31 Yrs Old, Mom of 2 and Looking Forward to a BBL-Planning for March 2017 - Miami, FL
ORIGINAL POST
I'm 5'4, 170 and have always wanted to get a bbl...
$4,100
I'm 5'4, 170 and have always wanted to get a bbl since ive heard about them. Ive been looking up Drs overseas but decided that it would be wiser to just stay here in Florida and do my Dr search. So far I am interested in Dr. Sergio Alvarez's work. Ive been reading and following threads on this website. I am excited to finally have made the decision to get this done. So far today I chatted with someone from Spectrum and they are going to reach out to me by phone so that I can get some of my questions out of the way. The person i chatted with was friendly and quick to answer my questions. I had chatted with someone from CG Cosmetics and they would take long to write back and their answers were written out very unprofessionally. I am mostly concerned with the post op and procedure and results.. ect. Anyone else considering this procedure with Dr Alvarez around that same time frame? Any info or experience is appreciated!

Consumed with BBL Thoughts.
Anyone else planning a bbl and cant stop thinking about it? Lol I am
planning for early 2017 possibly even Dec 2016 if they are able to
schedule me for the last few days of the month. It seems so far away but
all i do when im online is looking for more and more information. I
have typical worries, such as will i wake up after sx, will it be the
size i want, how bad will the recovery be in my case..? Anyone else
feeling this way also? I would also love to partner up with someone that
hopefully goes to Dr. Ghurani during the same time i will go but i wont
be scheduled until later this week. I am waiting on Emily from Spectrum
to return my messages.

You are not alone! The BBL obsession is real!! My friend and I are flying to Miami Jan 8,2017! Both having the procedure with Dr. Alvarez. We are experiencing the same worries! Thank goodness for RealSelf!! This site has been an absolute lifesaver!! Feel free to inbox me!
September 10, 2016
That's great! Where will you be staying? I'm in orlando so I'll drive in on the 10th. I've been debating on what RH to go with.
September 13, 2016
Hey girl I have the same thoughts your having. I'm having surgery in 3 weeks. After seeing the death at vanity cosmetic center scared me even more which is also related to encore cosmetic center and spectrum center. I pray everything goes well with our surgeries. Just keep praying and stay in good thoughts. Goodluck doll
September 13, 2016
Indeed! You will be in my prayers. Alot of times surgeries go wrong due to pre existing health issues and complications caused by not following pre op instructions. Continue to do everything as you are told and have faith! God is good and with his help our surgeries will be a success!! Keep me posted ma..
September 14, 2016
Yes thank you . same here. I always pray for the people on here I kno have surgeries on whichever day. We will be okay!!!
September 14, 2016

September 14, 2016
I'm going to inbox you my contact info soon so we can link up hopefully. And that way I can also help you ladies if you need anything when I'm in town the day before my surgery. I'll keep posted!
September 14, 2016
Hey Girl!! Ok great!! Same with me, I want to make sure we can be there for you also!! Girl, this is so exciting !!
September 19, 2016
I feel the same way! I am scheduled for early Dec and I am just worried if I won't have all the things I will need.
September 19, 2016
The feeling is normal I think. Lol. The reviews of others will definitely help you pick and choose what you'll need.

Can't Wait to Be a Ghurani Doll!
I'm excited to be on the journey to having a better behind! I've been
debating between Sergio Alvarez and Dr Ghurani.. but I'm confident I'm
going worth Ghurani. I'm attaching a collage of wish pics. I'll post
this week what my sx day will be. I'm hoping that I can meet some of you
dolls when the time comes. Either late 2016 or early 2017.

