Been Researching a Bbl Surgeon for 3yrs Finally Decided to Go with Dr. Salzhauer - Miami, FL

Initially hearing about the bbl procedure after having two kids two years apart I decided to research. I've researched sooooo many Drs from Dr Jimmerson (Atl) Dr Salzhaur (Miami) Dr. Cortes (Houston) Dr. Meade (Dallas) Dr Yilli (Dominican Republic) Dr. Fischer (Miami) all the above have had great reviews. My top likes just from my own personal research were Dr Jimmerson, Salzhaur & Cortes I was never able to reach Dr Cortes's office for consult but started following his IG where he quoted the bbl at 10,500 and the same for Dr Jimmerson. I then began Dr. Salzhaur who's price sounded so much better at 6995 and his work was just a good if not better then the other top picks. So I began to lean more towards Dr Salzhaur and follow his work on Ig I even created a snapchat to see his real time work and he's very down to earth and work is really good. I have set up my consult which is June 10th!! I'm nervous and very excited to get my final quote and meet doctor so he can tell me everything I need to do before surgery to get my body and the results I am praying for!!

Good for you!! I called weeks ago and they gave me a consult for OCTOBER and said the earliest appts. are MAY 2016.. Ummmmm yeah, about that. :(
April 27, 2015
Are they out until May already!!? Sheesh!! Yes I will put my deposit down after consult I probably won't be getting my surgery until Aug but I guess that gives me more then enough time to prepare physically and financially hopefully it's during Summer when I'm out for summer break. So have you decided 100% on your Dr? I was looking at another Dr in Miami who is a lot cheaper $3000 cheaper actually and he does ok work from the website Dr Ortega and dr Omulepu but I think Dr Miami coutures the body very well I'm not sure if this dr can pull it off per his website photos but then again per dr miami's website I wasn't convinced either I had to see his Instagram to see his artistic work. but Ortega is a lot more affordable and they have a recovery house that can be included in the pricing. I'm so confused. :-(

I actually paid a 300.00 deposit with Dr.Ortega which I am currently sacrificing and loosing, I really didn't do my homework on them as much. I was going to them for the price but it's not always about the price, I figure it's the quality. I couldn't really find too much snatched waist and butts popping. And plus as soon as I placed my deposit down with them, I know longer could could get in contact with my coordinator. I had a consult with Dr.Salzhauer on April 15! And loved it, I placed my 1000.00 deposit down to secure my sx date but he's already booked out until the 3rd week of June 2016. I was kinda upset but I know with him you won't go wrong. And actually my coordinator knew I wanted to have my sx before my 30th bday 6/24, so she found me a sx date on 6/10. I'm getting a BBL which I was quoted 6996.00. At spectrum dr Ortega they had a special 4900.00 including recovery room but I just didn't want to go under the knife again and have to revise because I was unhappy.

Yesss and that in fact was what made me lean more toward Dr. Salzhauer it's truly NOT about price because the money u don't spend at the moment u might spend trying to correct it. So I agree 1000% I have been debating back and forth about putting my deposit down b4 consult but idk if that's a good idea! I'm really loving real self never knew how many women wee out there who felt like I do. Congrats in your surgery date!! Wish I could come with lol.

Awww thanks Hunny!! It's been a long journey! I've put it off for sooooo long but I'm like the hell with it lol! I'll be 30 years old my 2 daughters are older now, I'm single and this is the time! I'm really also considering doing the mommy makeover package! The bbl with BA and silicone implants I've lost some weight and a cup size :( so I'm like I might as well get it all done and over with at the same time because I don't wanna be put under again. I emailed my coordinater and she said she would look on the surgery calendar to see if I can add it so hopefully lol, I just really hate my boobs lol they look like cow [RS bleep] and I have a birthmark on my left breast. So adding implants would make me so much happier with them. And aww thanks doll!! I wish you could come with too!! It's so amazing to be able to share stories and thoughts with one another who are considering and have done the procedures. From my experience no judging or rudeness, which is a plus because I'm choosing to keep my mouth shut about what I'm doing to family/friends/coworkers. Lol it's best if they don't know.. I have one person that knows because she'll be helping me recover and take care of my daughter while we're out in Miami for a couple days. But here it feels good to freely talk about it. I would wait on placing your deposit down not unless you for 100% sure know this is the doctor for you! I knew instantly after talking to several doctors he was and I had to put my deposit down to secure my date! My goal was sx before The big 30!

Oh y/w..... & OMG yes I have 2 smaller children and single. I know I dont want anymore children though and I am in desperate need of my body back. I know Im beautiful but I just want to be able to shop with no problem like I use to. I will be 26 this yr but my youngest is 2. I reminisce on the days of going into a store and buying clothes without having to try them on. & I can't wait to see your results! I am the same exact way I don't need any one trying to discourage me my mind is 1000% set! & yes I just felt I should actually meet him 1st before placing my deposit but as for his work I am dead set on I haven't found anyone better yet and when I consider others there is always this gut feeling so I am going for what eases my mind and it is Dr. S. It's like he is more of an artist then anything I follow he snaps and IG in awe. I must say I am 100%. Seems if I wait for consult shoot i'll be waiting until Oct of next year at this rate :-( do they have a list you can get on if someone cancels?

