Looking Forward to the New Year!!! BBL with Dr. J in January 2016!! - Duluth, GA

So this will be my first and last BBL procedure, but my second cosmetic surgery. Back in 2003 I had a breast lift with implants, a tummy tuck, and lipo on the love handles (never felt like the lipo was done). The Brazilian but lift wasn’t as common as it is now so getting my butt fixed wasn’t an option for me at that time. I didn’t think getting this surgery would ever be an option considering the last surgery cost 11.5K. I’d often throw hints at my husband ( in a joking way) hoping to get his support, but not wanting to start an argument [spending money on cosmetic surgery versus saving for other major life events: kids college, life emergencies, family vacations, saving for retirement, etc.… could be an argument starter when you’ve already had cosmetic surgery done once before]. When I mentioned it one night, however, he said “if it really matters that much to you, and you think this will make you happy then let’s do it. Find out how much it will cost then go ahead and pull the trigger.” Needless to say, I ran with it! I was initially researched doctors that could do butt implants when I stumbled across Dr. Jimerson’s site. After binge searching butts for a whole weekend non-stop I decided that I would get BBL instead. I requested info from Dr. J and setup my telephone consultation a few days later.
I will be having fat grafting to the butt and hips as well as lipo on my BBR and my upper back. Total cost 13,350 -500 (cash discount) = $12,850…. SO THERE WILL DEFINITELY NOT BE ANY ROUND 2s IN MY FUTURE. So with that in mind, I wavered a lot about what I should get done. Fat grafting seems to be so unpredictable whereas implants are a sure thing. I really can’t afford to get this done only to watch the all the fat melt away leaving me right where I started. I talked to my husband about it and I talked to my patient coordinator (Randy) and they both felt that fat grafting would be the better option since implants have a higher complication rate, and will need to be replaced in 10-12 years. So while I am no longer wavering over what to get done, I am still extremely worried about what the results will be. I’ve review so many posts, wish pics, and BBL before &after pictures, and I’ve discovered that most of the women that have jaw dropping results really didn’t have bad butts to begin with. So I’m worried that although my after may be better than my before, it won’t be what I hope for. I’ve even seen a few women whose after results are………hmmm---well, let me say it this way: their butt is bigger and looks round from the side but the back view just shows a bigger flat butt. I’m not sure what they asked for, if size was their only concern, or if the issue was the doctor they choose, but I pray that I don’t end up with a bigger flat butt! I know that Dr. J, and all doctors, are somewhat limited in what they can do so I’m not expecting to look like Big Booty…. My greatest desire is to not have a Sponge Bob Square Pants/ Sumo Wrestle flat butt anymore. My second request/ desire is to have a lot of projection but with a nice slope, but not a shelf, I want results that are undeniable (to those who know me), but not obliviously fake (to even a stranger). I want drastic but not extreme….. If that makes any sense.

I had my medical prescreening today dr says my labs should be in tomorrow morning. I still have a lot to do. I paid for the surgery in October but couldn’t book a date until January because I don’t have 2 weeks’ worth of leave and won’t have any more days until January. I didn’t start preparing because I felt like it was too soon, but now that I’m 30 days out and the holidays are approaching I’m starting to feel like I need to play catch up. I ordered the breast pillow from comfy breast, but it’s not comfy at all. Its hard……I tried laying on it but it was so uncomfortable that I didn’t last 10 minutes. There’s no way I’ll be able to lay on it when I’m in pain so I am debating whether I should make my own using a better quality foam or if I should just buy a U shaped pregnancy pillow. I’ve been trying to force myself to sleep on my stomach but I usually shift on my side a little because I can’t lay flat on my boobs….they are just too big for that (DD). I also need something to sit on… (after weeks—I know Dr J says but I’m going for weeks). I’m planning to have my husband make me a “portable” seat that I can use in my car and at my job since I sit at a desk all day. We made (he made it…I was the designer) cornice boxes for my windows so I’m thinking we can use that same principle to make a seat for me.

So I thought I did plenty of research prior to paying to book my surgery with Dr J. I knew there were good and bad reviews. I also knew that he was nowhere near as aggressive with his lipo as some of the DR doctors I've seen reviews on, but I thought that the unhappy reviews were more so due to the unrealistic expectations women had (for example K Michelle didn't get that way in one surgery visit. She has clearly been under the knife more than once plus she has implants not fat grafting so if someone was expecting to be as big as her after 1 round of fat grafting then then they would definitely be disappointed). After reading Anyeamir and several other people's post I don't know what to think and now I'm feeling stressed. I'm already at the stage where a cancellation will result in a lost of money. :-(

Is there anyone out there with good long term results from Dr J? If so, did you already have a nice butt to begin with? Somebody tell me something PLEASE!!! I don't want to waste my one and only shot at getting a round butt.!
