I decided to document my journey to help other...
WORTH IT$9,300
I decided to document my journey to help other woman . I never thought I would be doing this , However , I have gained a lot of weight over the last two year , a sedentary life style and poor eating habits have let me to a 30 pound gain over the last two years . I'm 5'6 and look my best at 140 . Right now I'm 170 The problems is I have these rolls on my back , a belly and my behind is super flat , so why not redistribute the wealth ....
I'm also including arm lipo with my procedure .
This was a tough decision as I considered going to DR. Salama, DR Salhauzer, In Miami and and Dr Hughes and Dr hazani in Beverly Hills, I figured why not go to the best .
After evaluating everything it would take to travel , hospitality , cost , risk ,if revision is need it after the surgery, I opted for a local surgeon. It would be Insane to travel again if I need it to go back , there are a lot of moving parts for me to go away for 10 days without my family - I have an 8 yr old a Husband , and a full time career .
The challenge with a local Surgeon is Taht athere isn't much talent in Houston - my personal opinion - the before And after pictures aren't that impressive , there is a couple dr Cortes , Dr newall .
Cortes knows what he is doing - however , I passed him up , I read a few reviews and got turn off , also he is only been a surgeon for 8 years , and I just didn't have a good vibe for what I was looking for .
The I came across Patrick Hsu , he only has a few Pictures but they look great , I met with him and felt like he can safely give me what I'm looking for - his works speaks for itself .
I also chatted with one of his patient they are very happy .
I'm so excited for my 10 yr tune up ..

yes I feel exactly like what you just said above! There are alot of great PS's scattered across the US and abroad, but I never considered "medical tourism" due to the risks and inconvenience that comes along with it. Dr. Cortes is probably the most known in the Houston, TX area for BBL's, but that doesn't always equal to good results/good practice. I really believe that Dr. Hsu deserves more recognition! You will love the results ! I am excited for you :)
July 20, 2016
Ok Marshymarsh- your pics were the ones that sold me . I'm trusting your endorsement -
Are you happy with amount of volume you lost ? I'm think of asking for 1000cc - lol - say the woman that doesn't want a Jlo booty - I have a conservative job - I wear suits everyday not sure I want a huge booty . You had 750cc ?

I honestly don't really think I lost that much volume. It was mainly the swelling that was lost, not really the fat- I did not sit or sleep on my back for over 8 weeks though, so that may have helped retain it. I also wanted 1000 cc's but it's really the amount of fat your body has to harvest that sets what can be injected. Dr. Hsu got 760cc's per cheek for me, which is a good amount for my frame! I would not complain if I got more though!
July 22, 2016
That makes sense , you did have a caption on your 2 week post op pics that indicated you were very swollen .. You results are great . I have gained 20 pounds in the last 2 yr I have plenty of fat available ... I will ask for 1000 CC if possible and want to work on my projection .. Sept 2 surgery date - I'm nervous . I sleep on my stomach now so that no problem - but no sitting
December 11, 2016
Hi doll! I read that you gained 20ibs in two years. I'm gaining weight for the procedure and I can calculate that I'm gaining almos 20ibl but in 2 months!!! This is not healthy, right? I'm not sure If i will practice it because What I want really want is an agressive lipo ( I'm not fat, bat I love to be dry) you know if any doctor practice an agressive lipo with thin people?
September 7, 2016
You look absolutely fabulous after! Hsu is a true body sculpting genius
October 25, 2016
what is the cost with Dr Hsu if you dont mine me asking, I am also looking into getting this done
October 28, 2016
About $9300 that includes hospital fee and anesthesia ...
Are you thinking about doing a bbl?

Yes I am but I usually use Dr Sukkar, I saw that Dr Hsu doesnt include the massages and Sukkar does soooo Im on a bind on who to use
November 17, 2016
Excited for you lor3nar, but really hope you choose your BBL doc based off their results and not off if they include massages or not!
November 9, 2016
Just curious for just the bbl how much was just that procedure???
November 24, 2016

You have an awesome figure to work with! I wish I took more clearer before pictures lol

Thank you ! My hair dresser took them for me . She has had 2 bbl . She loves Dr Cortes ..
I'm a little nervous , looks like the best doctors are in Miami and Beverly Hills , for the best bootty's .
I'm hoping it all goes well .

