I had a consult with Dr. Hazani yesterday, I too felt rushed but now I'm seeing a pattern here as I see it's not uncommon. Dr. Hazani was my fourth meeting in the area. I've met with Sej Patel, Kenneth Hughes and William Bruno. Dr. Bruno has been my favorite so far, he is board certified and Marisol and the rest of his staff are very accommodating. He has some nice high tech features in his office that will really sell you on getting any type of plastic surgery LOL! He took the time to meet with me and explain what was realistic and what wasn’t. I am a 27 y/o female, 5’5 averaging about 170 lbs, single with no children. I have some skin laxity after losing/gaining weight in my teens and early 20’s that wasn’t a concern until I started meeting with PS. Most explained to me to achieve the PERFECT aesthetic adding a TT could give me that flat stomach everyone longs for but they were also very understanding of the point I’m currently at in my adult life. My one turn off about Dr. Bruno was his concern for creating the perfect figure and heavily advocating for the TT, I understand that I would be a walking advertisement of his work if I chose to go with him however I am not trying to be a living Barbie. Dr. Hughes was nice but our meeting was mediocre. Dr. Patel was friendly and funny but man his prices are outrageous! Mind you, I met with him in August of 2014 almost two years ago. Now back to Dr. Hazani he is the most affordable of all. The fact that he had an office within a shared work environment suite concerned me a bit as it didn’t seem professional to me. However, there could be reasons why they are housed there for now that are beyond my knowledge so I’m trying to ignore that. He was soft-spoken and friendly barely took a look at my body and let me take lead of the convo. I don’t think he understood that I wanted lipo to be our main point of focus versus achieving a big ‘ol booty. I already naturally have a butt it just needs a little bit of tweaking to perfect or at least I’d like to think so. He did a friend’s BBL back in late December and she looks AMAZZZZINGGGG so I’m trying to not let the rushed consult deter me from him. Anybody have any words they’d like to chime in?

I had bbl with Hazani Feb 5 and my butt looks great, however there was communication issues (I guess?) and since he decided I would be getting a tt (huh?) he didn't lipo my abdomen. I have a detailed review. Good luck!

I'll be 5 weeks tomorrow, I am back to most activities except strength training and cardio, sleeping and sitting normally :/ Booty is definately softer, still big, matter of fact when I showed my daughter this weekend her mouth fell open lol. Still have back swelling, hardness around ribs and tummy. Feel real close to normal and clothes look so much better. HATE my big stomach, but oh well, it's done. After I heal completely I might check into vaser lipo for my stomach. Maybe. Who knows. If I have to get a tt I have considered Miami. And a mommy makeover, hey why not lol

Have you heard of Sculpsure, it's a new non-invasive technique that's FDA approved. It kills the fat cells and helps tighten the skin at the same time.

I've just recently heard of that, here on rs. Sounds interesting. It's just some of these 'noninvasive' treatments can be in the thousands of $$, and sometimes with little to show for it. Prob need to to heal for 4-6 months anyway, so plenty of time to weigh my options...

Hi BootyHopeful! I actually have you bookmarked and have been following you story so I'm excited you replied! Lol. How did your consultation with Hazani go? I was hoping I would fall in love with him after all these amazing reviews I've read and knowing a girl that went with him but his office seemed so unprofessional. I'm worried he's getting so popular that he's just churning out patient like some sort of factory! I really loved my consult with Dr. Bruno, but he seems a little conservative. Ugh. Idk what to do.

Oh that's so cool:) I am following your journey! My consult was pretty straight forward he took a look and told me what I can expect from Sx and pretty much he actually said he could do more than what I thought would be possible with my body & pointed out everything I wanted before I said a word! It was quick I just undressed to my panties & lifted my shirt, maybe 10 minutes but I got all I needed to know. The office does get busy & at times it is difficult getting a hold of Debbie however if she didn't respond to my email that day I'd just give her a call and she would handle whatever I needed. Also, in person she went above & beyond always making me coffee or getting me water and asking how I'm feeling or if I am ok. Dr Hazani always responded to my emails or text promptly however no matter how stupid my question was lol Debbie always accommodated me & was able to squeeze me in on Sunday's (since I work m-f) even if it was last minute. Ya it's odd that the appts are in an office but it didn't bother me at all because in his drawers he had all the necessary medical stuff needed to even aspirate my seromas. For me what was most important was 1) safety & health 2) results 3)quality of care for the patient and I feel I got all 3! With my last dr they had a nicer traditional office & there were no communication issues with the office staff however though they were safe & my health was not compromised...they did not produce results & they did not care about their patients. He left me deformed & wouldn't even bother fixing it if I paid!! And I paid more for that bbl than my bbl with Hazani too! So you really just have to see what is important to you & consult with the dr to see if you're on the same page:)

Oh and btw though they may be super busy at appts it is not like that during Sx...he only does 2 a day which I think is great! My last dr did more which left me feeling like the lack of time was what may have led to a sloppy bbl.

