I would recommend you lose more weight first. I had the same dilemma, but decided that I wanted to look my best after my surgery so I went from 217 to currently 176 and I am 5'5 also. My surgery is scheduled October 4 and I plan to continue losing weight until the day before my surgery.

Thanks for starting a review, I would consult with a doctor to see what they think.  You can ask in our Doctor Q&A (be sure to include your pics) to get some preliminary info before you start booking consultations.

I'm getting a BBL done finally!

Hi everyone.

I know you all have heard and read so many reviews but not like mine. I'm like the million person to write about having or getting a BBL done but the only difference is my story. I wanted to share my story because I feel like I can to give someone hope or inspiration. Some people give up on their dreams or goals too easy but they shouldn't. To be honest I was one of those people that wanted to give up but I'm glad I didn't. These past few years were quite a rollercoaster for me but it made me strong. 

I have always wanted the surgery but was too scared and or something came up. The first time I wanted to have the surgery I paid the deposit and wind up pregnant. I was so upset but happy at the same time. I wound up losing the deposit but I guess it didn't bother me at all because I was excited that I was expecting my first child. After having the first child I plan on getting surgery again. I spent 5 days a week and worked my ass off to only wind up pregnant again but this time I miscarried.

I was so devastated about the miscarriage but a did wind up getting pregnant again and not to mention gaining weight again. Anyway I started working out again, focusing more on losing the weight and right when I was losing so much weight and starting to gain my confidence back I got a unexpected surprise. I was 3 months pregnant. I was so disappointed and shocked. How could I let this happen after all the hard work? 

I was so sad but my mom always told me everything happened for a reason. God has truly blessed me with two handsome boys. I'm so grateful they are in my life. After 3rd pregnancy 2nd baby I finally decided that two kids are more than enough and I don't want anymore. If I really wanted to have this surgery done I needed to do something. I plan for a tubal ligation but instead wind up getting into a terrible accident and couldn't walk for nearly 6 months and had to take therapy for 6 months I was so depressed and a mess. 

If it wasn't for my family I don't know where I be right now, they were so supportive and held me up meanwhile I wanted to give up. I'm glad I didn't because after recovering from my accident I finally did get my tubes tied and gained 60lbs and weigh in at 235lbs. I didn't let that discourage me. It wasn't easy but I I finally lost some weight and c currently at 170lbs. I am beyond proud of myself. I didn't give up, I thank god for that. I am currently still working out. I finally paid my deposit and I will be getting surgery on March 13, 2020. 

I can't wait. I'm excited and I mean nothing is going to stop me keeping my fingers crossed. I just pray that I come in and come out ok from surgery. I will be staying at a recovery house for 7 days. Dr Chang is my decision. I had a few other doctors in mind but I really like and heard so many great and bad reviews on Spectrum Aesthetics but I still decided to go with them. I have had many friends that went there and have come out of Spectrum alive and with great results so that is why I choose to stay with Spectrum Aesthetics. 

I also met with two doctors, Mel Ortega and Dr Chang, and I felt confident that they will take care of me. Don't give up people, goals are whatever you make it. I hear mixed things about this office but ima let god take the wheel praying that when I get my surgery done, get great results but most of all I would be alive to continue my journey. Any opinions, advice or information I should be aware of please feel free to share. You can also check me out at Team_roman2016. 

I'm not sure if I'm making the right decision or if my family is going to be ok with this but I want to be happy feel confident and look beautiful. I have always wanted to have this procedure done. I have always struggled being wide and not having any shape I work out but yet after pregnancies my body won't bounce back the way I would like it to so god take the wheel. Wish me luck everyone and god bless you on you all journeys.

Judging by your story, you are already beautiful! No surgery can match your inner beauty! I pray that you have a successful surgery, smooth recovery and the smokin hot booty you deserve!

Please keep us updated on the process! I locked in my price with Chang as well but haven't decided on a date. I'm thinking March as well. I have heard great things about Chang and hear that he cares about his patients as well. I would like to know if he's one of the doctors that's practicing the new technique as far as not injecting the fat into the muscle causing a fat embolism. I seen where Dr. Miami posted a video on his page showing how he injects the fat avoiding the muscle. Can't wait to hear back from you!!
