says chest x-ray on it. She never did. I decided to give it a shot anyway. I found a walk in facility that does both imaging and blood draws. After my blood draw, I went to register for my x-ray, gave the lady my prescription, and she looked at me like I was crazy. She said "I can't do anything with this. It doesn't say what kind of x-ray". I knew that would happen. I called Jolie immediately after and of course my coordinator is unavailable. I couldn't keep my attitude together. While my initial coordinator Venus was cool, after my money was collected, customer service went downhill. My emails have gone unanswered by my pre-op coordinator. I'm supposed to be getting a $1000 refund due to Dr. Jarial being cheaper than Fisher and I've heard nothing about it. As a matter of fact, they don't even have a number I can call. Only an email. That's super shady. I ready that Vanity/Eres/Imagenes/Jolie was a terrible company SEVERAL TIMES. I only decided to go with them because of Fisher. Now that Fisher denied me and I have to go with Jarial, I'm regretting ever giving them my coins. I feel like everything is going to be a fight. Now I look around and have a new pre-op coordinator who gave me the correct prescription. I hope she's better than the last one I had. She was probably tired of me calling so much. I wouldn't call so much if things would go the way they should go. I understand the office is swamped but at least respond and do what you say you're going to do. Updated on 20 Jun 2017: Dr. Jarial agreed to let me get clearance from my PCP instead of a pulmonologist thank God. I got that clearance today. Jolie received my HIV results today. I'm still waiting on the rest of my lab work. I'm getting my chest x-rays on Friday. I'll be all done after that. Now, I just have to hope for the best. As soon as I'm cleared, I'm going to buy my supplies. Dolls Recovery Getaway comes with basic supplies. I'm not sure exactly what they are but I want to purchase as little as possible. I definitely don't want to overpack. My surgery package comes with 1 faja and 2 lipo foams. I plan to get an additional faja from them. I know I need an ab board and a back board. I plan to get 2 tank tops to wear under my foams. I already have a couple maxi dresses. I plan to get 2-3 more, a couple joggers, compression socks, Dr. Miami booty pillow, arnica gel and pills, stool softeners, Advil PM, a female urinal, a body pillow for home, chux pads for home, silicon sheets for scars. What else do I need? I found a great website called Chiseled Lux that has recovery kits amongst a bunch of other goodies. I followed them on IG and they dm'd me a coupon for the website. I'm tempted to buy their recovery box and their post surgical pineapple tea. Honestly, I want one of everything on the website. Updated on 28 Jun 2017: Labs came back normal except for hemoglobin. It was at 11.6 so I opted for cell saver. My pre-op instructions say to stop vitamins 1-2 weeks pre-op so I'm considering continuing my vitamins for a few more days. I should be good after my chest X-ray results come back. I'm so glad the wait is coming to an end. 13 more days! Updated on 28 Jun 2017: Her results are exactly what I'm going for. Updated on 28 Jun 2017: My current stats are: 5'3" 172 pounds. 36-35-42.5 Updated on 30 Jun 2017: I'm 11 days pre-op and I'm having cold feet about my doctor.There isn't much information out on Dr. Jarial, and I don't feel confident that he can give me the results that I want. With Dr. BBL, I KNOW that I can get those results. The problem is, he charges about $4000 more. I've already paid Jolie in full. I know that should I cancel, they are going to hold $650 of the $6500 that I paid. (I paid $6500 for Fisher. Jarial charges $5500 so I'm waiting on my $1000 refund). I've booked my flights and hotel. I also put down a $250 deposit with a recovery home that's nonrefundable as well. I know for a fact that if I pay Balgobin in installments, I'm probably not going to get in until much later this year. I don't know what to do. I'm still not even fully cleared for surgery with Jarial. I'm waiting on my chest x-rays. I would feel so much better if I could find a few people who got a bbl with Jarial and see their before and after photos. There's just not enough information out there on him. I think I'm going to send in my pictures to Balgobin and see what he says. He might be worth the wait. Updated on 4 Jul 2017: I have absolutely no supplies. I've been trying to wait until I was completely cleared for surgery before I bought anything but you know how Jolie is. You can have your docs sent a million times and they will swear they don't have it. I'm still waiting for them to look over my chest x-ray results. I'm most worried about my booty buddy getting here on time. It takes 2-5 days to ship and that's cutting it really close seeing as I fly out in a week. Express shipping is 45 dollars! I don't know what to do. Updated on 8 Jul 2017: Finally, I'm cleared! It's getting real now. I can't believe it's happening. Just a few days before I fly out to Miami. I'm gonna take off my acrylics today and rack up on supplies. Aaaaaahhhh I'm so excited! Updated on 10 Jul 2017: Today is literally the day before I fly out to Miami and I get a call telling me that my surgery is being pushed back to Thursday instead of Wednesday. I'm annoyed because not only am I wasting a night in the recovery house, I'm cutting my recovery time short in Miami. I wanted to stay as long as possible. They told me Dr. Jarial has a reconstructive case Wednesday. I understand that but how long did he know about it. Ugh I'm so annoyed. Updated on 10 Jul 2017: The nerves are starting to set in. I'm flying out at 6am tomorrow morning. I just want everything to go smoothly from a health standpoint. I want to be put to sleep, go through my operation, wake up, and recover with no complications. Everything else come secondary. I'm having issues with dates and supplies but all that matters is that the procedure and recovery go as planned. Updated on 11 Jul 2017: I'm at the airport