Three Is My Magic Number!

Hello all! I started my journey in 2015 at the age of 50.I knew my results would be far different from that of a 20 or 30 year old and maybe even different from a 40 year old but, we all have our expectations. My first bbl was done in the NC/SC area and I wasn't too thrilled with the results.My second bbl was done in Miami with Dr. Llorente of NewLife and he drastically improved my butt and gave me nice curves but I was slack on maintenance and diet and gained quite a bit of weight. I'm embarking on round three with Dr. Dowbak also with NewLife and I'm praying this is my final round (with bbl). My deposit has been paid and I am looking forward to a March 2019 date. This round I plan to be closer to my goal weight of 170 but I don't want to go below 180 to assure I have enough fat to transfer, considering I had a bbl in 2016. I am working on losing the visceral fat located underneath the muscle to assure my tummy is as flat as possible. I also wish to get rid of the back rolls or at least reduce them. My main area of focus is reshaping my butt and filling in the flat spots on the bottom where fat did not survive and hopefully get a "cuff." I have been following Dowbak dolls and have yet to see a bad result or a bad review on the doctor herself. If you are a Dowbak doll, please feel free to share your results and experience with me.

Going For Round 3 With Dowbak

Hello all. I am headed in for a third and hopefully final round of BBL surgeries. My initial round was with a doctor here in the NC/SC area and it was a complete failure (in my opinion) so I went for round 2 with Dr. Llorente (of Newlife). He gave me a great foundation but once everything settled (2 yrs later), I'm still not sculpted as I would like to be, hence, round 3! This round I am going with Dr. Christine Dowbak. I love her work and her work ethic and her results, she is also with the NewLife facility. I am not going for the "vixen" look but just to make some corrections on the bottom of my buttocks where the fat did not survive. I knew going into this surgery journey that it may take more more than one round to reach my ultimate goal (considering where I started from). So, no sweat for me. I am very much looking forward to this 3rd round as much as the first and second rounds. I'd love to connect with Dowbak dolls to follow your journey here as well as IG. My Ig is alldolledup2018. Send me a request and I will follow back. Good luck to all of you beautiful dolls. My only advise is to be patient with the process, give your body time to heal and form as every day you'll look different. Don't compare yourself to anyone else especially the "wish pics" every person and their results will vary and lastly, keep in mind that it may take more than one round. Best of luck to you all!

ROUND 2 LOCKED AND LOADED

So, I've scheduled my round 2 with Dr. Orlando Llorente @ New Life Plastic Surgery. After careful research and reviews, I've chosen to go with him. I love his work and (per the reviews) his dedication and professionalism with all of his patients. It is also a major plus that he is board certified and highly trained in the area of cosmetic surgery. It is also a plus that my coordinator, Elena, is a dream. She has been most helpful (even after I paid the deposit) lol and she continues to stay in contact with me. I am so looking forward to this surgery (sx date 12/12/16) and I am sure round 2 will be a charm. I pretty much have heaps of supplies from my round 1 which was 12/14/15 so I will only add a few additional things as I will be traveling out of my home state for this second surgery. I'm at ease with my choice and I trust Dr. Llorente completely. Stay tuned as I will be updating as time draws nearer and I will be posting my current pre-op photos as well. If anyone would like to follow me on IG, my IG name is alldolledup2016. Say a prayer for me as I will be in prayer for you. xoxo ~ Charlotte, NC

Dr. Pillai is very professional. He still has a lot to learn in liposuction and the art of sculpting a beautiful body. While he knows the procedure, he does not execute it well. He is NOT aggressive in his liposuction and you WILL still have FAT on your body afterwards. He WILL NOT transfer a lot of fat to your buttocks so, if you are looking for a big, juicy booty, he is not the man to go to. He only transferred 500 cc's to my buttocks and by the time my body re-absorbed it, I'm probably left with 250 - 300 cc's which has made very little difference and is far from the results I desired. He did not lipo the areas he said he would do leaving me with still a lot of fat all over! His prices are great and very affordable as well as the financing but make sure you do not rush to decision (as I did) because of a great deal. He does have a great bed side manner and his follow-up care is great. the clinical and administrative staff are just wonderful and pleasant.
