WORTH IT$10,548
There is no amount of money that I wouldn't have paid to feel the way I do about my body now. I have never felt so sexy and confident and loving of myself! It's been 7 months and I wake up every day and think "I can't believe I got my butt done!".
It was painful. It was expensive. It was worth it.

How much did you pay for the flight and what hotel did u stay in
September 1, 2016
I drove from Austin to Houston for my consultation. It was about a four hour drive there and a four hour drive back. I had a friend drive me for the surgery a week later, and she stayed overnight in a hotel down the street from the hospital. When I was released from the hospital she drove me home, while I slept on my stomach in the back of my car. Same thing for the follow up appointment/removal of my drain!

Did you finance ? I'm a 20 year old college student and I'm sooo insecure about my body ! I recently had an consultation with Dr.cortes and they quoted me 11,000 ... I don't have established credit right now so I know I would have to take out an loan .

Picture Update!
1- this is a collage of the photos I send to Dr. Cortez. I was an out of town patient and I emailed pictures to see if I was a candidate for the BBL.
2- you can see heavy bruising! This was the a couple of days after the surgery. You can see the hospital bracelet and drains. At this time I was advised to take off the compression suit and shower. I was way too afraid to put it back on by myself and got very sick when I tried to take off the garment so I ended up leaving it on until I felt more comfortable.
3- this is a picture a friend took while I was laying on my stomach about a month after my surgery! You can see the curvature of my newly small waist and butt!!
4-This was taken around 2-3 weeks after my surgery. This was the first time I realized I needed to buy smaller clothes! I used to wear an XL in T-shirts but now I am In a size M-L! I was so amazed by this picture I actually cried after I took it!!
5,6,7- are before and after photos taken the night before my surgery and two days after my surgery. I honestly can't even believe these. I gained weight (ugh) before the surgery date and I was really worried because I wanted my surgery to turn out as well as possible! Everything worked out! I'm still stunned! You can see how flat my stomach looks! (My stomach isn't flat and I actually need to get a tummy tuck too complete my transformation but with high waisted pants it's like I'm a whole new person! Also notice my under bra back fat is minimized! My waist is pulled in! I could stare at my before and afters for DAYS!
8- For a while during my healing process (up until 2 and a half months maybe?) My butt was sort of shelf like? The upper portion was a bit square which I wasn't worried about because Dr. Cortez assures me it was normal. It went down! I'm posing at this angle because I wanted to show that my ass is literally huge. My hips were wide set before and as a plus size women, everything really stayed the same size, just changed shape. I didn't ask Dr. Cortez for a Kim K or Nikki or JLO booty. I just asked him to make me look proportionate to my body and he did that!
9- Damn! This was my first time wearing jeans since the surgery. I went multiple sizes so expect to shop! I used to be a size 18, but my pants were always baggy since I didn't have a butt to keep my pants up. Now I am a size 12/14 depending on the brand. I have to shop around because my butt is so big and my waist is small so it's hard to find jeans that don't leave that gap in the back by my waist! But I'm not really complaining much.
10- This one captures my healing process completely! After my surgery I was put in a 3xl garment that went from my waist down almost like high waisted stretchy capris. After my follow up appointment I was put into a size 2xl garment that had straps over my shoulders, zipped up the front and had my butt out. I was really swollen still, and the thong hurt worse than any of it! So I layered mine together so the 3xl acted like a barrier and kept the thong from chaffing. This compression suit was SO tight! But after a while I finally got into the XL and still wear that sometimes!
* it would only let me upload 10 pictures but I have so many more and can answer any questions anyone has!! (:

It looks like the BBL helped reduce your cellulite a ton! I have my procedure booked for July and am hoping it helps with my cellulite too

More after photos
A ton of after photos that really Hilight the changes I've had in the past seven months!
The 4th picture was right after surgery when I got home I still had the foam padding! The results were so quick to see!
The 5th picture is showing what I was talking about with the shelf butt shaping! See how it looked square? ? This was temporary! Everything is rounded out now! You can also see how "flat" my stomach looks! *Only looks flat under clothes! In my last update you can see the crease in my stomach from loose skin. I will need a tummy tuck to get my complete transformation and this was explained to me by my surgeon during my consultation for the BBL!

You are similar body type as me except I've had two kids and know I'll need a Tummy Tuck in the future. Thanks.
