My gluteal augmentation with Dr. Mark Mofid is...

WORTH IT$10,500
My gluteal augmentation with Dr. Mark Mofid is just 2 days away. I was researching different brands of gluteal implants when I came across the instructional video that Dr. Mofid did for Implantech. After seeing the video, there is NO WAY I can have any other surgeon perform this surgery on me. I was blown away by his expertise on the topic and his attention to details during the procedure. He was trained in this procedure in Brazil, and did a case study involving 1,000+ butt implant surgeries. You just have to see the videos for yourself to understand why I am adamant about having him work on me. I need a surgeon with an extensive background in this procedure, and after careful research, I’m positive that Dr. Mofid is the right surgeon for me.
I went into the consultation already knowing that he was the one, and meeting him just validated my decision even more. He spent plenty of time getting to know me and my goals for the outcome of this surgery. The plan that he’d proposed for me was very individualized based on my desires, anatomy and body frame. He didn’t treat me like I was just another number or statistic. I feel like a patient that he sincerely cares about.
Some info on me:
Age: 24
Height & Weight: 5’2’’ and 114 lbs
Measurements: 34-25-35 (Chest, waist, & hips)
Scheduled Surgery: Buttock Augmentation w/out Lipo/Fat Grafting
Implant Type: Contour Flex TM Implantech – Round, Natural Contour, 275 cc’s
Placement: Intramuscular
I chose the round, natural contour implants instead of oval because I do a lot of weight lifting at the gym and don’t want to deal with the oval implants rotating. I know it’s only a small chance, but I still don’t want to take it. I also don’t like the original round implants because they tend to look very pointy on thinner patients. The new round, natural contour (designed by Dr. Mofid) by Implantech was designed to fix that problem.
I know 275 cc’s sounds like a small size, but I’m perfectly fine with that because I already have a curvy behind to add on to. Keep in mind that your initial buttock size will affect your post surgery size. It’s similar to breast augmentation. My friend and I both got the same size breast implants (425 cc’s), and her final result was noticeably smaller than mine because I started with a 34B and she was a 34A.
Dr. Mofid is highly skilled at making sure that the implants are imperceptible to others, impalpable, and well hidden within the gluteus muscles. It’s all about having the surgical skills to dissect a pocket with adequate tissue coverage on top of the implant and not so deep to avoid having sciatic nerve problems. Not many surgeons can do this successfully because it’s a much more difficult technique for the surgeon to ensure such a delicate balance.
Anyway, I will update and post more after surgery. I’m sort of using this review page as my journal also. I hope this review was helpful and informative. I highly recommend Dr. Mofid for all your surgery needs. Please have a consultation with him about your prospective surgery. It will be well worth your time.

Dr. Mofid is THE BEST! So in love with my results!
bbw858August 21, 2015
Yep, I was right about choosing Dr. Mofid for my surgery. Sorry for the late post ladies. I have been sleeping and resting a lot since my surgery. These pictures are from the day after surgery. I hired Dr. Mofid's nurse to stay with me overnight. I was able to shower on my own by the next day. The first 48 hours were the toughest. I was walking like a penguin, waddling and walking slow. Lol
Dr. Mofid called twice to check up on me. His nurse even gave me the doctor's cell number if I have any questions or problems. He is the most caring doctor I have ever met. He asked his nurse to drive me the next morning to see him and then asked her to drive me home after too. The nurse even picked up some groceries for me. I honestly cannot say enough great things about his entire surgical team. The anesthesiologist was also a great doctor. He tried making me laugh because I was nervous that morning. My post op checkup was on day 2, and then I have to see him again in 1 week.
Dr. Mofid said I don't have any swelling, which means my size right now will pretty much be the final result. If anything, it will improve overtime as I start working out again. He didn't use any drains because he said I was not bleeding much at all. I don't even have to wear a compression garment because I'm not swollen. Yay!!
My butt looks so much fuller and curvier than before. I am extremely satisfied with my results and the implant size that he picked for me. Are you guys ready for the best part?? I CANNOT FEEL MY IMPLANTS! My butt feels amazingly soft and toned like my real gluteal muscle. They were placed intramuscular so when I grab my butt all I feel is my muscle concealing the implants. The implants just blend in with my butt and does not feel like I have implants there at all. It feels super natural, yet I still got the amount of volume that I wanted! I am so impressed with Dr. Mofid.

