Being "SKINNY FAT" sucks....

Just taking my time deciding. Sometime soon I'm going to book consults with Dr. Bruno and Dr. Ghavami. I think I feel more comfortable being able to meet and talk to the surgeon before surgery. I really wish Ghurani was not so far. I don't think I have the courage to be that far away from my family and be alone for so long.

Tell me about it !!!!!!! - ghurani in Miami ?
Ghurani works with Salama. I got the usual cut and paste reply from their office sends. He did add that he would be very aggressive with lipo in the flank and lower back and that I would see a huge difference in shape from that alone. I feel like since I am slender and have huge hip indents it's important for the surgeon to see me in person. AGH!! I'm starting to lose hope. I'm located in So. Cal and there is some great docs here but I really notice they are not filling in the hips as nicely as some of the docs in other areas.
If you are willing to travel, you should definitely look into the surgeon I chose for my BBL: Dr. Matthew Schulman. Most of his patients are not that overweight, but he finds the fat and does a great job sculpting and grafting. When a doctor hesitates even for a moment, I feel like it's hard to trust that they'll be able to do a great job. Look for a doctor who is excited to do this surgery on you and has a great track record. Anything is possible!

Well I got the standard cut and paste that he'd like me to be 145 lbs. There are girls on here who he did at 122-125lbs so I'm pretty confused.
I'm not sure it's actually Dr. C who took a look at my pictures.

It bums me out because Dr. C can shape some hips that's for sure. I also like that I see each side very even with Dr. Campos work.

I don't know.....I'm literally crying

I did email Hannia and ask the difference between me and some of his other petite patients and she said it would be better results if I gained 20lbs which is ten pounds less then the first email said? I believe they need to make a new copy and paste because saying go get a second opinion is going to lose a customer. Can I gain 20 lbs? Yes. Will I gain 20 lbs? Yes. BUT I still need a quote, I still need to make a deposit and set a date. I'm not going to gain that much weight without picking my surgeon and knowing they are confident with operating on me.
I really don't feel comfortable gaining weight without a date set and a deposit down.

On the up side I guess me being upset answers my question if this surgery is something I really want to go through with. It is:)

Have you look into Dr. Cortes in Houston?
No I have not. I had about 3 doctors that really stood out to me and just approached them. Ghurani did say he could do it and that I'd see a dramatic change just by his loop changing alone
*lipo
You should call Dr. Campos and speak to him personally?
I'm thinking I will have to do that. I live about 3 and a half hours away so I can do an in person consult. I'm just bummed because there are a handful of girls on here and on mmh that are only slightly heavier.
But you gotta respect him, it may be for your safety and his. You should just try to gain a few pounds.
Call other Dr's.. if hes not comfortable doing it, then that's an honest opinion! respect it!! he could of said yeah come on in and not delivered good results... go to a DR who has experience with your size and shape of body!
I just find it odd when I'm looking at girls he did who weigh 122 to 126 pounds and had very good results.
Have you checked out Dr. Hughes in culver city CA?
I've checked out a few docs in LA and personally know one girl who did have a BBL with a very well known doctor in Bev Hills. I think for the price upwards of $12,000 I'd be disappointed. Honestly the LA docs seem to be lacking in the shaping and hip filling department. If I'm gonna spend 12 grand I'd go with Mendieta in Miami
