2 kids, 5'6, 127 lbs. Skinny BBL scheduled for June 12 with Dr. Hazani

WORTH IT$9,300
I'm in my late 30's, 5'6 tall 127 pounds with 2 kids. I've been thin my whole life and my body bounced back quickly at 32 after my first child, but when I had my second at 35, my midsection never looked the same despite working out 4 days/week and eating low carb most of the time.
I researched BBL for a few years now and narrowed it down to 2 surgeons in Beverly Hills (Hazani and William Rahal). Dr. Rahal's quote was significantly more than Hazani's ($16K vs. $9,300 - both combined with J Plasma/Renuvion skin tightening), probably because Rahal has a full staff to pay vs. Hazani who seems to operate with limited staff. Plus I noticed Dr. Rahal was looking at my ring and handbag when I was at the consult, he probably determined he could charge me that amount, which is unfortunate because I would've chosen him if his quote was not outrageously high. Ultimately I chose Dr. Hazani, not only because his quote was fair but he also has more years of experience and procedures performed, plus I trust his work. Since I'm not working right now (don't need to take time off work to recover) and heard Dr. Hazani just reopened after Covid19 closure, this would be a good time to go through with the surgery, which is scheduled for June 12th.
My primary concern is addressing my stomach and flanks, but if I'm going under anyway, might as well make use of the fat removed and transfer it to my butt :). My butt is not totally flat and I'm not into the look of super big butts and wide hips, but I have a bit of a dip on my hips and would like for my butt to look rounder overall. Since I don't have that much fat to use just from my waist, Dr. Hazani will also lipo my inner thighs.
I'm excited and nervous at the same time - 5 weeks to go! I'm also looking into aftercare for a couple of days post surgery since I have 2 little kids at home 24/7, I'm afraid they won't leave me alone to recover. If anyone knows of a good post surgery care/service to use in LA that's not crazy expensive, please share! Dr. Hazani suggested Pearl or Serenity, but said I might be better off staying at a hotel and hiring a nurse/physician's assistant to stay with me.

Hi! I'm also getting surgery by dr hazani I'm also petite. I'm 3 days away from surgery wish me luck!

Hi! I haven't had my surgery yet, it's scheduled for June 12th but Dr. Hazani posted on Instagram all his scheduled surgeries might be postponed/cancelled due to LA County extending the stay at home order indefinitely. I hope that's not the case but we'll see.

Oops just realized your message was intended for Cm331 who mentions she was scheduled for surgery 5/13.
Yes, please let us know how it went!

Hi! Unfortunately dr hazani canceled my surgery the day before I left he's not performing surgery right now due to covid 1.

Have you rescheduled? I am also thin and going ugh him in September itching to we everyone else's results!!

I am blown away by the cost of BBLs. I lived in the inland empire and had a BBL done with Dr. Panoja and paid 3500 and received amazing results and just visited him a second time less then a month so for a BL. Diff is a lot of people aren't willing to cross the boarder. I hope you get great results at wick recovery!

Yeah I know BBLs are a lot more in Beverly Hills vs. Mexico or even Miami but I don't want to travel that far after having surgery. Glad you're happy with your surgery!

A few years ago + wish pics

I was in pretty good shape a few years ago after my first baby, then my waist and midsection was stretched out so much after my second pregnancy and never retracted :(
Also posting my wish pics, as you can see I prefer a smaller, round booty and a snatched waist, but without the big hips. I’m small framed so big hips would look unnatural on me.

Surgery postponed to August 14
HapaMomof2May 21, 2020
Surgery postponed to August 14th due to Covid (also people giving him grief for still performing surgeries, and patients whose surgery dates were postponed during shutdown asking why he’s scheduling new surgeries ahead of theirs)... sigh. Dr. Hazani offered a refund of my $500 deposit or rescheduling to a later date in August, when he doesn’t foresee any issues with performing surgeries during that time. A part of me is wondering whether I should take the refund and schedule with another surgeon who is still performing surgeries in June (many of them are). June or July is the best time for me to recover from a BBL since I’m not working. I was planning to start working again in August when schools reopen (hopefully). However I can’t find any other surgeons in LA who can compare to Dr. Hazani’s quality of work, expertise (years experience/surgeries performed), and price. I know I do not want to pay $16K which was quoted by another surgeon! I think Hazani is worth waiting another 2 months for.

Following! We have the same stats but you already have a butt. My surgery is on 8/10 with Dr. Franco.

Following your journey too! Best of luck to you! I'm up to 130 now and will probably be 135 at the time of surgery. It's amazing how easy it is to gain weight during this time of a pandemic lol