Thanks for your quick response! May I ask what you do for work? I'm concerned about returning to work and being sedentary all day! My ass hurts sitting down all the time as is, I can't imagine after lol. I have a typical office job with a M-F schedule as well.
User Avatar
March 10, 2016
No problem anytime:) I work in an office too sitting at a desk all day!!!! I know the feeling I hate it too I always try to get up and walk for a minute (even aside from when I've had sx). I am 4 wkd post and even with my BBL pillow on top of another pillow it is still uncomfortable to sit:/ I alternate between kneeling on my pillow, squatting, standing and sitting lol If possible I would get a standup desk at your work....I asked and mine would not let me because they said there are legal building regulations and what not -__-

Really?! I can't believe they said that! I wonder if it's true?! I've been looking into some converting stands I'll link you to some I find to see if maybe they'll allow you to use one. How much time did you wait before going back to work?

March 12, 2016
Hey girl! I'm so close to picking my doctor! I have my LOA from work approved so now it comes down to just making the decision and paying the deposit. May I ask what areas of your body he lipoed?
User Avatar
March 12, 2016
Sorry I didn't see this!!! Ya I'm sure it's not the whole truth & they could if they wanted to!! I was scheduled to go bsck at 8 days but I couldn't do it so I waited until day 9 and had to force myself:/ my first bbl I was fine at about day 5 n I was bored at home for another 5 days lol so I took less time this time...didn't think it would be so much harder lol

I have surgery in 8 days with him! I felt that too.. also after you have an in person consult, you dont get a pre-op appointment until the day you go in for surgery so make sure to email all your questions you have about pre-op because I felt a little lost this week!

I've decided on going with Hazani

So I decided to proceed on selecting Dr. Hazani to do my bbl. I love the attention and customer service that Bruno and his staff provide however there are so few self reviews by prior patients that it made second guess everything. I like that he purifies the fat before re-injecting it to provide minimal bruising and swelling but I feel like he just might be TOO conservative with the lipo for my taste. I don't want to pay 10 grand to end up looking the same I do now in three years. My surgery date with Hazani is scheduled for May 19th. Eek!!! Here are some wish pics. I know most of these girls are fitness models so Im hoping for more of that look than big ol donkey booty! Totally not my style. Idk if I'm being too unrealistic lol.

Just remember, shrinkage! Everyone looks huge at first, from swelling and over injection of fat because you will lose 30 up to even 50% of the fat transferred. So allow for that and don't freak lol. Plan your wardrobe accordingly for like the first 6 weeks, it's kind of hard to hide till then. Anything but subtle lol. But if it's not too big at first it's prob not enough to even make a difference. Hope that made sense? Good Luck!

Ugh. Chickening Out. Am I making the right choice??? BBL Vets did any of you have this feeling?

User Avatar

I woke up today asking myself if I'm making the right decision. I started feeling like perhaps getting a BBL is a very selfish decision of me. I am young and healthy and have infinite resources to work out harder and eat better at my disposable. If only I had that extra push to stop being so damn lazy. I workout at least 2-3x a week but I know I am not pushing myself to the extreme limit. Am I taking the easy way out? Yes, I realize 100% perfection will not be achieved by having surgery done, but I have a little feeling of guilt that I am cheating my way out. Has anyone ever felt like this before? I am not doing this for anybody but myself and when people ask me why I’m doing this I state exactly that. I am one week out from surgery and everything is set in place but I don’t know I guess I am feeling anxious.

Do what's best for you! The worst part is altering your lifestyle a bit after surgery but I don't regret it all boo! I honestly can't even remember my old body.

Thank you!! For the most part that is what I have read, us uncomfortable but worth it. Happy you're happy!