Yes, that is a good decision.
September 6, 2016
I am scheduled with Dr. Alvarez on March 7th 2017. I know for a fact that I am switching doctor's, but just can't decide between Ghurani and Ortega.
September 6, 2016
How about I was also thinking of Ortega.. Lol.. they are ALL so good! I keep going back and forth with my choice. I am trying to get scheduled right at the end of Dec to take advantage of the promotion, but if not then I will probably also be doing it around the same time as yours.
September 6, 2016
Whenever I tell someone I'm getting this done, they all think I'm crazy.. its a little disappointing but I'm glad that I'm doing it for myself and no one else.
September 6, 2016
EXACTLY!! always remember it is something you are doing FOR YOU!!! at the end of the day everyone ALWAYS has their opinions about things. As long as you know your reason, then that is all that matters sweetie. I haven't told many people, for one I am sort of a private person and two I know my attitude and when someone try to tell me what to do with MY hard earned money, then I go off lol lol. But yes, I am mos def doing this for myself and my fiancee is 100% on board with it and helping me through the process of choosing the right doc. He told me to go with the doc that I LOVE. I am a penny pincher, so I am battling with the price of Ghurani, but in the back of my mind I keep hearing that saying "you get what you pay for!" so I know for a fact Alvarez is out of the question b/c I keep having doubts and plus a lot of his reviews people have to go back for round 2 or just not satisfied at all. I had one of his dolls private message me last week and advised me not to go to him b/c I will mos likely be disappointed due to looking at my wish pics, she said he didn't even deliver half of what she expected.
September 6, 2016
I see Ghurani has a special going for $5500 if done by the end of this year. I emailed my coordinator Liz, but have not heard back yet. I had emailed her and told her I wanted to sign a contract for Ortega, but still waiting to hear back. I am going to call another coordinator most likely so I can get this done and a piece of mind lol. There is a girl by the name of Lovely86 I believe, but she has a youtube channel of her BBL journey with Dr. Ortega and ooooooo wee man, her results are AAAAMAAAAAZING!!! Her youtube name is Ashlee, but I forget the last name. but just look up BBL journey with Dr. Ortega and her videos come right up from the beginning to the end of her journey. She had NOTING BUT GOOD THINGS TO SAY about Dr. Ortega.
September 6, 2016
I've seen the same things about Alvarez. Some good, but some bad and that makes me skeptical.. its like a hit or miss and I cant afford a "round 2" Lol. I think ive seen that one with Ashlee.. Ive watched so many but if she has long braids and is light skin I believe Ive watched and her results are jaw dropping! The special for 5500 is why I'm trying to get in right before Jan but who knows if he takes appts the last week considering all the holidays going on. As far as the coordinators.. I don't even know what to say about them. I see good and bad reviews. I'm trying to be positive and hopeful because I haven't had much experience with them up until now. I will say that I spoke with Emily-shes my assigned coordinator I guess and I thought it was strange that after sending her my pics from her initial email specifically for BBL.. she said they were evaluated and I should have a tummy tuck, breast lift ect ect.. but didn't menation my BBL which is what I wanted to get evaluated. That did scare me a bit because as much as I would love a mommy make over.. I wanna work my way up from the bottom.. literally. Lol.. Anyway i'll keep you posted on my experience.
September 6, 2016
I think she might have confused me with someone else.. and that's rather serious considering the topic in question.
September 19, 2016
I am goin with Doctor Ghurani Dec 8th. So excited. I haven't told many people, because they can be very judgmental
September 19, 2016
Girl yes! I made the mistake of telling some people and their reaction was that of me being crazy. Others supported me, its like 50/50. First it bothered me, but not I'm feeling unphazed. As long as I am happy, that's all that matters. Are you scared? His works is amazing, although hes more expensive than his partners id reather not have any regrets later. I know myself.. and that would be likely if chose otherwise.
September 19, 2016
I am terrified! The whole no sitting thing is what is going to be hard lol. But having surgery earlier this year gave me a little experience. Also experience about working with these clinics. I kinda know what to expect, so I am preparing myself. There is just so many questions I have, that I don't know where to begin! I am reading a lot of reviews which is very helpful.
September 19, 2016
Yes, that's good, reviews definitely give you a heads up as far as what to expect. Because of the previous reviews, I know that spectrum isn't a place with A1service as far as staff.. often posts will let you know in advance that your treated more like a number, than a person. But with the actual Drs performing the surgery.. reviews are great as far as them being attentive and realistic with us. So I'm coming into this knowing that it might not be the best experience staff wise but definitely best contouring for my body. I go through phases of being excited to being scared. I think its all normal. I like that we have this site and can talk about the before and afters.. its a good support system. Lol