and it's about 45 minutes before I board. I'm excited and nervous. Merileine from Dolls Recovery Getaway will be picking me up at Miami International Airport. I still have a couple days before surgery so I have some time to prepare myself mentally and spiritually. The only thing is my period will be here in a few days:/ That's going to suck having to deal with that and my garment. Updated on 11 Jul 2017: Pre-op went very smoothly. I didn't have to wait long at all. I got to Jolie around 11am. I went to the front desk to check in and pay for my drug test. Not even 5 minutes later they called me back to take pre-op pictures. After that, I met with the nurse practitioner to go over medical history and to sign paperwork. Then, I got fitted for my faja and got my lipo foams. Now I'm waiting to book my massages and I'll be done. Merileine from Dolls Recovery will be picking me up to take me to the recovery house. Her husband Jabar picked me up from the airport and took me straight to Jolie. He is very nice and friendly. I'll do a full review of Dolls Recovery after I have been there a few days. Updated on 11 Jul 2017: Updated on 13 Jul 2017: It's about 5:30am in Miami. I'm heading out to Jolie in about 30 minutes. I got a little bit of sleep but not much. I'm trying to keep my nerves under control. I keep reminding myself that I have been under anesthesia before and I have been perfectly fine. Everything is going to go exactly the way it's supposed to. One small issue I'm having is that I spent hours trying to get my right nipple ring out yesterday and this morning and it has not budged. After a while, I was able to get the left one out and place a clear retainer in. This right one is being extremely stubborn. I hope they can get it out for me. I didn't come all this way to be let down by a piercing. Updated on 13 Jul 2017: Dr. Jarial made me feel so much better. I shed a few tears and ripped my gown lol. The anesthetist is great also. Both are super nice and made me feel comfortable. Getting ready to go back in a few. Prayers up! Updated on 14 Jul 2017: So surgery day went super smooth. I had to be there at 7:30am but I got dropped off at 6:30. Around 7:15, I went back to take my pee test. They took my blood pressure and pulse and went over my medical history. Took before pictures and put on gown. Dr. Jarial came in shortly after that. He was very nice. I signed some more paperwork, took more pictures, marked me up,then he told me the plan. I loved the plan! The anesthetist came in. Wonderful lady. She went over my medical history again and really made me feel better about everything. Probably about 5-10 minutes later, I was taken to the surgery area and laid on the table. She put in my IV, gave me something to relax, put the gas mask on and I was out. It was over before I knew it. I woke up freezing and shivering facedown in the recovery area. My ride came to pick me up. The ride home wasn't too bad because the anesthesia hadn't completely worn off. I actually did really well the first day. I walked quite a bit. I wasn't able to eat much so I threw up my meds. Today, is worse by far. Still not as bad as I expected but not good either. I didn't get very much sleep last night. My neck was and still is in so much pain. I haven't eaten much and I've been peeing every 2-3 hours. I drained a lot more yesterday than I did today. I'm about to get a massage in an hour so hopefully I'll be able to move around better. Here's some after pics from yesterday. Updated on 15 Jul 2017: I can't stress the importance enough. I had my first one yesterday. My second one today and another one in a little while. The swelling is so uncomfortable. The massages help so much. I went from walking hunched over to walking straight up. You have to get them to get the fluid out. Fluid build up can cause seromas and fibrosis. Both are big no nos. I've been doing okay overall. I have random moments of weakness, probably due to my lack of appetite. I'm just tired in general. Updated on 16 Jul 2017: The pain is starting to get better now. I'm still extremely tired which probably means my hemoglobin is low. Im so weak that I can't hook my garment by myself. I've pretty much left it off all day trying to deal with my period. On a better note, I'm healing really well. I have a lot of swelling but not a lot of fluid which is good. My butt is actually starting to soften in some spots and jiggle a little bit. I've been up walking a lot since surgery and I think it's helped with the blood supply to my fat grafts. You have to keep moving even when you don't feel like it. Updated on 17 Jul 2017: Choosing this recovery house was the best decision I made. Merileine and the staff are so friendly and helpful. I was well fed and well taken care of. You get 3 meals a day plus snacks. All of which are healthy and tasty. You get basic supplies: chux pads, hibiclens, gauze, etc. She also has supplies for sale: fajas, foams, bbl pillows, arnica, etc. You get transportation to and from the airport, surgery, and 2 post op appointments. I would not have made it without their help. I actually ended up staying an additional 2 days. Recovery is brutal and you are going to need all the help you can get. They have a massage therapist, @ChrissDiaz who comes to the house every single day. She's amazing! Although the first couple massages are really painful, you feel so much better afterwards. It really helps to get the fluid out. I'm sad to leave and have to find someone else to do my massages. They keep the house clean and they are staffed 24 hours a day. I stayed for 7 days and 8 nights. I enjoyed every minute of it and I highly recommend them. Updated on 17 Jul 2017: Major difference in swelling and fluid day to day. Here's some comparison pics between day 3 and 4. Butt is still softening. Hips not so much. Another thing to note is that a wrap around lipo foam is a lifesaver. The traditional foams are cool but it's hard to position them correctly and put your faja on at the same time. The ends attach together by Velcro so you can adjust the