POSTED UNDER Tummy Tuck Reviews
I had 2 previous BBLs, so I got a tummy tuck because of the loose skin

I'm still swollen and am patiently waiting on my final results. I realized that no matter how much lipo you get, no matter how much you work out, or even if you get a TT, your bone structure (i.e. ribcage), has a lot to do with the flatness of your belly. Your belly can only be as flat as your ribcage allows it, so if your ribcage is wide, your stomach won't be as flat as it could be like if your ribcage was narrow. If your ribcage is narrow, then your stomach will be much flatter. I guess that's why some people have gotten their ribs removed lol...Wearing a corset for an extended period of time, like 12-24 hours per day, is another option that can move the ribs and make them more narrow and less wide, so I'll have to get a custom made corset to do so, since my off the rack one felt uncomfortable.
The same applies to body shape post bbl. I wanted low hips when I had my bbl's, but I have a short torso, so low hips would be impossible because my bone structure would not allow it since my hip bones are high, due to my short torso...It's interesting how you have to learn these things on your own, through experience, when your doctor does not tell you.
Oh, and I'm going to do reasearch on umbilicoplasty surgery, just in case my belly button shape remains to resemble a coin slot.

Needle/Syringe and Corset
If anyone needs sterilized hypodermic needles and syringes that are still packaged, to drain a seroma that no other doctor will drain for you because you're not their patient, then inbox me. They came in 50 and I only needed a few to drain my seroma, but the rest are still packaged and I don't need them.
I'm also wanting to get rid of this corset because it doesn't work for my short torso.

U look amazing in that dress!! I cant wait to get rid of all my skin! I know u had a issue w vanity regarding the tt cost. But how much did u end up paying?
January 3, 2016
Thanks doll! When I got there they had me pay extra to get the total to 4500, so in total vanity got 4500 from me. They told me it should have been 5000 but they claim they gave me 500 off which brought it to 4500 but it's all lies. Returning customers usually get great discounts, which is why I was only told to pay 2800 over the phone, which I did, and once I got there they said it was supposed to be 4500. So I paid the extra 1700 to them. My bank refunded me the extra that they had me pay though, so in total all I technically paid was 2800, because of the fact that my bank came through for me. They can charge you whatever price they want really based on several different biased factors.

It's bs. They quoted me $7500 for a whole MM that's supposedly w a discount bc im a returning customer. But I see new dolls here paying the same amount..smh.
January 4, 2016
7500, since when???! Mommy Makeover at the most is usually 6000 at Vanity. You see dolls paying the same amount as in all are paying 7500 or you mean same amount as in they're all paying less than that? Here on RS, I've mostly only seen 6k for a vanity MM and I met a girl at vanity who had a MM for 6k too.
I'm starting to think that they feel like once you return after having a first procedure done, that automatically means you are loaded with money, so then they charge extra cause they feel like well she's coming to get more work done, so she must be able to afford whatever we charge her. Smh, wow.

I think lee lee Denaro paid $7000 for mm & ohsoscared47 paid $7500....seen one other girl that paid $6500 Forgot her name. All were first timers to vanity. Anyways they obviously not giving me a "deal".. I think u right they might be charging me what they think I can afford. Im Glad I look like a million bucks but [RS bleep] im just a single mom trying to get my groove back. Lol
January 4, 2016
Oh, I didn't realize they were charged 7k. Yeah so it's basically whatever they want to charge you. You got that right! ;-) That body is on point, doesn't even seem like you have much loose skin! I was actually going to look into other spots in miami for my tt, that were not too far from vanity, one I think was new life, on the same street. I then decided to just go to vanity because at that time, I was told I'd get a good deal and cause I was already familiar with Fisher from my 2nd bbl. Have you tried that route if you decide not to go to vanity? That whole area around vanity and south miami in general has so many options just don't know much about them. I also saw some girls who had TT's with ortega and they looked good but I don't know much about his skill, experience, bedside manner, and the general results that he produces..

I have family that lives literally 5 mins from vanity. So it was the doctor,cost & location that sold me for my bbl. But initially I went down to miami to meet w dr.ortega & didnt Even see him for my consult. So that turn me off. I seen really good work from him but I heard his bed side manner sucks. So idk. I did notice alot of cosmetic surgery offices in that area tho. I'm in here all my free time trying to do my research. Thanks girl, but i have so much loose skin on my tummy with lots of stretch marks. I'm even thought of even staying local but that would be like $10,000 for a MM!!
January 4, 2016
Oh yeah I saw you post that, about not seeing Ortega on your first post. They're all the same down there lol. Yeah that's a lot, where I live it's 10k too! Definitely let us know which doctor you eventually choose. Either way, you're still going to be banging!
January 4, 2016
You look amazing doll!!

Would you recommend someone to go for a BBL? I already had a TT and lipo of the flanks, but would like lipo of the inner thighs to even my thighs out and maybe bra roll in 6 months. You look phenomenal despite the close to horror story you experienced. I don't want a lot of booty, but I'd like a bit more definition. Any advice is ever so appreciated (you can inbox me as well). Thank you in advance.

I am considering trying placing a marble in my belly button when it's time. I can't recall if you tried it.
So glad you mentioned about the body type. I have been so curious how some of the wish pics have tiny waists...I am thinking that this was all accomplished by waist training, corsets, etc. Thanks for the info.
Yes, some of those wish pics are digitally altered with photoshop too though, like the popular one of the lady wearing the tight pink bodysuit lol.
The girls whose pictures aren't photoshopped are either luckily to be born with their bone structure that way (causing their waist to be tiny or their hips to be lower or even for their butt to be that perfect heart shape) or they're wearing corsets or having rib removed. I like that the corsets with the boning, like the one I posted in the past, also improve posture, which I need. In my opinion, based off of my experience and research, latex waist trainers and the like, do nothing really and are a temporary quick fix that don't permanently change the belly.
Another RS'r I am following, placed a marble and wore it gradually for 4 weeks . So far mines is round well not entirely in my pics, but still has swelling and sutures I think. I know I have a while before I see how it will start to look.
I read on RS and other sites about waist trainers after TT, and they PS and Dr's say their not needed at all and that the garment really doesn't give you the shape that you will ultimately have. Now, then didn't mention that it was based on the body structure, but I agree with you and think it is.
God, took my rib from Adam...I ain't having it removed for a smaller waist, lol.
Amen! You can say that again sis. Somebody definitely needs to turn that into a meme, for real!
