Hello ladies!!! I know you guys were a little worried about me. Just saw your comments and I'm so sorry I didn't post updates or respond to your comments. I've been traveling from NY to dubai to abu dhabi to NY again then Atlanta and Miami. I decided to do coolsculpting instead of bbl to get rid of the little bit of fat in my back and belly because its not a lot of fat and with coolsculpting its non anesthesia, non surgical, non invasive and the fat melts after 6 weeks.Doing cool sculpting procedure next month and I will upload before and after pix in late December because thats when I will see results. I felt that my butt was already a good size and all i need is to do is get back to my squats and wear waist trainers(My butt gets very big when i stay on top of my squats and keep my weight). I think this was best because adding more fat from my stomach to my butt would have not been proportioned with my bottom legs and may have turned out awkward. I don't have very big bottom legs.

Girls I'm thinking about cancelling my BBL surgery

So I've been reading more on this fat embolism stuff and although its a rare occurrence, its very scary. I would love to have a beautiful body but I love my life even more and have a career and love and family to come home to. There were two women that died in the past few years at Vanity in Miami and this was from fat embolisms. Now they mentioned in these articles that the surgeons responsible were not board certified plastic surgeons but I'm still freaking out. Then I came across the old stories about Kanye West mom's death and still no one has confirmed the cause of it. The surgeon is saying she had extensive surgery (lipo+tummy tuck+breast implant) and that he advised her to go to a facility to heal but instead she chose to let her nephew who is a nurse care for her. Apparently, he left her alone to go to a baby shower and she was lying on her back and choked. Other than this, there was no info from the autopsy. What do you girls think I should do? I'm going to try to have a consultation with Ghurani before I pay but I just want to know what you girls think. I know Ghurani is double board certified and left Vanity and is now at Spectrum Aesthetics. I'm wondering if he separated from Vanity because of their malpractice and to protect his reputation.

Ok boo do what u feel is best for u

I don't know girl. It really is scary and I wouldn't be so quick to tell you to just do it because it's your life. Speak to the Dr. and ask him what he does to minimize chances of embolism. Also ask a few others and compare answers. I always think about it too :/

Awwwww, Im sorry to hear that. Trust, I understand, as I had reservations some time ago when I head of her death. Like laybryyd said, every surgery has that possibility, but knowing your Dr. is qualified (double board certified), totally experienced in his field, honest and cares for his patients, I believe you will be covered.
Complications come when persons dont follow the Dr.'s direction at times and others....well lets just say its in God's hands. You seem to be very smart and Im sure you have done your research on Dr. Ghurani, and prayerfully after your consult you will feel comfortable again and follow thru Queen!!! Continue to pray about it, as I will for our strength. You can do it Girlly!!!

No, I go Feb 23rd. I had a hysterectomy in 2009 and work in the medical field so I see soooo many successful surgeries. Im confident we are in good hands. Try to stay off the internet;) and follow thru strong. You are almost done...P.S my besti went to Dr Macadoo right after his issue and she was walkin around 1 day after surgery, and looks great with no complications. Every situation is different.. She said it is not really painful just sore and tightness... Just follow the directions by knowing when to stop your vitamins pre-op and meds and care post -op and you will be fine and your body will be OFF THE CHAIN Babes.... Im trying to stay positive as well, I think everyone probably have there pos and cons.. but, again WE will be fine!!

So funny Vanity just called me about a new deal. I changed from them because they didn't have the time I needed, and to get that time they wanted 2700$ down, um no because I heard they give you a hard time if you want a refund, but probably would have ended up there if they had my date. Anyway, I talked to Alveraz(nothing was wrong with him, Lena is amazing) and than Ghurani staff at Spectrum. The minute it was time to put my money down, I freaked out, I got really scared and delayed it. I completely understand where your mind set is right now. Any surgery is a risk no matter where you are or who does it, however, you want to make sure you are in the best care or with someone who is experienced enough to know how to handle risk. I had a tummy tuck in 2009, I was a little anxious, but I knew I couldn't take my stomach anymore so I was ready for it. I went with my gut and choose Ghurani. What you are feeling is very natural, I heard other Ghurani patience's say they freaked out and he calmed them down. We are all here for you and whatever choice you make we will not judge you? Lastly, remove the negative, because you can bring them to light; stay in a positive zone. I know it's easier said than done.

Yes girl I've seen a lot of bad things about Vanity online. They even still have Dr. Omulepu working there after all that went down with him and his license getting suspended and all these client allegations about him not being available for post op questions and putting patients to stay at horse stables. Now he can do surgeries but not brazilian butt lifts. That tells me a lot about their office if they still have him working there.

Can I say this to you, if the nephew is not certified to take care of this type of surgery then why didn't she just stay at a recovery home to heal. But they can't make you stay. They can ask you to stay.

So, I was online today and came across a patient saying she was worried that she wouldn't wake up from general anesthesia and right away I started to worry as well and relate to her concerns, even though I had already start to put my surgery fears aside and stopped thinking of any negativity. Now although this person may have been gullible and not knowledgeable of modern day general anesthesia, it still resonate with me. Now after I came across that anecdotal post, I came across a post on Instagram by the California Surgical Institute saying BBLs last between 7-12 years!! Like whaaaat? All the research I did stated that it is permanent once done by a skilled surgeon that deposits the fat in the right areas. What is this surgeon talking about? Why is he saying this?Why the hell did I have to come across these posts? This is what the internet does to you. Too many folks with keyboards that are able to say any and everything. Like for real...damn you internet... Now I will be stressing until God knows when. Does that ever happen to any of you girls??? You are excited one day and stressed the hell out and nervous the next day? This whole thing is like a roller coaster! The anxiety is so real... I try to keep calm but its so hard.

Yea this is me everyday especially being a nurse thinking of everything that could go wrong ... Than I remember everything that could go write ... It's a risk with everything ... This is risk I'm going to take ... Now I don't have any health issues and not high risk of i was I would never do anything like this
September 14, 2016
Honestly, there are a lot of things about plastic surgery that were not told about or that aren't discovered or understood yet. For example, a lot of women get weird weight gain in places they never had fat after a bbl like the neck, arms, cheeks, etc. It's weird. I think the key is just staying healthy. For me, it's worth it because I feel like a little boy. I can deal with the gym and decent food if it means I don't feel like a kid all the time lol.
