Consultation Review: Went for a BBL consultation with Dr. Hedden in Birmingham, AL

Went for a BBL consultation with Dr. Hedden in Birmingham, AL

$9,500
Dr Hedden performed my breast argument several years ago and did a fantastic job so I thought to reach out and have a consultation with him as his social media shows his bbl work and it appeared to be good! My appt was at 11:15 I believe I was finally seen around 1:45. He was running way behind. When he came in he apologized and jumped right into the consultation. After him looking at my body and me showing him my wish pics he said I was a good candidate however he does not perform intense lipo on the abdomen which was something I wanted. He again seemed rushed so a lot of questions I had thought of to ask I suddenly forgot. I got the price and to do everything I waned the total would have been $9500. How his pricing was explained to me was it’s $6800 for the lipo to the upper and lower back and flanks. Each additional area was $900. In my case I wanted upper and lower abdomen. So another $1800 and arms another $900. This does not include garments or massages or anything. Also if you don’t have cash or debit card there will be an additional fee for cc or financing. I believe it was an addition 20% on top of the total. I think for what I want if I couldn’t pay in cash it would have been a little over $13k. Something that caught me off guard was that he said I could sit after 3 days. Every review I seen said other wise. I mentioned the massages and he said I could purchase them but he doesn’t recommend getting them until after two weeks which again is totally different from what I’ve been reading. So... I’ve decided not to go with him. Although he did great on my breast I just don’t feel like he is the right doctor for me when it comes to my bbl. Being close to home would have been ideal but with his prices and truly not thinking he can give me the body I want I’m going to have look elsewhere.

Thank you for your review. I did want to clarify somethings in your review that we went over. The reason in some cases you can’t be too aggressive on some tummy areas with liposuction is because they actually have looseness and by doing too aggressive liposuction in that area the patient then gets more looseness or bumpiness which makes the abdomen look worse. If you remember I even showed examples of this. So It’s not that we do not perform aggressive liposuction but rather we only do that on tummy’s that can tolerate it and unfortunately in your case it could not. Two other points When fat is transferred if it does not take and survive by 3-4 days then the fat will not survive so sitting day for or after does not effect the results of the fat surviving. As for the massaging the reason we say wait about two weeks is because it is uncomfortable for most patients prior to this as we mentioned. But think for a second if we allow you to start sitting a little sooner because now the fat has survived then this mild pressure is a form of light massaging but the pressure of sitting is more tolerated then getting an actual massage. So it’s a form of light massaging and shaping that is tolerated more by a patient then more aggressive massaging. So on the other side If a doctors tells you not to sit in a week but it’s ok to perform aggressive massaging which is more pressure it does not make since it’s contradictory. Lastly we offer a cash discounted price for cashiers check , cash, money orders. But when a patients uses financing some of the finance companies charge the practice almost 25% that’s why it cost more for financing options. Keep us posted on how you progress.
