BBL Journey

I have dreamed of a BBL for years, but I never really looked into it because:
1.) Financially
2.) Intense surgery
So finally I recently had a consult for a Botox at Timeless Plastic Surgery and ended up consulting for a BBL at the same visit. I ended up booking an appointment for a Buccal Fat Removal and Botox and put my deposit for that. There weren't many pictures posted on Real Self on Buccal Removals or BBL, but we'll just see how that goes. The day I had a consultation was with the coordinator, I never got to actually meet Dr. Chang himself which would have been more satisfying to meet and more assured. I did more research about the BBL and Im going to decide to not do a BBL with them.
I booked a few consultations with:
Dr. Cortes, a lot of bad reviews, but I actually had a friend that goes hers there and she loves her BBL.
Dr. Newell, $100.00 consult, like one comment said.."inconsistent"
Dr. Morales, good BBL pictures, but only 4 years of experience kind of scares me.
Dr. Hsu, many great reviews on a BBL and great consistent pictures.
From all that I'm reading I am super nervous because I have never been in any type of surgery or under anesthesia besides my wisdom teeth. I'm afraid of the outcome of the procedure and of course the healing process seems like a pain. I feel like I am kind of rushing the procedure due to my work schedule, but definitely will have it done by December.
All my consultations are set up for next week and I am anxious to get this over with!

I've been seeing posts on rs for the last three years the best work so far I've seen are from Dr. Aslani, Spain, Dr. Dass California and Dr. Hsu. Overall many patients are satisfied after the procedure. I would love to do my bbl but I can't at this moment because of financial issues

@ Dejohn94 Hello I seen your comment and for me I had sex after the 2nd week we just did it really slow and I tried not moving my butt to much lol kinda hard but we did it I was on top so I could control it and we had sex again the next week so it's doable just take ur time and see what works for you once your comfortable just don't lay on your back ;)
Hope that helps

Wish Pictures!
I ended up canceling all consultations except Dr. Hsu. I showed him my wish pics and how I absolutely loved marshy Marsh results. Without me asking further questions during my consultation he definitely answered everything I was going to ask about. My gut told me he was definitely the one and I was confident in my decision.

When do u have ur surgery
December 29, 2016
I had it done two days ago but I haven't had time to post yet since I'm still recovering. Will update very soon!
December 29, 2016
Can't wait to see! I pray fast recovery. I've had a consultation with Dr. Sato earlier this week. I'm pretty sure I'm going with her, (just not exactly sure on date) Dr. Hsu staff only replied to one of my emails and never got back with me on other emails. But I really feel good about her. Can't wait to see ur results:)

Thank you, go with whatever your guts tells you! I usually don't email the staff, calling them worked better for me. Maybe you should try calling?? Well hope your consult goes well!

Can you post more pics? Are you still loving your results? He does great work!!

Finally my dream of a BBL has came true!
Finally had my surgery on December 27th with Dr. Hsu. All the high antipating feeling is over and done with. Now I'm just dying with my two week results, hopefully it doesn't go down too much.
Everything went smoothly except the nurses at the hospital stuck me 4 times before the IV went in. Other than that dr. Hsu himself, the staff, were very nice and supportive even when I second guessed what I should do with certain areas we talked it over again and he definitely reassured me everything would look amazing. Here's one picture for Now of my before and after.
I have also called the office over 10 times and they were not annoyed at all lol, even Dr. Hsu has called me to see how everything was going. Which shows they really care about their patients!
As of right now, I'm still swollen, and bruised up, the procedure took about 4 hours plus an hour of recovering time. I was told originally he was going to put 700 cc but he ended up putting 900 cc in each side which is great too knowing it'll get smaller after two weeks. A total of 4000cc was taken out which he discard the rest. Hopefully that has taken some weight off of me!
I have also called the lumphatic massage therapist but she won't be back until January. Till then, I will keep you guys posted!