compression. Best thing invented for lipo patients in my opinion. Updated on 19 Jul 2017: 169.2 lbs 36-35-44 My measurements aren't that different but my shape has changed dramatically. My waist looks great even with the swelling compared to what it did pre-op. My butt is high and swollen but I know it will drop and fluff over the next few months. I'm thrilled so far. Although the recovery is really rough with the nausea and hot flashes and constipation, I think my end results will be worth it. I started trying on clothes just to get a peak of how I will look and I'm impressed. I'm only 6 days post op so I have a long way to go but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. P.S. sleeping with those lipo foams and the garment is the devil. I'm having a really hard time with that. Updated on 20 Jul 2017: Hey guys. So my shelf has come down some. My right cheek is really softening up. The left cheek not so much yet. Hips are still incredibly tender. Sides and right under breasts are very tender as well. I have a few lumps on my sides and am getting a massage tomorrow. They told me that they took out 2800 CCs and put 1100 CCs in each cheek. I'm very happy with the amount. Here's an updated pic. Updated on 22 Jul 2017: Hey Guys. I had my first massage since coming home yesterday. I have so many lumps around my ribs. The massage was $150 but it was worth every penny. I felt like a new woman when I left. I'm scheduled to go back in 4 days. I also bought a handheld massager which helped with some of my lumps too. Massaging my own lumps was starting to make me nauseous for some reason but I'll give it another try today. I'll try to take some pics later on today. Updated on 22 Jul 2017: Updated on 22 Jul 2017: I'm working with 2 different asses. I LOVE the right cheek. I have a shelf and hips. Exactly what I wanted. The left doesn't have a shelf at all. I still like it but I hope to God they even out over time. Either the right needs to come down more or the left needs to fluff more overall. I really like shelf ???? Updated on 23 Jul 2017: I just want to share some of my frustrations that I have going through this process. 1. The swelling/lumpiness. I was prepared for the swelling. I don't think I truly prepared myself for the lumps. I wear my garment all night and the vast majority of the day (although I tend to cheat with the 360 lipo foam). I don't wear the lipo foam as much because it's irritating. I have firm spots literally ALL over my waist and back. I've had 6 massages already and I'm scheduled for another in a couple days. I have quite a bit of fluid on my lower right side. Trying not to be nervous about it. 2. Booty greed. I was hoping I wouldn't feel this way. At first my butt was very high. I wanted it to come down but I loved the volume. As of today, the swelling has gone down significantly and so has my volume! It's still very firm but I don't want to lose any more volume. I'm in love with my overall silhouette but the booty greed is setting in. Starting to wonder if 1100 CCs a cheek was enough ???? I'm probably tripping since I'm only 10 days post op. Just wanted to vent. Hopefully my spots soften up soon and I don't lose any more booty. I've been using my bbl pillow but I think I'm going to reserve it just for driving. I have to go back to the office tomorrow. Updated on 27 Jul 2017: I can't believe it's been 2 weeks already. I've had 2 lymphatic drainage massages with ultrasound since I got home last Tuesday. They have helped with the swelling and lumpiness tremendously. I did have a large protruding lump on my right side near where my drain was. It wasn't watery so I knew it wasn't a seroma. I ended up folding a piece of lipo foam and putting it over the lump inside my garment last night. The lump is definitely smaller than last night so it's swelling. My hips and butt are starting to soften quite a bit. I'm loving my shape even with the swelling. My sides don't hurt as bad anymore. I will try to post some updated pictures either today or this weekend. Updated on 29 Jul 2017: Disclaimer: I had been out of my garment for about 3-4 hours so my waist is swollen. Updated on 2 Aug 2017: Tomorrow will make 3 weeks since surgery. I'm officially cleared to sit but I probably won't until my butt is completely soft. Still swelling quite a bit but it gets better with every passing week. My biggest irritation right now are these random sharp pains throughout my abdomen and back. They REALLY hurt. I understand that it's all a part of the healing process. Nerves are reattaching. Other than that I'm feeling good and looking great. Swelling around my waist has reduced by half an inch. I'll do my updated measurements at 1 month post op unless otherwise requested. Updated on 10 Aug 2017: One month flew by my goodness. I'm feeling good. Still swelling in my waist but not nearly as much. Numbness is mostly gone. My hips and booty are about 80% soft. I've been sitting for about a week now per my post op instructions. I still use my booty pillow here and there. Uhhhh what else? I'm still getting massages with ultrasound. They have helped significantly with the lumps. My back triangle fell in the toilet at about 5 days post op. Jolie has yet to call me back to tell me how to make a new one. If anyone knows how PLEASE let me know. I tried a lumbar board that I bought from Amazon and it doesn't stay in place at all. I need my back curve poppin okay! My current stats are 36-34-44. Booty holding steady and looking great. Waist down an inch. I've gone down a size in jeans too which is exciting. I'm really hoping to get my waist down to 28-30 inches. Only time will tell. Updated on 10 Aug 2017: Updated on 18 Aug 2017: I'm 5 weeks and 2 days post op today. It may be too early, but I'm getting antsy about my waist results. I started at 35 inches and am now at 33.75 inches. I feel like I should be smaller. My smaller faja that I've been wearing since week 2 has caused creasing on both sides of my waist. Does that mean my faja is too tight? I wear my foam at night but I feel like I'm still swelling