I had the procedure done in Beverly Hills and IT...
$14,600
I had the procedure done in Beverly Hills and IT WAS WORTH IT! The most fat that can be extracted from your body with out you having to be under intensive care for your weight is 5 LITERS (as was mine) and that transfers to 1400 cc's, which 700 cc's per butt cheek. (What I got!)
My butt was HUGE!! I was scared, then it went down and now it is perfect =)...I did not sit, drive, NOTHING for 6 weeks straight. It was well worth it. If you sit on the fat it will dissolve, but u keep about 75% (because usually ppl start sitting around 3 weeks) My doc said I looked like I kept about 90% due to my efforts so I was pleased. 700 cc's is MORE THAN ENOUGH! Its not a fake looking Nicki Minaj butt, but a rounder Kim Kardashian look. I love my butt now!!
It takes 6 months to see final results since the lipoed areas take forever for the internal swelling to heal (which is soooo true!) I had lipo in my lower back right above my buttocks and I thought I was pretty much all healed after 6 weeks but I still feel a little pressure when I move and its STILL SHRINKING! My booty is looking even better and I am so pleased because the arch looks even better! So all in all you should be happy and you will love your new butt!
Tips: Drink A LOT of water (it will help you heal faster and diminish any surgical scars), and DON'T SIT! to keep as much of the fat as possible...
I also want to add that my little scars from the fat insertion areas have diminished after 5 months! So be patient your final results will be amazing!

oh just realised u did it in LA not miami...lol...its all just america to me...how long have u had ur results now and do u think doing butt excercises like lunges helps it stay firmer? u look quite slim in ur before pics so im surprsed he managed to take so mch out of u..i'll probs have to put on a little weight before mine...thanks for answerin my questions mate :-) x
February 25, 2011
I dance and wieght train and yes I DO believe that lunges/ squats, etc keeps ur booty high and firm! I also run up and down stairs occasionally. Had my results about 6 months
March 1, 2011
WOW girl you look GREAT!!!!! It gives me hope, I'm one week out exactly and my dr. put 740 each cheek! I am already seeing a very nice contur but I do understand it will go down some more. I've been taking vitamins 2 weeks b4 surgery and I still am as per my doc.I am drinking plenty of water and vitamin water I HOPE I can get Just as good if not bigger results then what you have (you look amazing)! What is ur best advise to keep as much fat as possible?
March 1, 2011
drink 2 liters of water a day at least! make sure your urine is clear to aid in healing twice as fast..and do not sit no matter what!! not even a little bit! for a minimum of 6 wks! sleep on your stomach and hang in there. 6 wks flies by!
March 1, 2011
hey ladybuggmi...wow 740 is quite a lot i was under the impression that the max the doc could put in was 700cc...where did u get urs done and how is the pain?? :-) x
March 2, 2011
The max for ME was 700 for MY size...the most he could take out my body was 5 liters but it depends on ur size and your medical clearance, since you have to get a physical before you can be eligble for surgery. So after that your doc will let you know YOUR individual MAX based on your physical and other factors. Hope that helped bye
March 2, 2011
Hi coco-ebony! I hear so many different stories on the "max" fill but my doc actually told me he put 1000cc's each cheek in one person so I guess it depends. I got mine done by Dr. Markmann in Baltimore MD. He is really sweet and very knowledgeable with the bbl. As far as pain goes.......GIRL.....the first 2 to 3 days :-O I regretted every moment of ever having it done! BUT a week and a day later lol I'm loving my "Kim K" look, I've never had hips but now I'm loaded with cures :-)) I just hope I don't lose to much because it's still very early and there will be more fat lost :( If you want you can check out the Dr,s website at discoverthebeauty.com There are PLENTY of BBL pics and that's what sold me. His work is unbelievable!!!
March 2, 2011
Hi Minaj, how long was it for you when you notice you were keeping the fat? Another words how long will it be b4 the booty fat is permanent, I know everyone is different I just wanted to know your experience? I heard 3 weeks and I heard 3 months.
