Scheduled my consultation yesterday!! Can't wait. Spoke with Nayelli (<<< I think I totally bombed the spelling of her name... sorry). She was so sweet and helpful. Called again this morning because I was reading about the variation in pricing over the past few months. Spoke with Debbie this time and she was also very helpful and sweet. Although, she did tell me she wasn't able to disclose pricing at this time and only after having my consult would they give me the price. I'm super nervous because I didn't want to have to pay more than 8k and I'm thinking it's going to be closer to 10k ????. I'm pretty heavy, size 16 in clothes and 5'4 ish, so I'm not expecting to look like JLo after my surgery but hoping Dr.Hazani can give me more of a shape. I'm somewhat curvy when I'm smaller but after I had my kids and gained weight I completely lost my shape. I'm currently in the process of losing weight and I'm hoping by my surgery date I can lose close to 40lbs ????. I believe they are currently booked till Aug, so that should be more than enough time. I'll update after my consult... for now, gotta get on that treadmill ????

My consult is on May 22nd. Debbie said I'm the 1st consultation of the day. I'm pretty stoked about that because I've heard about people waiting hours for their phone consult because he got backed up with others. Waiting these next 2 1/2 wks is going to kill me, LOL!

Hello! I booked my consultation on Monday for May 15th. I asked about pricing and was told the same thing. I am wondering though why is it that you think it will be close to 10K? Is it cause of your weight? Reason why I ask is because I called about two weeks ago and although they weren't accepting new patients at the time, I did get the price of $7,900. I was not asked about my weight or anything. A friend of mine also called days after and was given the same price.

No, virtual consult. I was told they do a virtual 1st and then an in office consult after that if you are still interested.

Oh nice, I have mine for this month too. But wasn't too sure of that. Thank you

In regards to the pricing, when I talked to Debbie she had mentioned something about them not running the special for $7500 or $7900 (I don't remember which price she said). She said it wouldn't be something outrageous like 11k or 10k, so I'm just guessing it'll b close to 10k, maybe around 9k. Also, I did see a couple people post their prices and some were in the 8k range and one of them I saw was $9100. It could have been that they added on extra lipo areas, so who knows, it's just what I'm estimating. As far as weight I dont think they charge more if you're heavier because everyone can only remove up to 5ml of fat but then again I could be wrong.

Thank you for your response... Mine is also a virtual consultation on a Sunday @ 6pm! ( I really want this so I don't mind) lol... Oh wow, well I really hope its more on the 8k cause I don't want to pay much more than that! I wanted my surgery to be in the beginning of June but its looking like it wont be till sometime in August. Dr. Hazani will be on vacation for a month ( the last two weeks of June and first two weeks of July). I decided to wait for him and not look anywhere else for this procedure because of the great reviews and post op pictures but also cause of the price! I am now hoping it was worth the wait!

I mentioned wanting my surgery to be in June or even July because I work for the School District and have the summer off. I go back to work late August AND my 4 yr old will be starting TK so I def don't want to miss her first day of school! The lady I spoke to said they have a list we can ask to be put on for sooner surgery, she said we will get a call the day after our consult from Debbie and we can ask for that then. Whenever it is, I wish you the best and a super fast recovery!! =)

congratulations!!

i am booked with hazani for this monday (omg!) and also cant spell nayellis name and feel bad because she is a lovely person. :D

have you consulted with any other doctors yet? even if you are settled on hazani, its a good idea to do some other (free!) consults, to make sure your expectations are accurate.
User Avatar
May 5, 2016
How exciting! I'm actually so surprised I was able to get my consultation because I knew how busy they have been lately.

I've been doing so much research on dr.'s and honestly havent found any other dr. that produces the same results. Actually, I did find a few but they were all in Florida.
User Avatar
May 5, 2016
So I don't currently have any other dr.'s in mind and I haven't done any other consultations yet.

I did have a consult with Dr. Dass last week. I do like his bbl pics but not too sure about his ba pics. He basically told me that every ps has their signature bbl and you need to look at the pics to see if you like it. He's a nice enough person but I was sort of underwhelmed. His patient coordinator was extremely nice and she had a bbl done by him. I really like her results.
Now I'm just waiting for my consult with Hazani and then I will make my choice.
Btw, I did try to schedule with Dr. Schwartz, but I didn't think he really specialized in bbl since there are no pics on his website. And his consult was $200 so I passed on that.
User Avatar
May 18, 2016
What was Dr.Dass charging for a bbl? And I totally agree with every Dr. having their signature bbl. Dr.Hazani seems to be consistant with giving girls big hips and butts, and his hip to waist ratio usually looks really good and not too drastic. Ive seen some Dr's. lipo so much around the waist that it literally causes an indent around their waist instead of a smooth curve. I'll have to check out Dr. Dass. My consultation with Dr.Hazani is this Sunday!!