as much as I was a couple weeks ago. Maybe I'm just being impatient. I'm considering a waist trainer although the doc said no waist trainer for 6 months :/. Idk what to do. The ab board doesn't seem to be doing much either. On the booty side, today was the first day that I seriously considered a round 2. Currently I'm at 43.5 inches and I look good but I looked GREAT at 45 inches. Is fluffing really a thing? Can someone tell me for sure that their butt got bigger after the swelling went down somewhere around the 2nd and 3rd month? I really hope it's not a myth. I'm having serious booty greed. My doc said I could sit at 3 weeks so I have been. As for round 2...idk if I could go through this again. I'll wait and see if I fluff or nah. Updated on 24 Aug 2017: At this point, I have completely abandoned the lipo foams. They were way too bulky. I gave them a good month though. I started wearing a size large faja today. Down from a size 2XL. It was a squeeze but I need the compression to snatch this waist. Although my waist is smaller than when I started (by about an inch) I still have hella swelling. I'm ready to see more improvement in my waistline. As far as my hips and butt, I'm measuring at 43 inches. An inch larger than pre-op. Trying not to get discouraged so I hope that the fluff is real. Even an inch of fluff would make me happier. Hopefully my waist can go down another inch or so over the next couple weeks. My pre-op stats were 36-35-42. My 6 week stats are 36-34-43. I need this waist to shrink and for the booty to fluff. I need the numbers to move in the opposite directions. I'm still getting massages every 1-2 weeks. I had one with radio frequency today to help with lumps. Btw my lumps are getting better. I still have some trouble spots on my sides and abdomen but it's getting better every week. I have plans to go out tomorrow so I'll try to remember to take pics and post them. Updated on 28 Aug 2017: As you can see in my pics, I'm having some issues with my waist. I really hope it's not fibrosis but I have hardened areas that are being really resistant to massage. Also, my stomach is poking out like I'm 3-4 months pregnant. If you look at the side profile, you can see how round it is. I can't tell if it's bloating (I've been super gassy lately), swelling or a combination of both. My fear I that it's deep belly fat that you can't remove with lipo. I don't think it is because I was never that much overweight. But I have to consider the possibility. My waist looks a lot smaller after massages but not as small as I would like. Like I said in my past posts, I could very well be rushing the process. I'm not even 2 months Post op yet. I keep comparing myself to other people's progress and I feel that my waist should be smaller. I started layering my foams, garment and then a waist trainer. It gives me good compression but my stomach looks Round even with all that on. I asked Jolie to send me my after pics from surgery day. Hopefully I can get a good idea of what I will look like once all the swelling has gone down. Updated on 2 Sep 2017: So I don't have much of an update this week. I did find that if I wear my foams to bed with my faja, I don't look as bloated. The overall size of my waist is the same. I decided to give myself 3 months before I officially complain to my doctor. I'm starting to think that there is a lot of leftover fat in my abdomen and flanks. Not so much my back because it looks great. Butt and hips aren't what I expected either although my overall shape is improved. By January, if I find that there is a lot of fat leftover I'm going to consider a round 2. I just can't imagine having to go through all of this again. Recovery is so hard. If I do decide on round 2, I'm going to Balgobin or possibly Blinski. Updated on 5 Sep 2017: In a couple of days, I will be 8 weeks post. 2 months went by so fast. I have found the holy grail of lipo 360. The waist trainer! As you guys know, I was getting extremely frustrated about the swelling. I started wearing a 3 hook waist trainer yesterday and it has made a world of a difference. Although my doctor told me not to wear it for 6 months, my waist looks sooooo much better after being in the waist trainer all day. It's also helping with the lumps. They are going away drastically. Not much change in my waist measurement but I'll wear the waist trainer religiously for a couple weeks and see if it makes my waist smaller. I wear my faja and foams at night. I'm a little afraid to wear the waist trainer at night because of how tight it is. All in all, it seems to be working wonders. I can't wait for my next massage. Also, it seems the Biocorneum scar cream is starting to flatten my scars (they were raising). I massage my lipod areas with coconut oil to help with swelling and skin tightening. Not to mention it makes my skin really soft. Hopefully this helps someone. Updated on 12 Sep 2017: I'm discouraged again. Pre-op, my waist measured at 35 inches. 1 week post-op, I measured exactly the same. That should have been a clue. At one month post-op, I measured at 34 inches. At 6 weeks post-op, I measured at 34 inches. Currently, I am almost 9 weeks post op, and there is barely a difference in my waistline. Mind you, my back looks 100% better which I am grateful for. HOWEVER, my waist is not snatched! I'm pissed because when I sent in my virtual consultation pics and talked to the coordinator, her exact words were " we can snatch that waist". I fully expected to lose at least 5 inches off my waist over the course of 2-3 months. I actually expected to lose at least 2-3 immediately! My waist measured exactly the same for weeks and I don't think swelling is the culprit. As my waist softens, my upper abdomen has leftover fat and my flanks have leftover fat. My waistline looks nothing like I expected. At first, I admit to being excited because my overall shape was improved. I was happy to have any improvement. Now that I am over 2 months post, I want my money's worth. I could even see if I lost 3 inches by now and will lose 2 more later. I haven't