4 Months Post-Op: NEW PICS!!! My Lovely Lady Lumps Bring the Boyz to the Yard!
Hello my Beautiful BBL sistas! I have been...
Hello my Beautiful BBL sistas! I have been following this forum over a few months now and finally got the courage to write a review and move forward in becoming the best me I can be. Thanks to all of you for posting your experiences, which has given me the courage to move forward! This year I revolved 40 times around the Sun! I am 5"3 1/2', 130 lbs. and have two beautiful children, with the oldest graduating from University next year. I am a single mother and have been for the past 20 years so I am very proud.
I started thinking about having the Brazilian Butt Lift and Breast aug procedure a few years ago and this year, I am making it a reality. In the past few years I have been going through great periods of transformation, especially on a Spiritual and Mental level and the physical, due to lack of time and let's face it, after a certain age things just FALL to the wayside. I also no longer have 2 hours a day to workout and get the results I used to. Now, I am taking it to the NEXT level physically.
So far the PS I am interested in are as follows:
1. Dr. Jimerson: I had my Virtual consultation with him 2 weeks ago and he was very personable and down to earth. He was probably the one that I connected with the most and I will not have to be concerned with the results he gives me. He is a true Artist. His work is absolutely AMAZING! I asked Dr. Jimerson how many cc's can he get into each cheek, and he said about 800 cc's. I don't know if you all have looked at his photo gallery but he makes his 800 cc butts look like other PS' 1200 cc butts. He also does a 3 layered fat grafting technique, he said he injects the fat under the muscle, in the muscle and over the muscle. That may be why his butts are so PHAT! He is also the most expensive out of the 3 PS I am looking at. He quoted me for BBL with a tummy tuck : $14,800; and BBL with Breast Augmentation Saline is $13,100 and Silicone $14,100; for all 3 close to $20,000
2. Dr. Azurin: He was also personable and down to earth. What really struck me about Dr. A, besides his AWESOME work and photo gallery is his website which reads:
"...the visual improvements from cosmetic surgery are nothing compared to the dramatic improvements in self esteem, self confidence, and overall sense of well being. This is all about you, all of you... From his MIND, through his HANDS, with HIS SOUL"
and as you can see, I'm all about the MindBody&Soul connection. He quoted me $14,800 for all 3 procedures, BBL, TT & BA.. Not bad! The only concern I have is that he seems more on the conservative side with the lipo and fat grafting.. He also was not too keen on lipo'ing the stomach, which is where I carry most of my fat, and as it is, I don't have much fat to work with. It might be because of the possible TT, which I am probably just gonna go with the lipo first and see how that turns out and take it from there. Although he indicated he puts all the fat back in, after cleaning and processing it, when I asked him how many cc's does he think he can get in each cheek he indicated that he didn't really go off that, he just put it all back in.
3. I was also looking at Dr. Salama, but not only is he super booked and doesn't have a date until May or June 2013 and I am looking to book mine in December 2012. However, I was also getting concerned with the after care and some of the reviews on RealSelf. Although, lately, I have seen some really good work, and he has been redeeming himself.
4. Dr. Campos, Tijuana, Mexico: Although, most of us are concerned of going abroad for surgery, it is not too far from where I live and I wouldn't have to fly. The other great thing is, they have great recovery houses that if you are in a bind and have to come by yourself, they will take great care of you. The recovery houses are about $130 per night, which is about the rate of a 3 star hotel here in the states and that includes a 24 hour nurse, all delicious and healthy meals, taking you to your post-op appointments, making sure you follow the doctors orders to the T, help you with trips to the bathroom, showering and changing clothes, garments, etc. They also take you for walks on the beach (ClubMed) and other outings once your up to it. It would be like a vacation, while your in recovery. He would also be one of the cheapest. That was a plus, but as it turns out, I never got a response from Angie after sending her my photos. So I took that as a sign.
Well my BBL sistas, I think I will be making my decision soon, especially since I want that December 2012 date. I will be posting some before pics, I hope they take (this will be my second time trying to do this). Thanks to all of you for sharing your journeys. Love & Light,

@ EYZ: That's awesome EYZ! The 40's are the new 20's and there is only NOW! Good luck at your consultation. That's this week. Who is your doctor?
