Hi everyone I was doing a Google search on BBLs and came across this website. Who knew there was a whole community out there! I am surprised, happy, and relieved to see I am not alone. I've been lurking for a few days spending hours upon hours reading everyone's blogs and looking at pictures. I am kind of smiling to myself as I see so many ladies going back and forth on what Dr. they want to go with because in just these few days I have gone back and forth myself.

Just a little background on me. I'm 48 years old 5'4" 213 lbs and a mother of 2 grown children. I had both children by c-section so my stomach muscles have been non-existent for years. Add gaining weight and you wind up with the blubber mess I am today. However, I have started to lose weight and am plan on losing more. I am waiting for some of the doctors on this site to give me a recommendation of how much to lose before getting a BBL. I'll definitely need a TT too and I want a BL to round out my new figure.

As far as doctors go its funny because Dr. Younai is literally right down the street from me - I pass his office when I go just about anywhere. The thing is with his pictures almost all of his patients start off as skinny minnies and I do not see much waist to hip action happening in the after photos. Then I check out Dr. Duran in the D.R. and I am really liking what I am seeing. The work is great the cost is fantastic. I guess I owe it to myself to at least set up a consultation with Dr. Younai. A friend had a consult with him about a BA, but that is waaay different than a BBL so we shall see.

I am still skimming RS to find out all the things I will need pre and post op. My hope and plan is to become an asset to all the ladies on this site - to give back and not just take. I welcome the support and want to offer support as well.

Ok, the journey officially starts now.... WEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Yesterday, which was a Saturday, I emailed my quote request to Yily and Duran in Spanish and English. Let's see how long it takes for them to respond.

In the meantime like most of you reading this now, I continue to spend hours upon hours on this site looking around and reading blogs. Well I came upon one that stopped me dead in my tracks. She was looking for a BBL here in L.A. and she went to Dr. Hughes. Now I looked at Dr. Hughes' work early on, which was very nice, but did not see the kind of butt I wanted in any of his photos. I had my head pretty much set to go the D.R. but was going to see him out of due diligence of checking local doctors with no real expectation of ever using him.

Well, along comes (Mesna) who not only writes a glowing review of Dr. Hughes and his staff, but has some incredible photos of her procedure to back it up. Her wish photos were like some of those that want to go to the D.R. for their surgery.

At first I was a little concerned about a back fold she had, but when reading the blog it sounds like it was more due to her wearing her compression garment wrong and later in the blog she said the fold was doing much better.

But the point is Dr. Hughes will inject a high number of cc's and knows how to sculpt the dip in the back and s-curves on the sides. His photos do not make one think he does that kind of work. But apparently he does...who knew!!

In reading some of the comments on Mesna's thread I ran across some other women who had BBLs (SummaTimeFine) with Dr. Hughes and again I must say I was impressed.

Sooo, my eyes have been turned back to my own backyard instead of 3 time zones away.

A few days ago I posed a question to all the doctors and Dr. Hughes was one of the 4 doctors that responded. I will take that as a good sign. I will wait to see if Yily and Duran respond and if they do great, if not then so be it. I am also going to check out Dass, Younai, and Dr. J - all here in the Los Angeles/Beverly Hills area.

BTW I am seeing that Dr. Hughes is being called thee bootie doctor of the West.

One other thing I would like to add - check out Mesna's blog on compression garments it is thorough and comprehensive.

Until next time, happy BBLing ladies!
