Chicago BBL

Chicago BBL

$10,500
I’ve been thinking about getting a BBL for a couple of years now and I finally decided to do it because I saved up some money. Now I’m not somebody who’s never worked out I just feel like I can’t get the body I want no matter what I do. I plan to continue to work out after this I just want a couple of changes. I’ve never had a bubble butt or flat stomach no matter what I did and that’s all I really want right now. Hopefully this procedure can give me some confidence and motivation to continue to work out.

Hey! I'm in the same boat. I know Shifrin charges $100 for consultation which goes toward ur actually surgery. I scheduled a consultation w him but rescheduled at the last min. Let me know how things turn out for u

I scheduled one with him too and never actually got to talk to him! he’s so busy so they offered for me to talk to his assistant / doctor instead for free. Not really what i wanted but to be honest I don’t care. Shifrin is the one doing surgery anyway is what I was told and I’ll see him in the preop room. My consultation ended up being free.

Pre Op Appointment

Alexandraj28
So as of now I’ve had my two preop appointments and my surgery is scheduled for the 29th of this month!
1. To see Shifrin you need to pay 100$ fee, I agreed to pay and then they called me and asked if I’d be willing to see his associate / partner for free because Shifrin is really busy. I was told Shifrin would still be the one doing the surgery. I agreed because honestly as long as he’s the one doing it I don’t really care who I speak to.
2. The total length of time for each appointment with waiting time was about 2 hours
3. His assistant doctor, is very professional and friendly. All the staff is very welcoming overall.
4. The advice they gave me was professional and realistic. I asked about my arms being liposuctioned too and he just straight up told me “no” because it wasn’t enough fat ???? which i can agree with. I previously had a different consultation and when I asked about my arms he was just like “ yeah yeah sure what ever” no professional opinion whatsoever.
5. We had a normal comfortable conversation about what I want and my expectations and possibilities. I’ll be going for a tiny waist, some more hips, and a more heart shaped bubble butt.

Overall good experience with this office.
I went to another consultation before this one with a different doctor in Chicago and he straight up rolled his eyes at me during my Consultation and avoided answering questions unless I asked them 3 or more times like he was better than me or something. Talk about horrible first experience, I left that first consultation refusing to even shake his hand.
