I am scheduled for my surgery in a few days with Mendieta. I have had a very good experience so far with everyone. The Doctor is fast at his consults but I got all my questions answered. I also asked to see him again on the day of my pre op. I dealt with Viana who is very nice and explains everything to you very good. I have received emails and phone calls back right away. But I really had my questions answered with the consultation. I will post my review after the surgery and keep you guys updated with my recovery.

You look augh-mayzing!!!! I have a video consultation with Mendieta tomorrow. I am strongly leaning towards him even though I'd rather stay local. He did an awesome job on you. Please keep up posted on your journey :-)

Thank you so far i love my results. Hope the booty fat stays lol. Oh awesome! Yes he’s really nice and knows what he is doing. I live locally so it wasn’t to bad but a little more than an hour away. I don’t know where he took the fat out from me but he did and have me some volume. Still would have wanted bigger but I can’t be greedy and I’m thinking about implants maybe next year. He suggested that for me but i wanted to start with this first. I will keep Updating with pics in clothes now because I’m ready to go out for a little while at least lol.

Your before picture is gorgeous (I have not yet read forward) so I'm guessing you will be over perfect after BBL!

Your bras seem very nice in these pictures, would you happen to remember the brand?

Dr Mendieta Knows What He is Doing!

I’m 2 days post op and so far I am in love with my results. So to start with I really didn’t have a lot of fat so he was very realistic with me and that’s exactly what I wanted. He asked me to gain some weight but it was really hard for me but I think I managed a few pounds. Well he worked his magic and so far I love it. His staff is super nice and I had a very good experience. Always returned my calls and answered all my questions. The best advice I can give is to be realistic and that there is no way your Surgeon can make you look exactly like someone else. There is only one you and everybodies body is different.

Im doing really good. I don’t have pain It’s only uncomfrtsble when I take the faja off. I’m taking arnica pills and my bf massaged me yesterday with the arnica gel. Obviously I’m still swollen. I got one massage and I’ll probablh get another one this Friday. I don’t have drains so that is a plus. I haven’t gone to the bathroom
But it’s normal. I took a stool softener last night hasn’t worked yet lol. The hardest thing is the sleeping situation and not sitting everything else is nothing at least for me.

Looks great , where did he take your fat from ? That is one of my concerns.

Thanks, he did lipo 360 so all around like my stomach and back also a little from my inner thighs and knees. I didn’t have much fat so he got what he could.

You look great , Thank you for the reply . Are you happy with your results ?

How long was your recovery ?
User Avatar
April 13, 2019
Thanks and really I would have liked a. Bigger butt. It’s a little better than before but not much. I knew I didn’t have a lot of fat so it was going to be limited. I think this procedure works really good for women with enough fat. Or if you have a. Very obvious lipo meaning that he gets every little fat that he can but then you risk getting lumps in your stomach. I might get butt implants next year. I’m I only 9 welds post op and my lower back Is still numb, I’m pretty much back to normal. I started sitting around 7 weeks without the pillow. At the beginning I didn’t sit at all. Lots of knee time lol. So I would say your pretty much back to normal at 8 weeks. My healing was not bad at all and If I decide to do implants In the future I would for sure. I really didn’t have any pain whatsoever.

7 Day Post Op Update

User Avatar
glam girl
I went for my 2nd post op appt and everything looked good. I explained to her that I was really tired so she checked my hemogoblin and it was a little low so she said that was the reason. She said take iron pills three times a day plus eat every three hours. As soon as I left there I ate took iron pills and I’m feeling myself again. Eat even if your not hungry which it might happen because thats exactly what happen to me I was not in the mood to eat Anything. Today is exactly 7 days since my surgery and I feel really good. Car rides suck though lol. No pain whatsoever. And the nurse said I only have a very tiny amount of fluid left right by the pubic area. Sleeping is a mission too. I think for me not laying on my back is the worse of all this. I started using my bbl pillow today and I can only sit for like 10 minutes at a time. For me walking around is the best. If you have any tips or suggestions for me let me know :)

You look great! I hope that you are healing well. Did you get your abs etched, too? I really like how they turned out!
User Avatar
February 18, 2019
Hey! Thank you very much and yes I did get the abs etched too. He does a great job. I’m not in any pain whatsoever. Still doing massages but not draining really hardly anything. He didn’t give me drains. I just hate the sleeping situation. I basically live on my knees now. I have school work to do online and I just get on my knees after my neck gets sore lol. I eat standing up too. You just have to get creative. And time will pass before you know it

you are going to turn heads at the gym. you look amazing!

