Finally back to the gym now. Waist training and trying to go back to my healthy eating habits. My body is still changing. Doctor said I can go back to normal activities. I love the results but I wish my butt was bigger. He took out 2800cc and put in 1000cc in each side.

Hi ! I’m booked for my surgery on April 13 with dr Mendieta. So scared !! Did you get drains? Did you get massages with Karen? How long did you wait until you got your first massage ? Thanks!!

Hi! Being scared is normal I was too. But your in good hands. So excited for you for your upcoming surgery.. I didn’t get drains but I know he does put them for Some women. Thank god! I didn’t get massages with Karen because I live in Ft Lauderdale and it was to far to go for massages. I went to another they recommended and was closer tio me. She did an awesome job. I had surgery on Saturday and had first massage on Monday. If I decide to do second round I would do it again. No questions asked.

Thanks!! The week prior to surgery were you taking supplements and if so... what? Did you take antibiotics at all? The consults with him are soooo brief and minimal it’s a little scary. What vitamins were you taking post op? Anything you felt helped move your recovery along? You look awesome and your experience seemed to be very easy! I hope I am as lucky!

Yes his consults are very brief everyone says the same thing. I asked to see him again before my surgery but I live locally although about an hour away. They didn’t have a problem with that. The week before surgery I was still taking the iron and vitamin c. I continued to take post op for like two weeks. Im not too much of a supplement taker. Antibiotics are a must for seven days. I have had other surgeries and they always prescribe them. Make sure you get massages. They help so much. Even though I got them when I went for post op the nurse had to take some of the fluid out with a syringe because she noticed I had some accumulated in my pubic area and between my boobs. For me personally my pain was minimal. It was sort of like a workout pain. The only thing that was annoying was going to the bathroom for number twos because you have to sit down but you have to make sure your not putting the pressure on your butt. Moving helped me not to become stiff. Make sure you eat because I became really tired a few days after and it was around the time of my post op and they did blood work and my hemoglobin was down. Thank you for your compliment. I hope your experience is as good as mine. Keep me posted. He’s very nice doctor. The girls are so sweet. He is just to the point

Hi love your results u look so good. I’m doing research for the best doctor in south florida for a lipo 360. Had my second baby 2 years and I workout and done a few diets but cant get rid of my little baby stomach. And is driving me crazy. Would u recommend her for this procedure ?
User Avatar
April 16, 2019
Hi thank you. Yes I would totally recommend him for this procedure. He is very good at what he does. I know how hard it is to loose that last little bit of fat in the mid section ugh lol.Definitely check him out. I would recommend going to his private office. That’s what I did
August 13, 2019
You look amazing I'm in the research stage but Dr Mendieta is at the top of my list. I'm just concerned about some bad reviews I saw. It's really hard to pick a doctor when they all have bad reviews somewhere...
User Avatar
August 13, 2019
Hi! Thank you! He is a very good doctor and yes they all have some reviews that are not so good but from my experience with Dr Mendieta you will be in good hands. When I started researching doctors I wasn’t even to worried about how I would look but rather being safe because of all the complications you hear about that you can have. I felt very safe with him because he’s been doing this for a very long time.

Hey guys, Wow 1 month already since my surgery. Seems like just yesterday lol. Measurements are 32-29-41. I am going to say I’m happy with the way my hips look but I wish my butt was bigger. I know I did not have a lot of fat so I was not going to get a huge butt so implants might be next year. Measurements have not changed much. I want my waist to be a 27 so I’m working on it. I ordered a new faja and Ab board from Contour Fajas and I wear it day and night. (My choice) doctors office said after a month it was my choice what I do. Still getting massages and I massage myself and what I think are my little little trouble spots daily because really I don’t have lumps or anything major. As for the office staff every time I call they call me back at the end of the day so I’ve had a very good experience with them. They have answered all my questions and are very polite. I go back to see doctor on the 22nd of March.

