After a lifetime of research I’ve decided to have my surgery with Dr. Ghurani with Jolie Clinic.. I would appreciate tips from any of Ghurani or Jolie beautiful dolls! I’m 5’5, 145 lbs.. I will be traveling to Miami myself so I need a recovery house that’s decent and not crazy expensive.. Any recommendations would be appreciated! :)
P.S surgery buddies would be amazing too :)

Hey Doll! How did your surgery go? I see your'e 4 days post op. Hows it going?? Where did you recover at? I put my deposit down with Ghurani but haven't scheduled my date yet. I am really concerned about how your procedure went with this doctor. Was he good to you????
March 17, 2019
Hi girl my sx went well thank God.. I don’t know if you saw my updates about me switching to Dr Dowbak.. I’ve been super active on my surgery IG Page and not on RealSelf haha.. I recommend following me as it has all the info about my RH and post op pics.. I stayed with Paradise RH about 10 mins from New Life. Recovery has been a journey but I really love my results. Hope this helps :)

About 3 weeks to go!!

Omg I am a nervous wreck about this surgery! I think I know enough about Pulmonary Fat Embolism to last me a lifetime! I messaged Dr Ghurani on IG several times and he was able to put my mind at ease. He’s a wonderful person. I went for my labs and EKG yesterday! Hopefully my results are great and I can get my medical clearance so I can book my flight and RH and also start shopping for supplies. I didn’t wanna do any of that until I get my clearance.
This is going to be my surgery journal up until a month after surgery :) I’ll keep you all posted on my next steps..
Remain blessed!

Yes girl! What doctor are you going with? Ghurani?

February 19, 2019
Idk girl I am so confused cause I am traveling alone but it’s between Ghurani DowBak or Sampson lol are you getting nervous
February 19, 2019
Yeah I was so undecided about my surgeon too! I was stuck between Ghurani, Dowbak & Balgobin.. Dowbak is known to do about 9 surgeries a day which is a no no for me. Balgobin is quite pricey and some of his patients I spoke with said they’re not getting the desired results they wanted. Although, Ghurani had a patient who passed away 2 years ago, he’s been doing this for 19 years and that was his first death. They said the patient had some issues she didn’t disclose.. truth or not, I spoke with Ghurani and I just feel at ease with him. His IG page says a lot about him and he kept saying his patients are like daughters to him even when he didn’t know people like me are reading the comments Lol.. Anyway, that was how I made my decision:) .. I just leave the rest to God :)

You said it best !!! Leave it in Gods hands amen amen amen !!! See my family is not supportive so I’m praying and asking God for discernment on who to choose :) I’m coming from Portland you already in Miami
February 19, 2019
Girl I didn’t even tell any of my family members about it because I KNOW for a fact that they won’t be supportive.. Only person I told is my best friend who is a male, very supportive and not judgmental at all Lol.. God will tell you whom to go with, don’t worry! I’m traveling to Miami March 11th and will probably return 6 days after.

Yes girl!! We don’t need all that negativity while trying to get our minds right with the emotional roller coaster that naturally comes with the surgery Lol!

This comment really helps me! I was kind of skeptical about going to Jolie plastic surgery after seeing all the bad talk about eight deaths that happened there. Didn't know Dr. Ghurani killed two out the eight! I have already made my deposit to him. I really need to follow your journey. I want to see how everything turns out.

I noticed I haven’t posted any wish pictures:) I’m not super into butt projection. I just want a SUPER flat stomach, some hips and a very shapely hourglass figure.. No shelf or diaper booty Lol.. These wish pictures are of people with similar body type as mine (I think)

Hey girl, I'm scheduled for March 1st! It's crazy how fast comit's coming. I'm super excited, and of course nervous.
February 15, 2019
Hey girl your surgery is in a couple of days ahhhhhh!! I’m sure you’re excited! I saw your post about the supplies.. l’ll inbox you a link to BBL guide here on RealSelf. Who’s your doctor?
February 17, 2019
Dr. Rockmore in Albany NY. I am counting down the days. I'm very excited, and nervous. I have seen alot of post that the pain is tolerable, I'm praying that is true! Did you buy the booty been bag mattress? Mine came in the mail the other day. I cannot sleep on my stomach so for me this is a must!
February 19, 2019
Yeah I have a high tolerance for pain but I hope that’s enough to get me through recovery Lol I opted for the cell saver which is supposed to make recovery go smoother.. I didn’t buy the bean bag mattress but I’m definitely looking into ideas/products for sitting after a BBL because I too will go crazy laying on my stomach all day
