After much research and hype, I decided to schedule a consult with
Dr Miami. His office is about 35 mins away from me so it's pretty much meant to be.
I scheduled my appointment and 3 weeks later (first available) I finally walked into balbody.

I waited about 30 mins and finally met the celebrity surgeon everyone has been raving about.
The doc seemed rushed, I could barely get my words in but he was honest and kind. I know he runs a busy practice. I kept in mind that actions speak louder than words and I know he'd be a great doctor to work with.

With that being said, he asked me how much I weighed and I said 5'6 and 115lbs. (This is actually the heaviest I've ever been.) He looked at me and said "ohh ohh". After removing my gown, he took a look and said well good news, most of your weight is in your flanks (this is true), about 800cc in each. Long story short after telling/showing him pics of my dream booty he said I'd need to gain at least 10 lbs but the more the merrier.
After seeing him I was directed to speak with the coordinator (Ari). We went over costs and dates. 6999 for the bbl. The only problem was the date. This man is super booked and it's only getting worse. It was March 13 and the first available surgery day was in Nov.
I did not end up scheduling my surgery since I went in with a specific date in mind because of school.
Fast forward to now and it's May. I finally decided to go ahead and call to give my deposit and now surgery isn't available until June 2016.
Great.... On the upside, I live really close so if anyone cancels surgery for any reason, I can take over their spot.
This also gives me time to gain 20lbs which might seem a little crazy but I'm scared he might not have enough to inject during surgery.

I putting my deposit in next week. Super scared and excited.

Ps if anyone is canceling/changing dates lmk

Congrats on making the leap to pay your deposit. :) I was considering "Dr. Miami" for my BBL and Breast Aug, but one of my concerns is that celebrity status. I hate that feeling of being rushed at the doctor. And dang that a whole year from now! I know you said he was nice, but do you think he truly addressed all of your concerns? Also, I am relatively thin (5'8" 135lbs) so I was also thinking that I might need to gain weight for my sx. Did he give you any tips on how to gain that 10-20lbs?

With any surgeon you're rushed honestly, well the consultation but he does give you time to ask anything lol I was too excited I forgot all my questions

This will be my second cosmetic surgery, I got a Breast aug about 3-4 years ago. My surgeon was the total opposite. He was soooo patient let me ask a billion questions but he was an introvert. You could tell that he wasn't a people person at all. So although doctor Miami is super rushed, he has a great attitude to make up for it. And yes the doctor told me to eat and eat. Junk food before bed (donuts) seems to help. It might seem horrible but I've heard that "bad fat" like junk foods tend to work better than the "good fats" like avocados and nuts. Also he mentioned something about weight gainers (protein powder). I know Chelsea, one of his staff used it days leading up to her surgery to gain weight. I actually requested to go see him so I can ask him more questions. This time I'll write them down and I'm bringing printed out pics to show him lol.

be careful about all that bad fat.. i did that and ended up with cellulite on my thighs. its good for the weight gain but at the same time, its not healthy and not cute when u have a jlo booty with cellulite thighs =/ i recommend the weight gain shakes, thats what i drank

Great idea to write down your questions. He's definitely on my list of doctors to get a consultation from. I've been eating a lot of junk, but I feel like my stomach just can't take it. I think I'm going to try having a weight gain Ensure drink with each of my meals.

& I hope there is a cancellation soon so that you can be extra sexy for that dirty 30!! LOL :)

Hey Ari is super, she's my coordinator!! The practice is getting very busy and yes he is sweet and funny but he is also rushed haha. Try to pay off your surgery ASAP and make sure you're on that cancel list. I also live 40 mins away ☺️☺️ My date is in two weeks. Look at the bright side you locked the price before the hike that's happening in June

Congrats on committing to a date! I am also 5'6" but I weigh 109-111 I am trying so hard to gain weight. How does his schedule for the summer look? I am really interested in going to him but I also have the same worries of the date conflicting with school. I wanted to do it in December but I am realizing that may be out of the question. I am looking forward to following up on your journey!!! Will you be posting before pictures?
