Well I'm 20 years old, I have a slightly big tummy and no butt and no shape. I have nice sized breasts though. And I feel like I need a Brazillian Butt Lift... BADLY! I just have a lot of issues at the moment.. I have two low income jobs so i don't know if I'll be able to afford this surgery plus everything i need for it, don't really have much support backing me and I'm scared! Lol
After doing my research on this particular surgery for quite some time most of you ladies that have already had it done came out looking AMAZING! But spent a pretty penny on it all... :/ and then some didn't come out so great and then there's the pain so I'm pretty sure you can tell where my fears are coming from. I've been looking at reviews of doctors here in the Houston area where I live and the only surgeon that I haven't seen one bad review about is Dr. Cortes, not to mention his before and after photos look great as well. He's just really expensive and this worries me...
I'm ready for my life to change and to start looking great though so I really want this procedure to be done. I guess I could just use a little support and talking to from some if you lovely ladies from RealSelf to calm me down and keep me motivated. I would appreciate that. :)

Hi Cami! I agree w brwnsuga! I apologize for missing the financial part that you spoke on above n ur journal. I would prioritize your life first! Putting food on your table, ability to mke your rent and if tou have three mos saved up in case of emergency! Time available on both your jobs to take off for three mos to recover if u have a tt and bbl, have u done at least two yrs of research interviewing both in USA and internationally? Honey you're young, about children n your future? Real talk!! Think about these things, take your time and save your CHEESE in order to be able to call your shots about your precious temple(body)!! Pray to God ssk him to give u direction in ordering your steps and watch all doors begin to open in uour life!

Yes that's what I'm doing. I'm saving and praying first. I spoke with my jobs about the time off already but I guess whenever I do go for it I'll have to remind them. Yea but for now I'm gonna get my life together. And yes I have been researching for about 2 years now. I'm just ready to be happier with myself and see how my life changes.

Hey @Sexeeangel I know you're getting tired of me bothering you with questions about the bbl but I wanted to know... How is your life now? Are guys giving you looks like they want you? Are you still paying on the surgery?

Hey welcome to rs. dont worry, you are not alone in your apprehension and anxiety about the sx, the money, the resutls etc. Most of us have been there. Some still are. But have you ever thought about going to a teaching hospital in your area or close by to see if they have a plastic surgery clinic. If so you can check that out, because they are extremely cheaper than the private plastic surgeons. Good luck and I will be following your journey.

Welcome aboard Hun I totally understand your fear we all have it.. Have you looked into financing it thru care credit or which ever Dr. You choose office coordinator can assist you with which financing company the doctor works with, but your credit has to be decent.

Hmm actually I do have pretty good credit, how does care credit work? Would I have to make payments? Is it easier doing that??
User Avatar

@ camicamz44 yes that's exactly what it is. Like a ceedit account that u make monthly paymenys to. But get your quote, doctor & date first like I said the office coordinator will be able to assist you with applying. But def make sure you can afford & 100% for sure u want to do it..