I'm learning how to navigate on this forum. I've finally found you ladies going to Dr. Hazani. I recently decided to make a virtual appointment with him, scheduled for mid May. I wanted to find out if he's the best surgeon for my needs. Just let me say thank you for sharing. I want a bbl and ba done with him. I do have a time crunch (window of opportunity is late June) and according to your latest posting, you think he's booked till August. I'm so bummed
User Avatar
May 7, 2016
Hi! I'm still learning as well. :)

I have my consult on the 22nd. It was mentioned that there is a waiting list that you can be put on in case anyone cancels their surgery. Debbie will probably mention that to you after your consultation if your projected surgery date is prior to their availability. Also, Dr.Hazani is said to be on vacation from mid June till mid July. Hope this helps you!!
May 11, 2016
Do you know how much is his starting price ?
User Avatar
May 11, 2016
Not as of yet. I've seen pricesprices around $7500 to close to $9000 but not sure if that's including other lipo areas at an additional cost.
May 11, 2016
Oh okay gotcha, thank you. So helpful:-)
User Avatar
May 17, 2016
So I had my consultation! Everything went well and Dr. Hazani answered every question and went over every detail. He's awesome! The price he gave me is $8,900. I am doing upper and lower abdomen, upper and lower back and sides. I requested my surgery date to be in June and there's a possibility something might open up! (Crossing fingers!!) I received a call today from Sarah. She emailed a proposal for me to sign. If I want to continue, (of course I do!) I will be sent an email with a link where I can make my $500 deposit to secure my date. They will also be emailing the blood work form my Dr needs to fill out and I can just email it or fax it back, which is a plus because I live over an hour away. They will let me know in the next week or two if I will be getting my surgery done in June! So excited!!
May 17, 2016
And that was over the phone, correct ? Omg congrats, so exciting. I'm happy for you! Can't wait for my turn. I'll be making a review too
User Avatar
May 18, 2016
Yay! I hope you get your June surgery date! So, $8900? Did they give you a breakdown as far as what areas are generally included in a bbl? Are any of the areas that you're doing an additional charge? June is right around the corner, it's all happening so fast! So excited for u!!!

When you sent your photos in, were you completely clothes less ?

Yes. I was completely naked.. I believe that gives them a more clear picture of what they are working with and what they can do for you.

But I agree. I think not covering any part of your body gives them a better idea of what every inch looks like.

Ok so, no judgement. It's killing me to post these awful pics right now but I feel like it could def. help some other people that want to get this surgery done too. My starting weight was 230. In this picture and currently I'm 220. I had my consult with Hazani and was told I needed to lose weight (about 30lbs if not more) , which was always my plan anyway so no harm there. Although, he basically didn't want me to schedule my appt until I had lost the weight. I understand his thinking behind it but if I may say, everyone is different and some people can lose the weight with a target date in mind and others may not be able to. My weight fluctuates... alot. And I have lost 30lbs+ before. Anyway, thats what Hazani told me and the next day I still got an email from Gary with a proposal. Still not sure about what to do. I think I'm going to set my surgery date and kick up my dieting and workouts to make this work. Wish me luck!

(reposting on this update, where i meant to put it!) the issue with weight loss is that theres a limit in California on how much they can take out unless they hospitalize you. if you did surgery today, you would likely hit the max with just one area because its a deceptively small limit. :/ i did my surgery with dr hazani and recommend him, but only if youre already within a good range (that is: no more than 10-15 lbs over your ideal weight). otherwise you may be disappointed with how much fat he has to leave on you. if you want larger volume liposuction, you may wish to do a consult with dr joel beck in san francisco area. he operates in hospitals and keeps all patients there overnight, which means he is not limited by strict volume limits and can safely have more freedom to take more volume. hes more expensive, but two surgeries (to get all the fat you want out) would be even more pricey. just my $0.02!

I understand. I do remember reading something about that max. removal of fat and Hazani did mention that during the consult too. I think my overall gripe was just that he said he didn't want to schedule me until all my weight was lost and that would have put me months out for my surgery date and possibly a higher cost too. I still do believe he is the best dr and I'm going to use him for sure if that's what I decide to do but I really just wanted to voice my opnion to help others in case other women have had the same experience. As far as the large volume lipo, I'd rather not do something like that. I'm capable of losing the weight so I dont mind working hard to get the weight off before surgery. I really appreciate your info though and thanks for sharing it with me.

I've paid my deposit and scheduled for September 27th. Geez, I'm so nervous. Let me know if anyone is scheduled for that date as well!! I've been looking at other women getting theirs done and some people have it done with a friend or family member... how fun that must be to go through something like this with someone close by your side that understands your pain and struggle thru the recovery process. Anyway, just giving you ladies an update. Feel free to ask me any questions!!
