Finally Got to Be a Duran Doll- BBL, TT and Lipo

Hi ladies – I am a round 2 candidate for a bbl. I had a bbl and lipo done in Turkey in January 2016 and although the lipo was great the shape of my butt was very disappointing. I chose to go to Turkey because it was nearer to home. Since the disappointing results I have been stalking this site and got educated very fast lol. I realised that the best results either came from Circumed in Spain or the US and DR. Initially the idea of travelling to the US or DR was a terrifying prospect especially DR. When I mentioned it to my partner he was ok with the US but thought I was mad about going to DR. So I started doing a lot of research and the more I read peoples experiences the more I became comfortable with the idea of travelling a long distance. I researched more and got quotes from circumed and US surgeons as my partner was more comfortable with me going there rather than DR. Although the quotes were reasonable and I was tempted by a couple of them I couldn’t get out of my mind the result I had seen by Duran and Yily. They just stood out from the rest. After persuading my partner I started the process of getting quotes from both. This was my first experience of DR lol
Yily’s team was very good and sent me a quote within a week or so but Duran’s team on the other hand was a completely different story. I didn’t hear a word from them despite several emails and phone calls. I then decided to go through surgicoordinator. They sounded hopeful because they said usually it only takes a few days, however after 3 weeks of being told my case was still pending I decided I was going to try and get in touch with them myself. I called for several weeks relentlessly, until they finally gave me a quote. I was sooooooooo happy. Both surgeons are brilliant in my opinion but for me it was Duran. So I went back and scheduled my surgery for 5th October (this was done in June). In my humble opinion I think the reason it took so long for my quote was because I was a round 2 candidate and Duran is inundated with straightforward cases so why take on a case where you have to fix another surgeons mess up, but I am so glad she took that chance on me lol
So about me: I am 49 yrs old and ever since I had my second child at 29 I have been unhappy with my stomach as I have a lot of stretch marks. As years went on my butt started becoming flatter too with age so I decided to get both things fixed. The surgeon in Turkey suggested I do this in 2 stages ie stage 1 lipo and bbl and TT at stage 2. He convinced me that I may not need a TT after he had done the lipo. However bbl results were disappointing so now I am going to get bbl revision plus TT and lipo. I just wish I had done the research first time round and gone to the best doctor and had all 3 procedures at the same time but you live and learn.

You actually did the right thing lipo and bbl first. The amount of fat they remove during a lipo is more if the procedure is not combine with a tt.

Hi there may I ask which surgeon you saw in Turkey as I'm considering travelling there for lipo and tt, also there is a review here that stayed at a recovery house in DR and was super happy as it was private owned company or something along those lines. Good luck I'm following you as I said earlier Turkey or Dr for me not sure yet. Here is the link for that user's review.

Thanks for the link doll. The surgeon in Turkey is Dr Karaaltin. He did a reasonably good job on the lipo (although I did end up with fibrosis on the left hand side of my tummy) but I can't comment on the tummy tuck. Personally I feel that they do a much aggressive lipo in DR compared to any other country. This could be a good and a bad thing because too aggressive lipo can leave you with so many problems. I chose DR because i don't think I could get the snatched waist I am looking for anywhere else plus they just know what a butt should look like. Good luck on your journey x

I am told he is one of the better ones in Turkey lol. He is actually a lovely man and he is so caring but it's a shame I didnt get the results I wanted. I think partly that is my fault because I didnt do enough research. If I had I would have known that its always best to go with a surgeon who is a specialist in the area you are having surgery in. Dr Karaaltin is an excellent surgeon but he wasn't an expert in bbl like Duran. Lesson learnt!

Hi, I'm booked for October with Dr. Duran and also booked for Sweetheart RH, so far I like the service from Sweetheart RH. My cousin friend recommended it, she told that is very clean, service is great and the driver is very nice. All the nurses are very nice and they have massage therapy there too. If you have instagram add me and we can chat. @bellalr25

Here are my before pictures ladies. As you can see my ass is a strange shape after the bbl attempt in Turkey. I am hoping Duran will work her magic and sculpt to look more natural and pert.
