WORTH IT$9,500
I decided to finally make a decision for myself and my body and do it. My family is actually opposed to the idea of be getting a BBL, but this is something that I want and something I and determine to get. I AM SUPER SCARED and NERVOUS but so ready for my body to go a major transformation! I plan on sharing photos as well

Wish I knew some of things I should start...
Wish I knew some of things I should start purchasing for my surgery.
Anywho, I never talked about my stats
I'm 23. No kids.
5'4
180lbs :(
I'm thinking I would like to loose a little weight before my surgery..but then again I have little more than a month before it..
I wanted to talk about my goals. I am really not set out to get a big huge booty. The problem is I hate the current shape of my booty and no matter how many squats and lunges I do in the gym I was going to have that ugly shape. I also have huge thighs with no hips. During my consulation we discussed taking some fat from my thighs as well and injecting fat into the hips as well as the booty to get the look I what. I repeat I am not after a huge booty! I just want to be more curvy. No disrespect, but some of the women on here have this idealthat a big monster donkey booty is ideal, it may look good, but alot of the time it doesn't look natural. I am all about looking natrual, no one needs to know I have gotten work done. I think that since I have a little something back there the procedure will only enhance it.

Well to the bbl sisters. Im 22 with no kids and I thought I was going to be the only one getting one at a early age and before kids. Im getting my done in the DR.

February 4, 2013
Yeah I noticed alot of people talked about having kids here. When is your sx?
February 4, 2013
Hey, I'm in Houston too!! Right now I'm schelduled with a Dr in Miami to do my procedure. But I know it would be less stressful if I could get it done here. How much did Dr Cortez quote you for your procedure?? And how much is the deposit??

February 4, 2013
The quote was $45 and you have to put $500 down to schedule a surgery. I think you should check Cortes out, I was really impressed with his work.
February 4, 2013
You mean the consultation was $45?? How much did he quote you for the whole procedure??


February 4, 2013
I'm also going with Dr Cortes I like his honesty and personally I don't want to spend an extra $3,000 to fund a trip when I can do something here

February 4, 2013
That's exactly how I felt! Lol plus he's good on the waist booty ratio on his clients , the shape of their butts too, and the best part is recovering in the privacy of your own home :)

February 5, 2013
Im going with Dr. Cortes too! My sx is sch for July. Im 5'2 203lbs...he told me to lose 25-30 pounds in order to get that hourglass shape that I want. I love his honesty and he definitely makes your overall shape look good! I dont want a butt that dont match my body....Good Luck Ladies!

I need sooo much help trying to lose weight but this has really motivated me! I bought these VPX Redline metabolism boosters and now I'm on my way!

Hello Ladies! Today is was Pre-Op visit at the Hospital. Everything just set in that I really having this surgery! I'm getting really nervous! Anywho, I've been trying to gather my suppiles and make sure I have all my bases covered. I think the part that I am most worried about is recovery. Not being able to do things that I considered normal is probably the hardest part but this is something I want. Also, not having support from family and love ones is really hard to, had to find a ride to the hospital hire a CNA to pick me up and come take of me day after op. :(
I signed all my consent papers and realized that this will and shall be a total body transformation! I am getting lipo to my arms, chin,abdomen, flanks, back, thighs, and of course reconstructing my bootayyy :)
All this is good because during my consultation I talked about how I am no where near my goal weight (140) and he told me I dont have to worry about losing weight because he was going to transforming my body :/ I was concerned that my lower body is going to look awesome and my upper body a complete mess. I have a round fat face and chunky arms so that was good news to me. Once he said that I kept eating and didnt work out and gained 2 pounds lol
One thing I not understand is this whole garment stuff? Which kind should I order? Do I need a board? What is the difference between the use of foam vs. thick maxi pads? How do you know what size to wear? SO CONFUSED SOMEONE HELP!!

Don't worry about the garment dr Cortes will provide the 2 garments and alot of foam pads...The day of the surgery, you will recover in the hospital which is wonderful compared to going straight to a hotel... The hosp staff will really help u and show u how to get out of bed, deal with the drains... Omg you will see it was great recovering in the hospital...I wanted to stay, it was a killer getting out of the hotel bed... Good luck

February 22, 2013
Thank you!!! Just curious if you come from out of town do you also come back for post op visits?
February 22, 2013
We actually traveled to Houston via car... We stayed in the hospital the first night, then about 5 days total in a conroe hotel... Dr Cortes visited us at the hotel once, and the ofc manager visited us several times, she also remove the drains at the hotel. our last day there we did a post op appt at his conroe ofc, he said everythjng we were experiencing was normal, then we went home. We ended up driving back out there two weeks later on feb 1 because our stomachs was swollen and we were freaking out... We thougt it was Seroma but dr Cortes said it was normal swelling... He gave us a new garment to help reduce the swelling, and some injections to help get the inflammation down... It worked so far but our stomachs never went down totally...hopefully this helps to get idea of what u are getting into...:-)

I am squared shaped as well. That is my post kids reality, unfortunately. During your consult did Dr. C say anything about sagging skin after the procedure? Your surgery date is near... congrats!

February 25, 2013
Well he said it butt skin appearance will improve (I have alot of cellulite) so with making the butt fuller it will fill that out I'm assuming with sagging skin on the stomach areas ppl get tummy tucks.
February 25, 2013
I read from the experiences of others that any areas that have stretch marks will be saggy if selected as donor sites.This concerns me because I have a few stretch marks on my thigh (front and inner). My in-person consult is in September and I will ask then. I can't imagine having a banging booty with saggy thighs :( It took me forever to save up for BBL and I would hate to think I would have to save more for a medial thigh lift. Ugh!

February 25, 2013
Indeed. A convo that you must have with your doc. I don't think anybody would leave your a plump booty And thighs that don't match. Which doc are you going with?
February 25, 2013
I selected Dr Jimerson. During my phone consult he did not mention any concerns about saggy skin. But he only had pics taken with my crappy camera phone to view that was not of the best quality. I will find out for sure when I speak with my Patient Coordinator next. Thanks for your response.
