I am finally on the journey to do something to make me feel better about myself. I have always wondered what I could do to get my curves back and to make my booty plump. I finally started wearing butt pads, and then silicone butt pads so if my husband pat my butt it sounds like a real booty slap. I'm so tired of hiding aNd sneaking these pads. So my decision is to go with the bbl so I can be a thick chick like I use to be lol. Today I went for a consultation for something called TICKLE LIPO with fat transfer. With tickle lipo u are awake. Consultation went ok, but I felt unprepared bec I didn't hv a list of questions I should ask. Dr.Zelko was nice and told me that he would transfer 400 cc's to each cheek but I felt like that would not be enough. Also when I asked abt hips he sd he doesn't transfer to hips. STRIKE 1..that pretty much cancelled him bec hips is something that I really want as well. Pricing was decent but I am not sure if he would be able to achieve the look that I envisioned. He told me $4500 for lower back flanks sides and transfer to butt. When I asked abt pictures only ones the could show me was of the tummy tuck and tickle lipo. STRIKE 2..how can I trust that u hv the skills to contour a woman's body like I want.. I now have a consultation schedule for Dr.Shifrin 8/5. I've read good things on real self abt him.

Welcome and thanks so much for sharing your journey with us. Good luck with your consultations. It can take a while to find the right doctor, but if you do your research and have several consultations, you'll find someone you feel right with.

We have some great BBL guides that may help you with what to pack and other preparation needs. You should also check out the BBL forum for people going around the same time as you and just for support in general.

Good luck and please keep us updated with your progress!

Thanks sis! I'm so happy I can always count on your POSITIVITY!... That's what a girl needs :)

There is a lot of great work coming out if Chicago. And honestly for me personally I rather pay a little extra money for safety. My blood pressure dropped, my body was freezing cold not to mention I have spoke with his office multiple times since my procedure my follow up is Monday n going out of town I don't think I would have those advantages. My friend went to the DR and became sick so she flew back because she knew something was wrong. She ended with blood clots that moved to her lungs and NO plastic surgeons who wanted to take on her case.

No judgment of the women who do choose out of the state or country. To each it's own. Good luck to all the ladies :)

Yes Doll! Dr. Shifrin is going to snatch her left and right and it's so exciting to follow the journies and see us All get the results we desire. He DID that and you look great! Chi-town is definitely banging out the bombshells!

I thought I was the only one who didn't like the way Dr. Z talked to me. He didn't seem like he would give the results that I desired either and NEVER provided me with pictures. Good luck!

Consultation w/ Dr.Shirin

So today I had my consultation with Dr. David Shifrin. First, I want to say all the reviews that I read about him being extra nice,not rushing, not to mention handsome were correct! He took his time to understand the look I was going for and explain what needed to be done. Dr. Shifrin said that he would lipo abdomen,back,flanks and transfer around 1200 cc's in each cheek to gv me a Nice round plump booty, and also adding hips to give me a curvier figure that I want. I came with all these questions and before I could pull out my notepad on my iPhone Dr.Shifrin was going over everything I would need to know about bbl. My procedure is going to cost me $9,000. Man, do I have some work ahead of me getting this money together. With that being said I will apply for CareCredit and see what happens. Has any of you girls gotten approved for this company? Or do u need very good credit to get approved? I'll post some horrible before pics.

He told me 1500cc couldbe my max due to my height and skin. I can't decide if that's too big. Are u going to do 1200cc? I realize it all doesn't stick so I I'm torn. I definitely don't want to look crazy or go smaller n it look as though I haven't had anything done :(

I got approved right away for my full procedure (breast augmentation). I ended up paying half cash and financed the rest for one year. I have zero conplaints and your dr can give you flexible financing options through CareCredit for your particular need.

Complaints**. Sorry, typo! No complaints about CareCredit!

Hey girl! Im also consulting w Dr. SHIFRIN on sept 16th. Im very anxious as my 1sr consultation w a local doctor didn't go so well. As far as carecredit goes, I applied for $7000 & got approved in about 60 seconds (online) lol I dob have decent credit, but im a stay at home mom w no income. So obviously I had to have a co signer. Just very carefully read into carecredit. Ive read some horror stories about people using carecredit who accidentally missed a payment and consequently, got hit w 21% interest from the day of surgery... Ouch! Good luck on your journey, sounds like were walking this road together! Although, im going for a totally different procedure (Bl/BA) lol