Dr .Salama seems to be good also i wanted to go to Dr S but 2016 is toooo long to wait so I have to choose another physician
April 27, 2015
Yes trust me I know what you mean. But in my eyes he is truly worth the wait. My scare is going to someone who doesnt give me the results I want then i have to go and get a revision. I looked at Dr. Salama's work though I didn't have any complaints. I think he is a littler more like 8200? How fast is he able to get you in for surgery?
April 27, 2015
I m not sure I am in the look stage but I have all my money now that's why I am so frustrated
April 27, 2015
Oh ok got ya. I dont have all of my money. I am in school working toward my BSN so funds are not as great lol. So the fact that hes booked is quite alright with me because they said I can pay mnthl up until 2 weeks of my surgery date which sounded like a plan. My consult in June I plan to give them 2500 and then make payments monthly until paid in full. But I know that feeling I would be anxious as well...sitting on the money and no one to get the job done. UGH!! Well happy hunting hun. I started following you so can't wait to see who you decide and best wishes :-)

Yes but it's like 100-200 people on the waiting list. And you're right you just might be scheduled in October when your consult comes. My coordinator said he's in high demand. Which of course I know that being I have a year out sx date.. And girl you're so right! That's why I walked away from spectrum Aestetics and away from a 300.00 deposit I know I can't get back. But I had that gut feeling you were talking about. Like how am I following dr Miami but I out a deposit down for dr Mel Ortega which I've saw very little work done haven't even spoken with this doctor and now I don't hear from my coordinator. Dr s team and my coordinater always responds, dr s was very professional when I spoke to him. He gave me his suggestions, told me where he wanted my weight to be. Asked me what I wanted my rear end to look like which he said he can do with no problem. That gut feeling is no longer lol.. And plus he has had 10000 patients no serious complications or deaths and everyone loves him! I'm glad it's a year away! Because if you think about it 4 liters of lipo is about 8 lbs of fat! I don't wanna look how I look with moderation a even though my waist would be snatched and booty even bigger. I can challenge myself to go from 200 lbs to 170 where I always wanted to be. And like you said just walking into forever 21 and whatever stores like oh yeah I can fit that top! My waist is snatched! I don't think Mel Ortega could have given me my results I'm looking for
April 27, 2015
EXACTLY!!! Soo true!! $300 will be nothing after you get the resuts from Dr. S and after talking to you we are on the same page I think I will put my deposit down. & yessss foreer 21 MY STORE!!!!! LOL I am 5'5 185 I felt the same way it give me time to lose at least 20 lbs to get the best look. & think about it if we hit the gym hard to lose weight and the bbl ppl wont even suspect lol. We will work for the weight loss and Dr. S will just give us that BOOM That we need to get everything in tacked and it will be all natural NOT FAKE!!! I will be in touch I cant wait to see your results!! & I'll be posting here as well. With your bbl what areas are you having done if dont mind me asking? I want to lose weight because my arms will look hideous with a snatched waist and big but lol. My 3 areas will be abdominal, flanks and back but I would also like inner thighs :-) guess i will see what he quotes me for all of that lol.

April 27, 2015
So he told me full back flanks love handles, he would snatch my waist, full abdomen. So I'm thinking of adding either arms lipo or thighs. Just depends on what I loose within the year! Of course I'll ask him his opinion since EVERY bbl he's done the dolls look amazing and proportion. And yassssss real! Hell its our fat it's just in the WRONG place so yeah it's natural! No injected ass silicone or nothing lol! I won't even care what people say lol.. I just know we'll be amazing after surgery and I can't wait to reveal and see yours as well. Oh yeah we're the same height! I don't look 200 I carry the weight in my bottom half! These damn killer thighs, I like them some times but I wish they were a tad bit smaller.. And like you said we have to do our part! I hate seeing beautiful females with snatched waist and big bootays but don't put the work in! It's not a weight loss procedure just a enhancement you'd have to take care of. :) booty is a beautiful thing, I just rather look a little toned and smaller with my new booty and perky [RS bleep] lol.. And seee you know about forever 21 lol

I'm sure if they could invest in their bodies and look flawless there would be no shade thrown. But whatever with them!!! I can not wait!!! & lol yeah I saw your pics we do look about the same lol. This experience is about to be amazing :-) I've only told my mom because she will be traveling with me to help me after surgery. But we are going to be snatched hunty lol!! Keep in touch.

UPDATED FROM Selfconsciousmom_2

Due to having to wait for Dr Miami over 1 year I've changed to Dr Hasan

Selfconsciousmom_2
I've been doing more and more research. I wanted to go to the very known Dr Miami but it's May 2015 he's booked until Sept 2016. So I've decided to go with Dr. Hasan in Miami. I've been following some great hasan dolls and I'm very satisfied with their results. I've researched Dr Hasan and his certs, deaths, etc. I am confident he will deliver the results I want and I am very excited to share my journey with all of you. I am planning my surgery out for the next 7-8 months in between this time I will also be sharing my weightloss journey. I am currently 5'5 & 185 I want the best results considering I know these Dr's are PS's and not magic genies so I plan to work hard to lose about 20 lbs before surgery. Let's see how this goes lol. Thanks for reading and best wishes to the rest of you real self ladies????

This is why you should just go ahead with Hasan! I really wanted to go to del vecchio but I think it will be realistic as far as time and money for you to go to him!
