I've been researching BBL for many years now and I was strongly considering Dr. Constantino Mendieta a while back but then opted for Dr. Salama. So last year, I originally booked for Dr. Moises Salama, but I had a fear of flying and started wondering the level of treatment I would get if I had post-op complications since he is extremely busy and I don't live in Florida. Finally, I decided not to go with him and decided to try a surgeon closer to home. Earlier this year, I had a consultation with Dr. Markmann and really liked how he took the time to explain his BBL procedure to me. He's very patient and nice.
One of the main reasons I chose Dr. Markmann is that I live a lot closer to Maryland, about an hour and a few minutes, and the procedure is done at a hospital setting. I hope this is the best choice for me. I'm just trying to not be nervous now because I am exactly ONE month away from this procedure. Super nervous and excited at the same time. AND I still haven't booked for a PCP appointment, but will do sometime this week!

Hi Congrats on your decision of your BBL with Dr. Markmann. I too have been looking at the same drs you wee looking into as well. I almost booked with Dr. Salama but read about his patients with burns, yikes!!! Can I ask what other procedures you are eating done with Dr. Markmann. His work is amazing!!!!! Is you quote $16,106 just for the BBL?

Hi there! Isn't that crazy we're all looking at the same docs! Lol! I feel the same about Dr. Salama--but I fear the infections the most and no one ever responded in a timely matter since he's super busy! So with the Dr. Markmann, my coordinator is Amy Lindsay, and she quoted me that the entire cost of the procedure is $16,106, which includes Liposuction of the abdomen, waist, flanks, dorsal roll, BBL, overnight stay at the hospital, hospital anesthesiology, the operating room, and finally the garments.

I know it's a time management thing! Me too :-) It's better to do all the things you can while you have a break from work and life ;-)

Yes!!!! I was so close to booking with Dr. Salama but just read too many things about him and yes he is very very busy. How long are you staying in MD? Are you flying out after the over night stay? What about insurance since you're staying at the hospital?

Hey girl! I'm gonna have to pay with a credit card for the hospital stay, I think. I haven't paid yet, only made a deposit. I'm from Virginia so I'll be driving up to MD. I'll be staying in the hospital for at least one night. I looked around for hotels, but I haven't seen any that I liked yet, I will ask if they have any recommendations. Have you decided to do a consult with Dr. Markmann yet?

Primary care physician or Urgent Care?

Hi everyone! Has anyone ever used Urgent care to get their BBL surgical clearance because they didn't have a PCP? Dr. Marksman's office sent me this list of things I should do prior to meeting him in a few weeks for the pre surgery consult. I don't have a PCP and would just need the following:

-History/Physical for Surgical Clearance
-Hemogram (CBC)
-BMP (SMA-7)
-Urine Pregnancy
-HIV
-Hep. C Virus
-Hep. B Surface Antigen

Yes. And it's perfectly fine. I live in Maryland and Patient First is fantastic with that and they are familiar with doing clearances so it will be fine.....

Omg thank you so much for your help! I was wondering about it so much last night. I have a patient first in my area and I live close to DC so there's CityMD and Patient First. I also cost like $35 for a visit, which isn't too bad.
