I started the process by booking a consultation at Bal Harbor Plastic Surgery. The consultation was scheduled for February of 2016 because Dr. Miami is so booked up. I knew that I wanted him to do the procedure and didn’t feel the need to shop around so the following week I put down a deposit. A friend and I are going to do this together so we booked at the same time. Shortly after we were contacted by Jovanna the Patient Coordinator who was very attentive and friendly. We were told to send in pictures for the doctor to review and she will send corresponding paperwork and a quote.

Jovanna told me that how it works is that we pick a month that we want the procedure and she will notify us at least three weeks before. We should have the month available to leave work for a couple of week and because we are flying to Miami we should have travel arrangements set for that month.

No, it will be all at once. That's why I decided to share my story in the first place. I began reading about how excruciating the pain and recovery process is and I had already booked the procedure so I got very scared and started thinking I should break it up into 2 procedures. I began asking myself constant questions: How am I going to lay down? Or rest? What if it’s too much? I won’t be able to move. However, as I continue to read I’m finding it helpful to see how many women come out just fine and what causes women to actually get sick or have complications. There are a lot of good strategies out there to help with the recovery so I’m taking note and making a list. I’m staying with my original plan MM & BBL. I figure the recovery will be like a caterpillar as it cocoons into a butterfly. I’ll me MIA for about 3 weeks in pain and feeling disgusting but when I emerge I’ll be a brand new happy me. Well, that’s the hope!

Brazilian Butt Lift: The process of fat grafting. Basically taking fat from other areas of your body and placing it in your behind so you have a nice round apple shaped toosh. No implants.

Awesome! I know you're excited.
When you booked, did you have the option to have the surgery sooner or was that the absolute soonest they could fit you in?

Do you have your wish pics ready? LOL

No wish pictures; I don't want to have expectations. I just want to be a better me, although I do want nice side boob, under boob, boob projection…all together nice boobs. As for surgery time frame I think she said I could schedule from September 2016 forward.

after getting my lips done I realized the importance of having a picture of what you would like to achieve so I've been looking around for general ideas.
