I met with Dr Dass initially about 6 weeks ago. Scheduling the consultation was super easy but there is a $50 consultation fee that you pay up front. I live very close to his office as well. Less than 2 miles away so that also played a part in my decision to go with Dr. Dass. During the initial consultation we went over what I want and the areas that he would be able to get fat from which were arms, back bra rolls, inner thighs and inner knees.
I really want more lipo on my stomach but he said he did not think I have enough fat in that area as I have previously had lipo there and it could create irregularities. That was disappointing as really want more contouring in that area to create more if an hourglass figure. Also I'm thinking how is there enough fat in my arms and knees for lipo but not my abdomen area? I do not want any irregularities so I did not push it. I had absolutely no problems with my previous liposuction and I don't want any.
After my consultation with Dr. Dass I spoke with his coordinator Angela again about pricing for the areas he suggested and to transfer. The total was $9900 which seems very expensive given the fact that I would not get my abdomen area liposuctioned at all.
I decided to not have the knee area included and that reduced the price by $1000.
After more consideration and Realself stalking (this website is great) I scheduled a 2nd consultation for 9/23 to ask additional questions. I asked again about areas that fat could be grafted from and the amount that he thought he could get from each area. As you ladies know it is all about the ccs injected with this procedure. Dr. Dass advised me at that time that he should be able to get about 600ccs into each side for noticeable results but again that included about 100-150 ccs from my knees if included. So I'm thinking without the knees he should be able to inject about 500ccs on each side which would be fine because I already have some booty. Angela said he usually gets out and injects more than he anticipates.
I met with Angela again on Wednesday 9/28 and confirmed my date and paid for the procedure. I am set for 10/6. Very close, I want to be healed and out of those garments by Thanksgiving as I may have to travel and will definitely want to hang out comfortably with friends and family.
After I made my payment in full I met with Dr Dass on 9/28 also. He took pictures and his assistant did my measurements and weighed me at that time. I asked Dr. Dass again about the ccs and this time he said he couldn't be sure of how much he could get out but he would take as much out as possible from the areas to be lipoed which are inner thighs, upper arms and upper back bra rolls. I really want this to go well as $9000.00 is a lot of money and I want to see great results! He also told me that wearing the garment improperly could cause irregularities. I've worn the garment before so not too concerned with that as long as he properly liposuctions the heck out of the areas discussed I should be ok. I follow directions very well and especially when it concerns my body and surgery. I wonder though if anyone has had any irregularities that they feel were caused by not wearing garments properly or for the suggested amount of time?
Just five more days to go and I am nervous and excited! I will go shopping for a few items needed this weekend to prepare for the surgery.

Hi! I had a BBL a few years ago with a different Dr. but I've since lost weight and my bottom went back to its pre-op size unfortunately :(

Oh ok :( that's disappointing about your first bbl but hopefully dr Dass can fix you up! Looking forward to following your journey and seeing your results :)

Thanks for starting a review and for giving so much detail about what has been going on so far and on your concerns with your abdomen.  Please keep us posted on your journey.

I'm going in for a consultation next week and my biggest concern is not the price but if it will last for the price so with that said did you lose all shape size and fat from the 1st one . And did your skin sag after being stretched or did it look worst then before you had it done these r all my concerns that I could lose it all and waste my money

Did you ever go talk to dr dass about how you weren’t happy with your results? Did he offer to fix anything? I just had my bbl and so far I’m not happy with my results but I’m only one week post. I’m also pettite 5’2 120 lbs hopefully things will settle in and it will look better but I’m very worried

My surgery is set for tomorrow and I am so excited and nervous all at the same time.
I am set to have lipo on my arms, back bra roll and inner thighs. I am very much hoping that he goes all the way up to get out all the fat on my back and not just stop at the bra line. I am also reconsidering the knees. I don't want to have my thighs done and then the knee area not look proportionate. I read about that somewhere on realself. I just called the office and scheduled another quick appointment so he can look me over one last time to make sure we are on the same page. I really just do not want to have any fat left behind on my back that is a major concern. It seems like a lot of surgeons don't go up far enough and there is a pocket of fat left right behind the arm pits for some reason.
I measured and weighed today also 129lbs
35.5-27-41.5
I go in at 8:30 tomorrow morning :)
The girls in his office are so patient and accommodating.

The fat near the corners of the arm pit is a major concern for me as well! Please let me know how it goes as when I booked my surgery I was really unclear on whether that area was covered or not Angela told me the axilla (that area) is another $1000 but when I asked what was included in the bra rolls she said from the bra line to the top of the back? I was totally confused but prayed that was all I needed as I don't have another $1000 but am really self conscious of that area D: best of luck! Please let us know how you go xx
October 7, 2016
Thank you. I told him about that area again before surgery, I will let you know after I am able to remove garment on Saturday.
October 9, 2016
So it does not seem as though he went as far up to that area that we discussed. I have no brushing or anything there at all. The incisions he placed on my back are much lower and very far away from that area. Seems he only did bra roll area.

:0 oh no :( that's a bit devastating... Are you able to upload any pics? How does it look?
October 10, 2016
I have some dents from the back area under the armpit. If I stand up straight, I can still see the fat rolls in the bra area. Needless to say, I'm a bit disappointed bc I wanted it flat back there :/

Will be interesting to see you before and afters. I have seen a lot of girls thought that but it really changed after a few weeks because of swelling, but then again when I asked about the axilia Angela said it was another area, so another $1000 but then when I asked about the bra rolls she said it was from the bra line to the top of the back? I'm so confused :(

Everything went ok. Not being able to eat breakfast was very hard. If you like breakfast like I do, you may want to schedule your surgery for first thing in the morning because you cant eat before. I arrived at the center at 8:30 am. I started IV shortly after and was heading into OR at around 9am. He was finishing up a BBL when I arrived and started another surgery (not sure or what that one was) right after me. The ladies that assist him with IV and anesthesia were so nice.
It is really cold when you wake up from anesthesia but they provide a small heater and blanket so it isn't so bad.
I'm not in any pain at all but this garment for the arms is very annoying to say the least and it is so tight. I only got arms, inner thigh, and bra rolls so not a lot of lipo other than the arms garment I feel just fine. I should add I do have high pain tolerance also and it will likely be worse tomorrow.
I ate a bit as soon as I got home but I have not needed any pain meds yet. Took the arnica and antibiotics as directed. it is just a waiting game from here I guess.

Wow. You are very lucky. You didn't get stomach lipo?
I hope your recovery continues to be smooth sailing. Can't wait to see your pics. Happy healing!
October 7, 2016
No, he said I didn't have enough fat on my stomach
October 7, 2016
Yours looks amazing though. I wish he could have done my stomach but he said he didn't want to create any irregularities and I didn't have enough fat there.
I will try to post pics on Sat after I shower access the situation.
October 7, 2016
Justmel, can you post your current pics? I am excited to see your results. I too talked with Dr Dass and he is a great doctor. He is so on the expensive side though but it is worth it. I am 5'2" but weigh about 140 lb and I am told left and right that I am a "thin" patient and I am not sure if me working out 7 times a week can be misleading in terms of weight.

Pics? How are we supposed to make a decision based on words and no observable results of before and after? Pictures speak a thousand words!
