So I chose MIA aesthetics in Miami, FL. They have a special for those coming out of town. But before that, I went to their website and saw they had a virtual consultation option which was perfect. I sent in 3 pictures. My front, my side, and a back shot. Now I am 150, but im small. I work out heavily and was working on getting abs and now looking to get a BBL. So, I have to undo all my work. Yadira reached out as the facilitator and was Amazing!!. So sweet, helpful, and assuring me I made a good choice. She said Dr. Humberto Pallodino would be my surgeon. He said I was a perfect candidate, but my stomach was small which I knew. Its pretty flat. He said he would be able to take from my tummy, flanks, upper ab, and lower back. He let me know I needed to gain at least 5 lbs to have enough fay. I plan to gain 15-20lbs to have plleenntyy. She let me know his special was $4000. And I booked for June 12. I had to pay $500 deposit to also bool my travel home. The package for that was $5,000. So surgery, travel home, which includes transportation to all visits and flights, chef, caretaker, and 3 massages for after surgery. They let you know you need to be there 7 days in Miami. The package came with 4 nights and 5 days so I added 2 more days for $300. I wantee to follow the guidelines. So my preop is June 11. I will pay my remaining balance of $4800. I am so excited. I have been wanting a butt for over 9 years. I have struggled with being flat and I am over it. I work out hard to get cut up, but then I lose my butt. So, when I sent my pics, I tried to poke my stomach out as mucj as I could. I am ANEMIC so I have to take iron now. You HAVE to have a good Hemoglobin count or they will cancel you. I also booked my flight with insurance in case I have to cancel. My coordinator is now Sullyn, who will assist me the rest up until my surgery. I will have to get bloodwork done 30 days prior to surgery and get an "okay" from your doctor to get surgery. So, now I have watched EVERY video on YouTube to prepare. I also have ulcerative colitis. I had my colon removed, so I know poop like 10 times a day because food goes right thru. So im nervous about how I will use the restroom after. I see girls sit backwards on toilets, so I think I will be okay. I know so far I will need, Arnica gel and pills to help heal, all my prescriptions, oils or cream for scarring, boppy pillow, loose fitting clothes, fajas, ab board, lymphatic massages once a week for the first month after I return home, and no sitting on my butt for 6 weeks. O and I need to buy a urinal to pee in. I will keep you DOLLS updated.

I have not seen many pictures of his work. Well not a BBL anyway. I really considered him and I still may switch but I would like to see how he shapes ladies bodies first. have you been able to find BBL pictures or YouTube videos on that. If so please let me know. Please share you after Pictures. Thank you

Yes and maybe take fat out of another area if you want lots of fat to use.
June 19, 2018
You look amazing! He did my work May 15th! I’m finally starting to see some real results now being 5weeks post op. I’m still swollen in areas but you know everyone heals differently because of our body types! Other than that, Dr. Palladino is the bomb!

it will be worth it because they can take it all out and put it in your butt
November 2, 2018
I sure hope so. I weighed myself yesterday and I’m now at 166. The thing is I don’t want a huge booty, I’m going for a more shapely body with a very small waste, but not huge like a stripper

Hey dolls. So I have been gaining weight as fast and as much as I can. What do I eat? Whatever I want and tons. Its not that fun. I now have to force myself to eat so much because Im literallt tired of eating. I didnt do ensures because all the crap eating is working so far. I was 149 when I sent my before pics. I am now 160 so im doin good. I said I wanted to gain 15 lbs but I'll go as big as I can to get a big butt.

hey congrats on scheduling surgery. I too had to gain weight for my bbl. I would suggest gaining the weight and keeping it steady for a few weeks before. realllly newly gained fat isn’t good fat. so try to gain fast then maintain it. I ate a lot of proteins and cooked veggies, vegetable pastas, brown rice, quinoa with corn and beans, beans, nuts, multigrain bread.. etc. also wheats are great for before and after surgery and almonds and walnuts.

So I literally been drinking ensure with every meal and eating McDonald's almost every day, in the last month and a half i went from 128 to 134. I'm not sure if this helps. I'm trying to get up to 140 so basically stuffing myself lol.

Sooo I am 2 weeks away from surgery. Just turned in all medical labs needed. Waiting for MIA to confirm they received it. Once they do, I need to get a short note stating I am having surgery to give to my job. All of my labs I was told were normal per my doctor. O..so if you go to your regular doctor, you can have the labs needed covered under a "wellness" visit instead of paying out if pocket at urgent care. I am ANEMIC so I did take iron and folic acid 2 months prior to surgery. So sounds like it was enough time to make a difference since my doctor didnt mention a low hemoglobin. So just waiting on official green light. I still have 3800 to pay. I dont want to carry that cash so I plan to pay by card. So far i got booty buddy, shower curtain, towels, Arnica cream and pills, gauze , bandaids, medical tape. Still need a few odds and ends. I'm not ready to not sleep right. And I'm worried about pooping. I need to fully sit. Can't sh$# squat. So 2 weeks to go. My weight has increased but I feel like im not super big. But i was 149 now 167 so i think i should be good. Sooo, my job allowed me 2 weeks of paid leave and the other 2 weeks I am working from home. I did not give details of surgery. I just told HR I was having major surgery. So, I will keep updated closer to date and do update pic right before surgery.

This was a list provided by my nurse. A lot of others buy top much stuff they don't even need.

That’s what I figured . Good luck with your surgery :)

Yes. My job does not require details. I just gave a note from surgeon confirming surgery date and filled out our in house leave of absence form which just let them know how long I will be out
