I will be seeing Dr. Grawe in Powell, OH next month for butt implants and fat grafting. We decided to do AART 548cc round implants on me with lipo to my flanks/upper & lower abdomen/upper & lower back and fat grafting to my hips!

I can't believe I'll be spending roughly $26,000 for my butt! From my BBL last year with Dr. Hughes (which was $9,500 not including travel/hotels and food) to my butt implants + fat grafting with Dr. Grawe next month. A part of me wishes I had done implants together when I had my BBL last year with but I didn't think I would keep losing fat passed the 6 month mark and a lot of it!
I did a few consultations with two other surgeons before deciding on Dr. Grawe. Both of them were in CA and well known butt surgeons. One suggested 450-460 Ovoids (oval-rounds) with no fat grafting and the other surgeon only uses 350cc or less butt implants. I wasn't too excited to hear both recommendations as I wanted something more dramatic that would turn heads, especially since I'm paying a pretty penny for a new behind lol. Currently my butt/hips measures around 37 inches right now, I want to be around 39-40inches post op with hips.

Dr. Grawe is amazing. I love her. Unfortunately I didn't find her in time to do my first surgery (butt implants) and that Doctor screwed me up. I did have her fix my implant and do Lipo and fat transfer and now unfortunately I will be seeing her again to remove my implants. She is an amazing Doctor though and worth the travel.

Hey girl, I'm sorry to hear about your complications *hugs* ...Is there a reason why you're removing them, infection?
April 25, 2016
The first doctor screwed me up on my right side so badly that it leaves me in constant pain. The implant sits so low and they are noticeable. I feel more self conscious now then I did before with a flat butt. I won't pay for anymore repair surgeries, so I've decided to just get rid of them.

I'm so sorry this is what scares me if you don't mind saying where did you get them done ? We're they board certified ? I'm really considering going to columbia

I got them done the first time in Cincinnati. The second surgery I got done to try to repair it was done with Dr. Grawe in Columbus and my recent surgery to remove the implants was also done with Dr. Grawe. Dr. Grawe is the most amazing surgeon! Truly she is incredible and she cares deeply about her patients and her work is incredible. I don't live in ohio anymore and I traveled back there just to see her.

And yes both Ohio surgeons are board certified. My first surgeon, Dr. Kurtzman is horrible! No one should ever go to him!

Dr Grawe did your butt implants surgery but remove them too? What went wrong ?
August 2, 2016
I'm so sorry that happened to you !! You just never know ! How's things now ? And I only hear great thgs about dr.grawe ! Do u know how much she charges for lipo alone to stomach n flanks

Sorry it has taken me so long, I don't sign in here much. Removing my implants was the BEST decision I've made. I'm so so so happy i did it. For me personally, they were so uncomfortable and if i sat for too long my my legs would start to feel tingly and numb. I felt more self conscious with them in, then before when my butt was flat. I'm all for lipo and injecting it into your butt. My butt retained a lot of the fat from the lip so when i got my implants removed, my butt is not as flat as it was before and i have a really nice shape. As far as cost, when she did my second procedure of taking just the right implant out, fixing the pocket and putting it back in and doing lipo of my flanks and injecting the fat into my butt- it was approx $5,500 (if i'm remembering correctly). Not sure how much of that was just the lipo cost.

AART Round implant sizes

Dr. Grawe was nice enough to link me to the AART implant website. Here's a screenshot of the available implants sizes they have for rounds. The biggest you can go before it turns into custom implants is 712cc.

They also have different oval shaped implants available. You can check them out on their website. Just do a search for AART implants online.

I'm excited you're getting that size! For some reason I had thought 548's were the largest size without going custom. I wish your surgery date were here sooner too because I'm excited to see your results and hear about your progress lol!

If your not a stomach sleeper. Get this!

M.A.T. Medical Therapy Body Positioning System

So I was reading a review from a girl who had a BBL done and she recommended this product. Now if you're like me, and your not a stomach sleeper then this is a must! I absolutely hated sleeping on my stomach for 6 weeks when I had my BBL!!! I had neck/ and back pain for weeks and I will not be putting myself through that again! LOL ..It's quite pricey but shop around and you'll be able to find it for less compared to other places. The lowest I found it for was $130 (cloth version) on AllegroMedical. They also had two reviews from girls who had a BBL which I thought was pretty cool and helpful. I am opting for the vinyl version as its easier to clean and I'll just put a sheet over it so its comfortable to lay on.

Other items I will be getting is a Reacher and a step stool. I will not be bending down for 2-3 weeks so this may come in handy when hubby isn't around or when I don't want to bug him lol. A step stool because I have a SUV and I remember how difficult it was for me to climb into the back to lay down after my BBL.

I will be getting a BBL Pillow/Booty Buddy once I'm ready to sit down.
