Hi ladies. I've must say, I am amongst the thousands of ladies who have grown addicted to RealSelf reading reviews, opinions, suggestions, looking at pre/post op photos and recovery experiences. BBL has peeked my interest for about 5 years. I would google and read tons of feedback on different surgeons, their techniques and any troublesome issues that arose along the way. I finally decided (within the last 4 months) to go ahead and get the ball rolling. Currently I'm researching doctors to try and narrow down my selection. I was able to dwindle down to three doctors: Dr. Hasan who seems to be the surgeon of interest when it comes to BBL's, Dr Omupelu who's experience and credentials are impressive and Dr. Miami who's reputation, company, and demands on service has exploded within the last two years. I've had a consultation with all three so I at least have that much accomplished. Lol. Now time to make a decision and work on securing a date and financing.

Super excited for you! I'm wanting to be Sexy by summer as well! I too am looking for a Dr. in Miami! Do you live there? We are stationed in Biloxi Ms, but I would rather fly to Miami to get a Mommy Makeover done. I was looking at Dr. Sam Gershenbaum (Dr. G), or Dr. Salama. I'm excited but it seems as though if I travel I would have to stay up to 10 days before flying back home. I'm not sure about the Dr. here in the Biloxi area but whomever I choose I want them to do a GREAT job. The procedures are too expensive for mediocre work.

Thanks. I'm so excited but a little nervous. No I live in little rock, AR so I will be flying to Miami. My greatest worry is the flight back after surgery.

The reviews on vanity caused me to second think dr Hasan. The way the practice interacts with the patients are key parts in his whole process.

I am stock between Dr Miami, hassan and fisher... I'm weighing on best result, care and follow up. I'm in love with hassan and fisher results but scare to deal with vanity. Dr Miami result and care are the best, i like the way he treats his patients but the waiting time though...

Whoops. I posted my response under the wrong person (I'm still learning the site). All of the reviews on vanity caused me to second think my decision on leaning towards Hasan.

Hi Ladies I have been up all night reading post...researching bbl...looking at before/after pics. I want a slimmer waist and rounder azz! Lol! I'm 36 and after 3 kids my sexy body isn't so sexy. Time for a change. I'm in the researching phase. Have sent out a couple consultation request through the night to Dr. Fisher and Dr. Ortega in Miami. I live out of state and will be looking for a travel buddy. My goal is to get sx in 2016 preferably early enough to enjoy new body for the summer!

Tentative Sx Date

Shae Marie

Okay ladies, I've decided to go with Dr. Omupelu. I choose him because of his experience, his work on previous patients and the interaction with Spectrum. I am taking advantage of the cash special so my total price is 4,000 for the BBL and my deposit is only 300.00. My tentative date is January 11. I'm ready to get the toughest part out of the way. I still can't believe I'm actually seeing this thru. If you guys can only see my face. Once I lock in my sx date I will choose a recovery house (which I'm still researching on) and start ordering my supplies. I'm 2 months away. Oh yea. I will upload tons of photos before and after along with my wish pics.

*****Recovery House Suggestion***** i need recommendations :-(

Shae Marie
Hey ladies, Do you have any suggestions or recommendations for recovery houses in the Miami, FL area? I am still undecided. What all would or should be included in these packages (so i can know what to look for)? Did you have to add additional massages and pay extra for a nurses or will there be a nurse or assistant on staff to help you during your recovery process?
