BBL REVISION

ORIGINAL POST

Excited for my Lipo Procedure in July

ChinaDollCalva
WORTH IT$6,300
Hi guys. I had A BBL done 2 years ago in Mexico. I posted my journey on my page if you would like to see it. Since then life has shi++ed on me non stop. Then 2020 happened and now I'm 20 lbs heavier the bad way.... The cost for my procedure with Dr.Salas is $3500 +$600for chin +$600for arms and +$700 for thighs. So the total cost for my whole body will be $5400. I was told this was a special for May.
I got a bbl in Mexico for $3000 which included my whole body lipo and chin.
My Dr was worth it but my personal opinion. I rather get it done in Miami for almost double the price than get it done in Mexico.
From what I can tell with the pics I've seen on 305 Instagram Dr Salas is very good at what he does. He is also registered and boardified as a plastic surgeon.
I am booked for July 2nd which just happens to be my husband's bday. He said he'll be okay cruising the streets of Miami by himself lol
I have already booked for my hotel and flights. I got most of it covered by using my mileage I've accumulated the last couple of years through my credit card.
I got my labs done 2 days ago and let me tell you something!!! My lab work cost me $600!!!! That does not include my ekg and physical exam. Which I'm doing right now as we speak. If you hard enough you will find a lab that would do all your testing for around $200. My ekg and exam is costing me another $100. I found this low in come clinic this morning.
I have 9 more days left until I fly to Miami yay!!!

What all is required for the exam ekg and labs? Would insurance cover this

You would need paperwork from your surgeon requesting for lab work. Insurance won't cover cosmetic surgery. But if you look at low income clinics they should be able to do everything for $200 instead of $700 like I paid.

It's obvious most cosmetic sx isn't covered unless you needed a BR due to medical/health issues. However the pre-op testing should of been covered.

Day of treatment

Here now waiting to get my surgery.

So today is the day!!! My appointment time is 3pm its now 3:30pm There's this girl here thats been waiting since 12:30 for her appointment. She said her Dr is Dr Salas. So if we have the same Dr that means I won't be next until 4-6 hrs. I asked them and they said her Dr is Dr Price or something like that. We'll see....
You are not allowed to get your prescription until you go into surgery. Since my surgery is the last one they will give it to my husband when I go into surgery so we could still get to the post office before it closes. That is such a stupid rule.
I agree with other people this clinic is disorganized. Half the staffs are really sweet and others are bit%$es. If you could I would go with Dr Salas at his own clinic and avoid it here.

Hi

13 days post

2 weeks post op

I finally went into surgery around 8 something 5 hours after my appointment. DR Salas is so talented and amazing. He is absolutely great and honest and what he does. I had no idea but what I was getting ended up a bbl revision. He told me the last Dr did not do a good job on me. There was a lot of uneven areas. At a point his assistant came in and ask me if I'm sure I didn't get ass injections -____-
I came in for lipo on my chin, arms,inner thighs, all my stomach, and my back. When Dr Salas was marking me he said he was glad I'm getting a bbl because I needed a bbl revision. His Assistant corrected him and told him I'm only getting lipo. So after realizing I needed a bbl revision I paid another 1k.
I'm really glad I listened to him. My butt was very unnatural looking. It had dents in it and it was shape odd.
Now that I'm 2 weeks op and feeling better I'm soooo glad I chose Dr Salas. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone any day!!! My body is so natural looking. I finally have a tiny waist, my back dips, and a wonderful sexy ass
Not only that.... He lipo my cooch and knees for free. I didn't even know I needed that. Honestly if it wasn't for 305 clinic he probably wouldn't had charge me extra for my thighs. He loves what he does and he always make sure he does his best.

Honestly I thought that's what would happen to my butt after years if I got a bbl like I'm planning. It scared me but then when I read that it wasn't done correctly the first time it was a relief. You look super hot this time around! You are my wish pic now. That's how good you look