You are looking amazing!!! Which faja from contour fajas did you purchase and are you satisfied with their faja and customer service? How long do you plan to wear it? Thanks for the updates.
User Avatar
March 15, 2019
Thank you! I got the one with the suspender straps and hook closure in the front. I also got an Ab board and a waist trainer. Yes I love the faja so far. It was new to my size so it fit really good. I feel weird without it on now lol The customer service had been good so far too. They respond to emails or direct message on instagram. I want to wear it for at least three months. I’m wearing it day and night. I take it off if I’m going out for a couple hours but that’s not all the time. They advised not to wear the waist trainer until three months post op so I’m waiting to use it.

Does the faja have a built in bra? How long did it take you recieve it from the time that you placed the order?
User Avatar
March 15, 2019
No mine does not have the built in bra but I believe they have it with that and also with the arms. Since they make them to your size I ordered on 2/20 and received in 3/4.
March 15, 2019
Wow you look amazing! Did he Lipo your upper back and arms? Do you find his Lipo to be smooth and not lumpy?
User Avatar
March 16, 2019
Thanks! And he did lipo my back not doing the arms. So far mine is not lumpy. I think he did a good job with my Lipo. But I also still get a massage once.a week. I didn’t have much fat
March 16, 2019
Wow you look amazing
March 19, 2019
Did he lipo your abs? How did he determine where and how much fat he had to take out? I’ve been researching different doctors and he always pops up as a great doctor because of his great results. Thank you for sharing your journey!
User Avatar
March 19, 2019
I did ab etching with lipo 360 and fat transfer to the butt. In my case I didn’t have a lot of fat to take out. But with the lipo 360 they go all around. He was trying to take out as much as he could so he could put in butt. Depending on what you goals are and he can do is how he determines. He’s really good with bbl’s. He sculpts he body good. He’s fast in his consultations and some people don’t like that. But he answered all my questions and I asked to see him again at pre op and they scheduled it for me. I’ve had good communication with staff. They always return my call.
March 19, 2019
That’s great! Yes, I see in your before pictures you have great abs! But that’s coming from me that I have a love handle from my 2nd 10 pound child! Lol my fat is mostly there. I will definitely look into the ab etching with lipo 360. How much was the total procedure?
User Avatar
March 19, 2019
Oh wow 10 pounds! Well I’ve seen great results from girls that have enough fat. I tried gaining weight but I don’t gain weight easily and I tried lol I was drinking a mass gainer and eating really bad. I think I gained a couple pounds. They get a really small waist and wide hips. I’m just wanting to go back to the gym so I can tone up. I haven’t been since a few months before procedure. The total that I paid was $7200 including Ab etching

Wanted to share some pictures for a quick update. As you can see I don’t have a huge booty but it has improved. Still think Implants are in my future. Started with new massage person today and I am
Really happy I found her. Was recommended by Dr Mendietas office. At least for me the massages are extremely important so I’ve been trying to find someone that knows what they are doing. Still waiting on new faja and can’t wait to start wearing it!

Girl your body looks sooo great. Especially for only 16 days post op Why didn’t mendieta put drains in? Do you have to wear those lipo foam pad things under your faja? I’m gonna be 30 day don’t next week. I might have to send in wish pics to the coordinator. Do you think sending in wish pics even makes a difference?
User Avatar
February 27, 2019
Thank you! I have been healing well thank god. I have no idea why he didn’t. The nurse says sometimes he doesn’t find the need to. No I don’t wear the foam things because I had the Ab etching done. I ordered a faja which I’m anxiously waiting for. Im till wearing the one they gave me after surgery day and night but I want more compression. Yes send your wish pics in and make sure they put them in your chart. And make sure when he is marking you that you tell him they are there and to look at them. When he was marking me I mentioned them and he looked at them. They only allow I think three wish pics in your chart. Are you excited about getting surgery? I was so excited before I did it and nervous too lol and i didn’t tell any of my family. Get a good person to do your massages they are needed. I’m till going to do about 10 more
February 27, 2019
Well that’s good. You are probably lucky you didn’t get the drains..did you buy an extra faja from them? I feel I’m going to. I can imagine I’m going to want to take that one they first give you off often so I can wash it. I figure it would be more convenient to have another one to put on immediately. Yes. I’ll def be sure to send my wish pics in, although I don’t know how realistic it is lol. I am sooo excited for surgery but scared at the same time. It felt soo far away but now the time is coming quick lol.for for while I’m in Miami I have been looking into my body contour 305. I have read amazing things about her.
User Avatar
February 27, 2019
Yes I think so because I hear they are annoying. I didn’t get an extra faja from them because she have me a medium and said I would need a small once swelling went down. So since I had some Massages done here at home I would wash it when I was doing that and also when I would shower and then just be without it on for like 30 minutes. I really want draining much or was like I see some girls in their fajas all bloody so I didn’t feel too yucky. I didn’t shower until Monday because my surgery was Saturday and the nurse said not to. I wouldn’t call their garment a faja it’s more like a post surgical garment so that’s why I need my faja to come already. Maybe order a faja ahead of time so you’ll have it once you fell swelling has gone down. I live in Ft Lauderdale and there is not many people who do this here that I know that are good. So Mendietas office recommended someone to me in Davie so I started driving over there to her. Even if you think they are not realistic send them because you might think they aren’t but he is the one doing the work. I wish I would have had more fat to put in my butt because I really wanted a bigger booty but I didn’t so maybe next year I’ll go back to him for implants. I don’t know of any other doctor around that is good with implants.

