I had a mommy makeover 15 months ago which went amazing! I'm in love with my new body, and am seriously thinking about a BBL. So, genetically I have "hip dents" which make me look very straight up and down. I would love more hips to even out this fantastic new body. I'm thinking maybe 600cc on each side. I've had the 3D demo done and have fallen in love. The doctor that performed my mommy makeover would perform the surgery as I wouldn't trust anyone else. He and his staff were absolutely wonderful to work with through my mommy makeover, and trust me, I'm not the easiest patient. If I decide to move forward, my surgery will be winter of 2017 or winter of 2018. Additionally, I would need to gain a little "fat" weight as I eat pretty healthy and clean. I'm very active, and work out 4-5 times per week. The hardest part would be not going to the gym for about six weeks. My hubby is very supportive; his only concern is he does not want me to have a big booty (neither do I) yet something very tasteful and that will compliment my figure. For reference, I'm five foot three inches, a 127 pounds with 18% body fat and wear a size 4.

Your doctor sounds awesome...would you happen to know what his cost is for a tummy tuck?.. Ive been doing tons of research for an awesome doctor and havent made up my mind.

Yes he is awesome and thorough. I had a MM so mt costs were combined. I think TTs are around 10,000 but not sure. Call and ask Tica or Michelle. They are awesome!

I'm going to schedule my BBL consultation this week. I'm getting excited! I hear you lose about 30% of the fat that is transferred? That kind of concerns me because I don't have a lot to begin with. Thoughts???

I'm 47 I just had my BBL May 2 I had to gain 10 lbs to get the results I was needing full fuller hips and more projection in the butt. I love my results! Except for I have some dimples in my butt moe that are more predominate than before. My doctor is going to fit it in Sept for free.

Thanks for the information. How has the recovery been? Are you happy with your results?

My recovery has been good. I honestly wasn't expecting to feel so numb for such a long period of time. I'll be 6 wks post op on Tuesday I'm finally starting to look normal in my torso. It's taken me 5 messages as of now. I was wondering if I'd ruined my body with all the lumps in my sides and my stomach, but it's coming along good. I love the projection in my butt. I'm hoping it will stay the same as of now. I really don't want it to be any smaller. It's been the same for the past 2 weeks finger crossed it doesn't change. How's your recovery? Are you happy with the results? I went through up's and downs my first few weeks.

My mommy makeover recovery was very hard. I toom 4 weeks off from work. I did have many ups and downs but the results far exceeded what I even imagined. I just hope the bbl isn't as painful.

My thoughts on this weight gain issue are that some girls can get great results being skinny and sometimes even chubbier girls will not look as good as the skinny ones. I really think it mainly has to do with what your body will take and also the surgeons ability in finding fat.

Agreed completely. The bigger you are doesn't necessarily guarantee the better results. I only have to gain 8 to 10 lbs he doesn't want me to gain an excess amount of weight.
User Avatar

That's good because you didn't want a big butt anyway right?
User Avatar

I hear ya! My hubby only agreed to this as long as I didn't come out with a big booty. He's an athlete and loves a woman with an athletic shape. We work out a lot together. I just want some HIPS!

Oh i understand my hubby also likes that athletic look but we are going to have to meet somewhere in the middle with the shape of "my" butt.

I find it funny that someone who goes by haroldswife would comment on someone's self esteem. I also find it funny that you are on this site lurking if u have negative feelings about plastic surgery. This website is not for criticism or analysis