March 2, 2011
I didnt sit for 6 wks and after that my booty was still really high...i also could still feel some of the soreness from lipo...it started to subside around 3 1/2 months i noticed my booty dropped and rounded put and since then has retained all of its fat
March 2, 2011
Hi ladies! Minaj you look awesome babydoll!! Ladeebuggmi congrads on the surgery! I too am a few weeks from getting the butt lift, If you dont mind me asking how much did you weigh proir to surgery? I'm 5'7 and 170 pounds so I'm a pretty decent size. I also want a nice size butt, but mainly a want hips, because mine are pretty square. Is there any thing I need to tell my doctor he knows that my hips are whats the most important!! can you ladies give me advice. Thanks dolls!
March 3, 2011
as far as helpin the hips, Yea it definately can but before you go under the knife you need to be real clear to your doctor about what you want. I had square hips as well, (you see in my before) and my ps grafted fat to that area also. So yes, its possible, but you have to tell him!! My hips were narrow, and my ps is amazing so he's the one who suggested it grafting to my hips, Or I woulda had a booty with no hips! And when I showed him a pic of Deelishiz, showing him what I wanted he told me he would fill in my middle gluteus region AGRESSIVELY and add fat too my hips for a more rounder shape! So when you go to your doc take a pic or example of EXACTLY the type of butt your looking for otherwise they'll do what they THINK is best. Of course they know what they are doing (in most cases), but your personal preference has to be voiced in order to get desirable results. Closed mouths dont get fed!! He's a human too, not a mind reader, lol.
March 4, 2011
great advice I will take him a few pictures of mylssa ford! I know my PS is gonna be like this lady is crazy!! But thats what i want, heck thats what I'm paying for .lol! I meet with my PS on march 10th. I will keep you posted!

**jus wanna let everyone know that the stars and dots on my arm are not real!! They are drawn on, sorry that's the only before pic I can find. I don't have any tattoos.. I do hope my review helps people that are interested in getting this procedure! I will respond as much as possible, I've done the best I could and have answered as many q's as I could!! Please remember I am not getting paid for this, I just want to encourage others that are interested in the brazillian buttlift. I WISHED SOMEONE WOULD HAVE ANSWERED MY QUESTIONS!! =) enjoy

Looks great but where is your tattoo in your after pics that's on your arm? Seems like fake after pics, just saying. Also missing your face in the after.
March 4, 2011
omg i hope the pis arent fake...i was actually going to use the same ps because of how good the after pics are..that wud b really disappointing!!
March 4, 2011
First of all that's not called having a good eye. If you had a good eye you would see that those lil stars and dots are not real, they are drawn on my arm; and I expressed that several times. I don't have any tattoos!! I can't believe that...they don't even look real. They are all poorly drawn on..and this happens to be the only picture I could find that shows my backside fully an even tho it was almost a yr before my surgery, I put it up. I have been meaning to crop my face out, since I don't want someone I know to run across this website and find out I've had work done, and since you brought it to my attention, now I will!!!! I'm simply sharing my experience, I'm not getting paid to do this nor would I benefit from posting up fake pics!! You are rude and ppl like you make me want to stop answering questions on here and sharing my experience with others, but I am a lil flattered you think my results are too good to be true! It further lets me know I look great, and my results are completely natural looking. =) So thanx. Bye!
