24 Yr Old Bbl Procedure Dr. Mel Ortega - Miami, FL

Hello everyone.. I have been a member for a little while now but have yet to post anything.. So here it goes.. I am 24 years old and a mother of two. My decision to get my bbl done is mine alone. I have been uncomfortable with my butt ever since I can remember. I have broad shoulders (runs in my family).. and when I gain weight I pack the weight in my midsection and upper body. Also, when I lose weight I lose the weight in my lower body. It seems like I can't ever get a balance between the two.. After giving birth to my second child I have tried losing weight by doing cardio and weight training to build mass on my lower body but its still not the results I want.
Anyways.. I have been researching the bbl for quite some time and have stumbled upon a few doctors.. However, the doctor I chose was Dr. Mel Ortega. I have done research through real self and the internet and found good reviews.. not only the good reviews but the pricing was around my price range. A lot of people say what you pay for is what you get however, the quality of Dr. Mel Ortega's work to me is great and exceeds my expectations especially matched up with his prices. Not only is his work or prices up to standard but his staff is very nice and friendly. I have not met any in person but speaking with everyone on the phone you can tell they are professional and well rounded individuals.. I hope it is the same when I meet everyone in the office but from other reviews I am sure everything will be fine.
So..I have scheduled my bbl with Spectrum Aesthetics (Dr. Mel Ortega) for the 29th of May.. I have paid half and will pay the other half when I get down to Miami.. I am very excited and nervous as I am sure all of you must have felt..
I am trying to think only positive thoughts and not focus too much on the pain or recovery time.. Although I know I need to prepare myself..

Well that is all I have to write for now..

Hello ladies, I decided to post some pictures of myself as of right now. I am 5'4 and 160lbs. I have read a lot of reviews and seen a lot of women's pictures. I know sometimes it seems as if we can never be satisfied with ourselves. I am hoping my before and after pictures will show a big difference and that I am not too judgmental of myself. I noticed several women's reviews and post about how they are not satisfied with their results although there is a significant change in their pictures. I just hope I am not going to be one of those women. I know it might not be no Nicki minaj type booty but at least there is going to be more booty then what it is now.

I am getting more and more nervous..excited but nervous.. We will be leaving the day after tomorrow..(Wednesday).. want to get there a couple days before to get adjusted and make sure everything is taken care of.. Does anyone have any advice to give especially to help prepare me before this big surgery? Everyone's experiences are different but similar in some ways.. I just want to make sure I am prepared.. I know I won't know how it feels until I am experiencing it for myself..just like what everyone told me about giving birth..so I will pray and have faith God gives me the strength I need to overcome my fears..
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I will really need and use during my post op recovery process? Don't want to get a whole bunch of stuff that I will not put to use.. Also, has any had their menstrual cycle during and after surgery? Any complications?