No doubt you will be happy with Dr Hsu. I got good result with liposuction of my waist considering I have excess skin and lots of fat at bottom of abdomen. However I was not pleased with my bbl result. I got an infection on both sites of my hip and as a result, I am slowly going back to my pre op figure.
July 20, 2016
Oh no , I'm sorry to hear that . Is there an explanation as to why you got An infection ? Whay weren't you please with your bbl results ? Please do tell . The best doctor for bbl's in Houston is Cortes , I'm not really looking for a big behind so I don't go for him , please tell me .
July 20, 2016
I will post the pictures when I go home soon. I got an infection on both hips a week after the procedure. I had a fever, redness around both hips. I was prescribed an antibiotic to rid of the infection. Thick yellow pus was coming off my right hip. I spent nearly a week to drain that hip! Now the hips look kinda funny.
July 20, 2016
I do not know the reason but I am sure it is one of the complications of the surgery as it was 3 hours long. I was the last person on the day of the surgery so perhaps the tools got infected? I looked at Dr Cortes and met him a long time ago for bbl consultation but have mixed feelings about him just like you did. Have you tried to see Newall. He seems more credible. Tbh with you, I would go with the best bbl surgeon and would go out of town if I have. Those revision surgeries will pile up on you if you are not careful.
July 21, 2016
First off , I'm sorry you had to go through that , I understand how frustrating it can be not to get the results you are looking for - I have had my Breast done 3 times and finally will do them again with DR Mentz - he is in the same group as Dr.Newall . I consulted DR mentz for both surgery and he wanted to do everything in one surgery , I didn't want risk , one being under so long , two compromising my BBL as a Breat lift and a BBL have contradicting recoveries , one is face down , the other is on your back - he seems to think is ok , I don't want to comprimise my results - he is going to be my doctor of Choice for my breast lift .
He was pricey but very well respected in his field . I just don't know about a bbl with him , after seeing pictures .
I read a couple of Bad reviews on Dr Newall and got turn off .
did you see my wish pictures ?
I am being realistic ?
I will look at Newall again .

I have posted my results on my page. Feel free to look at it. You have a good figure and I am embarrassed to say that my result is as good as your pre op picture, lol.
July 21, 2016
I just placed a review with pics so perhaps it will take sometime before it is ready for view. In the meantime, I used my post op pic as my profile picture.
July 21, 2016
I see your Pic now . It's hard to judge the photo without a Before pic - do you mind private messaging me - I really don't want to make the wrong decion - it sounds like it would be a nightmare , like I said before I have had 3 breast jobs and now planning one more. Not to mention wasting money .
What would change about your booty now ?
Would you go
To somewhere else ?
They didn't give you antibiotics after surgery right away ?

You are right in that my post op results are relative to how I started, and I hope to get my pre op pictures from Dr Hsu's staff for comparison. My buttocks were poorly shaped-they were long, wide, flat and apple shaped- all four in one. The surgery initially was a success before the dreaded infection with the exception of the butt projection, and I was willing to let it slide until the infection storm hit both my hips (not one side but two!). If I were to request a revision, I would ask for the hip filling for a smooth, semi circular shape and more volume added at the center of the middle buttock for more volume instead of the flattened appearance. Had I known that I would end to this level, I would have definitely requested an appointment with Dr Hughes from Beverly Hills. I would rather be done with one surgery rather than stressing my body with repeated surgeries and shelling more money. A smart thing for you to do is to request an additional appointment with Dr Hsu and request for more pictures of people with similar shape as you, and express your worries about getting an infection and what can be done on his side to ensure that you do not get that! Infection means loss of fat in those areas. Mine is very visible upon close inspection.
July 21, 2016
Typically you are prescribed antibiotics and some pain medication for you to take after surgery. I had those for a week and surprisingly I got an infection on the hips so I had to call for an urgent appointment with Dr Hsu and was given stronger antibiotics.
July 21, 2016
Your feed back has been invaluable . Thank you for taking the time to help . I will do as you suggested as do have another appointment with him prior to surgery . I'm also thinking about swing de Newall - I would say that he has produced respected results in a resonable amount of patients . I just haven't seen dramatic shaping - I would say that given the limited amount of pictures that Dr.Hsu has available The change in overall shape is highly respectable relative to most doctors here - excluding cortes he is the exception .
That my attraction toDR hsu ,I think he can give more the shape I'm looking for .
I want a subtle projection , still would be nice . Anyhow , if you ever considered Roound two for projection I would skip Dr Hughes - he is ok - and head to Miami
For the Dr Salama - he is the best in my opinion . Check out dr Blinski he is a king at fixing bbl and resonable price . If you are willing to travel , I'm on the fence about the ordeal.
I'm thinking infections,revisions, headache of traveling . Too many moving parts for me to be gone for 10 days without my family - I have a daughter ..
Anyhow , see if you can the pre-ops . Thanks . Have a great day .

