Had consulted several doctors . Think this doctor is most experienced , honest . Told me I need to gain 10 - 15 pounds . I am really worry how long will I need to gain weight ? Will 2 or 3 month do it. I never been more than 119 pound . Fast metabolism. My husband does not want me to do procedure . He said likes me as I am . But will support me if I really want to. I also worry about thigh lipo if it will make my skin looser . Than would need thigh lift and I hear that is the worth for pain. Also concern having lumpy stomach since had TT and lipo 2 years ago and probably have some scar tissue there . Lots to worry about. Specially beeing older than most girls going for bbl.

Im 50 and wanting bbl. Im slim 5'4 and around 100 lbs and at the consultation he told me I would need the implant to get the results I wanted. My husband isn't really happy about me having to go through the pain of the surgery but, he knows how much I want it.

Can anyone tell me what to wear for surgery . I was thinking baggy VS sweat suit. But looks like most people wear maxi dresses . What size maxi dress should I buy and where? I usually wear small.

Good luck. I too am 40 plus...and alittle nervous because of my age. However I did round 1 ...2 yrs ago. This will be my last attempt at the bbl. Ive never weight more than 130, but I think my height contributes. Im 5'8 and slim.

Wow! You brave! Why are you going for round 2? Not big enough ?
September 12, 2014
NOT noticeable at all. Till this day NOBODY. ..has complimented me. I only told 4 people, they didnt believe I had surgery. 250cc was injected into each cheek. I didnt do my research, went on a friends referral. This time im doing my homework. Lol

Oh my I can only imagine going trough all that pain without results ! Did you pick out a doctor ? Do you have surgery date?
September 13, 2014
Fortunately, my experience was NOTHING to the posts on here. I had NO down time, drains, massage nor pain. So im mentally and emotionally preparing myself. Started muli vitamins, iron and vitamin c...a few weeks ago. No I havent pick a doctor nor date. Aiming for Dr. Fisher and Dec.
September 13, 2014
Hi Nadrojcu. You said you did round one two years ago? Who did your round 1? And other than your bbl wat else did you have done? I ask cause I'm 42 yrs old and am doing my homework before I decide who I will pick. I've been all over the map. Lol. In looking for aggressive lipo to my arms, back, flanks, abdomen inner thighs, fat grafting to my hips, bbl, ba and tt. Good luck to everyone!! :)
September 13, 2014
Yes, I had round 1 in 2012 with Dr. Delange. Ive had my eye on (Vanity cosmetic in Miami) Dr. Fisher...him and Dr. Hasan seems to be the TOP doctors on realself, very aggressive. However theres NUMEROUS good plastic surgeons. Several of my coworkers has gotton the bbl and procedures done...from California to Miami. All of my coworkers AREN'T our age....but they look PHENOMENAL, A COMPLETE TRANSFORMATION! Good luc.

I was considering fisher but he seemed good but now I see that numerous women here complained about their butts ending wide with a square shape or full on top but flat on bottom. Don't know if he's burned out or what but him n mendieta were my #1 pick then I heard of pazmino, salama, almonte and hasan but hasan was immediately out cause he's a dermatologist not a plastic surgeon. Google maribel cardona and see what happened to her. I also researched vanity here on realself and omg I found plenty of things to make me run. I'm just reading everyone's stories and taking notes. It gets confusing cause you also see the good which are the fisher and hasan dolls and I love their booties so I guess is our personal decision who we end up going with. Sorry. Don't mean to make hasan or fisher dolls here. Remember they where my #1 pick too
September 13, 2014
Ya, each case is different. 2 coworers have gone to fisher and 1 have got to Hasan. Although hasan doll looks BETTER than the 2 fisher dolls...they each had totally DIFFERENT body frames. 1 lady went to California. .. hers is the BEST, however she paid $10k. Out of my price range.
