I honestly felt like a won the lotto when I found Dr. Beck! When I met him for my consultation he exceeded my expectations, lets face it most girls go to Miami for a BBL. But after I learned about his experience, how he had trained with one of the top Miami BBL Doctors, that he was one of the top Lipo Doctors in the Country, I knew that I had found my Doctor. Plus the fact that his office is 5 minutes from my house was a major plus!! He is funny, smart, honest and really knows his stuff, he will keep it real with you. His staff is amazing, everyone there is so nice. I have to especially acknowledge Jasmin, she has been so available for me thru my procedure from the beginning and is still just a call away if I need anything. She is the best!! Now 8 days after surgery I am more reassured that I made the best decision, my results are amazing, and he really went above and beyond!! I would honestly say that he is the Bay Area Booty Doctor hands down!!

Thanks IM SO HAPPY
You look fabulous!!!.....I bet your breaking necks with that beast!! Love it.
LOL, a few.. right now Im still breaking my own.. Looking in the mirror
When does the booty finally soften up?
I thinks its a slow process, but mine seems to be starting to soften, it started on my left cheek and now my right is also. I would say final results come after 6 months.
You look amazing ! I'm going to dr beck too I cannot wait

Little over 4 weeks, so happy!! Before and After Pics

So I made it to the one month mark, it was a journey, but I can honestly say it was a journey well worth it!! I finally started going out into the world again, and my booty makes an entrance everywhere I go lol. I was walking and some guy said as I passed "IM IN LOVE WITH THE COCO" lol. I need to go shopping and get new pants, this booty is putting me from a size small to medium, but Im not complaining. Dr Beck said everything looks great, Im so happy I choose him as my Dr. He is such an angel!! So here is my before pic and my one month post op pic. What a difference!! =)

A few questions regarding recovery..

Hi everyone, so Im starting to feel a lot better, my booty has lost some volume (to be expected =(. My stomach was super hard after surgery and has started to soften, but now I have some lumps on my stomach, its pretty bumpy. My sides are also starting to get little wider then they were initially, so Im wondering if anyone else has had these issues and if so, do you have any tips on tightening the stomach area, it almost looks like pockets of fat in certain areas. I was also thinking of wearing a waist cincher and was hoping for suggestions on any that you guys have had great results with, I will still wear my garment but I'd like to secure my tiny waistline. Any help would be greatly appreciated =)

Hey Hun, you look great by the way... I am 5 weeks post op and my stomach is still really tight, my doc told me today I no longer have to wear the forms. They have helped my skin stay smooth. Not sure if you are using those or not but the have been great.
Hey girly, I don't know about forms.. is it foam boards or something different? I wore foam inside my garment and it shifted while I was sleeping and indented one of my hips, =( Now I feel like one side is smaller and Im uneven. Im going to start massages, Im hoping that will help.
Hey Hun, my suggestion is to read some of the reviews from Dr. Jonathon fisher of course in addition to everything else you're doing. My understanding is he recommends no waist cincher/trainer for at least 6 weeks. Also, the lumps/bumps take up to 3 months to go away. Liposuction in General takes about 6 months to see FINAL results. Give it time! You look great
Thanks sweetie, I will look at his blogs, everyone preps for the surgery but you really don't know how the recovery will be. I always read girls switching to Stage 2 garments, binders, etc. I don't know about any of that stuff lol.
The foam only creates temporary dents. Once you take it off it'll go back to normal. Your body will be going through lots of changes, some good some what seem bad, but just be patient and in a few months you'll be able to see final results. It's not uncommon to have some minir lipo revisions afterwards. You look great by the way!
Thanks girl, there are definitely a lot of stages to the whole process. I just want to make sure my waist stays as tiny as possible. Do you happen to know if there is anything in addition I can wear to keep this hour glass figure? Also any idea how soon people start working out after a BBL. I know Im no where near working out, but just wondering if you have heard any normal time frames
I started doing cardio, abs and light weights after 8 weeks. Just keep in mind that you might swell a bit after your workouts. As for your hour glass figure, it shouldn't change as long as you're eating right and don't gain weight. Your waist will go thru stages and look small one day and swollen the next. during the first 4 mos (at least for me that was the case). Your lipo'ed areas will continue to shrink up to one year post op. Just continue to stay positive and be patient.
Thanks doll, its a rollercoaster when you are in the healing phase. But I really do believe in keeping a positive mind frame, what you think you create. So only positive thoughts are allowed in my brain lol. Thanks for the info!! Did you notice additional results after you started working out?
I do squats and other butt exercises so yes I noticed firmness and more definition. I got the minimal fat transfer (300ccs) since I was very thin to begin with, but people that know me have noticed that my butt is a little bigger and perky, so I'm very happy. I also had a straight waistline (it's in my family genes), but he sculpted me to where it looks like I have a waistline and now I can actually see my little six pack:-) It helps to not really look at your self for at least 4-5 months because you being to criticize everything. Post some more pics when you have time so we can see your progress.
Thats great advice!! Im glad the gym is helping you to "build on" to your goals. I might start wearing blindfold when I take my garment off lol j/k. I will post some more pics in the next day or so. xo
Eat right and walk walk walk until ur healed but u still gotta work out and eat right when de beck gives the ok and wear the farmer it's so important I hated it but I would just tell myself I just spent so much money so gotta keep up with it for sure I'm almost a year out and I love my body
Oh no waist clincher I barely started wearing mine few month ago wait until numbness goes away
For tummy lumps, massages. For waist width, stage 2 or 3 garment if you haven't downsized yet. Make sure that faja is tight enough.
Thanks for the info, where do you buy the stage 2 or 3 garment? m hoping to find some thing that doesn't put compression on my booty anymore
I would def recommend to wait until your booty stabilizes in size (stays the same size consistently) until you size down so you won't squish your booty. After week 2 my booty pretty much stayed the same size (until it dropped & then it changed shape but kept volume). On my faja chart it says 1) 1-8 days post op stage 1, 2) 8-30 days stage 2, & 3) 30+ days stage 3. Just google "Fajas Diseños D'Prada". I like the look that the butt out give but the thong up your butt gets uncomfortable. I mainly used butt out for at home use (the brand "marena") and my "faja d'prada" butt in under my clothes when I go out. The butt out garments can look weird under regular clothes. The marena fajas are REALLY comfortable but my masseuse said the faja d'prada are better for molding the body. The sizing is confusing but perhaps you can just size down from whatever you're in now.
