Lipo 360 and BBL

I chose Smart Shape and Dr. Fig because I liked his BBL pics. The office and staff is definitely unorganized, the address listed on their website is wrong (he's actually in a cramped 2nd floor space on MLK) and they overbooked because I waited an hour past my consultation time.
However, Dr. Figuredo seemed nice when I met him and he seemed confident he could give me what I was looking for, so I booked the appointment.
I was told to arrive for surgery at 6am, because I was the first case of the day. When I got there no one was there yet until 6:10am and then they had another patient scheduled ahead of me! I confirmed the night before, so this was definitely an error on their part. So I sat there waiting until 9:30 (yes, 3.5 hours of sitting there when I could have slept in longer) and then my surgery began around 9:45.
I'm 5 days post-op and feeling good, bruising isn't too terrible, except a few spots on my butt (and I do beuise easily), but I've been taking arnica and bromelain. My waist looks smaller, I can tell there's an hourglass shape, so I can't wait to see the real results in 3 months when all the swelling is gone.
All the nurses and OR staff were great and treated me well, I felt safe. They knew what they were doing and were friendly.
The main reasons for my 3 star review is front office staff disorganized, multiple texts and duplicates from different people. Like one hand didn't know what the other was doing, poor management. And the surgery day error of having me show up at 6am when someone was ahead of me! That was the worst part, because I could not eat or drink and it was cold inside and I was tired. Plus I confirmed the night before, so how did that even happen??

1 Month Post Op

My liposuction looks pretty good and I see improvements as time goes on, but the BBL is not so good. I had my post op today and Dr. Fig agrees it could use more volume and be evened out. The downside is I have to pay for operating and anesthesiologist costs. Once I reach 3 months he will lipo my banana roll and inner thighs to harvest fat for my butt. Hopefully I can achieve the desired results.
