I'm a 49 year gal that has seen a dramatic change...
WORTH IT$11,900
I'm a 49 year gal that has seen a dramatic change in my body with the early onset of menopause, a job that has me sitting at a desk for 50 hours a week and my gym routine dropping from 5 days a week to perhaps 3 days a month, let's not forget the over eating of snack foods also.
I have never been one for plastic surgery but this surgery seems to tackle a multitude of issues in one procedure so I was immediately sold once I started reading the before and after profiles.
I did some research and came up with Dr Dass in Beverley Hills and within a month of the original consult I am scheduled in 2 days for the surgery...yikes!!
I am posting some pretty digesting pics but I felt in my research I didn't see too may before pics with huge rolls of fat around the waist and I would like to show what changes there will be in this are. I have very low expectations so I am hoping to be pleasantly surprised with my results.

Thank you I am here now and starting to get nervous. I will post pics once it's all over

Dr Dass did an awesome job on you! You have definitely turned back the clock! I meet with him in September. I'm trying to decide if I want to go with him or Dr. Hazani. How's the pain in your back? He mentioned patients complain about their back.

Thank you, I really am delighted and shocked by how good the results are. Yes I was between the 2 Dr's but I was impatient and Dr Dass was very accommodating with his appointments. Actually it was a month from my first appointment to my surgery. I know the other Dr is a lot cheaper which does make a difference. The back pain started around 3 weeks and I had a couple of days of bad pain but it's ok now just a bit uncomfortable. I stand up for 10 hours leaning over my desk so that probably doesn't help my back either. When are you thinking of having surgery? I think both Dr's have great reviews. Are you in the same age range?
December 1, 2015
No, I'm 40 but look much younger:)
I'm in Texas so I'll be flying back to Cali again. I haven't decided on the date yet. If I go with Dr. Dass I will need to come up with 1/2. I dont want to finance 13k. I'm looking at another doc in Miami- aka Dr. Miami.

I think I have heard of that name. Yes there does appear to be a sizeable difference in cost. I paid an additional $1,000 since I had the bra roll done which is a small area kind of under the arm. It really made a huge difference to the shape of my chest. I feel like my boobs are all to the front now rather than just continuing around my back lol

Ok you look fabulous. He hooked you up. I need a butt like that. Congrats
December 25, 2015
Oh thank you so much :) All the pain and discomfort was worth it, I think by week 8 I should be pain free and back to the gym. Good luck if u decide to have the surgery done and Merry Christmas.

You look AMAZING! I am contemplating getting this surgery by Dr. Dass.
Did you find that it was difficult to sit (driving, working, etc...)?
Was sleeping challenging?
How is your recovery going overall?

Hello, Thank you! I do feel amazing and I'm totally delighted. I think I went into this not expecting the results that I got or expecting the recovery to be quite so long. I'm at 7 wks and probably getting close to 90% recovery. I would change so many things that I did and I am sure my recovery would be cut down to about 4 or 5 weeks. I have only been able to sit for the last week and half and that was strange as it felt like I was sitting on a water balloon that was about to pop. That's getting better now. I have a desk job and I am lucky to work from home. I set my desk up so I stand and that has worked great. If u get it done, hit me up and I will tell u the things I did that I would change to speed healing. Thanks for your kind words I'm more than delighted with my results.

I need to work on a few things before I get it...
1. Money to pay for it. Don't really want to finance.
2. Time off from work.
3. Someone to drive me from my surgery. I'm new to CA. Trying to establish a network of friends who are willing and understanding.

Yes all of those things are important. I only took 1 week off week and it wasn't long enough. 2 weeks would have been perfect. Yes I paid half of mine cash and then put the rest on carecredit which the staff member at Dr Dass' called up to extend the limit I had. I get paid commission so I am aiming to have it paid off in a couple of months however it is 12 months interest free. You do need friends around to help pick you up and drive you to appointments. Where in CA are you?
December 25, 2015
Right now I am in the I.E.
I wanted to get the surgery before Christmas, but that didn't happen. I would like to hopefully get it between Spring and Summer 2016.

Day of treatment
No pain, no gain!!
It is now 8 hours since getting out of surgery. The 1st concern of mine prior to surgery was how I get home without sitting on my butt. Well I figure it out, not safe but it worked, I was on my knees leaning onto the seat for the 45 min trip home. My skin at the moment looks like a sharpei puppy but that should change. My butt is far too bog but DR Dass warned me I would hate it for weeks til swelling went down. So goad he told me that as right now it looks huge to me. I measured prior bust 40 now 44 (swelling as I did nothing to them) waist was 38 now 31!!!!! Butt 40 and now 46! I know it's too early to measure but it's a way of tracking progress. I'm going to take pain killer now and lie down. Pain at 8pm in now only about a 3 or 4.
Pain around 11am ( surgery was at 7am) I would say was a 9 or 10. I was saturated with blood and fluids so my boyfriend changed the pads which was agony as we had to take the garment down.

Can't wait to see your results. I too am 49, once was a gym rat, now if I make it to the gym 3 days a wk, that's a good wk. You are right age and menopause can have a drastic affect on your body. Best wishes to you and your recovery. I'm sure your going to look amazing.
November 3, 2015
Thank you I appreciate the support. Have you had the procedure done or are you having it in future? I haven't read your profile yet

Wishing you a speedy recovery. I too am 49 years. I had my consult with Dr Dass yesterday. I cant wait to see your results. I'm looking at having my BBL in late February or early March....
November 26, 2015
Hello I'm sorry I missed your message. Did you decide to go with Dr Dass or someone else? Do you have before pictures? I'm at 3.5 weeks now and if you look at my pics you can really see the transformation. I live fairly close to you and the drive to his office is really not too bad and he has always been very accommodating when I need an appointment. What date is your surgery?
December 25, 2015
What did you have done again. I am looking for a butt lift but maybe I can get away with what you did. U love it
December 25, 2015
I had a brazillian butt lift. I had lipo of the waist tummy flanks and bra roll and 850 injected back into each cheek?
February 11, 2017
Was it lipo and smart lipo for tightening? Do you have any loose skin? If you have loose skin, does it roll at all when you sit down? Love, love, your results!
February 11, 2017
I think it was just liposuction. No it doesn't roll and somehow my skin just stuck back to my body. Wearing the garment was key. I did just have a mini tummy tuck as there was a medical research study on pain killers and they did a mini ttummy so I did it. I'm only 3 wks down. Thank u :)
