Brazilian Butt Lift with Mendieta/Salama

Dr. Mendieta

$9,850
I had my appointment with Dr. Mendieta this morning. Now my decision just got a lot harder. Dr. Mendieta says he doesn't recommend a tummy tuck first and says he recommends bbl then if my stomach bothers me and the compression doesn't help my stomach after lipo then we can do a tummy tuck! Exact opposite of Salamas recommendation! I don't want a tummy tuck either but for $9,000 I would be sad if my stomach didn't look some what better. Also Dr. Mendieta is more expensive and his price goes up after June. So I have a lot of thinking to do...

Dr. Mendietas office was just as nice as Salamas except a little more high tech where he takes your before and after pics and puts up on a screen and photo shops where he is going to liposuction then where he will inject the fat. Dr. Salamas was more of a medical office setting. I liked both. It was nice to see the before and after and it helped with imagining the finished product. His staff is great and his office very busy with lots of clients :)

Nancy from Dr. Salamas office just called and I asked if dr. Salama is willing to do bbl and not tummy tuck first and she said yes. Ugh now I'm stuck! Lots of thinking to do on who to go with. Tummy tuck is for sure on hold!

Just booked my consultation with Dr. Mendieta on June 6th 2013. Hopefully I will have my BBL in early 2014. I am looking for a flat tummy and a hourglass shape with a very round prominant back side. I Have a lot of fat in around my abdomen and I really carry most my weight in my mid section. I have lost 60 lbs. naturally and would like this to surgery to help shape things that have lost their shape. I have never had plastic surgery before and I am nervous about how the healing process will go. I will still workout and eat right to maintain my results. Looking for people who have had surgery with Dr. Mendieta and how they look before and after. I will be traveling from Oregon to Florida for this procedure. I can't wait to see the doctor. Any tips would be much appreciated!
