Hey dolls I'm just getting up the courage to post. I will be posting pictures soon after I edit my face out of them. I will start by saying I am very displeased at the moment with my results. I look the same as I did when I first walked in. I was originally scheduled with Sergio Alvarez on Dec 19. I was excited because he was the doctor I wanted. I get to Miami and there was a whole misunderstanding. Long story short my only option was to leave and make that 11 hour drive back to Alabama, waste gas, hotel cost, sunpass fees, and etc or switch to Dr.Valls and have the procedure done same price but next day. Instead of taking that loss I let Calls do my procedure. I am not sure that I made the right call on that. I let them know I was unhappy. They said it is normal to look similar to Presurgery body after surgery due to swelling. So I plan on waiting it out to see if there are any changes. They informed me that they will do a revision if I don't like what I see after 3 months. I just don't know tho.

These reviews are just plain scary. I’m not going to lie I got my BBL in DC/outside of MD by Dr Chiaramonte he is the bomb. My BBL cost 11500 and I couldn’t be more pleased. Yes there is swelling but Sis I had IMMEDIATE results after I woke up from surgery it felt like my stomach and waist was cut off completely. Seriously only place I was real swollen was my ass. And my butt was SUPER HUGE right after surgery and 2 YEARS later it went down a tiny bit. Seriously I was blessed to have him. He own BELLA COSMETICS he corrects so many of surgeries outta MIAMI it ain’t funny

Yes I'm fr...if I had wanted a flatter tummy only it would of been worth it but I went for a BBl. The butt does not look lifted at all to me
February 15, 2017
I was considering using him to tighten and lift my butt.

February 15, 2017
Well he ok with some ppl but for me it was an epic fail as u can see from my pics. Don't let the garments fool u because the garments will lift it to but when u take it off and put on clothes without it. It's way smaller

I am from Alabama too, I have had lipo and saw a little different but now it's been a month and I see more. My Dr will do more on the 30 of next month,

February 16, 2017
Wow, how long were you out from work? What about your butt? I have put a deposit with dr Valls but not many reviews on him .. I will be doing liposuction and fat transfer BBL .
February 16, 2017
I'm very skeptical I'm hoping you can win me over with your results:)
February 16, 2017
Go on instagram the girl who owns love something said Dr valls and calva is the two hottest right now cause Fisher is book I went on eres cosmetics gallery and you'll see his before and after pictures

February 16, 2017
Sorry I can't win you over with my results. Although my stomach is flatter my butt is still pretty much flat.
February 16, 2017
Oh no, did you get Liposuction and a BBL fat transfer to your butt?
User Avatar
February 16, 2017
Yes I got lipo and bbl... I am satisfied with my tummy and waistline. It's not flat but it is far from where it use to be and I am just fine with that. On the other hand, my butt is a huge disappointment for me I didn't see a big difference then and I still don't know. I'm 4 days from being 2 months post.

February 16, 2017
Yes I agree, you should see a difference almost 2 months. Are you in touch with dr valls
February 16, 2017
They need to know. Still in a lot of pain?
February 16, 2017
I was hoping I could do it 1week off from work ..
February 16, 2017
Did you stay in Miami for two weeks ?
User Avatar
February 16, 2017
No I stayed 5 days in Miami but only 3 days after surgery because they pushed my date back once I got there but I had only reserved room for 5 nights. They called me a month after. After that they told me to call back after 3 months if I still wasn't satisfied and that they would talk with me about a revision at that point.

