Hello. I began searching this site over a year ago or more. I then backed off for a while but now that i am about to turn 41, i am having the "itch" again for a fat transfer or BBL.I am taking the forst step and i am excited. I have a consult next week with Dr.Pagadala and later that day with Dr. Cochran. I want to have the surgery by mid-week June or by end of June. I will like to ask however, is one doctor more skilled than the other in doing this type procedure? I am an adfrican american woman, does one specialize more than the other with black women? I only say that because each ethnic group has a difference in how theyd like to look. Maybe not a huge difference but the body is sometimes shaped a bit different. Either way, i feel confident that i will chose one or the other doctor, i just want to make the right choice.
Thank you and sorry for typos

Hi upacut. I have had a TT and lipo with Dr. C about a year ago and I felt that he did an awesome job. I am also about to consult again for my BBL. I actually like them both but I dont see any pics that really show his BBL work so its hard to tell what he is capable of. I know that this time around I will mention key words like contouring and and tell him that I want him to be aggressive with the lipo. I hope you keep us posted with your journey!!

Hi Doll, so sorry for the late response. I assume by now that you have already done your consults. When I had my TT/Lipo, I was also quoted for the BBL and it was $5800. I opted to do my TT and Lipo and hold on the BBL simply because the recovery for the BBL requires you to stay of your booty and rest on your tummy while the TT requires the opposite. My booty is decent and I decided to go with what I wanted done more. I am consulting with Dr. P in mid Jan. I was originally scheduled for Dec. 29 but had to change it. I will say that Dr. C did a fantastic job with my TT but I am probably going with Dr. P for my BBL.

Hi, I'm interested in having this procedure done, but I'm worried I'm too overweight. I'm wondering is there a limit of how over weight you can be?