March 4, 2011
And I also notice from your review you are considering an implant..AFTER you have recieved the buttlift. I am amazed you doctor did a tummy tuck AND buttlift!! Girl that's a definate NO-NO...AND you only paid $6,700? It looks like you didn't go to a great doctor, since you are planning on having it redone. AND he ok'd you for two major surgeries at once? That's a lil fishy.. I'm just sayin..there really isnt much of a difference in your before and afters, so I can see why you may be discouraged on the whole surgery, a lot of ppl are disappointed because their fat didnt retain or they didnt get enough in the first place. You paid an extremely low price for 2 procedures, and you definately do get what you paid for. You stated yourself that your doc didnt spend time with you based on your low star rating! To be honest your tummy-tuck looks very strange...have you spoke with any of his previous patients before you went under the knife? Does he have to do revisions often? It looks like you may have had a botched surgery
March 4, 2011
What does my surgery have to do with your pics being fake? Just calling it how I see it ;) I like you went to see my page though :) lol Prices vary by location honey. My doctor was very kind, nice and busy. What's your point? Your trying to find something wrong with my pics and review because you get called out on your fake photos???? lmmfao!!!
March 4, 2011
I was definately not trying to find anything wrong with your review. It seems like you randomly attacking me because are unhappy with your results, so now you are saying my pics are "fake". That's sad...that's 100% ME!! Again, I'm not getting paid for this, simply sharing my results. No one should EVER get a tummy tuck & BBL @ the same time. Better luck with your butt implants..and plz do choose your PS wisely. Cheaper is NOT better, that couldnt be more true
March 4, 2011
There's no need to be rude savannah. you might not be able to see the face on the pics but you can tell its the same person...I don't know why girls have to be so catty to eachother unecessarily..and you're surgery DOES look botched and rather gruesome thats a fact its not an insult, show your face if you dont mind people knowing you've had surgery leave other people alone and keep yur negativity to yourself
March 4, 2011
Thank you CoCo...she has stated several times all over the site that she is unhappy with her results. You know what they say..jealous ones envy! ;) I'm just here to answer Q's and help others. She shoud've done more research..IF ANY DOCTOR OKAYS YOU FOR TUMMY TUCK AND BBL THE SAME DAY YOU SHOULD NOT GO WITH THEM! They may just be looking for all money at once..sad but true! I wanted implants and the BBL the same day an my doc said NO! There's no way you can heal properly, and besides that's dangerous. He actually refused. I was told to consider it 6 months after I am fully healed. I'm still here to answer any Q's! Talking to previous clients of your PS is a great idea..I did! I went thru a total of about 8 consults of wayyy lower prices, and more as well before I chose. I was very skeptical, because my friend had horrible implants that had to be removed! But not all surgeons do botched surgeries! =) take care, Good luck, and be VERY skeptical w/ whoever you choose. Remember it's YOUR body! And we are all human, doc's make mistakes as well..

please dont stop answering questions. Ive been researching as much as possible to really find the pros and cons for this procedure and have really had no luck until now. reading yalls story has really put a little more faith in this already scary surgery... Im excited to even consider getting this surgery done, with all the great feedback your writing... Im sure whoever wrote that "tattoo comment" is just skeptical which we all tend to find ourselves especially on something so major, but we can clearly tell it is the same person in the after shots. Im glad you posted your story and am sooo excited to start figuring out how to save for this.. I had looked at implants and injections and all of it, but I think Fat Transfer is the Best!! My biggest concern is that Im very thin. I mean I have most of my fat in my love handles, and little pudge in front but thats really it..---- should I gain weight!! and can you give me your doctors info (sorry if you already posted it) kind of new to this!! your results are amazing!! keep posting!! thanks
March 4, 2011
Omg! I didnt notice Gee wiz, Sharp eye ladies! I hope this isnt the case.. I too was gonna take her pictures to my doctor. I would have been so embrassed if he would have showed me that the pictures are of too diffrent people!
March 4, 2011
You could still take the pics. Can't expect the same results but it would give your surgeon an idea of what your looking for. Good luck with your surgery.
March 5, 2011
Minaj thank you for being real!!!! Thanks for sharing your experience with us because your not obilgated to do so.. So thank you!!! This site has really been my only online source of "real" information from recent plastic surgery. The fact that people are signing in to turn this it into a circus is mind blowing!!! Minaj honey keep rocking that hot new body! And yes ma'am your right I asked my PS if he would do implants and a bbl in the same surgery. He quickly told me NO!!!!!!!