Oh my God...your results are beyond words. By far the best I have seen. I have my sights on your surgeon now. Congrats on your wonderful results and happy healing xx
August 22, 2015
Thank you goldi_gurly. I briefly read over the reviews about your BBL. I'm sorry that you had to go through that. No patient deserves to be treated in that manner. I think you should really look into getting butt implants next because the results will be more permanent than BBL. I know that with fat grafting, it may not last long because the transferred fats don't survive. When you get a chance, definitely set up a consultation so you can feel the Implantech gluteal implants in person. They feel very soft & flexible compared to the older implants. I have pictures of the implants from my consult if you would like to see them. Just let me know, thanks.
August 22, 2015
Thanks so much for taking the time to reply. I do feel like my lower body has been ruined by my BBLs and lipo and am not going to admit defeat, I really do want implants. My bottom is almost completely flat now. It was round to start off with but the curve of your back in your after pics made me so envious as that's exactly what I paid all that money for! I live in the UK so setting up a consultation face to face is a little tricky but I've seen Dr Mofid's videos and they look amazing, and he seems like such a knowledgeable and sensitive person. I would absolutely love to see your pics and would be delighted if you PM'd me. I was planning to go with Stanton but I love that Dr Mofid can mould the implants to the patient's own specifications, this seems a lot more individually-tailored to me.

Hi there I just read the review of your surgery, and I'm getting mine done next month. I'm really exited and hope I'm happy with the results too. Doctor suggested me 275cc too but I ask if I could go bigger they said 325cc is the largest they'll do for me. I was hoping to see some pick of yours if you don't mind, and also wondering if you know are the two sizes much different from each other? Thank you.
August 22, 2015
Looks great ! Is there a before picture you can upload this would be helpful to compare the pre and post op results - again great results !
August 22, 2015
Hi there skinnyinside, I did have a few before pictures on my review. I took it off because I was getting inappropriate messages from someone. A few members saw my before pictures, but I'll put them back up soon. Thanks
August 24, 2015
You look fantastic! He did a beautiful job!
August 24, 2015
Thanks Jacqueline! I couldn't have asked for a better surgeon. I cannot feel or see the edges of the implants. He did a wonderful job. =)
August 25, 2015
Of course he's caring. He's getting paid the full fee. Your PCP, who accepts your insurance gets paid a contractual rate by the insurance. Usually half of the actual billed charges. If Im paying someone $8500 to $12000 I better be getting my ass kissed.
August 26, 2015
Plastic surgeons do not have to kiss their patients' asses. You're paying for their service, not for the doctors to kiss your ass. If that is your mentality then you will be highly disappointed when you come across doctors who don't care about their patients. My surgeon was paid for the procedure. How well he treated me after was completely optional. I've read plenty of bad reviews about doctors who get paid thousands of dollars and their patients end up with horrible results and bad aftercare.
August 26, 2015
Nicely put TeamMofid. I am one of those people who, unfortunately, paid out the best part of $10,000 for horrible results that ruined my legs to the point I am now seeking out further surgery to correct this. I found my doctor initially pleasant but gradually more and more rude to the point that the refused to speak to me, his colleagues were utterly unprofessional towards me and his aftercare was non-existent (he actually got on a plane to go on holiday right after my surgery so I didn't see him again). What better evidence that paying someone thousands of dollars will not necessarily lead to good treatment. In contrast, I have been in contact with another surgeon who I have not paid a penny to, just discussed the possibility of surgery. He has been exceptionally caring and kind towards me. I think most smart people can differentiate between someone who is genuinely caring and kind, and someone who is just after money.
August 26, 2015
Thank you goldi_gurly. Unfortunately that's the sad truth and I'm glad you agree with me. I wish your surgeon was more professional and ethical towards you. I can't wait to hear good news about the outcome of your revision. Keep me posted!
August 27, 2015
Hey you guys. I meant no harm by my comment. I have had bad results for facial surgery (not a face lift) and breast augmentation. I will say that my doctor was over the top nice to me and after a few checkups, he seemed to have no interest in me whatsoever, thus my comment.
August 27, 2015
I disagree with your last statement. Well practiced surgeons can slap that smile on their face and make you believe they are more caring than they are. It has nothing to do with being "smart enough" I do believe that there is an abundance of people on this sight that would debate you statement, "I think most smart people can differentiate between someone who is genuinely caring and kind, and someone who is just after money." Seriously do you really mean that. (rhetorical)
August 27, 2015
Just my opinion, you're welcome to disagree but I do think that 'most' (most being the operative word) can differentiate between someone who has time and care for them and someone who is doing it for the sake of his business. When I was consulting for my breast aug, I met 3 surgeons who seemed very nice but certain ways in which they behaved indicated they were more concerned with money, for example they cut their consultations short, pestered me to make an appointment etc. When I found my surgeon, she was lovely, caring and the aftercare was exceptional. The statement was based on my experience, maybe yours has been different. I'm sorry to hear about the poor surgeries you have endured.

