Full Body Lipo and BBL with Dr Harold Villalobos in Cali, CO

I have some fat rolls and cellulite all over, hoping to get that smoothed out and improve my butt shape a little. I am also getting chin lipo and I might be having J-Plasma on my legs and chin to firm it up. My appointment is set for and only a few months to go...I’ll be staying in a recovery house recommended by Paola, Dr. V’s wife. I chose to go with this doctor, because of a recommendation from a trusted friend.

So I am so excited...hoping to have Dr. V “snatch me up.”

Even though I have a few months to go I am completely packed, already (aside from a few things that need to wait till the day of the trip to be thrown in my bag).

As far as health preparations go here is how I am preparing:

1. Dr V. said to take Iron 500 mg and Vitamin C 1000 mg 1 month before surgery, but on Youtube I have heard some doctors recommend starting that 2 months before (and a minimum of 1 month prior). Even though I have more than 2 months to go, I am feeling overzealous to be prepared I’ve already started taking that (half dose of each) plus I also started taking Chlorella pills (which are suppose to increase Hemoglobin levels, not that mine are low, but for this kind of surgery hight is better). Aside from those I’ve also heard some other doctors recommend taking Folic Acid and B-12, so I am taking that plus a multi-vitamin. I have also started taking a Grassfed Beef Liver pills (from a company called Ancestral Supplements because the reviews were so high on Amazon—people were saying these pills helped them with so many different aliments). Lastly to help keep me from getting sick until surgery I am taking Astragalus Root, which always helps me ward off colds and the flu.
Dr. V said all supplements except for the Iron and Vitamin C must be stopped 2 weeks prior to surgery (but can be resumed the day after surgery).

2. As for my body Dr. V requires a BML of under 35. Right now I’m at like 32, but he recommends being under 30, so while it’s not necessary, I’m trying to lose a little weight. Right now I believe I am about 202 lbs, but my realistic goal is to get under 190 for surgery, and I’d be really happy if I could get down to 185. My friend said Paola told her that the better shape you are in before surgery, the faster you will recover and the better the results, so my friend keeps telling me to exercise a lot before surgery. As for right now I made it a goal to try to walk for an hour a day and then do some weights in addition a few times per week. I might start to increase the intensity, but I have been feeling a little lazy also, so if I at least do that I’ll feel accomplished. Furthermore, I have an idea to help my fat/skin prepare for the surgery, but I’m not sure if it will make a difference. Over a year ago I purchased a Fascia Blaster, and it works!! But it takes a lot of time and effort to maintain the cellulite free look. However, since the Fascia blaster breaks up cellulite, I was thinking if until my surgery time I go hard core rolling that thing over my surgery areas it might help prepare my skin and fat for the trauma of surgery. I’m going to start doing that any day now, and let you know post op if I feel it made a difference (though I’ve never had lipo before so I have nothing to compare it to, except what I’ve heard about it from other people’s reviews).
3. Hair Preparations—so I have blonde hair, and one of my good friends who grew up in Cali said that she is scared I’ll be kidnapped or a target of unwanted attention in Cali because of my hair color. For this reason I purchased a black wig from Wish and it totally transforms my look. I packed t with me, but due to the heat there—its usually always around 89 degrees, I might be too hot to wear it. I’m also bringing do-rags (lol) and I might just dye my hair darker for the trip to make things easier. As for pre-op Dr. V requests patients have all pubic hair depilated, so in preparations for that I found a Brazilian Wax Place (from Groupon) and tried out my first Brazilian Wax...it hurt really bad for a like 1 second and then I was fine, (but I had an excellent waxer), but I got a skin rash—hives or like a razor burn look a few days following (my skin is super sensitive to shaving/waxing), so I have to figure out how to not get the after rash by surgery time. I plan on going again at least 1 more time prior to the pre-op one, so I can get that figured out.

Arm Goals:
So after booking with Dr. V, I found a surgical group on Youtube that does an arm Lipo Technique called “celebrity arms.” Dr. V. doesn’t have many arm pics on his site, but my friend who recommended him was there, at his facility, and said he does great work and not to worry. I really want the “celebrity arms” look, so I’m going to send him those pics before surgery in the hopes he can give me that look. I don’t just want my arms to look like the bottom half was chopped off (do you know what I mean?).

Stomach & Back Goals:
I want a flat stomach and no more rolls. I like my natural curve (that’s lurking under the rolls) and I like Dr. V’s curve style, so I don’t anticipate any problems there.

Leg Goals:
I mostly want my legs (especially the inner thighs) to get trimmed up and to be really tight. Throughout my life I have gone up and down in weigh, so my leg skin has a lot of cellulite and when I lose weight the skin sags slightly...making me super insecure to wear a bathing suit ????. For that reason I think J-Plasma will solve all my problems, however we decided that Dr V. will see me in person to determine if he thinks I need the extra process of J-Plasma it or not.

Chin Goals:
Same as above with the leg situation, when I lose weight my chin skin hangs a bit ??, so while I want the chin fat gone, I also want the skin tight...again, hoping the J-Plasma will be my hero, but Dr. V will determine if I need it or not when I see him in person (because sometimes lipo itself with the compression garments can cause some skin tightening which might compensate for my current situation).

Butt Goals:
I already have a nice butt (well in my mind at-least...I can’t really see my back side on a daily basis lol, but when I look in the mirror I like the side profile of it). A few years ago when I was in my peak of perfection (weight and exercise wise), I was dating a male model, and I asked him what he thought I could do to improve my body (yeah a deadly question lol). He said the only thing he could think of was that my butt could be a little better, so since then I have had it in my mind to get my butt shaped a little nicer. (On a side note this guys mom was from Colombia and had had BBL surgery there like 20 years earlier, and her butt was total perfection...so...that’s what I want too :) ). As for the shape, I want to maintain my slope butt, but have it a little more rounded out. Also my left but cheek has a slight dimple in the middle and I’d like that to get rounded out to match the right side (it’s really not very noticeable, but since I’m have the surgery why not perfect it if possible).

Under Arm Fat:
I have this piece of annoying like side boob/under arm/between bra and arm pit...well I guess it’s called armpit fat. That’s got to go.

Overall I want my look to be really natural and smooth.
