New to RealSelf but I've been doing research using this site for a while (years) now. For a long time I searched for the right doctor to do my fat transfer (bbl). Now that I am graduating from RN school, I've decided to do this as my graduation gift to myself. I decided to do the fat transfer because I've always had hips but my backside don't match up well. My hips are wide and my butt is a little flat (lol). I've had a few consults and decided to go with Dr. Randy M. Dean at Strax Rejuvenation in Lauderhill, FL. The first consult I had with him was with my sister at the same time. So I called back and they let me do another free consult with him before paying my down payment. I was pleased with what he explained he would do, he wasn't irritated with the fact that I asked for another consult and he answered all the questions that me and my boyfriend asked. Yes my boyfriend went with me on my consultations, I mean he has to look at it so his opinion counts and he will definitely give me a honest one. Dr. Dean was very nice. I couldn't find any reviews on him, so I would take no reviews or complaints as a good thing. He pointed out the same areas to take the fat as the other doctors so I also took that as a sign that he knows what he's doing. He also told me he would use PRP (plasma rich protein) so the size of my buttock will grow even more over time. PRP makes the fat cells grow which would cause growth in my buttocks. I've already did my blood work I'm just waiting to schedule the surgery. I have to work around my graduation date in Sept 2013. Hopefully I can schedule before graduation. I'm trying to do it before I start working so I don't have to take time off of a new job because that would be quite tacky (lol). I am so excited that my dream of having A** is almost reality LOL. I'll continue posting because I know Strax has some bad reviews but they also have good ones and I know of people who have went there with very good outcomes. Hopefully I can give a good review on their BBL...we shall see!!

Hi, I also have an appt with Dr. Randy Dean in October. Have you had your surgery yet?
October 30, 2013
Request another Doc thats there to do procedure. This is not his area of specialty.
September 26, 2013
No I haven't had surgery yet. Hopefully it will be soon because I am sooo ready. I'm shooting for October or early November. I'm waiting on a cash payout that I should receive within the next 3 weeks so I can get all necessary items and expenses squared away before I schedule.

Don't go to dr. Dean he's not good as you think he is he's a cosmetic surgeon for the hair not for the butt and he don't know how to sculpture your butt right he did mine and I didn't like it your best choice to me will be dr. nees or zeitner
UPDATED FROM Snatched28
I thought I would've had surgery by now :(

I'm waiting on a payout that I haven't received yet in order to continue with my surgery preparation process. Received confirmation on September 16th that it's being processed and I should receive my money within the next 3 weeks. So hopefully my surgery will be in October or early November. Gosh I was hoping I would be sexy and headed through recovery by now. Welp we shall see how things workout soon.

sorry to hear that... what happened?did not he give you enough of volume or his lipo is not good?
November 2, 2013
I have absolutely no volume in my buttocks. It looks exactly the same as it did pre-surgery. He did a nice job on the lipo but I don't feel he's experienced enough in the tranfering fat section.
November 2, 2013
I had the tickle lipo done on this past Thursday. I am waiting to see results so far I am very swollen so things still look the same to me. I noticed my stomache looks a bit longated now... He said its because of the fluid resting in my ouch and my body has release it naturally. I have quit a few bruises. Love handles are gone yeah! But my tummy still seems the same... I will posting shortly. Dr Dean was very nice, the staff in the surgical part were different compared to the consultation nurses and sales agent. They made me feel like I was at a car dealership. Thanks Snatched28 for the reply. Can't wait to see pics!

give it some time to heal ,when the inflammation start going down you will be able to see change in shape of your body but you need at least 3 -6 months to start seeing your final results:)
November 3, 2013
I truly feel for you. do you think you will try round #2 with another ps?
November 3, 2013
He said he will do it over again in 3 months when all the healing is done. He is truly a very nice guy. But I've researched this for years and your butt suppose to be bigger directly after the surgery and then lose volume as healing and swelling subsides. My buttock is truly the same size as before and even if it softens more, which it already softening, there's no way it could change its already flat shape and become round...its impossible.
November 3, 2013
From research it says your tummy will swell but afterwards return to the flat state that was seen the first day of surgery. My tummy is swollen and hard also but I'm waiting for the final result. My pouch went away after about a week I think. Make sure to wrap your tummy as tight as u can take after the first week.
November 3, 2013
Ok I thought maybe something was wrong but i guess the fact that my abdomen right above my vagina is supposed to look this way since its only been 4 days. It seems to be going down. My stomach, back, bra strap and flanks seem to be getting tighter and swelling more as the days go by. I haven't had alot of pain though. Snatched28, were you given I sleeping instructions? I actually feel more comfortable laying on my tummy but I am not sure if I should.i find myself peeing alot too
November 4, 2013
Yes u will pee alot and u should sleep in whatever position is comfortable for u.
November 15, 2013
How did it go? Please, I have tickle lipo schedule, but i don't think he is the right guy. Please help...
November 20, 2013
Request Dr O. (the black guy with the crazy name). I talked to a few of his patients when I went back for my post op. They told me he does very very good and plus almost the whole lobby was his patients. They say everyone ask for him so that's who I would go with.
November 29, 2013
Did doctor dean do it can you post or email me before and after pics I can't find anything goo on him and I really wanted to use him
November 29, 2013
I'm planning on doing some tickle and bbl I feel for me it's more important to look skinny rather than have a huge butt but then again I'm just looking to have a nice round butt not so much a big butt so say I feel I should have had more fat out would the do round two for what fee or at least what did they offer you?
December 4, 2013
I didn't ask for a big butt either I just wanted it rounded out. If u want to go to him then go it's your choice I'm just speaking on my experience.
January 3, 2014
Listen you've made up your mind it doesn't matter how many more pics u see. I've said before MY BODY LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME just like the other girl who he just did. Just like the others who have a review on him. It's your money u can pay him and hope and pray for a different outcome. U already know your surgery is tomorrow and u are not going to change your mind even if you see more pics.
April 30, 2015
