I want HIPS! I've never had them and I want 'em bad! I'm 5'8 and 136 lbs. Measurements- 36-28 1/2-36. I have a small frame. I'm generally slim, but have stubborn pockets of fat on my abdomen, flanks, waist and bra roll that won't go away even though I work out daily. Other than that, I have very little fat anywhere else. I'm not looking for video vixen hips, just rounder hips that go with MY body. I also want a slimmer waist and back. If I have enough fat I'll get some in my derriere too. I have a squarish butt that needs rounding out on the sides more than projection. I only want to do this ONCE. Dr. M has the proven track record and experience that I demand from a surgeon. His before and after photos clearly state how ago the patient had surgery. This is critical for me. Imo, everybody's butt looks great a week or a month post op. I demand proof of long term great results and patient satisfaction, and I'm more than willing to pay up for that. When Dr. Markmann does a BBL procedure, it is the only one he does that day. He works out of an accredited hospital, and I will be able to spend the first 24 hours post op there before returning to my hotel. I'm so excited that i have to remind myseld to eat so that I won't lose weight! I will consider posting photos at the three month post op mark. Anything before that does not reflect true results, IMO.

My total cost was $18,000. I spent less time in the OR than I was scheduled for, so i may get a refund for some of the OR room cost. I made my appointment about a month before my procedure.

My total cost wound up being around $ 17,000. I got a refund from the hospital because the surgery didn't take as long as the OR was booked.

Well, I'm one week post op. Dr. Markmann did a great job filling in my concave, non-existent hips, narrowing my waist, back and flanks, and sculpting my buttocks. I still have a lot of swelling, especially in my waist area, but I look so much better and curvier than before already. He took out 2400ccs. Of that, He put in 350ccs per hip area only, blended a little into my lateral buttocks. We decided that I already had enough projection, so he didn't inject any fat in my buttocks. He just sculpted the area underneath my cheeks a bit. i'm so happy, because I still look like me with a much better shape. So far, i am healing well. I have had some discomfort, but not nearly as much as I expected. The staff at Northwest Hospital was just wonderful. Just hoping now that I can hold onto my little fat cells.
Dr. Markmann is very easy to communicate with. He is throrough, thoughtful and accessible. You can be sure that he will do absolute best workand younare not just a number on an assembly.
I am giving him a five star rating based on this, but i will return to post my final results at the end of three months.

Where are the before and after pics? You don't have to show your face, just your body no one will know. We aren't creepy or perverted people on this site. We all need all the info we can get about this procedure and various doctor's actual work on clients. It would help us out greatly in making a decision as we are also considering undergoing this very serious life changing procedure. Also many people including myself don't trust posts without pics as legit. It could be anybody, it could be people who work for the doctor or the doctor himself. This is just to important for that deception. So it is critical that people post their pics on the website.Without pics you are basically wasting everyone's time and yours, because that is what people mainly came here to see is results. I'm sure when you went to docs office u were also looking for results first before considering.

11 year post update: Yes, I kept most of my fat. No I am not posting any pictures. Sorry, but I didn't owe anyone anything back then, not do I now. I posted at my own comfort level. I hope if you had surgery it worked out well, but your research and treatment were on you. If you didn't like my posts, you had the option of ignoring them rather than lecturing me. I had better things to do with my time than hang around RS posting bogus info. Frankly, if I had it to do all over again, I would NEVER have posted anything at all on RS. If I could delete my entire history, I would. Much of the reason is the attitude of a lot of the posters on here.

And yes, I posted a lot of pics. I left them up for over a year, then took them down. There is no such thing as true privacy on the net. Our IP identifies us, whether we like it or not. There are tens of thousands of women on here who have no problem posting naked photos of themselves.Surely you can find your inspiration in those pics.

BelleNuitOctober 4, 2012
More to add: th e absolute worst moment was waking up the night of surgery in a tiny hospital bed with the sides up. All i wanted to do was get out of that bed! I was in pain, and felt overheated and claustrophobic . The nurses let down the sides of the bed and got me up and walking right away. The first couple of days were pretty painful, primarily around my midsection. The discomfort diminishes day by day. It's day 10 and I feel great. I have to remind myself to take it easy-which I will do. This is too big of an investment to blowmit by doing too much too soon. I'm enjoying the downtime.
Your face and eyes will most likely be very swollen and puffy for about three days- maybe a little bruised..I had a few minor abrasions on the sides of my face. It had somthing to do withnthe way I was positioned on the operating room table.
The one item I haven't been able to live without is my Grab-It device, as i cannot bend at all from my waist. Also, invest in a pair of Heelbo elbow pads. They'll protect your elbows from getting irritated when you lean on them.

I wish you a successful journey in your recovery. I have my sx date in three weeks with Dr. Markmann. I'm so excited I'm actually getting the BBL procedure. I have a great canvas but now I'm scared my butt is going to be too big. Did that decision to only accentuate your butt come before or during your surgery?
October 5, 2012
If you've got a lot to work with, don't worry, he'll make you look even more spectacular!
October 5, 2012
I didn't have a lot of fat to work with and I have a rather small frame. My lack of hips was my major concern. My butt already had good projection for my frame. I wanted any fat I had to go there. Don't worry about anything being too big. Dr. M will spend a lot of time discussing what YOU want to accomplish.
October 7, 2012
I know those drains being removed is a sigh of relief. Do you have someone to help you around the house? I'm thinking of hiring a nurse or something. Did you buy the multi vitamins from Dr. Markmann's office?
October 10, 2012
Hi Beepbeep. I used Homewatch Caregivers, based in Columbia, MD. A wonderful lady, named Katheryn looked after me. She picked me up from the hospital and stayed with me for 24 hours. Alfter that, I had her come every other day over a period of 6 days. 3 visits. Once you don't have to wear the anti embolism stockings you will be able to dress yourself. Anyway, if you are looking for help , I highly recommend them. It worked out to $15 per hour for 24 hours. For short visits the vrate doubles to $30 per hour and a two hour minimum. It was worth every penny.
October 10, 2012
I already had most of the vitamins he recommends around the house ( I am a vitamin popper) so, i did not buy supplements from him.
October 11, 2012
Awesome thanks. I just had my pre-op. I am really getting nervous and excited all at the same time. How are you feeling?
October 5, 2012
I also meant to mention that you cannot bend from your hips at all!
October 5, 2012
He told me that in our consultation. That I can do. It will be hard though. I have my pre-op next week. The clock is ticking and I am getting very nervous. How is your recovery going pain and all?
October 5, 2012
I actually just red your last post and it seems you're great. I will go get that grabbing device and now that you mention it I will get the elbow pads. How much weight did you lose and measurement? I hope that's not too personal. If so please forgive me just curious.
October 5, 2012
I haven't weighed myself yet. I was 136 lbs going in. I'm 5'8 and pretty thin. I'm still about the same size, but my waist is still very swollen. It was 29 inches before surgery. It's '33 now, but my abs and tummy are very sculpted and flat. Dr. Markmann says that my waist and midsection will become much smaller as my swelling subsides. I have gained 3 1/2 inches in my hips to 381/2. my bust is 34C. I won't know my final measurements for 3 months. I should have a pretty good idea by 6 weeks. He gave me what looks like will be a lovely, much more well proportioned shape than I had before. He really sculpted my waist, flanks and hips. I'm not gonnalook like Kim K, but that wasn't my goal.
I'mreally feeling much better than I expected I would after just 10 days. I still need half a percocet once or twice a day, but ibuprofen is worked really well . I'm just a little sore in my lower back. Drains came out yesterday. That was a great relief. The drains are less of a big deal than I thought they would be.