275 cc's were perfect for my small frame. My goal was to enhance what I already had instead of going too big.

hello there, WOW what a great/natural result! i've been searching dr.mofid for a while and i was sure he is the one to go to and after reading your review i am glad that my instinct were right! i have a couple of questions if you don't mind: how long after the procedure you started sitting down? how does it feel? was it hard using the bathroom? i am a guy so i am not concerned about no.1 lol, i will be travelling from the middle east for this procedure and i will be alone is there any tips for the recovery? any nearby good hotels you recommend to stay in for the recovery? and how much does it cost hiring the nurse? i am sorry if i am being annoying with my questions but your review makes me wanna get it done tomorrow lol, have a nice day :)
August 23, 2015
Hi moeamm, Dr. Mofid doesn't want his patients to sit for at least 3 weeks. You can lay on your stomach or your sides. It feels great! I am really impressed with how well the implants are hidden within the gluteus muscles. It just feels like a toned workout butt. You can't feel or see the edges at all. I read on here about other patients having that problem, and now I know it's because those probably weren't done right and are over the muscle. Dr. Mofid puts them within the muscles so that you have thick tissue coverage on top of the implants. He was not lying when he said you won't be able to tell by feel or touch. Squatting down to use the bathroom was tough the first 48 hours. There is a Marriott Hotel that is a walking distance to his office on Regents Park Row. There are also Courtyard Marriott and Residence Inn Marriott about 3-4 miles away from his clinic on Scranton Road. Dr. Mofid's nurse can be hired for overnight care and her price starts at $500 a night. It is definitely worth it though. He has the best nurses. She made sure all my meds were taken on time. She bought groceries for me and even drive me to my post op appointment the next morning and then drove me home. I hope I answered all your q's. Feel free to ask me anything else you need. = )

Hi mslovehearts, I'm not from the UK. I'm from San Diego. Lol
I think you got me confused with goldi_gurly. She's from the UK and she commented on my review. I know the price for gluteal implants vary from patient to patient. I paid $10,500 for mine without lipo or fat grafting. Just the implant surgery alone. If you are flying in then I think the doctor will ask you to stay at least 5 days before you can fly home.

Awesome! I'm glad you scheduled it. You will love the new and improved butt of yours. I seriously cannot stop touching mine. They just feel so amazing. I never thought a butt can feel like this with implants. Now I know that it's possible but only with the right surgeon. My mom said my butt looks too big now so I'll take that as a compliment. Lol
August 23, 2015
girl you made my day :) it's well hidden because the implant is the natural contour type which dr.mofid designed for implantech (the no.1 company for silicon implants) that's the main reason my gut told me to choose dr.mofid, i hope my recovery will be as easy as yours, thanks allot for answering my questions i really appreciate it, and let mention again that your new booty looks like a million bucks :) have a good day dear xoxo
August 23, 2015
Awww, you are too sweet. Thank you for the compliments. And you are right about the natural contour type being well hidden. You definitely did your research. I wish you the best with this surgery and I'm sure you'll love your new behind. Keep me updated. Thanks! = )
August 23, 2015
Hi, how was the pain after the surgery? You said you did whithin the muscle. I suppose the recovery is better than under the muscle, right?
August 23, 2015
Yes, my implants are within the muscle. I'm taking Flexeril to help relax my muscles and Percocet for pain. The first 48 hours my pain level was about 6-8 on a scale from 1-10. By day 3 the pain went down a good bit and I was able to shower on my own and take a 5-10 minute walk outside. I don't know which placement has a better recovery because I only had mine within the muscle. This is more painful than my breast augmentation for sure. The pain is worth it to me though because I love how nice my butt looks now. Lol
August 23, 2015
Thx for reply. My goal is the same as yours: enhance what I already have and not put too big. Is the projection only 3cm, for 275 cc? I've seen other surgeons and they say I can go between 275cc or 300cc, because I don't want to big or too much projection. Could you upload some more recent pictures? I'm just worried with the technique: under or within the muscle . I just don't know which one is better in long term. I wanna do this jut once and not having any complications, as I'm from Portugal. I had none with my breast implants, hopefully this will be the same.
August 24, 2015
Hi, I never asked how many cm's of projection would 275cc give me because when I held it in person at the consult, I knew they were big enough to give me the look I wanted. I compared the 275cc implant to my favorite padded underwear that I was wearing and it was thicker than my padded underwear. And yes, you only want to go through this surgery once because it's a big commitment so you want it done right the first time. I think if you want a natural, enhanced result then don't go above 300 cc's. Mine were only 275cc and it made a tremendous difference. As for the placement, I read that under the muscle will give you a higher chance of sciatic nerve compression. I like that mine are in-between the muscles because it keeps it place and will not sag later.
August 24, 2015
I haven't taken any new pictures, but I will post more as soon as I do. Nothing has changed much since last week. My butt is still the same size, but a lot less sore. Unless you meant pictures at a different angle then I can PM some to you.
