I was not born with the body type I wanted, I...

I was not born with the body type I wanted, I gained all my weight in my stomach, but wanted an hourglass figure. If I lost weight, I would lose any curves I had when I was bigger. I decided to have a BBL on 1/9/14, which improved my body tremendously, but due to limits on how much fat can be lipoed at once, I still did not quite have what I was looking for. Seeing how great the results were from the first procedure, I decided to do it a second time to transfer all the rest of my fat left from the first time. Basically from the second I woke up, I knew I had finally gotten the body I've always wanted. Doing this has changed my life in ways that I never even realized it would. The confidence and happiness I feel daily now because I feel good about myself and love my body are absolutely priceless. The healing process can be tough, but it is worth it. Since I invested so much effort and money into this, I was sure to do it right, I did not sit for 3 weeks after the surgery, wore the body suit everyday for the whole 8 weeks, and never sat without a pillow (as most people do on this site, I recommend the Boppy pillow), I even used a donut when going to the bathroom for 8 weeks! It seems that almost all of the fat I have had transferred survived, I measure myself daily and only lost 1-2 inches in the first 3-4 weeks after the procedure each time which was probably just the swelling. I would recommend this to anybody really, and have already given out information to some people who are interested. Please note that the total cost I put above is for both procedures (2 Brazilian butt lifts). The main advice I can give from my situation is do not be discouraged after your first procedure if you have more fat than they can lipo in one sitting, with how much I needed to have transferred, it was going to take 2 times. Now that all the fat from other parts of my body is in my butt, I know this procedure was worth it and then some! I would have done it 3 or even 4 more times if I needed it. I am so excited to enjoy my body for the rest of my life.

I thank Dr. Rao daily whenever someone compliments me for giving me a body I can now truly love! He is great, his staff is great, everyone is very nice and accommodating. He was realistic with what I could expect and really delivered on what I was looking for. I was always more focused on the science of getting what I wanted from these procedures, but I have seen after the procedure how important the artistry is when it comes to body sculpting, and Dr. Rao is the da Vinci of BBL's! I could never thank him enough for opening my life up to such joy, so hopefully this review and the people I recommend to go to him will help.
