Hello All! I have been researching the BBL...

Hello All! I have been researching the BBL procedure for months now. I've wanted Butt implants forever, but now have my mind set on the BBL. My butt is pretty flat and would like a full and round booty.

Let me give you a little information about myself. I am 30 years old, 5'4, and 125 lbs. I have two children. I have been on 4 consultations and two virtual. So far I have narrowed it down to Campos or Ghavami. Both doctor seem absolutely great and I have read so many great reviews about them both on realself. I told both Dr's I would like to have at least 800 cc transfered and both assured me it was very possible. I do have to gain at least 10 lbs before surgery.

Dr Ghavami quoted me $12,700 (with realself discount), which included 5 areas of lipo (arms, abs, back, flancks, inner thighs), fat grafting to buttocks, girdle, anethesia fee, and I think thats it (they didn't give me a copy of the quote). Dr Campos qoute me $5,145, which includes Liposuction in the abdomen, waist and lower back , Fat grafting in to buttocks, Anesthesia Fee (Epidural, Sedation), Girdle, and Post op medication.

It's a really big price difference!!! Which makes me want to go to Campos. I'm giving myself til monday to decide! I'm nervous, but super excited.

Ok so I've decided to upload photos of myself. I wasn't going to, but because of all the wonderful ladies on realself, their photos, and stories really helped in my decision for surgery. So I really hope that I can help others just as they did for me.
And I choose to have my surgery performed my Dr. Campos. Sent my deposit today for surgery in November. Woohoo Can't wait!

I'm starting to get really nervous!!! Reality is really setting in. In a way I feel a little guilty for using all my $ on surgery. I could be using it for my home, daughters, or whatever. But then again I start to think about how long I've been wanting to do this. It's gonna be a tuff next few weeks. After my surgery in Mex. my husband will be taking me home, which is a 2-3 hour drive. I might have to have my drains in for 10 days because of the thanksgiving holiday and no one to drive me back until that saturday :(. Angie told be it would be ok, but I will just have to keep taking antibiotics until they are removed. Im hoping when I get my first massage my husband can watch. This way I will not have to drive back and my husband can do the massages at home.
I'm trying to figure out how to upload my before pictures from my iPhone. Pictures to come soon
