I have been stalking real self for months now.. and thanks to everyone's pictures and reviews I have decided to get a BBL done with Dra Duran in the DR. I sent her an email tonight with my pictures and expectations. Hopefully it doesn't take too long to get a quote! :)

Age: 25
Height: 5'0
Weight: Naturally 120, but gained 30 pounds for surgery (only meant to gain 10, OOPS!) now, 150
Measurements: 36", 35", 41"

Not sure why my hip measurement is so large... I have no hips or butt! lol
I'm uploading my before pics and wish pics

Dr was great up until actual surgery when anesthesia wasn't done correctly and he blame me. I felt the entire surgery! Staff was great though

Debating about my weight

User Avatar

My normal weight is 115-120... and from reading so many reviews I knew I didn't have enough fat to get the butt I wanted so I decided to gain weight. I only intended to gain 10 pounds... but of course it snowballed and I gained 30 before I knew what was happening.

I know I have plenty of fat now, but is it too much? I want enough to get volume in my butt but after my surgery I want NO fat left in the lipo areas.
I want to get my stomach, entire back, arms, armpits, inner thighs, and knees done. Should I lose 10 pounds so she can lipo all areas that I want? Or not worry and hope she does them all anyway?

I've seen reviews where people are glad they gained weight otherwise they wouldnt get the volume. And Ive also seen reviews where people regretted gaining weight bc lipo didnt take off all the fat so when they lost weight after surgery they lose it in their butt too... so gaining weight was pointless.

Not sure what to do :(

Also, I still haven't heard from Dra Duran... I emailed her last Thursday, also added her on Facebook and emailed her on there.

I want to have the surgery done in September, which is my only week off school for the rest of the year. Does anyone know how hard it is to schedule appointments with Duran? I know some doctors are booked for 6 months at a time...

Hey girl I will c Duran for my bbl with breast lift and implant novber 5th I'm also getting full body lipo (knees included).. Duran initially answered within a day with my quote n for confirmation of my deposit receipt took about 5 days?).. Be patient love she is worth it but I feel u the anxiety is crazy ..best of luck to u.. I am 140 was 145 n she didn't ask me to gain or lose.. I will say I think ill go in at 150-155 due to the fact that 1- she is amazing at large n small frames n 2- the billion other docs told me told me to shoot for 160-165 for my wish pics .. So u just may be ok.. Id ask her if I were u ..

Thanks girl! I did ask her but she hasnt replied yet so idk. And from your pics you must be a lot taller bc you are wayyy skinnier than me lol. But I do know Duran is awesome with lipo so I don't think I should worry, I just don't know if DR has the same restrictions with lipo as the US. I've seen a lot of girls left with fat bc they had the max removed and the dr couldnt do anymore. Also, is Nov the date you wanted? Or was that her first available? good luck on yours!
