Hooray I did it, I lost 40lbs with exercising and changing my eating habit, I'm really proud of myself. I am 5'6 and 180lbs now, it's time for the next chapter in my life "In Need of Curves". I've been researching this procedure for a year now. I have narrowed my search down to 3 PS's. I am feeling really good about Dr Cortes I feel he will give me the hips and well as the bootay projection I desire. I will be making my decision very soon. I really would like to make it happen by November 2013. Once I bring my husband on board with all of this, I think the decision to move forward will be much easier. He keep telling me to keep doing what I'm doing and I'll get the results I want. He doesn't understand my pain, there isn't any exercise in the world that will fill the dents where hips should be. I think now he's getting tired of me talking about it, he is finally realizing that I'm not going to let it die. I keep telling him he will benefit greatly.

Hello, Welcome. Dr Cortes is who I have also picked.I live in Arlington Tx and couldnt find anyone out this way. I had the ( dr jimerson, Dr Salama and Dr Dr Cortes) they all have different styles. Dr J was my first choice but he is too high for me and the work he do is good but not worth an extra 3000.00 for...lol. What helped me pick Dr C is because he is close to my house ( 4 hours ) so hat really helped.......... Byt anyways, welcome to RS. Best of luck to you PS: We almost have the same body shape. Your body look like mine. Dang near 100% So if yuu go in Nov I can tell how imma looked based off how you look ...lmao

Hello AlmostSexxy - Thanks! I am looking forward to the transformation. I want to lose at least 10 more pounds. So we have the same body type... Do you have the huge dents on both butt cheeks too? That's the area that I'm most concerned about because the Dr can only get fat volume that my skin will allow and I want hips. I think about this surgery day and night. Afraid of post op healing but I know the end result will make it all worth it. Are u scheduled?

I am so looking to xfer too. Its gonna mean everything to me. Just like you I think about the surgery all freakin day and all freakin night. I talk to my co workers about it. I even got them thinking about it. I talk to my BF about it too. I dont have the big dents but I have the small dents. But the belly you have is my belly. The rolls you have in your back, yep girl. I got them too..lol Maybe we was twins and switched at birth...lmao I want Dr C to suck all the fat he needs to suck out. Even if it leaves me with extra skin because there is so much fat gone. Ill just get a mini tummy tuck. Did you know they do mini tummy tucks now? They are great. You dont have the long scar and they dont have to do your belly button over. If I have alot of skin, thats my next move but I hope I wont have too...I want Dr C to put all the fat back into my butt and hips. I want him to put so much in there that it starts oozzing out...lmao. I know that girls lose fat cells and then the swelling goes down. They start off with a big booty and by time the fat cells lose and the swelling goes down, its not that big. So i have a plan. Make it EXTRA big so once the swelling goes down and that 3 month fat cell dieing thing is over ill still have a fat butt...lmao .......................... No i have not made my app yet. I e mailed and asked if they had some March dates open. Im waiting on them to e mail back. if they say yes,ill call and make an app. I need march because Ill get my income tax in Feb.
September 13, 2013
Girl we are definitely twins...lol. My strategy exactly for the fat extraction and placement. Mini TT will also be my next move, I'm going to find a PS willing to work with my PCP so I can have these damn fibroids removed at the same time as TT. A women's job is never done. I like Dr Cortes because he gives girls like me hope to one day rock beautiful hips.

Yes honey,I chiseled a little off of my muffin top through exercise& losing weight but it never completely goes away.It hides our shape.I read if we gain over 30 lbs our fat cells can multiply,not just get bigger but multiply!That explains why we can't get shape back even after losing the weight& how important it is to watch it after sx.Hey,on the upside since they multiplied,that's more cells to be injected!:D I've lost 42 lbs.I'm going to find that link to send to ya so you can show him;)Now,my butt got more toned when I exercised it BUTT it hasn't gotten any bigger from it even with weights added.I can't keep up with that routine all the time though because of my separated tummy muscles&back.Hope your man understands & comes around!Oh,hehe,I used a plastic surgery app to see what I'd look like after muffin gets sucked away n it's amazing to see what can possibly happen.I tried it with& without hips,made butt bigger etc..Made dents look non existent!WARNING:this app can be a little addictive too!Lol Cool cuz I've created my wish using my own body!Hopefully it's close to a realistic expectation.

Hey:)) I had no idea you were in the NYC area! Glad to hear you have a consult with Dr. Schulman! I have a tingling sensation in my lipo areas--abdomen mainly at times and my back on occasion--but no actual discomfort. What kinda results are you looking for?

I agree! Dr. Schulman will sculpt according to what fits your frame, will work with your wish pic and be realistic with what the outcome.
October 6, 2013
I believe Dr S will give me the natural curvy look that I'm seeking. My only hesitation with Dr S is hips. Will be inject directly in the hips? I know Dr C has no problems building hips.
October 6, 2013
I will definitely respect Dr S observation and assessment of my body to determine what fits my frame. My only request is to give me my sexy back. I'm tired of wearing balloon tops to cover up the stomach and long shirts to cover the fatty... They have done their time, its time to free them....LOL
