I started really considering plastic surgery at...

I started really considering plastic surgery at the age of 25 because of the weight I gained dramatically in my abdominal and upper body area. I regularly hit up the gym daily and was able to lose the weight but in the process, I lost my curves. I hit an obstacle in my life where on one hand; I could lose the weight gained but settle for a stick figure body or keep my curves but subject myself to an unhealthy, pre-diabetic top heavy figure. That’s when I decided to do further research for cosmetic procedures to enhance my body to the way I want it! At first, I thought liposuction was the best method and while almost every plastic surgeon conducts this procedure, I still researched for the best and most experienced. That is when I came across what is called the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), which is quite popular, all natural and noninvasive as other cosmetic surgeries. The BBL is a cosmetic surgery that incorporates the fat from areas on your body that you wish to remove, processed and filtered then reapplied to your buttocks areas and hips for the hour glass figure and flat stomach. The BBL was not only by far the best decision I made to change my physical appearance, but it also changed my health. When a person is top heavy, they are more prone to respiratory disease and heart disease. The removal of my fat to my buttocks not only helped my health but it increased my confidence at 100%. I can now wear sexy dresses and out fits daily that I never imagined before, I look amazing in bikinis and my significant other is in love with my body, he just can’t keep his hands off. ? I’m currently one month post-opt and what I loved the most about the outcome process is my butt looks 100% natural. I was afraid at first that it would be left like a rock solid bottom but no, it came out exactly how I anticipated. My butt is perky, bubbly, just the right amount of jiggle and not to mention my hips came out like a little Kim Kardashian figure, something I never had before and always envied. The BBL really changed my life in the little amount of time that has passed thus far from the surgery date. I highly recommend this cosmetic procedure to anyone and everyone. If you want an all-natural procedure done so where no foreign objects are placed into your body and the removal of fat is liposuction from places on your body in conjunction, then the BBL is the procedure for you. The BBL is in itself a work of genius art and the best invention a plastic surgeon could ever have invented. With that being said, it is vital that you research and chose a professional, well experienced, board certified plastic surgeon because the BBL is a work of art and you only want the best artist and the best for your body. As far as the recovery goes, plan ahead and keep in mind that you will be instructed to lie on your stomach for the first 2 weeks. Little to no exercise or rigorous activity should be implemented and if you have small children, arrange ahead for help as you will need this. The recovery is one of the most painful experiences I had to deal with yet, but I always say if you can get passed the first 3-4 days, you can handle anything. You going to feel very dehydrated so it’s so important that you constantly drink water 8oz every 4-6 hours, Gatorade or orange juice. You’re going to leak secretions and fluid as this is normal for the first 4 days so keep towels or extra garments handy. It’s important to walk everyday around your house so blood flow is active and avoid eating solids for the first couple days. It’s normal for your body to feel unable to use the bathroom so try to have a stool softener ready for constipation issues and most importantly, have something to do to buy time like movies, games, books etc….
After about 3 weeks, your body will feel normal again and your butt should have healed enough to the point that swelling decreased significantly and the soft, natural feel is in place. What I love the most about the BBL is how curvaceous, voluptuous and semi-jiggly my bum bum feels. It looks so natural on my petite figure and I turn heads EVERYWHERE! Everyone asked me what have I done, my body looks perfect, I get so many compliments and a lot of guys hit on me. If I have to describe my results in a nut shell, it would be a combination of a Vida Guerra butt and Kim Kardashian hips. I hope this review helped influence your decision and prepare you for the Dr. you should go with as remember, the BBL is a work of art and you want to choose the best artist for your body because your body deserves the best results.

I chose Dr. Salzhauer oppose to other plastic surgeons in Miami because of his excellent reviews on realself.com, professional staff, convincing before/after pictures on his’ website portfolio, flexible office visits, Dr. awards, board certified, patient satisfaction and first impression. Since the first day I met Dr. Salzhauer he had a very welcoming persona, he’s down to earth but focused, relatable, humble, assertive, intelligent and extremely creative with his knowledge and sculptures of the body and face. He makes you feel already confident before the surgery happens because of the critique he advises and solid plan to sculpt your body to exactly what you desire. He mastered the art of the BBL among all other plastic surgery procedures. He is dedicated to providing you the exact furnished buttocks you have always desired. He’ll explain to you the exact areas where liposuction will be conducted and suggest different butt shapes that would resemble your body ratio proportion. He was voted best plastic surgery Dr in Miami for a reason, his website testimonies and realself.com vouch for his expertise, and he’s young, energized, professional, and diligent. His entire staff resembles his work of art with beautiful bodies, professional customer service and prompt turnaround time. His office is decorated to this modern classy beautiful furnished look and located in the heart of Bal Harbor, a tourist’s paradise! Most importantly, Dr. Salzhauer from the first day explains that a BBL is a work of art and the process takes about 3-4 hours to perfect. When it comes to your body, you always want to choose the best and invest in a Dr. whom masters the art of the cosmetic procedure you want and has hundreds or thousands of pictures to show for. You never want to settle for these bargain prices incorporated by these cosmetics factory like facilities where the cosmetic procedure is done in half the time or half assed done under local anesthesia. Your body is your legacy and how you feel inside and carry yourself. Just like any other surgery, you want the best Dr to perform on your body. After all, you wouldn’t trust just anyone with your money; just like a Dr., you wouldn’t want to trust just anyone with your body. I would like to include in addition, that along with Dr. Salzhauer’s amazing expertise and the amazing experience I had, his’ prices are fair and reasonable, his office offers alternative financial options to those who qualify, and there are numerous hotels in the area if you’re traveling from far or out of state. His’ office is incorporated with 4 floors which keeps the practice very organized. The nurses are all attentive and patient which puts you at ease before and after the surgery. You will love Dr. Salzhauer and your results, there’s no other better plastic surgeon in south Florida than him. I will defiantly recommend Dr. Salzhauer to anyone and everyone set forth, not to mention future cosmetic procedures that I am already planning with his patient coordinators. You will love him from day 1!
