Hello all of my BBL Beauties, I am super excited...

Hello all of my BBL Beauties, I am super excited as I am six months away from my anticipated surgery day. I have all my plans mapped out and am super stoked that this is really happening. I am a 27 year old African American Female, 5' 1.5" tall, overweight for my height at 190 lbs. Luckily I do not look as big as I am because I carry a lot of my weight as muscle but it is noticeable in my face and arms. But that weight is coming down with much needed exercise and eating a lot better.

First, I would like to let you all know what I plan on having done. I am gonna be getting abdominoplasty with muscle repair (if needed), full body liposculpture, lipo to my arms, face, and neck to get rid of double chin, and of course a BBL.

I have been wanting this for years like 10 or more. I have always made jokes of "I wish I could take this, my gut, and put it in the back, my butt". At the time I did not know it was a procedure to do so but when I found out about 5 years ago I was all for it. I have always had a full rack with great breast but the back NEVER matched the front. So after having my daughter 6 years ago and breast feeding it all went down hill from there. I don't plan on any more children as she is a handful and I am ok with just having her. So for the tummy tuck I am ok with never having more children.

I so wish that I could go sooner but I need to loose some weight before my surgery as I want to have the best results that I can have. I plan on getting down to at least 160 lbs as that is my ideal weight that I look the best at as I have big bones and would look a HOT MESS any smaller. As everyone else I do have a DREAM BODY but I told myself that I will not set my sights on anything in particular. I just want a better me, so I say that my wish pics are what I have now and as long as I don;t look worst than that I will be satisfied. So give me a flatter tummy, and a more rounder rump and I will be good to go.

Well I will be updating this blog as I continue to impatiently wait for my surgery. If anyone has any questions please feel free to message me. I will be making videos about my journey to put on my personal website as well. When I place them there I will put a link here so you can go view them if that is ok.

Again, I am EXCITED and LOVE reading all of the great blogs you ladies have already started. Thanks for all of your stories as they have helped me to truly know what to expect and to want from this surgery.

I did not go to DR to actually have a consultation with her. I emailed her with pics and all to see what she thought would be good for me. I plan on going to her no matter what so when I actually see her I will get a formal consultation before my surgery. Super ready!!!! But Dra. Yily is really good at answering any questions for you, and addressing any concerns you have so I and very comfortable with going to her without a formal consultation.

I know you are super ready I wish I could go that early. I am slacking in the exercise department. I need better get motivated.

I just read your full review, are you getting all these procedures done at once? Just curious bcuz i was told it would be to much lipo! Im not getting BBL but full TT. I really wanna get it all done in one shot!
User Avatar
December 30, 2012
Yes, I do plan on getting all of these procedures done at once. Really I feel it is not that much as I am only getting TT with Lipo which is a normal combination. I am just adding the fat back in to my butt. I would think if I added breast or anything else with it, it could be too much for me. I feel this is very reasonable and the doctor has not said anything about it being too much. I as well wanted to get it all done in one shot so I am going for it. I know I will have to sit on my bum since I can not lay on my belly with a TT but I am ok with that because I know others with great results and sat on their bum from day one.
December 30, 2012
I agree! Dr Robles office told me this. I got my quote from Yily and she didnt mention that it was to much. I emailed her and didnt hear back yet. Did you have trouble with communication with Yilys office? Im not having luck. As im still going between the 2 but leaning more towards Yily!

Hello My BBL Beauties, I would to wish you all a Happy New Year. This year is the Year of God and ME! I plan on making myself better inside out. Not only with the surgery but with my health and eating and all. This surgery will just be a prize for what I plan on doing here in the next 6 months. I hope everyone has a prosperous and great new year and love each other more and more. Please continue to think of me in your prayers as I pray for all my BBL Sisters in mine.

Hey Ladies,
Sorry it has been a month since I have been here to update. I have been around so I have been keeping up with you all. In the last month a lot has happened. Today I have a week and 100 days to go. I am ultra excited. I have had a run in with Western Union that pissed me off beyond belief but at the end of the day I have my plane tickets, passport, and deposit paid.

Since Yily now has her PayPal all set up it makes it so much easier to get her money. I probably will send all of the money to her so I will not have to carry it with me on the plane.

I have gotten my vitamins which I need to start taking right now. I am also gonna order some raw honey in which I will start taking a spoonful a day it helps raise hemoglobin. But that is all for right now nothing really changed other than I am still trying and have lost a little more weight. I need to get my butt to the gym Lord help me.

@ChocolateDrops: I'm in CLT too and was wondering if you've located a PS in the area for aftercare once you return from the DR? I'm leaning more towards having my sx done in the DR but i want to have that safety factor after I return if I choose this route. - thxs