March 5, 2011
Ladies in defense of the person that had the tummy tuck and bbl at the same time, it is possible to do both at the same time. Once again it DEPENDS on the health of the INDIVIDUAL. There are MANY EXCELLENT Dr.'s including mine who said it is possible to do both if you HEALTHY ENOUGH. As far as IMPLANTS if you're speaking of BREAST IMPLANTS, no it's not possible because you have to lay on your stomach to heal so how can you lay on your stomach after having BREAST IMPLANTS?? Again I am thankful to Minaj for answering my questions! Again you look GREAT, I just don't want women thinking they have a bad Dr. if he says she can do BOTH at the same time...that's just not TRUE ALWAYS do your RESEARCH ladies!!! BUT I will also say that I saw the pics of the woman who had both and it just didn't look right to me and the price for both was very questionable for a "good Dr." I come in peace ladies I'm almost two weeks out and LOVE my results so far! My DR. was Dr. Markmann and he was great remember you usually get what you pay for! The reason why my page says unsure is because I want to get to my 4 week point b4 I put worth it :)).....THANX again Minaj!!
March 5, 2011
oooh would love to see your results when you're ready ladybugmi!! love hearing others storys as it makes me excited for mine...I agree that you obviosuly wouldnt be able to have a bbl and a boob job done because you wouldnt be able to lay on your stomach, but then again doesnt the same apply for the tunny tuck, your tummy would probably be realy say and laying on it would be uncomfortable right?? :-) x
March 5, 2011
Yes I would imagine it to be really sore to lay on BUT they do it. If you go to Dr. Ricardo Rodriguez (Baltimore MD) website he has a video SPECIFICALLY on TUMMY TUCK AND BBL done the SAME TIME. He wasn't my dr but he was an option he also has many pics AND videos of his work. He answers MANY questions on THIS site and he seems like an excellent dr. AGAIN I'm letting everyone know this info so they don't think that they have a bad ps if he said yes he would do both. coco-ebony I will be more then happy to post pics when I feel the time is right :) as of now I'm VERY happy with my results, I'm sure I'm gonna be right up there with Minaj results....I'm looking great girl! :)
March 5, 2011
I absolutely agree Pretty Jax, she doesnt have to answer all our questions and in such detail, she even put her personal pics up, not a lot of people would be willing to do that, so thanks Minaj I really appreciate it and becase you've been so thorough with your reommendations and opinions and advice I am DEFINITELY going to use the same PS as you because not only do I love your reseults, I love the doctors experitise and especially the aftercare which was really important to me, because like I said, I'll be flying in from London and I want to feel safe and well taken care of after surgery in another country!!...Dont pay these silly cows and mind, and please continue to share your experience
UPDATED FROM Minaj
Years later
I actually regret going to Dr Wyatt. He has scarred me for life I don't think he was experienced at all when he did my procedure I may have been among one of the first people he did. I am left with horrible incision scars that haunt me to this day that are in the most obvious places! I see so many BBLs and you wouldn't even know they had work done but with me I have Large dark incision marks on both buttcheeks that look horrible. Also when he did me the first time it was horrible and I had to pay him to redo it a second time. Almost 5 years later and now I am looking for someone to revise the scars and the trauma I have been left with. If u have a great doctor that's experienced in BBLS I would go with them! I was young and I trusted dr Wyatt and I wish I never had.

How bad are the scars? Pics? Maybe you can go get lazer treatments for scarring done in those areas. May help lighten it up. Sorry to hear about your scars, doctors think that scar don't matter and they do. It's paying attention to details. Something so small is so big to us patients.
minaj....
i'd like to know if new clothes had to be purchased. a good friend of mine keeps telling me after my procedure, i will to buy new clothes. i am currently 5'7/5'8 150 lbs. is that likely?