Hello my BBL sistas! For the past week I have been...
See, I am in the process of transitioning to venture out on my own and do the work that I am passionate about which is to facilitate workshops which are based on the premise that our thoughts and beliefs create our reality (Law of Attraction). This is one of the reasons for going through this transformation so that I can confidently step into my greatness and deliver the message and presentations. In short, the message that is being conveyed here is that when things happen that appear to not go our way, what we naturally immediately do is focus our attention on what is not working and begin to worry about the situation and so we begin to feel the fear, doubt and anxiety and that is our point of attraction and we are attracting more of the same. Instead, we should focus our attention on those things that are working in our lives and on what we want to create. Abraham - Esther Hicks says it so succinctly: (paraphrasing) Do not focus on YOUR REALITY.... focus instead on those things which you do want to experience in your life, even though they have not physically manifested into your reality. Which is tricky for most of us to do because we normally want physical proof before we will believe in something. (See Youtube video Abraham Hicks - I could not find the video I indicated above but this one is very close to that message).
So, in other words, I need to remind myself to continue to practice what I preach and will be preaching. I believe that the Universe always provides and source never gives you anything you can't handle. Everything is already taken care of...We just need to align ourselves with our good! So with that said, I have taken a big leap here as I have decided to go forward with having my procedures done (BBL and BA). I have also decided that i will go with (drum roll please)................... DR. JIMERSON (Suwanee, GA). I am so Excited to start my NEW JOURNEY! I have already given my deposit and have scheduled my surgery for DECEMBER 19, 2012: A Time for Great Change and Transformation!!! Mind, BODY & Spirit!!!
Let the countdown begin!!! Good night my BBL Sistas!

Expect the best, plan for the best and worst just in case is my motto. I really love your predetermined attitude . I listen to Tony Robbins a lot so I totally get your whole approach to your surgery and life overall. Love it!
I could hear in your writings that you are a pretty aware being. Tony Robbins is awesome and he pretty much conveys the same messages as Abraham/Hicks, Bob Proctor, Rev. Michael Bernard Beckwith, Gregg Braden, Lisa Nichols, Louise Hay, Marianne Williamson, etc. but each has their own style. I feel very blessed to have stumbled across this website and found amazing, supportive women like yourself! XoXo
Hello my BBL Sistas! I am so excited I just booked...
Excellent Customer Service at Dr. Jimerson's Office - Going the Extra Mile - Litteraly !!!
The only con is it is 40 minutes away from Dr. J's office. I did speak with Kim, one of Dr. J's RN's as I was following up on some paper work and I mentioned that I was looking at renting a lake home in Dawsonville, GA (Lake Lanier). She told me she lives in that area, so she was able to give me some additional info and she took it one step further by asking me to send her the exact address and she would go over this weekend and check it out for me!!! Talk about going the EXTRA MILE!!! Literally !!! And this is after enthusiastically and patiently answering all my questions over the phone for approximately 30 minutes!!! I also asked Kim if the distance was not too much traveling back right after surgery and she said they recommend not traveling more than 1 hour immediately after surgery so I should be fine. Of course provided someone else was driving me. Of course, of course!
So to my BBL sistahs going to Dr. J and you are bringing someone with you (if your going alone not recommended because of the distance and someone will need to drive you to your post ops with Dr. J, etc. unless you don't mind paying an arm and a leg for taxi cab fees.) check out this website and will give you the property ID # so you can check it out and see if you are interested in renting. Tara, the owner is so amazing and such a sweetheart and their prices are much cheaper than most during the fall season. If you do contact Tara, let her know that the lady who just booked the dates in December referred you to her. (She knows I will be recuperating from a surgery but did not go into detail). Go to www.vrbo.com and enter property i.d. # 86354. The following activities are available for those who will be coming with you, not much for us really : (( Swimming, Fishing, hiking, sight seeing, fitness center, golf, jet skiing, water skiing, rafting, sailing, museums, theme parks, cinemas, live theater, restaurants, wild life viewing, boating, horseback riding, shopping, the Christmas Lights on Lake Lanier (if you are going during that time).
Hope this helps ladies !!! I have some additional info but I have to do some work now! Just like many of you, I have been glued to this site and I need to slap myself into action sometimes! Have a great weekend ladies!!!
