Loving Who I Am Becoming - Tummy Tuck, BBL, and Breast Fat Transfer with Dr. Aslani, Cirumed Clinic

Dr. Aslani exceeded my expectations!!
I am a 50+ year old Transgender woman that at one time weighed 380lbs. I have lived an amazing life that I have loved while never being able to love myself because I never believed I could be the person I needed to be. It wasn't until later in life that I finally realized that it was essential for me to face my fears and become who I needed to be in order to love myself , so that I could both love and be loved by others.
I had done a significant amount of work to lose weight and had an excessive amount of skin hanging from my upper and lower abdomen. I also had very straight male hips with a V-shaped butt. Because of this I felt couldn't wear clothes that I had always wanted to. So I did my research and had consults in multiple countries, looking for the ideal doctor to help me with my challenges. I chose Dr. Aslani as clearly the best option.
I had both in person and online consultations with Dr. Aslani and I was very impressed with him. This was my 7th surgery in 2.5 years and I have had consults with scores of doctors for my procedures. With this experience my expectations are very high. Dr. Aslani was very clear on with what he specializes in and what he wanted to do for me. More importantly he was willing to address my my concerns and consider my expectations and limitations. We developed a partnership for my surgical goals.
The biggest selling point was the plan to do my BBL in 2 stages. Because of my male shape we decided it would be best to build a foundation in my shape to be more feminine in the first surgery that could be used to provide much more significant results in my second surgery. This also allows Dr. Aslani to refill areas where some of the fat transfer is normally lost and to help ensure symmetry in the second stage BBL. Dr. Aslani assured me this would be a successful approach without the need for hip implants to get the shape I desired. This was particularly important to me, since I have ample natural breast development without implants and was hoping for the same in my butt and hips.
The surgery went extremely well and my recovery was very manageable. I would say day 3 was the hardest for me, mostly due to discomfort rather than pain. Oddly the hardest part of my recovery was unexpected skin sensitivity to adhesives from bandaging and wearing compression garments. I was walking without issue the day after surgery and a week later I was walking along the boardwalk in Marbella, which I believe was a significant part of my recovery success.
The Cirumed clinic was incredibly supportive and loving. I felt I left there with friends for life and look forward to returning for my part 2 BBL. The staff was fully available to me to ensure my recovery was successful. I did leverage a few days of additional nursing care, mostly to ensure I felt confident in my recovery more so that necessity. The staff was very flexible with the challenges of trying to travel to Spain through the COVID limitations, including rescheduling and fears that it may not happen at all.
I stayed in a beautiful recovery apartment just upstairs from the clinic, arranged by Cirumed. I had an amazing view of Mediterranean sunsets. and just a walk over a bridge to walk along the beach. By the second week, I was walking to a beach restaurant for paella, tapas, and sangria. It was easy to order food online as well as having groceries delivered to the apartment, by the apartment manager. Cirumed also made certain to assist me with my transportation needs.
I was immediately amazed by my results as soon as I was able to see myself in full. The skin folds were completely gone and I had a waistline for the first time in my life. I couldn't believe this was just the beginning, since I was so swollen and my waist to hip ratio would continue over time. I continue to be incredibly excited by the expectations that the biggest difference will be when I get my second stage BBL. Dr. Aslani also made a noticeable difference in my breasts too. He filled the upper space between my breasts narrowing the gap. As a result I am now between a 44D-DD in size without implants.
The best part though is just being able to wear clothes that I just couldn't wear before. I no longer have skin hanging out of places it shouldn't. I can finally wear clothes that show me having a waistline. I am not done yet and I aspire for more, but I understand how critical it is to enjoy the journey and the successes along the way. It is nearly impossible to be satisfied by your goals without the small victories.
There isn't enough I can say about how successful my surgery and experience was. But one last point that came up was why I recovered so well. Dr. Aslani and I discussed it and he believes it would be good for me to share my approach.
* Do your research and know what you are doing
* Understand there are unexpected consequences and that there may be trade offs in pursuing a procedure
* Set high goals with realistic expectations
* Know your goal is to make things better than they were before, there is no perfection
* Get multiple consults to both educate yourself and find the right surgeon for you
* Form a working partnership with your surgeon and ensure you both understand each others expectations and limitations
* Plan dynamically well in advance (make certain you are aware of your financial, travel, medical and anything else is set in motion and and be ready to adapt to unexpected changes)
* Exercise and eat healthy in the weeks leading up to surgery (even if it is just walking 1 hour every day)
*** Most important - Go into surgery without stress - that means no fear and no excitement - bein your Zen moment in total peace, knowing that you are about to experience discomfort that you can both handle because you are about to have results that are far better than what you had before.
I cannot thank Dr. Aslani and the staff at Cirmed Clinic for the success of my surgery and incomparable experience. I cannot wait to get my second stage BBL with a little more breast fat transfer and see my new Marbella family again!!!
