Not worth it

I would not recommend Dr Aldea for a bbl or liposuction. To me he just took my money and really didn't do anything. I went in with the biggest concern on my stomach and flat butt. He ended up doing liposuction on my back and transferred like on pound of fat into each cheek. I read that most doctors over fill so when you lose fat you still have some left. The rolls in my back looked much better for a while but my back bothered me for over a year because he was so aggressive with the lipo. The fat in my butt went away in couple of months because the result I saw after surgery was mostly swelling. Don't get me wrong his care as a doctor was great but I feel like I paid over ten thousand with doctor fees a massages to still walk away with a big stomach and flat butt.

Not Happy With Results

When I first got my BBL in June I tried to be optimistic about the results and about how much I paid for my surgery. After many months now I realize going to this particular doctor was good and bad at the same time. I really chose him because he's a certified plastic surgeon and I wanted to be safe rather than sorry as far as my health was concerned. He was supposed to be doing my surgery in two stages because I carry most of my weight in my midsection so he did liposuction to my back first and was suppose to do my abdomen later and add a little more fat to my butt. I can see a difference because I had zero buttocks fat but not enough of a change for what I paid. The doctor was $6.300 for his services which included 2 garments and aftercare visits. The fee for the hospital room was 1700 hundred and my anesthesia fee was 1200 but they can change you more if your surgery ends up lasting longer than expected. So that's what happened to me and the anesthesia company sent me a bill for 400 dollars more. I still think the doctor is a great doctor as far as safety and aftercare but I would not recommend him for this particular procedure. It cost to much money to really have no results that others can see. I feel like I'm in the same place I started before my first surgery. I'm glad I wasn't botched but at the same time now I'm trying to find me another doctor for my abdomen lipo and BBL . I want to travel to Miami for the results and prices they are much more reasonable but I may still try to find another Memphis doctor it's a few more here that do BBL surgery I'm just undecided at this point. If anyone out there has had great results for a reasonable price please feel free to point me in the right direction.

My Bbl and Liposuction in Memphis

I researched several doctors in Memphis because I didn't want to travel out of time for my procedure. I liked the fact that Dr.Aldea was a board certified plastic surgeon so I made my appointment and went in for a consultation. Dr. Aldea took time with me and answered all my questions and eased my mind.I wanted lipo 360 and a BBL but once Dr Aldea examined me he explained to me that since I carry most of my weight in my midsection he would have to do my surgery in two parts to get the best result. So I had full back liposuction and a BBL on 6/25/20. I'm now a month out from my surgery and I'm very happy with my results.Dr. Aldea removed about 7 pounds of fat from my back and grafted 500cc of fat to each butt cheek which is about a pound each cheek. I'm still recovering from my surgery but my results so far are great. In about 6 to 9 months I plan on getting liposuction of my abdomen and more fat grafted to my butt. I really like the fact that Dr Aldea told me the truth about the results I was looking for.They can only remove so much fat at one time so I wouldn't have got the results I was looking for. Dr Aldea is a little more expensive than going to Miami or maybe somewhere else but I feel like he's well worth it. I had my surgery in a hospital and I felt safe I didn't feel like I was on an assembly line. So for anyone looking to have a BBL in Memphis I highly recommend Dr. Aldea.
