BBL for mom of 3!

ORIGINAL POST

BBL for mom of 3!

WORTH IT
Finally took the plunge and got my bbl after obsessively browsing through RS! Lol.
For reference, I'm 5 feet tall and weight before sx was between 136-138lbs. As of yesterday, I'm 137 lbs so my weight didn't change. The doctor mentioned he took out 5 liters of fat! Wheewww child, imagine that in 2 liter coke bottles! Crazy.
I had already typed out a long detailed review about the actual surgery and lost it after accidentally closing out the app lol.
Basically, I traveled 2 and a half hours to have my bbl done by Dr Franco. (hence the inflatable mattress I posted a pic of - totally worth every penny!!!).
Anyway, Dr Franco is amazing and totally love his personality - he made me feel comfortable and at ease. My virtual visits and my pre-op were both with him (not assistants or anyone else - I liked that) and he gave me full attention and the visits did not seem at all rushed. He visited with me again right before sx to mark me up and again asked if I had any questions or concerns. His office staff is super sweet and friendly as well - everyone responds quickly. The first days after surgery were rough, both physically and mentally. I cried a week in, because it was hard having to depend on my husband so much when I'm so used to doing things for myself and driving myself around.
I sure can't wait to be completely healed & see final results! I'm happy with my results so far and I can say it has been a heck of a journey so far but totally worth it!!!
Good luck to the rest of you going through the same journey and happy healing!!! :)

I can totally relate to your experience. Recovering from a bbl is not a cake walk! You are looking good so far, it will only get better. Hang in there!
Thank you!!! I am beyond anxious to be able to sleep on my back again! Lol :)
Can you tell me how much this cost you? I'm considering having it done by this doctor. Thanks! and you look amazing!
I am also looking for a good doctor in Texas, what was the cost? Thanks. :-)
Dr. Franco is 8,925$ for Lipo 360/BBL! Hes my doctor as well :)
Dr. Sergio Alvarez Mia Aesthetics has an office now in Austin. Super excited I have bbl #2 with him. He will focuse on my upper back, thighs, chin, arms. They also have other surgeons who do bbl, BA, etc at the Austin location. I drove there last week for my consultation. My surgery is scheduled for 11/11/20. I can't wait! I may have to gain a little more weight he said I may not have enough fat.. I don't won't to gain anymore weight though.
You look so good!!! How are you doing now?
