How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Skinny BBL to Slim Thick BBL
Hello All,
This is a continuation of my initial review with Dr. Torres at Skin & Skinnier and my weight gain journey in preparation of liposuction and fat grafting to hips and buttocks. I switched surgeons at the last minute (two months prior to surgery) due to a new Mia Aesthetics opening in my state and relatively close (30 minutes) away from the city I live in. I just felt that overall having the surgery done at home would be more convenient for me as I have two dogs and my mother was flying in to help with my recovery. Dr. Horowitz has been practicing in Maryland for the past 15 years and is a certified licensed plastic surgeon and recently joined the Mia Aesthetics team. Now, I'm aware of the negative connotations that Mia Aesthetics has especially in Miami however I decided to switch anyways as my surgeon had plenty of experience and was very confident in my body and how it would show results. I am currently three months post op as of yesterday and I feel wonderful. I am not fully sitting on my butt even though I am able but I'd rather be safe. I weighed 170 pounds at 5'5" prior to surgery and maintained that weight until now. I am planning to gain at least 10-15 pounds to solidify the weight in my hips and butt in addition to working out.
-Day of Surgery:
--The day of surgery I came in about 2 hours prior to my surgery and after getting my IV, met with Dr. Jeffrey Horowitz to mark me up and discuss my goals once more prior to surgery. I was already slightly hippy prior to surgery (hips were 40") however I wanted more hips with a sizeable shelf butt. Dr. Horowitz agreed and I walked into the surgery room and was immediately put under anesthesia. I woke up freezing and in a ridiculous amount of pain on my behind. I could barely form coherent sentences but the RN helped me to flip over and provided two tylenol to help with my pain at the time. I had a blood pressure cuff on my arm however I kept moving it when I was moving around trying to get comfortable on my stomach which was utterly impossible. My stomach and behind felt like it was on fire, however it was nothing compared to the cold I felt deep in my spirit (more than likely due to the anesthesia). Thankfully, the RN also provided me a small heater and blanket to help me. Finally my Mom arrived to pick me up and I had to get into the wheelchair, which was still painful. I'm not trying to deter you, because I love my results however you should definitely be aware of the pain that you will be signing up for. I took a Percocet in car with a pineapple juice mixture (pineapple, coconut water, and mango to help healing and hydration) and a few unsalted crackers. Getting out of the car was painful but I had purchased a walker so I knelt on the walker as my boyfriend wheeled me to my apartment. I got on the bed and passed out.
-Two Weeks Post Op
---You will be sore, you will not want to go anywhere, you won't have an appetite but please walk around, drink and eat whatever you can so that your body can heal.
