10 wks post BBL and not entirely happy with results. Clinique of Plastic Surgery in St. Petersburg, Dr. Drehsen did my surgery. Everyone in that office was wonderful, Dr. Drehsen made me feel very comfortable and my recovery was relatively easy. My shape is better but I still have saddle bags, evern though they are smaller. I'll try to figure out how to post some photos! I'm told revision can't be done until after 8 mos of recovery and can be done in the office, under local anesthesia. Anyone else have this experience?

I just don't think your doctor was aggressive enough. I fell if I was paying that much money I would want some major results. You can see by your photos that he did make a difference but I would have wanted more. Good luck.

I can understand the relative disappointment for the resistant saddle bags .Improvements usually obtained by the fat injections, filling the buttock but the filling has its uplifting limitations when the tissues surrounding the buttock are lax (aging or wide weight fluctuations ) .Some additional improvements can be reached by doing some secondary fat injections but more likely with a true body lift procedures that is unfortunately much more invasive ,require extensive incisional scars and a longer recovery !Please stop by my office to review thes options .Thanks for the review !

These are my before and after photos. 8 weeks post BBL. When they handed me the photos, I thought they were all "before" photos. I feel better in clothes, but thought I'd have a more significant result. The Dr. said I need to wait 8 months for revision and I will see him next month to discuss. Has anyone else had this experience and do you think I will see continued improvement?

I had a facelift with Dr. D and I am very disappointed. I've seen little improvement in my face. He could have done so much more. For $24,000.00 I expected stellar results. None of my friends even noticed!
