$9,995
Just wanted to add that I was not looking for this surgery to lose weight. Since the surgery I have lost 15lbs . I was looking for more contouring a smaller waist a more coke bottle shape. which is what we had discussed moments before he started working on me. While my clothes do fit better I do not have the shape i want

why don't you look into a bbl? they will seriously sculpt you with that hourglass and your booty will give it more of that hourglass projection:)
i want one but i think if i have enough lipo'd my butt will look bigger. Im also terrified of the recovery that comes with a bbl lol is it bad?
jeez I was soo sad I couldn't find you lol I went in for a consultation at elite and well im pretty pumped but im kind of iffy still. I was wondering did you have your abdominal or the waist and hips done?
how much did he quote you?
10995 I still don't understand the whole 995 for surgery fee like what are the prices for then lol
for each area i think....what was the quote for? abs back and flank?
for each area i think....what was the quote for? abs back and flank?
it was 4 just for the waist and hips
if you got a BBl you would definitely look flawless and the rest of your belly would be gone, have you looked into dr. hughes hes good at what he does here but doctor Miami is the shiit lol!!
Thats a lot my cousin is going to Beverly Hills institute of plastic surgery. Also look into La body sculpture they have a similar machine to the one Elite uses.
you think so? and you know what I noticed dr. rollins is everywhere on the news you know so I know he must have that technique but the before and afters on there site are done by him but what about the other bodies theyre done by the other doctors there,
and yes all elite body sculpture is laser liposuction isn't it? they just made a fancy name for it, I was quoted 17000 the first time I went and I went to another dr and paid 5000 I got good results however he didn't do my arms all the way so I still have fat and the drs at elite showed me and it makes sence why I still have bulky arms. basically they said my dr before just did a half job lol
dr rollins only vomes into the la office for a week he has offices in other cities that he goes to. thats how i got dr Yovino
was that dr hughes?
the 5000 I paid was with dr dass. I got my BBL with dr hughes I paid 9000
whats the recovery like on a bbl?
well the recovery is nothing like laser liposuction laser liposuction is a breeze a BBL is very painful the first couple of days its something that well its all worth it because youll have all that junk in the truck but tough
ahhh i dont have the guts to do it lol..let me know who you end up going to would love to hear how it turns out
yeah nothing is as easy as laser lipo evething else is harsh on the body even just lipo by itself real lipo takes a toll on your body. that's why its better results then laser because its soo aggressive. ill see what happens I have a lot of talking to do with my boyfriend lol.
If I would have known that I would have gone with traditional lipo the first time and saved my 10k :( You know what convinced my bf.. i bought a romper and I could put it on it zipped but when i took the smallest breath the zipper busted and he had to help me out of it lol i cried the entire time.
how was your recovery after the airsculpt? I really want to do it lol eventhough im going to be taking that risk of not being satisfied -_- where you good a week after? yess Ive came to realize that specially here in los angeles the doctors don't go all out on the suctioning specially since they have like a minimum they can take out. I cry now just thinking how much fat arms and double chin I have aswell as no curves :'( wahh but im glad your loosing weight wear a trainer to keep you tighter that might help you loose more weight
I had surgery on thursday recovered over the weekend and went back to work monday. I didnt need meds that much just day of SX and 1 day post op. I was just really sore no pain while at work I waddled a bit because the compression garment i wore made noise and i work in a quiet office lol now I have a few lumps that need massaging and it feels like someone is pulling on my sides so i still cant lay on my sides for long. I was back in the gym after 4 weeks. and im down 15 pounds..
So I finally got the okay to go on with it so im soo excited I got the courage and said why not basically its a weekend thing lol ohh man yes that's what was the most painful when I had got my arms and back flanks suctioned, it was soo bad I would only go to sleep off norcos. I hope It all goes as planned I like the fact that you keep loosing fat after surgery.
that sounds bad lol but i'm happy you got the okay!!!! I want all of that done too. You're making traditional lipo sound so bad :( lol I am working out 5/6 days a week and i cut out fast food I still indulge from time to time. I did the lipo so I could get a jump start on losing more weight and it is working so far
well traditional lipo mixed with a BBL is very life changing so I wouldn't know if the pain level is the same alone but I remember on my checkup the lady telling me basically lipo is a real hard thing on your body. I cant imagine a tummy tuck man it must be worser. that's good I haven't ate any mcdonalds or any other fast food in three weeks and well im doing it little by little. I have never been small ive always been pretty heavy but not fat fat but after my second child I started getting that mommy fat pouch so I said I need a booty to get rid of it and walah lol however my doctor didn't take out fat to make me even since I had a lot of fat on my under belly so basically im going after other surgeries to even me out and I have been doing squats to get it bigger and I will be done after this I will dedicate myself to tone and get muscle:) im excited for you Im in the 180s so im devasted I hope I can loose weight after:)
yea i looked into dr hughes but I think Dr miami gives the curves i really really want a lot of doctors still leave patients kind of square where dr sal makes it look like you have on an invisible corset. lol
yes dr sal does lipo you evenly I love his work and well that's why im having to go get another surgery lol to give me more of that curvy look not just flat I still have fat pockets on my stomach since he just got the fat from my bottom stomach the mommy pooch"
but in Miami they take out everything there suppose to you know and in LA they suck out whatever amount
I agree Dr Y is quite sweet but 4 days post lipo / bbl which was made to be s piece of cake ( ESP by their patient coordinator ) ,, I have had a fever everyday and my butt is red and hot while my stomach is all swollen up :( and for a plastic surgery virgin it's been hell . Questionung and re questioning my decision - when I was only 129 lbs . But the promise of an hour glass shape lured me in . Time will tell because my family thought I was crazy before and now they are like u brought it on yoirself .
I agree its all marketing strategy. We have our expectations and doctors are only capable of so much depending on experience. You will not regret your decision once you start to see results even if they are minor. I dont think you should worry about what your family thinks because at the end of the day its YOUR body and YOUR happiness. I'm sure you look great. The healing process is DEFINITELY one we have to be patient with. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Thank you so much !! Hugs !
You should check out Dr Del Vecchio he has amazing results.
I will ! I really want to go to dr miami but he's booked until 2017!!! i can wait but not two years lol

