LIPO JOURNEY
ORIGINAL POST
Just booked lipo & BBL, y’all!

$4,700
Hey guy, I’m new to this community, but I’ve done a fair amount of research to make sure I booked with a board certified plastic surgeon. Here to connect with like minds & help by documenting my journey via RS app & any of my social media accounts for more info. Use the same username to find them. I’m interested in this procedure for similar body types. These before pics are of me before I did a competition and after.
That process was horrible for my mental health so I am cheating a little plus boosting my confidence without so much work. My main insecurities are my hips that lack curve for my taste. It’s not enough of an hourglass shape for me plus I want to go ahead & remove any fat cells in the included areas (abs, back, etc...). I will also remove from my arms & chin for an extra $1000 (making my overall surgery cost $5700 including the down payment) while I’m there.
I will hear back from Melissa when she returns to work on Monday to book the recovery room & travel. Then the pre-op coordinator will reach out this week for further instructions.
My plan is to prep for the surgery then start working out again once I am far enough along in the recovery process to do so. I hope this is helpful & look forward to your feedback!

Communication
MrssmartleyMarch 21, 2018
So far, once Melissa had my deposit she stopped pursuing communication. She did tell me that the pre-op department was going to contact me, but I still had more questions. As you can see in the email traffic, they are riddled with errors. I ended up playing phone before finally speaking to her again as well as Karla, the pre-op coordinator & Dr assistant. She explained to me that she had emailed me, but for some reason I didn’t receive them in my inbox. They were hiding in my spam folder. Ugh. I finally filled out the medical questionnaire and have scheduled my local doctor appointment where I will bring the prep instructions with me so we can take care of everything else due before surgery. They have yet to ask for my before or wish pics.

Hello I read your review I didn't see when you are planning on having your surgery. And to all the people considering going to Jolie's PLEASE KEEP UP WITH ALL EMAILS AND RECEIPTS THE STAFF SEEM TO FORGET WHEN YOU GET THERE. AND GET A COPY OF YOUR LAB WORK, AND CLEARANCE FORM. FROM YOUR PCP IN CASE JOLIE'S SAY THAT DIDN'T RECEIVE IT.

Mrssmartley congrats on your new journey and please come back with your review of Dr. Kagen work. Not sure when you are thinking about going, but I will not be going until later in the year. I'm not sure just yet who will do my surgery.
March 26, 2018

Hello Mssmartley how r you doing??? I know you are very excited about your up coming surgery good luck and I look forward to your review. Everyone’s body type is different. Hopefully you will be very pleased with your results keep in touch and I will do the same once I have my surgery!!!!!
April 12, 2018
Great!! I would love to hear about your new updates. I have a friend that is going to Dr. Valls soon. She's so excited to the point she has a calendar right above her bed . Everyday she mark out the current day. I'm guessing it's count down time for her. She will be leaving sometime in May 2018.........
April 12, 2018
I see you have some updates to give. I will log on to see if I can catch you on the website around the same time I'm on the web. We keep missing each other.
April 12, 2018
Not sure why some Kdolls are only posting in a form of an email. I would like to see before and after shot and form my own opinion will follow up questions. But I'm sooooo happy for you I hope and pray you get the body you want.
April 12, 2018
oh yeah, I guess I’ll be the 1st one maybe? I noticed that too, but I did like what I was given. I think I’ll post the SS from those emails as well:)
April 12, 2018

Packing list

This is an update to the last one on Jolie’s communication. I’ve uploaded the screenshots when I have reached out via email to no avail. They operate mainly on phones, but as you can see I have requested email documentation because I’m waiting on a new battery for my iPhone. Meanwhile, I cannot be notified of calls until I look at my phone; it doesn’t ring. I finally spoke with Karla again today because she was told that I called about massages which I hadn’t, but I reminded her to email me the provided list immediately. Little do they know, I’m sharing this entire experience via reviews & video. I also wasn’t old that I’d be introduced to a new person (Anyelin). I have no problems with her, but I wish the previous staff I’ve been in contact would give me a heads up. She seems to understand my preference of communication too. We’re pretty brave for booking with Dr. Kagan on the circumstances that there is only one BBL review without pics. I hope to discuss the ones shared via email with him as well as provide my own. I hope this is helpful. Attached is the email traffic. They still have not asked me for any wish pics. I will provide my current pics in my next update.

I completely agree. However if you Google him. He actually has his own practice. He is pretty talented and seems to know what he's doing. I've done some research on him. And yes, he's had some complaints but not at all super serious. Any surgeon is going to have those few patients that are going to complain. Im excited for you and can not wait to see your results. What all are you getting done?
