Hey all! After snooping here on RealSelf for a few months i've finally decided to make a profile and take the first step into changing my body. After a lot of research and practically reading every story on Real Self from Dr. Campos, Dr. Cardenas, Dr. Pantojas and some other doc ( i forgot his name) I've decided on Dr. Campos. All his patients look awesome post-op and no one really has anything bad to say about him.

I sent an email yesterday on his website. If any of you have a direct email PM me because i've heard they dont reply to the email on his website?

A lil about me, I am 28 years old, 5'7, and about 155 lbs. I have a small waist and my lower body is thicker. I already have a big booty but over the years it just looks like its flabbier, and i've lost muscle in it. I want it more perkier i guess and a bit smaller and rounder. I also want to get my love handles sucked out. I hate those things! When i gain weight those are the first to pop out its so annoying i want them gone forever! >,< I also want my stomach lipo'd only a lil bit though.

I will post before pictures when its closer to my surgery date. From the looks of it, it won be til March or April if im lucky. I live about three hours from San Diego so its not too bad. I am really scared, to tell u guys the truth, because of those blood clot stories. Im not scared of the pain or the actual surgery but of the blood clots :(. I will update all of you with every new piece of info i receive. So im just waiting on an email. I will try calling their office after the holidays to see if i can get through.

Hi cubig. I am very glad i Came across your profile. I am very interested in your butt lift recovery. I had butt implants 4 months ago and I hate them. I believe my butt was very saggy and the dr tried to put a big implant to fill it, however is still saggy and now big. He does a lot of butt lift like yours and after seeing yours I am wondering if that is what I need it. Did your butt became smaller? Shorter? Is worth to trade that for the scar? Do the scar burden you? How was the recovery? The pain? The risk of open the stitches? Do you see a difference in your butt? Any information will be appreciated!!!!!!

Hello Naye10. I don't know how your butt looks like, but mine was extremely saggy from a 50 pound weight loss. If your butt is extremely saggy like mine once was, then I'd recommend it but only as a last resort. The recovery was really hard. It took 2 months for me to be ready to go back to work. I feel that my butt doesn't look as long anymore, it's actually shorter. Like when I grab it, I can feel my thigh, when before it just sagged down my thighs. Yes the scar bugs me, but I feel so much more confident. When I wear leggings my butt actually looks firm in them and not droopy. I'm currently trying to laser my scar away. But my Dr did a great job of making the scar very thin and a straight line. During my recovery I stayed in bed as much as I could. A couple stitches did pop open a lil but with a butterfly bandage I quickly closed up. Yes it's a major difference. I do need a touch up tho, because I had massive amounts of cellulite on my butt cheeks and a few of them came back. So he needs to refill with some fat. But that's another thing, the cellulite was horrible that I once had. Looked like I had a saggy butt filled with cottage cheese. It's so much smoother and rounder now. The best thing to do is to get an opinion from your doctor. Or get an opinion from my dr. Other Dr's I've seen do traditional butt lifts have left their patients with ugly thick uneven scars. And price is double. Any other questions , feel free to ask. (:

Do you have an opinion on how hard recovery is with a bbl, no lift?

I think a bbl would be a lot smoother. Since there's no surgical cut to deal with. I think in 1-2 weeks you'd feel a lot better.

Thank you for your answer!!!!! I did not think I need it a lift, dr Gongora likes to suggest that lift very often and I panicked when I knew it. But now, thinking about it and after seeing you I am thinking that that is what I need it it to begin with to make my butt perkier, i was not looking for much volume just perkiness. He performed the surgery with just the implants and now I feel that my butt still sagg mostly in the back of my legs, just like you described. I can not wear jeans bcause they don't look right just wide and heavy. The communication has being very poor with my dr from the beginning, he never Explained to me my different options and he has not explain now the options for a revision. But after seeing with results with dr campos I feel like I can see a light at the end of the tunnel. Because as you mentioned the lifts I see from other Drs are pretty scary, mostly with the crooked scar and I know DR Gongora is really good with " cutting" and I thought he will be my only choice . But I will consult with dr campos! Hopefully my implants can be removed and my butt lift.. I do have new cellulite like . Rippling on the side of my leg, this was for oversuctioned the side of my thights ( close to the butt) and I can see is not support and the butt sag worst . I will advice you in not touching your banana roll and exercise. Your dr is very responsable in not want to perform lipo there even if you wanted. This can really be a catastrophe . You look greattttttttttt!!!!! Thank you for posting and gave me hopes. You can see some pics in my profile to see what I am talking about, and give me your opinion?? Thanksssssss

Hey all, I finally got a response from dr. Campos but im not too happy with it. He suggested I get a lower body lift but I feel I do not need that, and it was for $6400!! Too much. His response was really short too. So I made an appt to go see him in person. I booked the consultation for the end of February. I dont want to give up on him yet cuz I really like his work. So I will update everyone when I go to my consult.