A week seem pretty quick. You won't be in much pain after a week but the soreness and stiffness is enough to slow you down
User Avatar
February 16, 2017
I havE read that Dr. Valls is customer friendly when it comes to revisions and that he don't mind fixing a problem. I haven't talked to him directly since right before my surgery. I have only talked to his nurse which is normal I guess.
February 16, 2017
Okay good l know you don't want to do it again ,but you need to be happy
February 16, 2017
Especially you paid for that you need to have results for sure 100%
February 16, 2017
And have you that BBL pillow? Also did you have drains?
User Avatar
February 16, 2017
No I do not want to do it again the first day was so painful. Most ppl say the 2nd day is the worse but it was the first day for me
User Avatar
February 16, 2017
Yes I had drains (it was the worse) and I had a boppy pillow (practically useless). I suggest the BBl pillow it's more firm a boppy pillow is more plush and soft.
February 16, 2017
Did you have the drains removed before you left Miami ?
User Avatar
February 16, 2017
No I did a review on the drain. You should read it. This was my experience with the drain some ppl like the drain. It's a pretty long post but worth the read if u want to know what my experience was with it
February 17, 2017
Omg, I read your post on drains omg... I definitely don't want drains I hope it's not a must .
User Avatar
February 17, 2017
Alot of surgeons don't even use them at all. I honestly wanted the drain. I felt like that would be the best way to get rid of the fluid. After my experience I reached it a little more and most of what I came across say letting the body drain naturally is better but I am not a surgeon so I can't tell u what's best. I can only speak for myself

Drain

User Avatar
shay2009al
Those drains are the devil. So I was originally told to take drain out in 7 days by Dr. Valls. I was still draining a lot so I called to see if I should still take it out. I was told by his nurse not to take it out til I was draining less than 25cc a day for 2 days. Ok so after 13 days I was over the drain it was burning and hurting me. I went to get it removed even tho I hadn't drain less than 25 for 2 days. So I go primed because it is impossible to take out on my own. Long story short they couldn't get it out so they called Valls. Imagenes told Primed to snatch it out using pressure and that they told me to get it taken out 7 days after surgery (with they lying asses). Anywho sooooo they tried to snatch it and OMFG I almost [RS bleep] and did puss myself the tube was wrapped around my stomach to the opposite side of my waist I felt ever inch of it tugging and pulling through my insides. It burned and hurted so bad that I burst out telling and cursing. They had to stop and send me to emergency room. The emergency room showed no mercy what do ever. They doped me up on morphine for my husband and a nurse to hold me down and snatched the rest of what was about 1 and 1/2:/ long out of me. At least they was quick about it. That morphine has me feeling good til they did that. Luckily I emptied my bladder before that time lol...but hunny never again!!! Ever drop of morphine left up out of me then. I felt like my soul left my body. I cried like a lil baby and wanted my momma. It burned and ached for a while. Ladies of u can better tell ya doctor u prefer not to use the drains.

I'm so sorry you had to go through that. If you are not feeling your results would you do a round 2 or a revision ?
User Avatar
January 5, 2017
I'm not sure. Round 2 is not something I am looking into 1st this point. A revision maybe in my future if i just absolutely hate the results after a few months. Only because I don't want to feel like all my money went to complete waste

Hello doll im truly sorry you had to experience that. People work ro hard for money to just give it away. Im not a doctor or nurse but the post op pics i see the ladies butt looks huge after surgery and it goes down a lil bit. But everybody is different. I think i would feel the same way u feel. Im trying to have my bbl done April or May. My choices are Dr Mcadoo or Dr Calva or Dr Robles. Im doing my research hard. Dr Calva seen my pre op pics and a wish pic and was honest and said it would be a challenge so at least he was honest. I will continue to follow your journey and will keep my fingers crossed that u your booty gets how u want it hun
User Avatar
February 16, 2017
Thanks I haven't given up hope yet. I have been following a lot of girls. All the surgeons you are interested seem pretty good. I haven't seen any for Dr. Robles tho. Never heard of him but I wish you luck. Dr. Calls isn't a bad surgeon either but he didn't deliver my desired results
User Avatar
March 17, 2017
I'm glad to hear he isn't bad quite a few people say he does what he wants do instead of patient desires I have surgery Monday and I'm praying he delivers at least a flat stomach and a natural looking booty....... did you show him wish pics?
User Avatar
March 17, 2017
He don't do wish pics. He does what he thinks is best for ur body. I gave me a flatter stomach but the booty was an epic fail.

I bought one from curves while in Miami. The one i bought from ebay wasnt right. They had a sell i paid $65 for it. It was very good and firm. Dont know what it was called tge the lady working there told me which one was best for the surgery because its very common there.
