23 Year Old, BBL w Dr. Fisher November 10th 2015
Hey there! Like so many others, I have wanted a...
Hey there! Like so many others, I have wanted a BBL for a while now. I have been non stop reading reviews on several dr.'s in between work, taking care of my family, and school. Now, I have made a decision on who I wanted as a dr, and will be posting pics/my journey towards my goal look. I will be posting a pretty extensive/detailed posts.
My measurements are 38 bust 34waist and 40 hips. I am 4'10 and currently at 125-126 lbs. BMI is 25.6 or so depending on weight. My metabolism is quite fast and I used to be very skinny before the baby ( See pics)
Ever since I've had my son, I have stubborn fat and weight I have been trying to get rid of but I am losing my butt while I was working out. And I feel like a BBL will help shape me and give me a good foundation that will allow me to feel confident and work out without focusing so much on my butt's volume etc.
I knew from the start I would want to go to Florida to get my BBL done. To me, it was obvious this state would be the best choice and I decided I would be willing to travel out of state in order to get this done.
I was just not sure which dr I would like. SOOO...
I narrowed down my choices to Dr. Pazmino, Dr. Salama, Dr. Salhauzer, and Dr. Fisher for the BBL.
1. Dr. Pazmino and the patient coordinator never responded to my inquiry for an out of state consultation. And after looking at a few reviews although he provides amazing shape and contour of the body, I felt as if he was very conservative about harvesting the fat and I need some major projection/hip help LOL. I have a square shaped body (as you can see from the pics)
2. Dr. Salama is a great dr. however, I think he is too booked up and I couldn't get a date that I wanted. My husband doesn't get much time off from his job in USMC so I plan around that schedule and my school and my son as well. He doesn't have much availability sooo I decided I would have to say No to an uncertain schedule.
3. Dr. Salzhauzer is the same case. He is very booked up. His virtual consultation's and his surgical dates are all the way into almost summer of 2016. I am not sure how that is even possible but he must be very popular and his price is fair too so I understand. I decided I didn't want to wait.
4. Now for Dr. Fisher I have read review after review about him on RS and it seems as though his coordinators are tough to deal with and the professionalism of them is not there and that kind of drives alot of the girls away. However, his work is immpecable and amazing. I have only read about some examples where they're not satisfied with "lumps" that soon fluff out and disappear. His pricing is very fair and he does lipo and sculpts in multiple regions which is something I feel I need.
So far I haven't read anything negative directed at Dr. FIsher himself and he does have credentials
**In order to be certified you have to be practicing as a surgeon for 5 years I believe in an established residency. That is why when you read other past reviews that are older, it wasn't the 5 year minimum but you can still operate, practice, and be a member in the American Board of Plastic Surgery. ** This is all info I read on the website which is an .org meaning they are an informative site verified verses a commercial third party website. (Basically they're legit)
Anyways, I will be posting pictures. And in my next post I will write about my experience with the staff and booking. Note: I have had a Breast Aug back in 2013

BOOKED & details
So far, I have been booked and I was able to book for a $4900 BBL with lipo which includes abdomen, flanks, whole back, waist, and bra line). I booked with a woman named Shirley I think. She gave good honest advice, spoke about Dr. Fisher and his idea of a beautiful booty (he also prefers bigger, rounder, fuller), Shirley mentioned the good deal they have which ended the day I booked and she honored it completely. She also spoke about my BMI Level and how to maintain it, giving her honest opinion since she's been evaluating so many patients.
We had a good simple easy going conversation and she was quick in helping me process the transactions as well. I chose to do the deposit via credit card form ( I wanted it on bank record that I transferred into their accounts to show on my statement as well versus using cash and depositing directly). With this method, I was presented three different documents to read over and sign/fill out via docusign which I have used before. I also used tinyscan app to send them my card info and id right through my iphone. My process took about 5 minutes and later on that night she emailed me and said she can send me an invoice and receipt with all my info for my records as well first thing after the transaction clears. The transaction was smooth, date was booked, girls were easy speak with, I was given patient portal access, and I am more than satisfied with this first step I took.
I will pay off the remaining balance in a few months and continue to eat and gain weight. My advice on the weight gain or maintaining it would def be drinking ensure twice a day (strawberry is my favorite). Make sure you have a full breakfast and a pasta dish for dinner. My metabolism is really quick, so the photos of my curent body is me forcing myself to eat alot and gain weight (no hitting the gym). I knew I had to give myself all this time (6months) to gain the weight and maintain higher weight because I shed weight so quickly. I want the fat to stick and stay in my booty with this surgery :)
Now, for my hopes and dreams with this BBL LOL.
I am hoping for 800cc's in each cheek more? if possible, I find it hard to say what I should have or want EXACTLY since I am a shorty and Idk how dramatic it will look on me. I havent tried to morph my body in any photoshop pics or anything yet :(. I'm estimating 300cc's to my hips or at least a very snatched waist that will give me very good waist to hip ratio difference. My wish pics will be posted as well!
Support: I have been getting much support from the ONE friend I told LOL. She's so happy for me and excited. She has had numerous friends whose undergone this procedure and she says every single female she knows that had it done looks absolutely GORGEOUS. I am so excited and grateful for her support. I even asked her to fly out with me to Miami and help care for me the first four days until my husband can make it down w/my son. I am aware it is mandatory for someone to be with you your first few day to assist in showers, transportation, changing garments/fajas, feeding you, possibly draining, and emotional support. I can't think of anyone better. She is actually a caretaker working for the county of contra costa and one of my good friends.
My husband is on board. He's kind of weirded out taht I keep sending him a million pictures of random girls butt's and it makes him laugh because he's not sure how to respond. We look at them together and he wasn't aware of BBL's and thought most of the girls had natural blessed behinds and that's a great sign for me with Dr. Fisher's work! He is in full support and is the one paying for the procedure and my recovery costs/stay/massage/flight whatever I need. He never pushed me for the procedure, it's js been me wanting this for so long and he agreed to whatever will make me happy.
I have not chosen to tell anyone else about my procedure especially not my parents because I do not think they will react so well to it. They have issues with the whole idea of plastic surgery etc, but I am not one of those individuals. I think we all have one life to live and we should live it to our desires and whatever suits us(:
I will be updating again soon probably going to prep in advance all the things I need, flight details, and possible hotel room deals for you ladies if anyone wants to know about them.

I def like dr. fisher for my dr. choice for BBL, thank you so much! I also like Dr. Hasan's work. Both dr's are on point! I'll follow your journey:)
Help w/aftercare and massages?
I know I stated I wanted my friend to come/maybe my husband would be able to. However, just as a back up for further research I wanted to know if anyone can suggest a recovery house ( I DO NOT WANT TO STAY AT THE VANITY COSMETIC SURGERY HOUSE THEY OFFER) or possibly a caretaker that will provide care in my place of choosng. I wanted to do air bnb rental home.
-I think 10 days in Miami is good enough for recovery/massages?
-Can anyone give me suggestions for lymphatic massages /pricing?
-Any trusted caretakers who know how to assist with post op bbl in home of my choosing?
-Any recovery house I can stay in that's clean and private room vs shared?