I looked into Dr Salama and he resembles Dr Cortes in his work. Results are unpredictable and seems that there are patients who had infection from him. Dr Salazar is among the elite but he is booked through 2017. Dr Blinski looks good from his experience so I might consider him to fix my mess. I went for Dr Hsu fpr the same reasons you mentioned and he did good on contouring my abdomen. I have alot of excess skin and excess fat on my abdomen so he did well on fixing the area. The rear is where I was upset at and felt that I spent money on liposuction only. BTW my review with pictures are up and running.
July 22, 2016
It's true Salama and Cortes have the same style .
Michael salhauzer ( dr Miami
) has a wait until 2017 , I don't get it .. Check out lpa30 profile for her experience with him - after 1 bbl and one revision it's still a hot mess and she lives in Cincinnati or Maryland can't
Recall .
I think you run the risk of running into complications no matter where you go .
While results can be more predictable with some more than others , you just never know .I have heard Cortes and Salama running people . Check out 150mmlover
Why did you go with German Newall ?

You waistlines awesome , you look tall ? I can see how you would want more projection
July 22, 2016
Thanks. I am 5'2". I guess the angle made me taller lol. I went with Dr Hsu instead of Dr Newall. Like you, I liked Dr Hsu because of his pictures on his page. When I went to see Dr Hsu for my first Op visit, he indicated that I did not have enough fat for him to extract and inject into the butt. perhaps he knew that I would be disappointed with the result after the swelling diminishes?
July 22, 2016
I meant my first after OP visit. BTW what do you mean when you stated that Dr Cortes was running people? Were his reviews fake?
July 23, 2016
Ha ! I type on my iPhone and the auto text amuses me .
I meant to say was that I have her of both of those doctors ruining people figures .
Why didn't he tell you pre-op that you didn't have enough enough for fat for both buttocks fat grafts and hips .
Or told you to gain weight ?
I would have been very disappointed if I'm told after that fact - oh yeah BTW you didn't have enough fat .. WHAT?
I been very concern with fat embolism and he ensured me that he only injects on top of the muscle . I hope I get the projection and lift I want ....
you like the lipo you said ? You can alway gain weight and get fix by Blinski in Miami - if traveling works for you .
I think you look great , I look forward to seeing the before pictures .

You said exactly what I had in mind when Dr. Hsu broke the news about the fat shortage lol. I informed the coordinator shortly that I should have known about the fat shortage before hand so I could inform Dr Hsu to lipo other areas as well. she indicated that I need to heal first and revise the results later. My BMI was and is currently at 25.0 and I am on the short side. I am not sure if gaining weight is going to help as I am have an apple shaped body type and the fact that he could not get enough out of my waist, flanks and lower back could mean that I have a crap load of visceral fat. I had a massive pocket of fat in my lower and upper abdomen-the shape from the side resembles the letter "B"- and Dr Hsu eliminated it completely. In the future, I may consider a tummy tuck to remove the excess skin and tighten the abdomen from the massive weight loss. Gosh these horror stories about Dr Salama is bothersome indeed. Makes you wonder if anyone actually died from him, but his results are phenomenal if you are a hit. It really is a hit or miss. Dr Cortes, on the other hand, I wonder if some of his reviews are fake. Some look very repetitive and goes along of "staff are friendly and you are in good hands....I highly recommend him." Did you ask Dr Hsu if he is comfortable with your areas of choice for liposuction? The more, the merrier and the less that you will end up with an incomplete procedure. My surgery was suppose to last for 3 hours but it was over in 2.5 hours, and you can only guess why.

Omg I feel the same way you do, I was at 170, lost 10 pounds so now 160 , 5.5. I feel that I carry all fat in my back and arms because my tummy is flat. Having my surgery in less than two weeks
August 6, 2016
How long did it take you to lose the 10 pounds ? I'm looking forward to seeing your results - 2 weeks ? Did you start your pre-op vitamins ?
Are you nervous ?
Are you nervous ?

It took me a month, I'm working out 5 days a week and trying to eat healthy. I've started taking vitamins 2 months ago.. I'm just ready for this I just want this over lol.. I'm excited
August 6, 2016
I'm
Going to try to loose a few , I feel like a fat cow . I been drinking wine and eating with out working out :-( like you these fat rolls are driving me nuts . You will be happy with your results , once it's all in your booty . Can you post back / booty pics ? Do you have any wish pics ?

August 6, 2016
I will post some today or tomorrow, I really don't have any wish pictures because I don't want to think that I can look like that and come out looking different .. the most important thing for me is to get all my back fat removed..
August 7, 2016
I hear you . My doctors take them in the operating room, it gives him an idea , like you I will be happy with shaping , getting the rolls off and rounding out my hips. I'm sure I will have an enhanced projection Which will be icing on the cake . I know I'm not going to look like them lol.
August 7, 2016
What is your waist measurement? It looks like 29 or 30 inch. No doubt it will be even smaller after sur.
August 7, 2016
I'm afraid to measure , I will as soon as I find my measuring tape .my stomach feels super bloated , I have no motivation to loose weight before surgery , I need to be doing cardio 4x week for the next 3 weeks and watching my diet ugh .