February 18, 2019
Haha I hope! I can’t wait to go back to the gym and lift. But it’s still a little ways away I would of liked more butt but he can only work with what he has which was not a lot of fat. I don’t even know how much he was able to get. I keep forgetting to ask. Maybe I see butt implants in the future for me lol ;) let’s wait a year and see what this booty does. Are ok getting something done or did you get something done?
February 18, 2019
I'm getting a tummy tuck with a bbl. I'm thinking about going to Mendieta so your post is extremely inspiring and informative. Happy healing love and hopefully we can stay connected!

Oh your in good hands if you choose him I’m glad m ale to help because before and even now after surgery I was addicted to this site and it was very helpful to me. Stay in touch and let me know what you decide. I would love to follow your journey.
February 18, 2019
you look awesome! did you find that you had to take a lot of pain meds after?
User Avatar
February 18, 2019
Not at all. My pain was just like soreness from a very hard workout. I took the pain meds about 2-3 days after surgery only and I did it mainly to just take the edge off and since you have to lay around all day on your belly. I took 5 pains pills in total because I just counted what I had left out of the 30 he prescribed. I just found out he took 2800cc out of me which blew my mind and put 1000 in each side. Remember he can only put what your butt can take as far as elasticity.
February 18, 2019
Okay that's good to know! I wanted to refrain from taking too many pain meds. Thank you for your quick response! I have surgery with him on March 3. And tbh, I want a more natural look like yours! It looks big but also proportionate! I've seen some of Dr. Fisher's girls/Salama's and I just can't with the disproportion. Did you take a lot of wish pics?
User Avatar
February 18, 2019
So the coordinador asked me to email her my wish pics which were like maybe 7. I didn’t go crazy I’m realistic and I know the wish pic pictures is not my body so I’ll never look exactly like that. But we strive for closeness. In my opinion that’s the best way to go Into this or you’ll be disappointed and say he didn’t do a good job. I liked he was very realistic with me and I knew I wasn’t going to have a Kardashian’s butt lol. I wanted be a better version of me and correct a few things that even working out 6 days a week at the gym was not going to correct. Believe me I put my time in at the gym every single day but I also have a life lol and have a little fun every once in a while In moderation. Anyways she had all the pictures printed out for me When I went for pre op but they only allow three in your chart so choose wisely. And she will help you too. I chose Mendieta for his experience and because I felt he knows how to sculpt the body. Im small as you can see and I was going to look silly with a big butt. I wanted to toned look because I’m doing to go back to the gym and lift heavy.

Oh if you are not in pain don’t take them unless you have pain you can’t handle. If your small I think you will be fine. When you have a lot of fluid that’s when you hear about the girls being in a lot of pain. Are you just having bbl/lipo360? Oh I didn’t like fisher and I think Salama had a death. I was in between Mendieta or Palladino but preferred a private office. Not a clinic
February 18, 2019
Yes just having BBL lipo 360. I'm not too big 5'4 around 145 lbs. I'm nervous but excited, probably normal feelings. My coordinator hasn't asked for wish pics. I will have to just email her some and definitely will bring them day of pre-op. What was it like waking up from surgery? Were you in a lot of pain and cold? Also who did your massages? You may have mentioned that before in a post so I"m sorry for repeat questions! Are you local or did you fly in? I'm coming from Delray Beach with my sister in law having surgery the same day with him, too.

Nervous is normal I was too but so excited at the same time. You are in great hands believe me. Don’t wait for her to ask you for wish pics. You ask all the questions you want because that’s what they are there for. I was fortunate my coordinador asked me for mine. I was 5’2 and about 133. Now I don’t know how much I weigh and I really don’t care lol. When I woke up from surgery I was fine I really didn’t have pain or nausea. And I wasn’t even cold. The irse was like you fiancé is outside waiting for you already and I was like omg that was fast. But I’m Always like that when I get out of surgery. I’ve had three so far. Everybody is different but for me It was not bad at all. I live in Ft Lauderdale so it’s an hour drive with no traffic. When I went for post op it took two hours to get there. Talk about a car ride from hell lol. I have a Lady that comes to me and she might go to Delray. She charges $90 which is it bad for and hour. If you want I can give you her number an you can text her.

I emailed you her Info. Where in Miami are you staying? Good traffic won’t be bad. My mom lives there but i didn’t let anyone know about my surgery until the day after lol. So I had to come back to Ft Lauderdale.

Oh so excited for you. You are in good hands. He’s a great doctor and I love everyone in the office. I talk a lot so I talk to all of them and they are Super nice. Never had an issue with anyone. For post op I had both nurse Norma and Claudia and both super nice. Try his coffee machine it’s the best!!!! Recovery is not thrilling but t least for me it want that bad. Im trying to start driving with bbl pilllow in the next few days. I hate having to depend on my fiancé to take me to massages and those you do need and are important.
