53 Yr Old - Next Stop BBL....later TT! - Miami, FL

Hi Ladies, I'm finally getting brave and getting a BBL. While my original desire was to get a TT and finally have a flat stomach my hubby and I started exploring fat transfers and he being a Butt man, was all for it and I decided it was an excellent way to shape more curves, redistribute and remove fat prior to the ultimate goal of the TT. Which by the way I have been told I definitely will need afterwards. My skin is loose as I've gained 40-45 lbs more than what I have now in the past. So WARNING! Don't start fluctuating too much on weight once you hit 40-45, it's all permanent problems that don't rectify itself from that point i.e. loose skin that never retracts. Getting old is not for the faint of heart girlies. Ugh :(
SO my expectation is a smaller waist, refined hip sculpture, fuller bottom, round an juicy but ,..not too much. I'm small 5' 2" and now :( about 133-135. Too much weight for my bone structure. I'm about 15-20lbs over my desired weight which is JUST PERFECT for the BBL! When your doctor says "don't loose a pound!" you know you're doing the right procedure first! LOL. I already have a small waist and from the back look shapely but a flatter but and squarer than anyone wants because my hips extend to above my hips...which all needs to be reshaped. So that is my expectation and of course, I've chosen the leader of female boo-ti-fi-ing, and body sculpting....DR. C. Mendieta!!!
I'm nervous and scared and am traveling between FL and VA in September for a week and still need to coordinate all those medical items so Dr. M can receive it prior to surgery date.

Hi Ladies,

Sorry I'm not the big blogger everyone seems to be BUT...thought I'd let you know I LOVE my Doctor, and although he is expensive, and doesn't really "run specials"...I'm glad I feel I went to the best. His staff was ALWAYS professional, responsive, understandable. There are no ridiculously LOOOONG waiting with hordes of people in his office. etc, etc. Very high end. ha ha no pun intended!

surgery went perfect, felt like crap when I woke up...owwwwww :( got to hotel. Had an ANGEL FROM HEAVEN care giver (certified health aid) Judith, and made it through that night okay.

I am one of the people who was just looking for a nice shape, had a few pics to show him what I like, and I said nice, round not huge hips since I have had those since I'm a bit heavy.....I said, just make it nice shape and appropriate size for my body. And Dr. Mendieta is the man, he is really the person in the world who has developed this procedure and the perfect ratio....and he loves behinds :) and guess what I find out?! I was given 1140 in each cheek!! EEEEK! I'm scared. I need to loose weight but I was aware of that before the surgery. My husband is thrilled so far. I just hope it's not too big in three months....feel free to comment.

I DO feel there needs to be a clean, comfortable, accessible, post recovery place and am thinking of starting one myself since it has been actually impossible to find. Of course if you have a million dollars, its not a problem, but for those who are not local and not millionaires it's very difficult to find. Really - how hard is CLEAN, fairly minimal necessities, a bed, clean sheets, TV, clean bath, nice to have a kitchen maybe or healthy, food brought in even for two meals....sustenance???? am I right?

Even an inexpensive hotel lets say low $100s ends up being like $150/night after taxes, right??

Anyway I LOVE DR MENDIETA and ALL his staff are top notch, and excellent, excellent, excellent!
