How do I start the process of getting a BBL? Do I find a doctor first and talk to them? Where can I get a loan for the surgery ?

You can search on the ASPS (American Society of Plastic Surgeons) website for board certified plastic surgeons in your area. Look for many before and after photos and patient reviews of the procedure you are looking for (Brazilian buttock lift). I recommend meeting with at least three different surgeons. There are numerous companies that offer financing for plastic surgery, CareCredit and Prosper are two well known companies to research.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno

Find your doctor first.  The key is to find a board certified plastic surgeon who has performed
this thousands of times and has many reviews and before and after

Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us.I usually tell my patients that the first step for a safe plastic surgery is to choose a board certified aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgeon.This should have a personal website containing details of his professional biography and some photos of the procedures performed.Your plastic surgeon should be transparent and a honest person with you, with ethical and human values, and especially with good reputation and history. Also, it's much better if this doctor have special training and experience in procedures like the one you're interested.Finally, i invite you to send your photos to give you more information of interest for you.Kind regards, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Thank you for your question. I would recommended to schedule a consultation as your first step. At the time of the consultation your candidacy will be determined and you can learn more about the procedure and decide if it's right for you. Most offices including our practice offer financing options.Dr. Leonard Lu

It is a good idea to look for someone in your area. You can look on the ASAPS or ASPS website.  In terms of financing, many doctor's offices can suggest finance companies for you.  Best of luck.

The first step is to find the Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who you can communicate with and feel comfortable with the experience and the plan of surgery and follow up. The office will discuss with you the cost and if you need help with financing they can help you with that too.You can research and apply for credit with companies likecarecredit.comprosper.com