I've decided to change my "worth it" after looking at dr miami and his patients I have come to the conclusion that I DEFINITELY could have had more fat removed. I've seen patients with more fat come out with flatter tummies :( I am so bummed that I didnt get my desired result. I find myself still having to hold my stomach in. At the price i paid this is something i dont think i should have to worry about. After realself stalking lol and consideration I have decided to go for round two with Dr. Salzhauer. MY consult date is in November and he is booked until june 2016!! sooo far...if anyone would like to switch dates with me or know how to get an earlier sx date please let me know :)

How is it going now?  We'd love another update to hear what has been happening with the swelling.

okay im sort of confused now because for 10 racks you would expect a big difference, and that's what im scared of, I think the only thing to wok is actual lipo which its a lot more painful on the body however here in CA they can only take out a certain amount of Liters in the body however they don't even go that far, I had smart lipo to my arms and stomach and back fat and let me tell you it wasn't drastic results either not what I expected eighter-_-
glad i'm not the only one that feels this way lol I have already considered round two and looking for someone to give me what i REALLY want
im actually consulting now for round two lol, because I believe it will definitely give me the Best results on top of the firs time :) good luck to us both, have you considered dr. dass hes also in Beverly Hills aswell and I got my arm fat not bra fat done plus back fat and upper stomach done for under 5000
with smart lipo
No I have been looking outside of cali lol i don't think they will take out hpw much i want which isnt much i wanted more of a curvier look seems like he just took off the fat ialready had on my curves. Everyone around me says they see it but i dont lol and that i am just obsessed
I actually see less belly fat in your before and afters, I went back through my pictures and compared my fat from before and after and yes we are our own critics, theres a real good dr in Miami his names Dr. Michael Salzhauer I believe hell give you that hourglass with lipo and super good the only thing is idont want it extreme on me so ihavent went to him lol since Ive already had a BBL
that is exactly who I plan on going to come November! I have been stalking his ig and snapchat. But i have heard both good and bad about him and i am scared to travel alone. I dont want to tell anyone i am going for round two because they will call me a lipo junky lol. I would def need a buddy
lol i completely understand ive never told anyone about my second surgery:0 let alone about my maybe third lol but people don't understand #therealdrmiami is the [RS bleep] to me i look at all his SC and IGs im like man he really does good bodies and his works amazing the only thing yess its all the way out there and i already had a BBL so i don't need him to curve me but yes to suck this fat out lol what i like about him is he actually does full back Lipo and that helps because your not going to have more upper fat then lower and all that,
Well let me know if/when you plan on going to him I would love to hear all about it. or even join you :)
i wish I was that brave to go to him lol, im looking into elite body sculpting in Beverly Hills, have you made a consultation with the Miami dr? or did you already set the date?
there's nothing scary about him lol he definitely produces good results. Elite is good but if you're looking for curves you may want to consider someone who is good at it.I am looking at october/november when i am fully 6 mos healed.
im going to ujpload some pics of my stomach now so you can see I just have this one part in my stomach that needs lipo, which I hope Elite can help me with, I also want my arms again maybe since its round two ill get better results I hope if not this will definatly be it for me and I willpump myself to work out because I wont be doing a BBL round two til im 30., I am soo excited for you I also contacted #drmiami but hubby doesn't approve lol so maybe when im 30 I can have him retouch my butt lol