lost that much yet and I believe it's due to leftover fat. Here's why I think that. In the state of Florida, the max amount of fat that you can take out through liposuction is 4000 CCs. My doctor only took out 2800 CCs. When I found this out, I foolishly thought "well, maybe I wasn't as fat as I thought". Clearly I was since there is barely a change in my measurements. He could have taken out 1200 more CCs and my waist would be smaller and I could've had more added to my hips and butt. I look at myself in clothes and I am happy that there is SOME change in my waistline but it is NOT flat. The whole point of this was for me to have a flat stomach. I don't think that was unrealistic considering that he could've taken out 1200 more CCs. That would've made a world of a difference. There is still a small part of me that hopes and prays that after another 2-3 months my waist will be 28-30 inches. At least 30. I have seen women with similar waistlines lose 6+ inches off their waists in one round. Literally within a couple weeks of surgery. I don't understand why so much fat was left. Coupled with the swelling, I look 4-5 months pregnant. Maybe I can put my shame and disappointment to the side and post some current pictures so you guys can see what I mean. My last pictures were decent after being in my waist trainer. But my waist is still not snatched there. It measures at about 33.5 inches. Not what I asked for nor expected. Let me reiterate. I know that it takes at least 6 months to see final results. I'm holding on to the fact that I still have swelling. It's the only thing keeping me from going into a full rage. HOWEVER, as my waist softens, I can clearly tell that there is excess fat left. I even asked my massage therapist that specializes in post- lipo massages. She agrees with me. I know that doctors can't get everything but it seems like he didn't even try. Maybe I'm missing something but if I am, somebody at Jolie needs to let me know what happened. Jolie makes it so difficult to get straight answers and to talk to the doctors. I really want to ask my doctor why he left so much fat. I emailed the post-op coordinator. Let's see how this goes since they have yet to get back to me on other matters related to swelling. I've emailed them 3-4 times over the past month (insert eye roll). I really thought they were on point at first. I was fooled. Updated on 18 Sep 2017: I got a call from Diana at Jolie. They are just now back in business after Hurricane Irma so I'm glad everyone is okay. She called me because I sent an email asking why I only had 2800 CCs taken out and why my waist wasn't as small as I would like at this point. She was honest with me and told me that I had quite a bit of fat before surgery, which I agreed with. She said that with that much fat removal, I have to give the skin time to retract. So basically she was telling me that I still have swelling and loose skin which is why my waist doesn't look as small. I'm inclined to believe her because she told me that she got lipo in March and was freaking out similar to me. She is now 6 months post and now she loves the way she looks. After further examining the spots that bothered me the most, they do look like loose skin and not fat. She was confident that my surgeon got all the fat out (all being a loose term). I'm going to keep going hard with my compression garment, foams, ab board and waist trainer. I'm going to continue to massage myself with coconut oil. I'm also going to clean up my diet and start working out. Hopefully, by the time I'm 6 months post op in January, my waist will be snatched and my butt will still be juicy. I'm going to calm down and cease fire for now. I will post updated pics some time this week. Updated on 18 Sep 2017: Updated on 22 Sep 2017: These comparison pics have put a lot into perspective. I think those of us who get lipo/bbls tend to forget where we started especially if our BMIs were on the higher end pre-op. Speaking for myself, I have really been rushing the process. I did these comparison pics to show myself how much better I look even with swelling and loose skin. I will only start to look better as I approach 3 months post and beyond. I’m starting to notice that my swelling is less than 2 weeks ago. With someone who had as much body fat as I did before, I should have expected there to be some loose skin after. I assumed that since I was young with no pregnancies that my skin would snap back quickly. It’s taking my skin some time but I think by 6 months the loose skin will be gone and I will have the waistline that I wanted. I want to lose about 10-15 more pounds but I’m nervous my butt won’t be a juicy as it is now. I’m loving the shape and the size. Although of course I would have liked it to be a bit bigger, I love how I look in my clothes now. I’ve been getting compliments and I feel good. The only thing bothering me that I haven’t really mentioned is my right hip. My left hip looks perfect. Pre surgery, I had hip dents on both sides with the right side being more indented. My left hip turned out great. The right hip looks even more indented than before. I’ll post pictures later that show the difference in the hips. For now here are my comparison pics. Updated on 26 Sep 2017: A couple of days ago, I was looking at myself in the mirror and I noticed that my booty looked juicier than usual. I asked my mom and she didn’t notice anything. I pulled out my handy tape measure and lo and behold my but was bigger by 3/4 inches. That may not seem like a lot but if you look at my comparison pics, there is only a 1 inch difference but my butt looks way bigger. I haven’t put on any weight in the past week so I’m wondering if this is the fluffing period that so many RS ladies rave about. Im thrilled with the booty gains. Im almost back up to 44 inches which is where I was at 1 week post op. For some reason, it won’t let me post my picture on the surgery table post op. I’ll try to post it later. Updated on 5 Oct 2017: So last time I shared that I thought the fluff fairy came to deliver me a bigger