February 27, 2019
Oh and I have never heard of contour 305. Are they expensive? I’m paying $100 for massages now
February 27, 2019
Ok that makes sense. I was looking into buying a faja but I was looking at a bunch of different ones and have no idea which type to get it where to get it from but it would be more practical to have that prepared. I know I’ll have enough fat for the surgery. The last few years has been easier to gain that in the past. However I know he can only take out and put so much back in. So I’m still hoping after all the swelling and everything by booty is the size I want. Honestly not sure about the prices but I think I read somewhere she charges but like 5 for 750. Seen some of her work in the YouTube videos I watched( and I’ve watched probably every YouTube bbl video/journey lol), she seemed the most experienced in the business.

Im hoping everything I eat just goes to my booty lol since he put the fat cells there. Yes I think 4 liters they can take out but also depends on how much each of your butt cheeks can take because of elasticity. He was explaining that in one video I saw he was doing. Your going to look amazing when he’s done. But are our worse critiques at lest I am and sometimes that’s not good lol because your never satisfied. Why I say about butt implants. I hope you let us follow your journey. I’ve found this site really helpful. I just can’t travel to Miami for massages so Monday I’m going back to another massage in Davie

Hey love thank you! I see you had your procedure done with same doctor? How was your experience. I love your Ab etching too. Did it stay like that after time went by? Do you like your results? I wish my butt would be bigger but l knew I didn’t have enough fat lol. He advised on butt implants with Lipo but i wanted to do this first and see so I might do that a year from now. Let’s see if I can grow it some more now that some fat cells are back there. I’m only 1 month post op and so far I’m happy. I’m still getting massages and I give myself massages daily and wear a faja I ordered with an Ab board everyday and night because it’s my choice. His office said I didn’t have to wear garment anymore. I had Lipo on my inner thigh but that’s the one thing that doesn’t look lol it had any done lol. Although it was bruised so I know he did..
March 10, 2019
Ah thanks! The etching looks good some days and others not really, I’m not sure if it’s just still swollen or what though... I love my results other than I wish my butt would have stayed bigger. He advised me to go bigger but I was afraid of having it look “fake.” I just inboxed his office about a revision, I’ll probably go bigger, and also I’m pretty much 99% sure fat was added to one hip but not the other... so definitely need to even that out... lol . I wore the garment until the soreness wasn’t too bad without it on. They never told me to use in abdominal board, so I never did. Although I wore a foam triangle for about two weeks.
User Avatar
March 11, 2019
They never told me to use an Ab board either but I ordered one with my faja. I wore the triangle thing but it was for two weeks on my back though. I guess it’s different for every patient. Do you think they will do the revision? I hope they do if they didn’t do what they were supposed to the first time. How long do you have to wait for a revision? I wish I would have had more fat to have it transferred but I didn’t. That’s why next year I might go to him or someone else for butt implants. My soreness wasn’t bad at all just like a hard workout. I like my Ab etching so far
