WORTH IT$5,000
So I'm scheduled for a BBL with Dr. Arnaldo Valls at Vanity Cosmetics in Miami on October 19... I'm suuuper nervous and can't believe it's only a few week away!

A little background on me.. I'm 25 years old, 5' 7" 168 lbs. I've never really been ashamed of my body and actually have been pretty proud of it. I'm not really overweight- except for the fact that I gained some weight for this surgery to ensure that I get the booty size that I want- but I always felt that I could use more booty.. and a smaller waist wouldn't hurt :)

I'll be posting before pics soon and will make sure to keep you guys posted...

Dr Blinski? Just look him up on this site. I got my consult for free. He seems to be genuine and conscientious about the patient and his work.

Why don't you try Dr Fixit Blinski? Vanity may not be the best choice.

I definitely agree with you there and I am a patient of vanity.

I wasted over $7000

Now you are the person I want to talk to because I don't see many here that's my height. I'll be 44 next month and I'm 5'7 and weigh 149. I have 7 kids with 4 of them being adults and being overweight as you can see is not happening. How did you gain weight if you don't mind telling me asking? I've been trying hard.
October 20, 2016
When is your surgery? Honestly I just ate out twice a day and always ate a meal right before bed. It wasn't to hard for me to gain weight because I'm always on a diet and missed food quite a bit lol

I'm getting ready to scedule soon. Hopefully by Jan or Feb. I have never had to diet. I've starting drinking the weight gain shakes and I always eat before bed or if I wake up at 2 in the morning. I'll try to eat like you said and see what I can gain. Thanks again you look great.

Good luck today!

October 19, 2016
Did you get it
October 19, 2016
Yes! Just got to the recovery house a couple hours ago. I didn't do it with dr Valls though.. he didn't feel comfortable doing my surgery because I was on birth control, and nobody told me I had to stop taking it! So I ended up with dr calva who was awesome... I'll post an update later tonight when I feel a bit better and I'll try to take pics

I'm glad you got Calva. I'd love to see your results. I wanted him to do my fat transfer to breast.

How did you know what size faja to get? Cause I'm thinking about ordering me one!
November 8, 2016
The one I ordered was way too small so I had to just buy one from the dr. Sizing is weird
User Avatar
November 8, 2016
Did Dr Calva have any or do you recommend I order my own cause I was thinking I should wait till I get there to get one from them
November 9, 2016
Yea just wait until you get to the clinic when you go to your preop appointment. They'll have you try one on to make sure it fits

The pain is unreal guys. This is not something I mentally prepped, like I'm still unable to walk without pain or feeling like I'm going to black out..

Anywho, like I mentioned in an earlier comment, I ended up having my surgery done by Dr. Calva instead of Dr. Valls due to him not being comfortable about me being on birth control pills- btw no one had to told me to stop taking it. Anyways the office manager offered me Dr. Calva for just $500 more and I'm so glad I went with him. He was very clear about what plan he had for my body and from what I can see, he delivered! Although I have yet to take off my faja.

Keylas recovery has been a LIFESAVER. Like seriously guys I don't know what I would've done without her, she is the sweetest thing ever and I highly recommend her. The other girls that are staying here too have been super helpful and kind.

I'm in day 4 recovery its terrable for Mr im so happy I have my dr texting me daily to help me im scared and going insane because I can't move...what did u eat did u go back to ur normal diet
November 8, 2016
You sound like me! I had the worst recovery and I couldn't even walk until like day 4 or 5. I drank a lot of gatorade which I think helped, and drank ensure. I didn't really have appetite for food for the first few days but by day 4 I was eating PB&J sandwiches... goodluck with your recovery, you'll be okay

I'm getting nervous about going with Dr Calva. I see you posted a question about bruises turning into burns. Did you speak to Dr. Calva about this? I wonder if this is happening to all of his patients.
November 8, 2016
Yea, the reason I havent posted that is because I'm not sure if that was caused by him or not. After surgery I didn't have anything on my back and it appeared perfectly fine. After a few days large bruises(or what looked like bruises) appeared. After about 2 weekd the bruises turned hard and started scabing. So I'm wondering if it was caused by me not wearing lipofoam on my back, because I wore lipo foam on my stomach and my stomach looks perfect... I sent Dr. Calva photos and he says its from the garmet rubbing against my sensitive skin... but Idk, I'm seeing a dermatologist and he doesn't seem to know what exactly caused it either, but it's healing well.

I'm glad to hear its healing well. If it didn't happen to your stomach it may have been the garment. Those garments are very uncomfortable. Are you getting massages
November 8, 2016
I got massages everyday for the first week but I honestly don't think they're very helpful. The compression garment and lipo foam are more important

I don't see any pics, I would appreciate your pics before and after. I am scheduled with Dr Calva 3/1/17. I was going to Texas but after seeing some of Calva's reviews, I changed to him . I plan to look up keyla RH , so much mentioned about Claudia RH. Amy Callabeto from Dr Calva'S is like a top secret service person, she is on time with everything since the first day I wanted a consultation, I would ask from her if you want a consultation anyone reading this post. I am happy for you and your recovery. Paid my down payment. Did you get the platelet Rich Plasma injection into buttocks ?
