I have struggled my entire adult life with my body...

I have struggled my entire adult life with my body image. I have always been thin but never had any curves. I did some major research and found Dr. Dass. He was clearly the expert in this field. Since I live n Oregon I did the long distance consult. Shockingly to me Dr. Dass said he wasn't sure that I had enough fat on my body (thanks but yeah right) to make a round booty.

I accepted the challenge and scheduled an in person consultation. Alas Dr. Dass admitted I do indeed have enough fat to make a decent difference in my figure! (YAY ME)

I scheduled the surgery for June 1, 2017. About six weeks from my consult.

Since I live out of state I had to do some planning. My daughter (22) agreed to come with me and help care for me. We booked the airline tickets, car and Airbnb. My place was within 1/2 mile from Dr. Dass office.

We arrived in LA and immediately went to my pre-op appointment. My surgery was for June 1, 2017 at 6am. I know, a wee bit too early but hey, I will not argue with the best!

I arrived at 6am and finished my paperwork. Then headed back to the pre-op area were I met my nurse and she administered my IV without much of an uncomfortable moment. Best IV insertion EVER! Yay Dr. Dass and his team!

The anesthesiologist met me and explained every step and actually listened to every question I had. Not to mention she is absolutely gorgeous and appears way too young but was clearly VERY competent and quiet experienced.

Last thing I remember was asking if she had given me something to which she said "yes" now take a few deep breaths.

I woke up in pain. I was rushed out of the recovery and into my rental car. I rose in the back on my stomach and honestly I was so drugged I don't remember much.

First two days were awful. I ad a drain tube that psychologically made me think I hurt. Hind site I don't think I actually had pain from the drain tube but it was more f a mental battle. My body was sore from the deep fat removal. I dealt with it as I knew t was for the greater good.

By skit day four I was anxious to get up and around. Plus sleeping on my stomach with a drain tube and mini tummy tuck sutures weren't the most comfortable.

I made it a week!! I arrived to Dr. Dass and had my post p appointment. I was Abby distraught as no knew they were removing my drain tube which scared me. As Sr. Dass examined me he said everything looked amazing as planned. I asked, all my butt be this big in a bit of a frightened voice? He said no with a broken of a chuckle. YAY I thought. Megan the nurse removed me drain tube and assure me everything was on tack. I flew home
That evening.

I am be five weeks as one day post op. I am feeling amazing. Super tired of the compression sit but I get it. I am also so very exhausted of not sitting. I find a rolled towel worked amazing.

Six more days!!! Yes! I love what I am seeing and can confidently say that Dr. Dass is an absolute genius sculptor. I wold do it again knowing ow amazing the results are!!

8000 was just part of what I paid. All in all it was 14500. Most was the tummy tuck. BBL wasn't that expensive.

Wow you look great!!!! Im scheduled for a BBL with Dr. Schulman in NYC on July 11th. Do you have any post op tips? happy healing!

My post op tip would honestly be do not sit on the new booty. I love my new booty and wish I had protected the new fat transfer better. I used a rolled up towel as it provided me enough distance between my butt and the surface I was sitting on. But don't skimp. If you are looking for a lot of fat transfer be careful. It's only six weeks. And each week is not fun but worth the end result. I hope you had amazing results!! I absolutely love my new bum!

Well I broke out the price. All in all I paid 14,000. I had a mini tummy tuck, lipo suction of my lower and upper abdomen as well as my back and sides and then finally the BBL. Let me tell you it is absolutely worth every penny! I will try and post a few pics. I am post op 51/2 weeks. YAY. Feeling like my body is mine and this is what I will finally look like. I love it. ❤️

I'm in the process of booking my date with him. I'm the same age and shape as you were. My biggest concern is aftercare while I'm in LA. How long was it before you were able to do things such as shower etc by yourself? Also, do you know if he injects the fat in the muscle? Also, if you can pls post more pics. Really excited to see your results.

The aftercare is huge! I had my daughter fly out with me and take care of me. She gave me meds fed me etc. although I'm sure you could do it solo too! Just prep ahead and make sure you have mots to eat and drink. Very important for your recovery. I showered on day two. I had a drain tube from my mini tummy tuck so it proved far more challenging. If you are only doing the BBL you will have zero problems. I am not sure where he injects the fat? I can say he has done a fabulous job where ever he puts it! Haha
July 10, 2017
I agree! You look fantastic! And it's encouraging to hear that the recovery won't be impossible lol.

I would be happy with your results. Do you know how much he injected? I wouldn't want it too shrink much

You look incredible, these are the results I'm hoping for. If you don't mind me asking I noticed that you have mini tummy tuck and bbl on your title, and only $8,000 cost. You don't look at all like you needed a tummy tuck and the price would be much higher than 8g if you had both done. Was that a typo?
User Avatar
July 9, 2017
I was breaking up the cost. The BBL was about 8k and the mini tummy tuck was 7k. All in all in paid just under 15k. It was absolutely worth it too. I know I didn't have a ton of lose skin but enough that I wanted to have a streamlined tummy! Xo

Ok. Thanks. That makes more sense. Well you look wonderful. Enjoy your new body. I can't wait for mine. :)
