Hi everyone! I've been on Real Self for quite some...

WORTH IT$3,600
Hi everyone! I've been on Real Self for quite some time now doing tons of research and finally decided to make a profile. I'm a 27 year old mother of one and I've wanted for YEARS to have a bigger, rounder butt. Not a huge donkey butt, just something big but realistic looking. I considered Yily or Duran but I am sooooo uncomfortable with the idea of going out of the country, so I scoured the US for BBL specials. I finally came across Dr. Tachmes in Florida who is currently offering a $5400 BBL special until Sept 13 I believe. I hopped right on it and booked my Nov 8 date and sent in my deposit. I'm so excited and nervous! It would be awesome to find someone to buddy up and get our procedures done around the same time! I'll update as things progress. I'm just so happy I've taken my first step!

I'm so excited for you!!! I am afraid of leaving the country for mine too. I'm in the Nw & there isn't much to chose from around here! Can't wait to see your results

Thank you! I found that BBL was way too expensive up here and frankly, I think surgeons in Miami know a little more about BBL than here in the NW. I was lucky enough to find a deal that fit my budget. Good luck on finding a Dr and I'll definitely update as things go along :-)

I had a few consults, Cortes, Hughes, salama, the best price of the 3 was $7500 but it was not all inclusive. Miami knows what they are doing most definitely. Do you know where you are staying? How long? All the costs? Does yours include any extras? I was reading about Baez I think & she includes sooo many extras! But, it's the DO. Ugh. I'm still trying to pinpoint the best DR...gathering all the info!

Ok I just spoke with Tina who is the surgery coordinator. The 5400 special is all inclusive, nothing is charged separately. Surgeon fees, anesthesia, operating room, post op visits, compression garments, etc. Pretty good deal! The only thing I'm responsible for is travel and room/board. I haven't a clue about either one yet but I'll get that sorted out as my sx date nears.

Oh wow you are like 20 miles from me! Lol! I'm in a suburb of PDX & i work by the Rose Qtr. I totally know what you are saying about the Drs around here with BBL...including understanding the full shaping & tiny waist most of us desire... There are literally almost zero DRs here who have that expertise & the prices are very high. I'm so excited to follow your story!!

Awesome! I live in NE Portland at the moment. Well I wish we could get our procedures done around the same time, it would be cool to have someone close to me who's going through it! If your budget is 6 grand you should definitely check out some places in Miami. I'm betting that's the most affordable city to get a BBL.

*ugh*

Flat in the back. Stomach hangs from a C Section. My Dr needs to lipo the hell out ta my love handles and back. I wish I could just kinda squeeeeeeeeze the fat from my mid-section down to my booty. Would save me 6 grand lol. I'll post stats later when I do my measurements!

I don't want a big ol Pebbles or Black Chyna or Tahiry booty. Nome of my family or friends even know I'm doing this so I can't just show up with a ginormous booty out of the blue lol....it has to look realistic. The girl in the black g-string with the bun has my ideal booty. Heart shaped, rounded, nice crease underneath....flawless! I wish I could just kinda cut hers off and sew it onto mines. Creepy lol but man, she rocks. I also found other wish pics I liked. None are huge ba-donks, just nicely shaped and projected. And I NEED a small waist. I hope my Dr can do some super aggressive lipo on my midsection!
