Hello everyone, I just wanted to put up my initial post here tonight as I just scheduled my surgery for May 31, 2012. I have been lurking this forum for a while now trying to get tips and information. I figured I would put my own review up now so I can get as much advice as possible before my surgery and then give as much advice as possible after!

I started thinking about getting this surgery in the summer of 2010. I am about 5'6" and 130 pounds. I have a nice body but I have always wanted fuller hips and more projection in my butt. Being part Asian, I am been blessed with a flatty lol. Honestly it's not too flat but no matter how much I work out, it won't grow. I can gain weight relatively easy and I plan on gaining 15 pounds for this procedure. I gain weight typically on my midsection so I think I will be a good candidate for fat grafting. I will post some before pictures as soon as I can of me now, and then at 15 pounds heavier (and then of course after my surgery). I would like as much advice from anyone who has had this surgery, specifically by Dr. Markmann and I appreciate any other comments too.

I researched for a very long time and I emailed several doctors and visited countless doctors websites. I decided to go with Dr. Markmann because he consistently captured the look I was going for. I consider him truly an artist. I researched him further just to make sure there was nothing shady about him. Everything came up clean with rave reviews from all of his patients. I talked to him on the phone and he was extremely polite, soft spoken and helpful. He never made me feel like I was inconveniencing him, even when I ran out of questions and just keep saying "ummm ummm" trying to think of some more lol. His staff has been super friendly and very quick to answer my questions. So far I have nothing but great things to say about him.

A lot of people do not choose Dr. Markmann because of his price but I would not sacrifice results for a cheaper price. I have been saving for a long time to get this procedure because it is what I really want. I am doing this for MYSELF and I do not want settle for less! Wish me luck!

Pics coming soon :-)

Hello and Happy New Year! Now that we are officially in 2012 I am can start my countdown ;-) A few days ago, Dr. Markmann's super helpful assistant sent me a package with a lot of information. First, I and anyone else going to Dr. Markmann will need to get a phsyical done 30 days prior to make sure you are healthy enough for surgery. This includes a lot of tests and stuff. If you don't have a family physician, I think they can schedule you at the hospital where you will have your surgery. She also sent me a list of products that aid in recovery, which are:

Protein Powder
Iron Pills
Fiber
Gatorade/powerade/vitamin water
Female urinal
Vitamin A
Vitamin C
B Vitamin
Zinc
Selenium
Biolflavenoids
Arnica Montana
Bromelain

I will be purchasing all of these products plus a few more to make sure I am comfortable afterwards :-) I will be reserving a room in the area for about a week and a half. I live three hours away so I will be getting a ride to and from Dr. Markmann's for any post-op appointments after that. I'm sooooo excited, I know it's 5 months away but I can't believe how fast it is coming up!

I posted some pics of me today and weighed myself at 123 pounds. Last time I weighed myself I was 130 during the summer so I guess I dropped a few (had some medical issues in October which is now totally better). I am going to gain about 15-20 pounds and I want be around 140 for the surgery...at LEAST 135. I'll post more pics when I'm at my ideal weight! Thanks for reading!

Thanks girl he said from just looking at my before pics at my current weight it would be around 700 ccs each cheek. It's hard to tell though because he hasn't seen in me in person yet. To be honest I really don't care about ccs or measurements per se, as long as I look good and get the most bang for my buck! I have a LOT of faith in Dr. Markmann I just know he is gonna hook me up, I can feel it! I can't wait to see your pics too!

Is the photo in your profile pic what you are going for?! That's NICE! Wow!!! Good luck to you on your surgery. I'm glad you have such good open communication with the doc and captures your vision, that's very very important. I too pay a lot of money because I didn't want to sacrifice results ... Good luck :)

Hello again. I've purchased all my surgery...

Hello again. I've purchased all my surgery vitamins and will be purchasing my protein powder and supplements next month. Question for all the ladies who went with Dr. Markmann or who live in the Baltimore/Ellicott City area: What hotel did you stay at and what are some cheap hotels in that area? If you could hit me up in a message or in a comment, I would really appreciate it.

Also, I would like to request that if you have a problem with my doctor or this procedure please keep it off this page. I have seen a few other reviews that have had unnecessary comments on them. I have saved up over and year and I am very very excited about this so I humbly request if you have anything negative to say please keep it on your own review or in another forum. I'm hope I'm not trying to sound rude I'm just trying to keep positive and keep my review as unbiased as possible, thanks!

One thing I have been doing more of is looking for wish pics because I'm getting more and more exciting as I'm counting down. I put together a photo album of some of the pics I've found so you lovely ladies can check them out if you want to use them too!
Here is the link:

(just a heads up, may be some nudity like no underwear and breast exposed if you are easily offended)

I have also started to gain some weight so I will update later with the final weight gain stats. Thanks!
