BBL for an over 40 Year Old #BBL #OVER40BBL

ORIGINAL POST

Am I Too Old for a BBL?

WORTH IT$4,150
Hi,
I'm in my mid 40's with 2 kids and 1 husband(LOL) ! I've been considering a BBL for about 10 years. I just never followed through! Well, now I'm ready!! I've put down my deposit and I have a surgery date (July 2019), but I'm wondering... Have I waited too long, am I too old for a Brazilian Butt Lift? Are you over 40 and have had a BBL?

I had my first bbl at age 40 and am getting ready for round 2 at age 41. You’re definitely not too old. I love my new booty!

I am 42 and I'm scheduled for October! I understand how you feel. I had to decide if getting it would make me feel on the outside how I feel on the inside.

Omg! Thank you for responding! I turned 46 Friday and I was still having doubts! I'm going to do it, I know I won't regret it!!!
May 20, 2019
Definitely won't regret it! My only regret has been that I have put it off. I sat back and really thought about it and decided I'm regretting not doing more than I will regret doing it!

I’m 41 and I just had my bbl in May. I was worried but everything worked out just fine.

BBL for an over 40 Year Old..

Mirrorslayer
Welp!
Originally I wanted to schedule with Pure Plastic Surgery. They sent me a quote, I emailed them back to see what was included in the pricing. I don't know how, I ended up being contacted by Avana! Through them I was able to book Dr. Earle. The communication with Avana has been off to say the least! It's very discouraging! I'm really nervous and would like more feedback when I ask questions. 
I was able to reach Dr. Earle through IG, he responded immediately! He does great work and seems to care about his patients. I look forward to meeting him! 
I guess my main question is still about the difference between Avana vs Pure Plastic Surgery pricing and what's offered by Dr. Earle....
When I booked with Avana my price was $4160, with 2 free massages, nothing else. I later saw that Pure was offering a BBL for $4200 with a free garment, 4 foams, 1 board and 3 massages. I've been told how expensive it gets during pre-admisson(having to buy foams, boards, another garment, drug test, etc). I wish that I could switch to Pure, but I've paid my deposit and booked my surgery date.... Any who, will post preop pictures soon!

I will keep you up to date. Let me know what you decide

I already paid my deposit for lipo 360 with pure for August 12. But I’m thinking of going with avana because they have earlier dates. But thanks for this insight.

Dr Karaaltin is the best. I would recommend you to contact him. My results were amazing.
July 26, 2019
Dr Karaaltin is much cheaper contact him. With that price you can have BBL and something else.

I'm officially days away from my BBL with Dr. Earle! I'm 46 and nervous as heck! All my labs came back fine(Yay)! I know that Dr. Earle will do a great job, I don't know why I'm nervous as heck though! Just tired of being shaped like Spongebob!
Has anyone purchased a good BBL pillow, foams and boards, if so where? I have compression socks, Arnica pills and gel, maxi dresses, bed pads(to protect the sheets from blood/drainage), a small urinal, wipes, dial soap(antibacterial), alcohol pads, q tips, and neosporin. Do you have anymore suggestions as to what to add?

Thank you so much!

I’m 62 and considering a BBL. I must be crazy.
July 11, 2019
Absolutely positively not!! I realized if we're old enough to want it, we should do it!
July 11, 2019
You are so right
July 26, 2019
No you are not!

Exactly people see what you feed them, if anybody criticizes it’s because they are jealous & can’t do what you are doing. If the comment comes from a significant other, that shows their insecure . Our 40s is the new 20s.

I am 44 and still want one please post pics!
July 12, 2019
I will!!!
July 13, 2019
Did you have it yet?
July 13, 2019
FYI Dr. Earle will not do Lipo/BBL on anyone over 55.
