So for years, I have been dreaming about having a big booty. I had a breast reduction several years ago and remember thinking about how all that fat went to waste! I should have been able to just move it around. Now, look where time and patience will get you! I have been prowling sites and butts for months. I didn't think I would be ready for a profile this soon, but like Two Chains says, "All I want for my birthday is a big booty...!" You know the rest! Well, that's all I want for my birthday too. I just want the big booty on me, without the explicative. So, I am on a mad dash to get this done by year's end. I'm almost 35, 155 pounds, almost 5'4 and pregnancy was not nice to me in my twenties. I went from 135-193, gained way too much weight and got way too many stretch marks. :(

Needless to say it is a confidence killer. Sex in the dark or the dim...babydoll tops...no swimwear, long shirts that cover your bum. Jeans tight enough to hug what you have, but loose or stretchy enough to not squeeze your muffin top. I'm an apple shape, so I where a lot of layers and cute jackets. Lawd, I just want to wake up and not give two [RS bleep] about what I can wear, it's taking over my life. So, like everything else in life...if you don't like it change it. Basically, I called Credit Care and got pre-approved for some funds. I also have a Plan B as a second option. I knew I wanted this, but it wasn't until I this morning, when I burned it into my mind that this procedure is not optional for me.

As far as docs, I am looking at Jimerson, Salama, and Azurin. They all have pros and cons and look to be hit or miss at times. Jimerson is consistently Georgia Peach shaped...Salama's always starts off Spongebob-ish and you pray it all falls in place in a few months, and Azurin's are always fluffy teardrops and heartshaped...but I have a lot of lip area and I want it all gone and I am not sure how aggressive he is willing to be to get it out.

Needless to say, I called all three offices today and sent my pics to two. Dr. J, if you don't make sure your phones are manned you are going to miss out. I have called there three times and can not get an appt setter on the line. I just want the email addy to where to send these pics for a virtual consult. Sheesh! Anyway, I took the pics and some things looked better than I thought and some things looked way worse. Needless to say, a TT may be in order, but I am not on that right now. I just want lipo and a BBL. So, I am officially initiating myself into the BBL sisterhood, by putting these "neked" pics up here for the world to peruse with the hopes that something awesome will come of this in a few months.

I don't have 5-6 wish pics, the butt shape in the profile is the one I want. For now I have a goal to lose 10 pounds pre-surgery unless the doc says otherwise. That will put me at 145 pre-op and tight up that back/arms a bit. Ladies, I will keep you posted~

Ok, I have submitted pics to all my docs, including Jimerson and I have started getting quotes in. Nancy with Dr. Salama sent me an email saying I was a good candidate and he could do it for around $7800. I see now this is the hard part, deciding who to give your hard earned money to for a non-refundable deposit. I have a phone consult with Dr. J in November, but hope to get this done by late December. So, I plan on making a decision by month's end. This feels really real now girls! Like, Dr. Salama...Thee Doctor Salama has laid eyes on my and my ladie parts and have given a green light. Now, I'm nervous. I am still leaning towards Dr. Azurin, just because I love his contouring, but I do need aggressive lipo. I just don't want a lumpy or boxy butt. I like my butt, like I like my weaves, good quality, no shedding, tight, long lasting, and no lumps, no humps, and no bumps! Lol! Later girls!

Email from Dr. Salama's Patient Coordinator, Nancy: "I hate to be the bearer of bad news but we are totally booked until June 2013, believe it or not. I would suggest picking the soonest day available for next year and I will put you on a list that I have of patients that want to have their surgeries moved up. In the event that someone cancels I will call you to move you up but if no one does at least you have a date secured. We are very busy and in a matter of two weeks an entire month gets full."

While I am not surprised...that is a long ways off and enough time to make me doubt myself and my doctor. I realize that while Dr. Salama probably has 10 great reviews for every 2 reviews with complications I read...and there have to be several others out there who just aren't subscribed to this site...good and bad, but seroma, holes, and lumps just freak me out. It only takes a handful of concerns like that to sway me. Grant it he gets a lot more work than other docs, so he will statistically have a higher margin of error...ehhh. I am impressed with him, but can't play with my health either. Let's see what Dr. Azurin comes back with.

On a side note: Dr. Salama must have dreams about asses and dollar bills. Like raindrops of buttcheeks and benjis falling from the sky, lol! That is a lot of ass to be around all day, esp when you are booked out a full year. Seriously, great for him. He found a niche in the market and capitalized on it. Golf Clap please~

hey! I came here from goldee's review. I see that you are doing a virtual consult with Dr. A. he was my doctor too! if you'd like , go to my review, there are some other girls who have commented and used him too.

Looking forward to your updates. I found Dr. A via a friend who went from square shape to having this big booty with curves. I was so amazed by the results that I researched him and found his website. This is where I got my inspiration for my TT. From there, I added lipo and BBL (lol). In essence, I got a whole lower body lift. I'm 19 days PO

Hey miamimom, thanks for the encouragement. He does great work. I just want to be able to get rid of my "stubborn belly fat" without a TT. I know Salama and Jimerson will suck the life out of it, but I am pretty particular about how I want my back to sway/swoop, esp since I essentially have no waistline right now, lol! So, I am eager to Dr. A's recommendations. Good luck on your post op recovery.

I think Dr. A is very aggressive with lipo. He is obsessed with leaving his patients with an hourglass body. This was one of the reasons I chose him.

In fact, he lipo'd the hell out of my sacrum /lower back for my BBL. This was to show more projection of my new booty without the need of 'overstuffing' my back end. This is one of his tricks. I'm of the opinion that Dr. J and Dr. A have the same technique of how they layer the fat and their fat filtering process (only the good fat is put back in). Dr. J , however, will leave you with a bigger booty and I've coined him the doctor you go to if you want the "Badonkadonk" lol. Azurin's booties are way smaller, more fit for your type of frame teardrop/heart with a sizeable projection.

It's all a matter of taste and which doctor fits your needs. Good luck skintight! welcome to the BBL sistahood! lol

What about Dr Perry or salzh... [RS bleep] can't member go to BRICKHOUSENY pg

Thanks QT, I will check them out again. I think this could go on forever if I don't pic a doc and stick with them. There are definately a cream of the crop group of docs to choose from. It just really depends on if you want fullness, contouring, projection, and how you want your but shaped based on your body profile.

skintight I called in August and they were going to give me an appointment the end of October NOT!!! I told her that I needed to have surgery in December while I'm on leave from work...so she put me on hold and came back with a consultation for September 6 we played phone tag the day of my consultation. You definitely have to keep the phone in your hand. After my consult I scheduled surgery for 29 Nov with preop on 28 Nov. Good Luck ~!
