Dass Ass for Me (BBL with Mini TT) - Beverly Hills, CA

I started my research early this year and I had three ps I was looking at: Schwartz, Dass, & Hazani.
With Schwartz, I didn't see too many before and after Bbl pic. I also spoke to his patient coordinator and although she was nice, I wasn't convinced enough to do an actual in-person consult.
For Dass, I had a consult, but his price made me feel like I should be able to find someone a little more within my budget.
This led me to Hazani and all the Hazani dolls. His price was within my budget and I really had a chance to bond with Hazani dolls. They all had their bbls recently and raved about his work. I was hooked. I scheduled a ba, bbl, and a TT with Hazani. My hubby convinced me to go slow and do one surgery at a time. I started with a ba with Hazani. My bbl surgery with him was supposed to be on July 18th, but due to low iron levels and my rhinoplasty, he turned me away. I was soooooo bummed, but my hubby said maybe it was a blessing in disguise.
I guess my husband is right. I had a chance to do more research and also give some time for the Hazani dolls to report their updates. Unfortunately, those dolls were less than happy with the end results. Add to that, I came across the Dass dolls and I see that the majority of the dolls are happy with their bbl results. Shout out to Submitt08. Unknowingly, her posts and pic convinced me to choose Dass. I want results like hers (thank you Submitt08 for taking the time to review Dass).
So now I'm booked with Dass for September 30. My pre-op is coming up soon and I am so crazy and nervous with anticipation.
This is my 40th birthday gift to myself.
I will post some before pictures later.

OMG. It's getting real now. I had my pre-op on Friday and surgery is paid. I can't believe I'm doing this. My biggest part of it is the mini tummy tuck. It's the scar I'm freaked out about. That's a whole lot of me being cut out. As much as I disliked that flap of skin, I'm kinda fond of it...I know it doesn't make sense...fear for the unknown, I guess?!?
Anyhow, I love that Dr. Dass did everything. He took the pictures; he walked me through what to expect and he answered all my questions. He is accommodating as far as what I want. He pretty much made me feel not rushed about the pre-op session. I feel so happy and excited about getting this done.
Now to decide how much booty I want. I'm scared of booty greed and afraid it will shrink so I think I am going to ask him for the maximum that my butt can stretch. Any comments/suggestions from you Bbl vets would be greatly appreciated in regards to how much. I'm 5ft and weigh 135lbs. I have thick thighs and legs.

So I'm getting the courage to post my before pictures. I can't believe what one pregnancy and aging has done to my body. Sadly, after 8 years, I finally gave up all my pre-pregnancy jeans. These jeans are sizes 26.
On the bright side, I can't wait for this Friday when Dass will do his magic. I'm getting stomach lipo, Bbl, and mini tummy tuck. I'm still scared about the mini TT. Anyone who has any suggestions, experience, or input with my upcoming surgery will be greatly appreciated.