booty. It had not. I got on the scale and realized that I had put on 4 pounds. My butt was bigger by almost an inch but my waist was the same which is a good thing. I ended up losing that 4 pounds and an additional 3.5 in a week (my church is on a 21 day fast). My butt is back to normal at 43 inches. I must say that I am shocked that my skin is taking so long to retract. It’s still very pliable almost like clay. My back still swells quite a bit in the middle so it tightens up there. Slowly but surely my stubborn lumps are softening thank God. What is kind of disturbing is that my right hip has been hurting in one small spot for at least a couple of weeks. There are also several small lumps on that side. None on the left. It should be completely soft by now. My left side has been soft for like 2 months now. I will post updated pictures if anyone wants to see them. Updated on 8 Oct 2017: Updated on 12 Oct 2017: I have a bunch of different feelings at this point. A) I feel like my body looks much better than it did pre-op. I’m definitely more confident because of it. B) I have way more loose skin than I expected. Pretty much my entire waist and back has loose skin as you can see in the pictures. It’s preventing my waist from looking as small as it should. I know I still have about 3 more months of recovery but I can’t help but feel a tad bit discouraged. C) I have some fibrosis in my lipod areas. I don’t know how it happened since I was really good about wearing my garment every day and getting my very expensive massages. It’s not a whole lot but I can definitely still feel the hard spots. I still go 1-2 times a month to get massages. My massage therapist uses radio frequency and cavitation on me now. My hope is that it will get rid of the fibrosis and help my skin fully retract. I spent so much money on this procedure and recovery. I want to feel like I got my money’s worth. I was reading a review on here and someone made a good point. They said don’t choose a doctor just because he or she is cheaper. If you do, most likely you will have to get more than one round. I feel like I should have done more research and gone with a different surgeon/facility. D) My right hip still has a dent. It’s not totally obvious but getting my hip dents filled in was one of my requests. It has been dented since day 1. I thought that maybe as my hips softened it would fill in. It has to a certain extent but it’s still quite different from the left. E) Of course I wish my booty was bigger. Everyone who gets a bbl gets booty greed. I think my booty looks great but the more weight I lose the smaller it gets of course. By January, I will decide if I’m going to get a round 2 and I will start saving for it. It will really depend on how small my waist is by then. The snatched waist is what I wanted more than anything. I know for sure that I have seen women my size or larger come out of Surgery with waists smaller than mine. It doesn’t make any sense. What pisses me off the most is that I can’t talk to my doctor. All I want to ask him is why he only took out 2800 CCs when Florida max is 4000. There may be a good reason why. I just want to know to ease my own mind. I’m definitely done with Jolie. There are individual people who were great to work with. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend them. There’s too much jumping through hoops for information. I just can’t with them. In the future, I would like to go somewhere where I can have a thorough consultation. I want to be able to discuss expectations in detail. I want to actually be able to communicate with the doctor prior to surgery and throughout recovery. I feel like I jumped the gun with choosing my surgeon/ facility. Not that he doesn’t do a good job. I just needed someone who could give me what I wanted. I was definitely a bigger girl who needed more work. Maybe my expectations were unrealistic but I needed that communicated to me and I have seen women my size and shape come off the table looking fantastic and looking exceptional weeks later. I probably should have lost more weight beforehand but I was told not to. Despite all of this, I don’t feel my money was completely wasted because I have way more clothing options than I did before. I just may possibly need a round 2 to get the results I expected: a snatched waist, a pinch more hips, and a rounder butt with more projection. I need to find some money! Blinski or Balgobin??? Updated on 18 Oct 2017: Recovery is such an emotional roller coaster. One minute you love the way you look and the next you're discouraged. This week has been better. Miraculously, it seems like my right hip is filling in more. I have about 4 firm spots left in the hip but as it softens the dent becomes smaller. Wearing the waist trainer consistently has yielded good results in my waistline. They weren't lying when they said recovery take a full 6 months. Obviously I'm still swelling at 3.5 months Post. As long a there is still swelling I can be comfortable knowing it's not excessive fat left over. Still working on the bit of fibrosis that I have and the crease on my right side that I've had since 2 weeks post. My booty isn't that much smaller than surgery day. It's looking good these days. I'm happy with it. As far as loose skin goes, I've been getting the massages and wearing my waist trainer. Is there anything else I can do? Any creams or oils work for you after lipo? Updated on 29 Oct 2017: Hey guys. I know I probably seem like the most up and down person in the world. One day, I'm happy with my results and the next day I want a round 2. In actuality, it's very normal to be on an emotional rollercoaster during the recovery period. I'm 15 weeks post op, almost 4 months. At this point, the only thing stopping me from going a second round is money. I know that it takes 6 months to see final results but at this point I don't think my waist is going to get much smaller. I'll be 6 months post op in January. Here's my plan, first I want to lose about 15 pounds by the beginning of the year. Whether I decide to get a round 