Today makes 9 days post SX and I'm I'm loving my results. This has been a major life change for me! A life dream made possible by Dr. Franks who is awesome, sweet, knew exactly what I wanted and needed. I Found Dr. Franks by accident. You see, here in Charlotte there aren't many experienced doctors that perform bbl's. After my failed and rushed consultation with Dr. Michael Orseck in SC, who btw wanted to charge me $8k to lipo my flanks, thighs & bbl, I felt defeated and maybe this was not the time for me. I sat in my car contemplating the 2 hr drive back home and wasted pto when I pulled up realself.com on my phone and did another search. Dr. Marko popped up and even though I've never heard of him or enhanced images, I decided to give them a call. His nurse Jodie agreed to see me that day even though dr. Marko was not available. When I got there, the staff was super friendly and very welcoming. Jodie was honest with me and after she saw my body she told me Dr. Franks will be he perfect dr for me for many reasons. She said that Franks is a sculptor and that's what I needed.

A week later I met with Dr. Franks. Tall, older, but good looking!! He spent 3 full hours with me examining me, showing me lots of pics, and explaining what he was going to do to me and why. I knew then that he was the one! Truly God sent. Oh, and he has he softest hands ever!

One month later, he is taking his time with his markings and surgery prep. The surgery lasted about 5 hrs, but he surely took his time and it is obvious with my results, which were immediate.

Post-op
Not too much pain but I was very weak and nauseated. Day 3 was the worst. Thank God for mommy And daddy who took care of me. Sleeping on my stomach was awful, I was swollen, and even a bit depressed. I developed a bad rash due to the antibiotics but dr franks quickly took care of that. Here I am 9 days post and happy! No pain, just some tenderness ,bruising and swelling which I expected. Still have the drains but I'm glad all my fluids have been collected and I have no fluid build up.

You look great. I'm located in Greensboro and am so torn About traveling out of state for this procedure but since there aren't many reviews for NC doctors I feel like I have no other choice. I will definitely be following your healing process. Can't wait to see more pics!

I am so glad you shared your results. I was looking to go out of the country for a bbl but so was scared. Miami doesn't seem any safer. I am in Raleigh and I saw they had a special but there was no pictures on the internet. Thanks again for sharing. I just got off the phone with Jodie and can't wait to see more before and after pictures.

You loom great. Would you say the body changes a lot over the weeks? At what point did you finally have your result? I'm only 15 days post op. When did you stop losing your booty/hips? Thx doll!

I had days when I loved it and hated it. The first 4 to 6 weeks were a love and hate. but as you can see in my before pics, my butt was really out of shape. After 6 weeks swelling was decreased and I did lose a little volume but the shape is turning out nicely!

Ok thanks for the info. I'm on the roller coaster right now. October 30th will be 6 weeks for me. Pre op my right cheek/hip were smaller and still are even though he injected more fat. I hope by 6 weeks they will even out. Hell, I had no hips to begin with. How much did you get injected? In your pics your booty and hips look big.

It should even out. I had wide hips already, most of it was created by the illusion of my contoured waist. I never asked him how much cc's he injected since I was pleased with the size.
