I am so excited to be 26 days away from my surgery date.

I'm nervous about what to expect as far as pain, and I really hope that my body comes out the way I am imagining it to. I love the work of the Brazilian docs, but honestly afraid of going out of the country when I have a blood condition that causes my blood to clot. I chose a local doctor that's only 2 hours away that had great results and reviews, and I have spoken to enough people that had great experiences with him.

I got my consultation in June of last year, but finally put my deposit down in December.

I went back today after deciding to add a BBL to my surgery date. I have not seen any pics of Dr.Cochran's BBL but I'm confident it would turn out fine. He did say he does not think I need one due to the fact that when I get my lipo and tuck it's going to push it up some. I said if I'm going to go through with this I want it all Boom, Bang, Pow body lol

Good luck! I am having a fat transfer to the buttocks bt dr pagadala June 16! Please keep us posted
January 27, 2015
Any particular reason you went with Dr. P for the fat transfer?
User Avatar
January 27, 2015
Yes. When I first called, the staff seemed to be pushing me to use dr P for the transfer. I really didn't like that so, I had a consult with BOTH dr. Cochran and Dr.P. Dr.p had before and after photos of the butt loft whereas dr Cochran dud not. They continued to say dr P performs more transfers than dr c and said dr p uses a certain method to keep most of the fat. I will say however that dr c is good but I've only known people to use him fr TT and breast implants mainly. My daughter has a friend who let dr C do her butt lift, from the pics she sent me she looked good but in the end, I chose Dr. P

I would kill to see those pics lol... I promise im going to flood my post with pis of my new butt. I asked at the office today and they did not have any pics to show of Dr. C's fat transfer. Bout to research Dr. P work

Right! No pics of dr c work for the transfer. Also, I saw dr P first for the consult i then went back later the same day to see dr C. I felt dr C wasn't thorough maybe because he knew I had already been. It wasn't about who was the cheapest it's about who will perform the best job. It's not like buying a pair of jeans in the mall and returning them if they don't fit right, once it's done it's done so I went the best out the 2.

Great choice of doctor :) He is doing my TT Friday - excited!! What exactly is he talking about pushing up? I need a little more booty, but not brave enough to have some added back there... I'd love it if mine ends up a little bigger-lol. Best wishes to you!
January 27, 2015
I guess he means when he lipos my lower back that I might not look so flat back there lol. My butt is decent sized, I just want it to have the full roundness lol.

Oh, im gonna go ask Dr. P one question tho... Dr C suggested A Tummy tuck instead if lipo-reason being is because he says the lipo may leave a little saggy skin, dr P didn't tell me that and i don't want saggy skin, so if I need to do the TT I might opt for that instead-I will let you know

I'm scheduling my surgery for June.. Tummy Tuck, lipo and bbl.... im so nervous but I haven't seen one bad review about Dr.Cochran. And after meeting with him I really felt confident... I've seen ppl that he has performed Tummy Tucks on.. But I haven't seen any of any BBLs... welp I have alot of time to do a lil more research on that

I haven't heard any bad reviews of dr Cochran either. I know of at least 3 associates who he performed a Tzt on and all look great!

Hey Hun I was wondering when did u book ur date? And how much was your deposit? Or did you have to pay in full? Thank you I appreciate it
User Avatar
January 30, 2015
Ddsrsgirl88-i can answer a portion of that. The deposit to secure a surgery date is $250. Your estimate is good for 6 months from the date if consultation.you can pay up until the surgery date but it must be paid in full about 2 weeks prior when you do your pre-op

Day of treatment

Surgery Complete

JaneBond007
I completed my surgery yesterday. My surgery was scheduled for 7:30 am and soon as I arrived we got right to it.

I took my clothes off and changed into a gown, then u go to a small room to take a few photos of your body. Dr Cochran came in marked my body.

I then went to the surgery room where an IV was placed in my neck. I am a big chicken when it comes to needles but the thought of this sounds worse than it actually is.

I was out cold and woke up thinking I was still waiting to go to sleep for surgery to begin lol. The rest was a blur as I went home. The furthest I was able to make it was my couch chaise where I have been every since. I have went to the restroom a couple times and that's the only time I really feel pain. The pain really is not that bad.

I am all bandaged up so I have not seen my results yet. I have the wrap Dr Cochran provided around my stomach but plan on putting on the garment I purchased tomorrow after my first shower.

I had my mom snap a pic of my but in my sweats when I went to the restroom. I can see the roundness that haS come. I only had 40cc put in each butt cheek. My butt was already big but I needed some filled in right in the middle of my butt.

Can't wait to post pics tomorrow.

Also the nurses gave my mom all the instructions on what needed to be done with my bandages, so she was an expert when I got home on what to do next. They told me before surgery but I could not remember,

Welcome to the flat side! You don't feel sore now, but it will come - especially where you have the lipo. Take your meds every 4 hours to begin with and don't wait until you feel pain. The steady stream of Hydro will keep the pain away. Try to walk as often as you can, but don't overdo it. Walk less, but more often rather than walking more, less often - if that makes sense. Best wishes to you and your recovery!
February 25, 2015
Thank you... So far pain is not that bad

Sore day

JaneBond007
Day 2 I felt airless more sore. I finally made it upstairs to my bed which feels great. I got the itches people have described, so it's a little annoying right now at 3am. Dr. Cochran called to check on me today, which was great. I noticed my inner thoughts were not lippoed, I mentioned to my mom who was at the surgery and he told her for some reason he couldn't. I will ask during my follow up appt more details. My scar looks great. Very low and the tummy is so flat. I can't wait to really see it while standing up.
