So, i have been unhappy with my body for a while now. I am in my late 20s and my measurements are; bust- 41-1/2"(36 DDD), Waist-33", and Hips-41". After seeing a co-worker get her new body (brazilian butt lift) in May 2015, I knew i really wanted to go through with this. I originaly was going to go to the same Dr. as my co-worker and have my surgery done this summer, but it was way too expensive ($20,000). I was going to give up and put the brazilian butt lift into my bucket list for the far future until, I was told by a friend about RealSelf.com. Once again my wishes for a new body became a reality.
I have been on this site like there is no tomorrow. BTW thank you to all you wonderful "Dolls", who have shared your experience with us. It definitely has been helping with my decision making.
Through realshelf.com I noticed that out of state is so much less expensive, but I am definitely not going to go out of the U.S. If something happens there is no law to protect me, so I narrowed it down to Miami Florida, where the prices are more reasonable than the North.
Narrowing the doctors to Dr. Salama, Dr. Hasan, and Dr. Fisher. They have the best reputatin and the before and after pituers of these three Dr. are amazing. But pitues can be deceiving so do read what women have to say.

The beautiful and the ugly...
*Salama ($8,899) - known for having a great staff, but also cancelling on clients who are flying from out of state, giving BIG, ASS, BUTTY, as well as burns through excessive liposuction, and consistency with not always being on point (unevenness).

*Dr. Hasan ($4,500)- tiny waist, and BIG, ASS,BUTTY. He was my first choice but still not so sure. He works at two different location one being Vanity (this place has a caption of its own) he is not a certified plastic surgeion and he does not use drains after performing the BBL. I called my best friend, who is a nurse and told me that liquid fluids can build up inside you and then need to be drained with a syringe, this is called "Seromas" http://www.healthline.com/health/seroma#Treatment7. And from what i have been reading on here its true, a lot of his patients have had this problem, but then again i just ready one review where a doll had the same issue with Dr. Fisher who does use drains.

*Dr. Fisher ($5,000)- Works at Vanity, as well as three other location

He seems to be very popular on RealSelf.com (as well as Dr. Salama). Fisher gives very perporsinal BBLs from what i hear and from what i have been seeing. I only read one review, where someone's cheek was bigger than the other.
I have up to March to pick my dr. becuase i want to have my BBL done in July 2016, so i will continue to research until then.

VANITY- The rivews are right... vanity is corrupted.. My drama has already started with them. It all started last Monday, when i called for pricing. They told me that they were running a special for out of town patients. Hasan $4,500 and Fisher $5,000. I asked about the Recovery Home and i was quoted $1,000 for 7 days and 6 nights. I repeated back exacley what she said, twice, and she said, "yes, thats right". I even wrote it down on my notes...(Keep notes) She told me to send in pitures, which i did, and any quations that i had. This started an email conversation, where I asked her to email me the exact amount of my surgery. She was very fast at emailing me back, props to that. Everything was the same on the wirtten quote except for the R.H. which now was listed for $1,350 five days and four nights. I wrote her back and asked why, i was told one price over the phone, and another through email? She replied, "I am sorry for the inconvenience, it must have been a misunderstanding but unfortunately we do not have any recovery home for that price". I replied that, i was not crazy that i had my notes right in fron of me from the phone conversation. She has not replied, but i also i did send that email Friday night around 10pm, waiting for her reply, but Lession learned...im only doing email for impartant questions that is, if I still desided to go with them. I will make sure to have everything on paper before taking any steps with Vanity. Oh yes, and i read that they cancel alllllllllllll the time surgery dates. Do i really want to comit to them?

So even though i have not chosen a docter just yet, i started shopping for necessary supplies.

Hi, I just have to say that I had a breast augmentation with Dr salama 2 years ago. I am extremely happy with the results. He gave me the size and the shape that I wanted. We kept an extraordinary communication even after I left. I trust his work so much that I am booked already for a BBL with him on March. Also I had no problem with cancellation or nothing like that. As soon as I got there he saw me and boom next day morning he transformed my breast. I highly recommend him. Good luck on your journey!

Thank you for sharing that with me. Good look with your bbl... i will be fallowing your journey :)

I personally have to say that I wouldn't travel outside of the US for my surgeries, regardless of other experiences and prices. Everybody is not the same. If something goes wrong I just feel safe in the US. I am a nurse and I trust our infection control and instruments sterilization procedures more than any other country. I have heard very good things about Dr Medina, but like I said it's just my personal opinion. I rather to pay a little more and feel safe.

"love handles and Flanks" I thought they where the same thing??? Quote from Vanity and Salama.

mega101
Here is my quote from Vanity-
Dr.Hasan special price at the moment is $4,500.00 his original is $5,000.00 . Dr.Fisher special price is $5,000.00 his original is $6,000.00.
These prices include All surgery room fees, Full panel of lab work, Unlimited consultations and follow ups, General anesthesia, Anesthesiologist who will be in the room at all times, Liposuction and Liposculpture on all twelve areas like Upper and lower abdomen, Waist, Bra line, Love handles, Flanks and fat transfer into butt and hips.
*I thought that flanks were "love handles", am i wrong? Someone please answer...

Here is the quote from Salama-
In regards to your inquiry the pricing of the surgery is $8,299. That price is all-inclusive for the surgery. Payment for the surgery does not need to be paid in full upfront, rather a 10% deposit to hold your surgery slot. The deposit is NON-REFUNDABLE. You can schedule up to one year from now for your surgery. Balance of surgery is due three weeks prior to surgery date.

We do have a process for out of town patients to do their consultations with Dr. Salama.
We ask that you send to the following secure email address: contact@epsmiami.com three pictures (front, side, and rear – please make sure underwear is a bit lower than usual so that the doctor can see how your stomach sits) In the subject line, write “Cynthia”
The liposuction areas that are included in the Brazilian Butt Lift are: abdomen, flanks, and upper & lower back. Included in the surgical package is:

· Surgical fee

· Anesthesia Fee

· Facility Fee

· 2 Custom Compression garments

· 2 Post-Operative massages

· 1 Boppy pillow

· Post operative Abdominal Board

· Post operative Lipo Foam


Each additional area of liposuction will be $500. The additional areas that can be added depending on available fat are: inner & outer thighs, arms, submental, and axillas.

In order to make your journey convenient and relaxing, Dr. Salama is pleased to inform that we’ve partnered with Serenity Recovery Retreat to offer full service recovery stay. For an additional $1,899, they will provide all transportation needs during your stay, grocery/pharmacy stops, fresh made meals, and 24 hr supervision to insure your well-being. Pricing is for a ten day stay at the facility. Please inquire as availability is limited. You can visit their website at www.serenityrecoveryretreat.com.
Honestly, even though Dr. Salama is more expensive, I feel more comfortable reading his proposal.

I believe the flanks are the fat rolls right under your bra and the love handle is the part we typically grab aka the muffin top. I thought the same thing when i reread my notes i jotted down from vanity.