2 or not, I still need to lose weight to slim my arms and my face/chin. After I lose the 15 pounds, I will make a final decision on my round 2. These are the factors I'm considering: a) upon losing 15 pounds, it's very possible that my butt will be much smaller and I already wish it was bigger. b) upon losing 15 pounds, it's very possible that I can lose my boobs which is why I'm considering a BA. They're nice now but I do want to go up a cup size and losing weight will make them even smaller. c) I want a bit more hips. Quite possibly, I could lose the 15 pounds and be completely satisfied with my waist to hip ratio, boob size, and butt size. In that case, no further procedures are needed until after I have kids. My thing is, because I already want bigger boobs, hips, and butt with my current weight, I will probably need a round 2. I will give it the full 6 months to consider though. Where am I considering going for my round 2? Of course, there is the great debate between staying in the US and going abroad. I was one that said that I would never go abroad but lately I've been doing a ton of research and there are pros and cons with both. Staying in the US, obviously there are stricter regulations. It is assumed that the standards are higher. I speak the language here. However, there are deaths and disfigurements here as well. Going to Colombia, most likely you will come back snatched to the gawds. My main thing is that I want to knock out my boobs and bbl in one round and not have to do a third. Colombia gives you the most bang for your buck with combined procedures and I'm more likely to get the look that I'm going for. The cons of course are being in a foreign country far from home and not speaking the language. A lot of people have concerns about the skill and ethics level of surgeons abroad. I've read a lot about the cleanliness of facilities in the DR (which is why it's not on my list). I hear more stories about lipo burns and waking up during surgery from people who have gone abroad versus those that have stayed here. With that said, I haven't seen any stories like that from people who have gone to Colombia. Most of those stories came from the DR. At the end of the day, you gotta weigh the risks with the rewards and do extensive research on the surgeon, their facility, and their credentials. The recovery houses in Colombia also seem better quality with better prices. I'm leaning more toward Colombia based on the reviews that I have read but there is still some fear there. Who am I considering? As far as the US, I've been looking at Dr. BBL (Balgobin) and Dr. Fix It (Blinski). Both provide EXCELLENT bbl results. The waists are snatched and the booties are luscious. The thing is, Balgobin does not to breast implants, only fat transfer. Blinski doesn't have very many BA photos up. The other thing is that both of them charge about 9 racks for lipo and bbl. I don't knock it at all. They do a fantastic job and have great reviews. I just want to keep my options open. As far as Colombia, I'm considering Plazas and Villalobos. Plazas dolls come out slaying! Hips are perfect. Butts are beautiful. Boobs are decent. Waists are non existent. Same thing for Villalobos. Both are board certified and give great results. Pricing is fantastic for what you get of course because it's in Colombia. I looked into Paris Recovery Resort and it looks amazing. Great price for all the amenities. They have a nurses station, spa, juice bar, etc. All in all, I have a lot to consider. Wherever I decide to go, I have to have money to do it. I just spent about 10 racks in July on surgery and surgery-related items. I would have to see how I could finesse it with my current financial situation (my student loan payments will start between next September and next December which will be over $1,000 a month altogether :/). I am in the process of starting a business so I very well could (and plan to) have the money by the time I make a decision and book a date. Then, I need to decide if getting a round 2 is worth it. Cosmetic surgery is never a necessity but all of us have an ideal look. Right now, I am thankful that I have such improvement from where I was. HOWEVER, I'm still sucking my stomach in because it's not flat. My back rolls are much improved but I want more lipo done on my whole back.I don't have the silhouette that I was looking for as far as my waist to hip ratio. And I want my butt and boobs a pinch bigger. I knew that there was a chance that I would need a round 2 based on where I started and me not knowing a whole lot about my doctor. It was a chance I took, and although I have no regrets, I do want better results. Everyone thinks I look great, and I do. I definitely have a boost in confidence but there's a certain look that I want to achieve to be ultimately satisfied. I have a lot to think about so for now I'm going to focus on losing these 15 pounds. I'm currently 5'3" 168 pounds and want to get down to 150-155. I'll keep posting pics throughout my weight loss journey. Updated on 25 Dec 2017: On Thursday I will be 6 Months Post op. This is supposed to be the magic point where you see your final results. Overall, I give my results a 7.9 out of 10. I am happy with the size of my hips. I am happy with the shape of my butt. It’s a decent size. My body definitely looks very natural. No one suspected that I had any work done. My lower back looks great. He really carved out a nice curve there. There is much improvement to my overall shape which is why I give it a 7.9. I can’t give it an 8 or higher due to the amount of fat left. If you’ve read my previous posts, you know that my doctor only took 2800 CCs out of a max of 4000. I have no idea why. There is leftover fat in my upper and lower abdomen and also in my upper back. My expectations were that my waist would be smaller by at least 5 inches. After 6 months, I am down 2 inches which is disappointing. I still have bra roll fat and fat on my flanks. With that said, I am preparing for a round 2 next year. Who I go with and when I go largely depends on my