I went to my first BBL consultation today to meet with Dr. Carmen DiMario who wasn't available because he was doing surgeries. My appointment was scheduled for 12:30. I arrived a few minutes early, completed a few forms and was called to the back by 12:36. I met with a very nice lady named Janet. She had me stand in the mirror, lift up my shirt, and pull my pants down just under my stomach. She told me to tell what it is about my stomach I don't like. In my mind I'm thinking "you don't see this ht mess in front of you". Anyway, next she told me to turn around so that she could see my butt. I swear she said something along the lines of 2000 CC's but I could be wrong. If so, my butt must be jacked up. Lastly she encouraged me to lose 20lbs for best results which she offered to help with at no extra charge after a $500 deposit (to secure date). I did have money to put down today but Janet said she preferred I speak to the Dr first before coughing up any money. She seemed genuinely nice. My only problem was the patients who were there I am assuming for massages. Seeing them would likely give someone a change of heart. They looked like they were in excruciating pain and the drains hanging out didn't help either. My next appt to meet with the Dr. is on the 13th. I will keep you guys posted.

Hi, I am from Philly and contemplated going to DiMario. His work is good but not outstanding IMO. He isnt board certified either.. He's an ENT not a plastic surgeon. AGAIN, his work is good and def delivers results but not good enough for me to drop 6-7k. I ended up going with Dr. DelVecchio from NYC. He is amazing and does high volume lipo, the most they can take out in an office setting is 4 liters, which if you are chunky, isn't going to make much of a difference. Dr. D operates in a hospital which allows him to really suck it all out! lol..NOW what i do like about DiMario is the post op care that is included. I don't like that Janet is the person you see most often instead of Dr. DiMario. I also don't like that they make you wait like 2 months for your post op with him. If you have an issue the massage girls handle it or Janet does..I don't like that at all. Anyway if you have a good shape to begin with you will look awesome. I am spongebob all the way. I need hips and a big ole butt, wish I could've found a doctor closer to home..sigh. Anyway best of luck and be sure to post tons of pics!! xoxox

On Monday, July 13 I finally met the mystery man himself. While waiting in the office I did see a lot of nice backsides and got really excited about what he could possibly do for me. I filled out a ton of papers that required my initials which I thought was kind of strange. Come to find out later they told Dr. DiMario I was there for pre-op. How funny was that when I'm not looking to have surgery until next year in March. Anyway, Dr. Dimario is really nice, mild mannered, and friendly. He asked me questions about my health and took a look at this old wrinkled body of mine. He pretty much told me what Janet told me the week before. In order to get the best results I need to lose weight. Dr. DiMario went a little more in depth to tell me that he could do the surgery at my current weight but it may require a follow up surgery because they can only remove so much fat at one time. I respected him for that bit of info because he could have just as easily let me stay my current weight and made money off of two surgeries. I'm so motivated to drop these pounds and have my BBL and lipo next year in March. I also asked if he could lipo my arms. He said yes if he could get to it in time but they wouldn't look significantly different. He said he would have another surgeon take a look at them for a second opinion. Again, I respect him for that because he doesn't seem to see just $$$$. Any, I'm pretty much at a stand still until January 2016. I take my deposit on Monday to secure my date, otherwise I'm just waiting and working out.

BBL/TT/BA Do Over

So much has happened since I was here last I don't even know where to begin. For starters, my BBL surgery with Dr. Dimario in PA never happened and I didn't receive a refund on my downpayment which I wasn't at all upset about. Long story short I had to cancel my BBL appointment scheduled for February 2017 due to sciatica. I was in excruciating pain from approximately August 2016 until my microdiscectomy surgery which just took place August 29, 2017. Let me just tell you how I don't wish sciatica on anyone. I ended up needing the surgery due to a very bad disc bulge. I couldn't sit, walk, stand or drive without pain for nearly a year. Nevertheless, I had surgery a month ago and I am doing much better and ready to start the process again. Even crazier is that I have moved from PA to GA last month so I need to find a new plastic surgeon. I have appointments scheduled with Dr. Baron 10/4, Dr. Jimerson 10/11, and Dr. Celestin 10/6. Initially I was just going to get the BBL via fat transfer but now I want a tummy tuck and breast augmentation. I had a breast reduction in 2013 but my breast can be a little fuller in my opinion plus I don't like the placement of my left nipple. It's always poking out of my bra. Not sure what they can do about that but I am hopeful. That's all for now but I will keep you posted after my consultations.
