chantelbee1
I was thinking about a bbl taking fat from my love handles , flanks, abdomen also when I consult with a doctor he said he can also give me a small waist , I heard from a friend that had a bbl done she said that to get her waist small the doctor broke off some of her ribs . Is that true it so how dangerous is that for your long term health