funds. There are 3 people I’m interested in for different reasons. If my funds aren’t ideal, Llorente will be my guy. His results are EXCELLENT for the price. I believe he charges around 5K and he’s in Miami. If my funds are where I expect, it will come down to Dr. BBL in Minneapolis or Dr. Blinski in Miami. Both get EXCELLENT results but both are pricey. Dr. BBL has a J Plasma option that literally tightens your skin on the table. Dr. Blinski seems to have more experience with revisions and fibrosis. Both would cost me more than 10K which won’t be a problem if I have the money. In the meantime, I’ll be working with a trainer at the top of the year. I need to lose weight overall before I go. About 15-20 pounds is my goal. I also plan to use this time to get my hemoglobin up as high as possible but April. That is ideally when I would like to have my round 2. It’s still up in the air. I’m not 100% sure I’m going to do it. If I do, I will start a new review. Here are some pics from yesterday with my faja on. This is my ideal shape post op with some minor tweaks. My hips are a tad uneven but I like the shape. Of course a smaller waist and a pinch more booty volume. Updated on 27 Jan 2018: It’s been 7 whole months since my BBL and I’m feeling pretty good about my body. The fluff fairy is real and she did come to visit me this time. My booty is a lot juicier than a couple months ago and I’ve kept my weight down. I managed to keep a lot of the fat grafts to my hips. I slay in Fashion Nova jeans lol. Now on to the bad...fibrosis. I realize now why my waist isn’t as small as it should be. I have fibrosis on my upper abdomen and my flanks. It causes my stomach to protrude. I also still have a bit of swelling. I got the post op massages like I was supposed to however I think that not only did I have an ill fitting second stage Faja, I also didn’t wear it long enough. I actually should still be wearing it but it’s so annoying. My ideal plan would be to go back and get 2 massages a week and get a higher quality Faja. Since that’s not feasible for my current budget, I’m going to try self massaging and going back to faja and lipo foams or waist trainer. I’ve got to get my waist together before the summer. My ultimate plan would be a round 2 and have the fibrosis treated in Miami. Since I’m prioritizing my money better this year, round 2 isn’t at the top of my list. Once my budget permits, I’ve decided on Dr. Blinski. Can’t beat his amount of experience and his results are impeccable. Well worth the price. I’m going to try my best to find my handheld massager and see what results I get. Wish me luck! Updated on 10 Apr 2018: It's been 9 months. Plenty of time to see my final results. Before I go out seeking a round 2 elsewhere, I think it's fair that I call Jolie and let them know my concerns and disappointments. My abdomen is uneven and has indentations. There wasn't nearly enough fat taken out to get a "snatched" look as I was told I would receive when I submitted my photos for my consultation. I'm going to call them and send my most recent pictures over and see if something can be done about this. I understand that no surgery is perfect but I believe I am owed better results than this. Even after a few months, I called and expressed my concerns about my waist. I was told that by 6 months, I would have my desired results. It turns out that my concerns weren't swelling. It was a huge amount of leftover fat and my right side is significantly "fatter" than the left. You can look at the pics in my last post and see the issues. It's not right. Hopefully, they'll offer me a revision and I can get this fixed. I just want what I paid for.
Yes I had surgery on 22 February with Dr. Jarial and he is an amazing person he takes his time and explains to you everything makes you feel really comfortable and then when the surgery is over he also takes the time to make sure you're OK and to follow up days after I would say go to him for if you want results and just the good experience with him
I wanted a curvier body as I've always been thin and very self conscious about it. Dr. Jarial was realistic with me when discussing my potential results which I really appreciated. The staff was great. They were patient with me and very attentive after the surgery. They called to check up on me every single day. I am still not 100% recovered, but I love the results! I apologize for not posting any pictures but I'm no longer the stick figure I've always been and I get compliments on my figure on a daily! I'm so excited that this isn't even the final result and I'm already this pleased with it.
Greetings. There are some different options for pain management after breast augmentation. The use of Tylenol could be an option vs the use of something stronger. Your surgeon should be able to give you some treatment options. Good luck!
Greetings. You could undergo liposuction with a waiting period between your procedures for safety.The best option would be to talk with a plastic surgeon to discuss you options and to see what can be safely performed. Good luck!
Greetings. In general, nipple piercings should not affect healing. Your surgeon would probably advise you to keep the piercings out for a certain period of time. If you have concerns, you should see your plastic surgeon in advance of the surgery and discuss/show the concerns with him/her. There is no harm in delaying the procedure if there is any issue. Best wishes.
Greetings. If there are no preoperative medical issue, then a BBL procedure could be safely performed in theory. A medical clearance would probably be requested from your primary physician. A consultation with a plastic surgeon in your area would help give you some direction to see if the procedure is safe for you. Good luck!
Greetings. A BMI of 44 is a high number and there is a increased risk of complications. Every surgeon has his/her thrsshold for maximum BMI level. Some surgeons may operate with a maximum BMI of 30-35. You could also ask your primary physician for some recommendations on weight loss. Best wishes.
