So I have a month to go before my big day, and I'm trying to research other options for sitting positions. I don't know about you guys, but I can't fathom not sitting on my ass for 2-3 weeks. That's crazy! Laying on my stomach the whole time is gonna b uncomfortable. I'm seeing that some of you guys are buying lawn chairs (I'm assuming) and cutting the seat part out. How effective is this? Just wanted to get some more tips and suggestions :)

So there's absolutely no before and after pics for his work at all??? I'd love to see his work for the price bc that's amazing compared to marksmanns pricies I looked at his site and seen nothing either :-( Well I'd definitely love to see your results to figure out if I'd make him an option for my BBL
No, none on his site. I'm meeting with him in the next few weeks and have required that he show me photo's before I pay him his fee. Don't get me wrong, Dr. B has a lot of experience, but I don't feel comfortable going through with the procedure until I see some. Ill let u know how things go!
I see before and after pictures on his site? Are these not his patients? I also saw pictures in his binder during his consult....
Did u see before and after pictures for the bbl? He has some for lipo and other things, but I didn't see any for that procedure.
I just spoke to him regarding my procedure. I asked about the bbl pics and he says he doesn't have them on his site yet. I was consulting about a tt so I was focused on those pictures. But he has now raised the issue of me having a bbl in addition to a tt to get the results I want. Uggghhhh!! My head is spinning!!!
Oh, okay. Yeah I saw some pictures of his tummy tucks and they looked pretty good. When are u interested in getting surgery? I'm scheduled for next months, and nerves have definitely got the best of me smh
Hang in there and don't be nervous! This is such a great and supportive site. I want to have my surgery the last Thursday in May and he said that date is open, but he thinks I need to consider a bbl in addition to a TT because of my shape and my goals. I'm not sure what I am going to do. I've recently losses about 90 pounds and I have two children so I have loose skin and not much fat left. Add that to the fact that I have narrow hips means that with a TT alone he thinks I may look less than curvy. I don't know. He said if he does the TT first I won't have enough fat left to do the bbl.
Hello jennifermisses, I'm moving to that area and have been looking for a dr for a bbl as well. please please please keep me updated as to how everything goes! thanks in advance! I'm sure everything will be great! You talk about Dr B likes he's awesome.

Okay, so it wasn't really a pre-op more like another Q&A. I thought it was a little early as I still have about a month and a few weeks left. Time is flying, March 14th is right around the corner! He did order my garmets for me-a corset type garment (I'm assuming for the lipo), and a body suit type garmet with the butt out. Kinda pricey, but he was able to give me a discount. He also took my measurements, and told me that he thinks he'll be able to get about 800 cc's in each cheek. I'm happy with that. I think he's going to do an amazing job. Dr. B emphasized how small my waist is going to be, and he believes he will completely get rid of my love handles and bra rolls. Soooo excited. I'm growing more and more confidence that this is going to go well by the day. Dr. B is amazing and his bedside manner is impeccable. In no way do I feel like I'm a number, and I know he's always there. I'm expecting an email from him detailing what he needs for my bloodwork and I will update u guys later. Until next time ladies :) Positive thoughts!!

CAnt wait to see how it goes! Im here in the DC area as well so I'd love to find someone here.
I'm detailing my process every step of the way! Dr. B is amazing, u should definitely check him out. My surgery is scheduled for 3/14, ill definitely let u know how it goes.
Congrats lady!!! Im glad things went so well!!! He ordered the butt out garment? Was that on the body by veronique site cuz I think he might have ordered the butt in garmentfor me but im not sure... I asked him about a corset but I told him I wanted to order a squeem post op
Yeah it was on her site. He ordered the butt out garment cuz he said he didn't want any pressure on that area. The corset, to keep things nice and tight. Girl, I told him about real self and said he has a small following on there. I told him he better do us right! (He started laughing). Lol
