Hello ladies,
I am highly considering having a bbl done with Dr. Enrique Hanabergh Jr in florida. He has a 5 star raiting, but doesnt have a ton of reviews. Also, the pictures of his work that I have seen are great, but they are all takenight only a month post op. Has anyone out there had a bbl done with him who is at least 6 months post op, if not longer? I'm wanting to know if a good majority of the fat transfered stayed long term or if the majority of it was reabsorbed. Do u feel he is worth having the procedure done with?

My first choice for the surgery was Dr. Matthew Shulman in NY but he quoted be $16,500 which I can't currently afford. So I have been search other doctors.

Hi, ask for pics of bbl from your coordinator. I understand from reading other realselfers that pictures are copied and used by some doctors.

I'm in the same boat as you. I'm considering him but I have reservations.
June 29, 2016
Right! I talked to his staff today and hopefully will talk with him directly tomorrow. So far the answers I have gotten have been good, what you would expect and hope to hear. My only reservation is wanting not being able to see pics that are 6 months to a year out to show proof of long term results. Is that your only reservation with him or did you have other concerns? I only ask because perhaps you found out something that I haven't that I should be aware of.

Honestly, I'm so confused. I went to about 13 consultations with 13 different doctors and every time I think I've narrowed it down to a couple, I go on Real Self and I'm back to square one. The ones that are on my short list are Hanabergh, Pazmino, Blinski, Pazmino, Mendietta, Llorente, salama, and Perry. Whew! I like his personality the best and I feel comfortable with him, but he doesn't have as many years of experience as the others. That's one of my fears. I don't see many bbl reviews on him. He's personable but I just don't know what to do. The girls who have posted reviews just look okay. I'm so torn and I have to get it done in August do I have to choose someone ASAP.
June 29, 2016
Oooops. Sorry. Llorente is absolutely not on my list!!! I meant to write Perez-gurri.

I hear ya. I have been researching for about a year and a half now and have had over 2 dozen consultations. The one I really want to do my surgery, is Dr. Shulman in NY. But in order to afford him, I will need to save up for like 3 or 4 more years since he wants to charge around 17K for a BBL. But his results are phenomenal.

I like Dr. Gregory Wiener in Chicago as well, but again, looking at close to 12K for him.

Miami is definitely the cheapest place to get it done without having to go out of the country, but it also has the highest percentage of terrible doctors as well. So this makes it so hard to weed out the good ones. I agree that Mendietta is a good dr for bbl. He too is somewhat pricey, but he wants me to gain nearly 25 lbs in order to have the procedure with him. Even if I could gain it, which would be very hard, there is no way I would be able to maintain that weight long term. So that knocks Mendietta out as a possible dr for me. I dont know much about Pazmino, I will have to look into him. Out of the other doctors, tho, Hanabergh has the least negative reviews and the least negativity tied to his name. I saw his results on instagram and they look awesome for a bbl. But again, these girls are only a few months post op. I am requesting from Hanabergh to get me pictures of girls that are at least 6 months post op. I need to see permanent long term results after swelling and any fat re-absorption is finished. If he cant provide this, then I will most likely keep saving and go to Dr. Shulman.

And I am so glad Llorente is not on your list. He is not on mine and I want nothing to do with having him as a surgeon.

Exactly islandvibe, so how do you know? He has availability because he's not in demand. It seems like a lot of girls aren't going to him for whatever reason, so there really aren't more than a couple of reviews. The waiting period for the popular doctors is soooo long.

Hello ladies,

I have been doing lots of research the past few months on the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure. I am looking for a certified plastic surgeon in the USA that is well versed in this procedure. I am looking for someone who has zero cases of bbl related deaths and also someone who had good long term results with at least a 70% retention rate of the fat transfered into buttock and hips. There are some very good doctors out there, but they are charging 15-25k, which let's face it, most normal working citizens can't afford. I am looking for a good surgeon that is more affordable and within the the $8,500 range. Any suggestions???????

Best Surgeon for Bbl on Thinner Patient

I have somewhat narrowed down what doctors I think would be best for a BBL. I am 5'5", now 140 lbs after my weight gain, and am wanting the best and safest doctor I can get for this procedure. I love dra durans results, she is amazing at getting a super snatched in waist and ridiculous curves and projection. However, I am not willing to risk having this surgery done outside of the states. Plus I have heard many negative reviews about her bedside manor and the ability to reach her and her staff if you should need them post op.

I am thinking about going to either Dr. Llorente, Dr. Jaimie Schwartz, or Dr. Dass to have the bbl procedure done. Thoughts???? I do like Dr. Matthew Schulmans work, as well as Dr. Payam Jarrah-Nejad, they are a little bit out of my price range. Would you say they are any more superior to the three listed above? Ie, worth taking more time to save up more money to have them do it? Anyone else you all would suggest looking into?

Do you have any updates on what Dr you choose or whether or not you had your bbl sx yet?,
