Hello Ladies. I am a mother of 4 boys all...

Hello Ladies. I am a mother of 4 boys all delivered via c-section. I have been researching BBL and TT for over 4 years now. I have been a member of realself and before makemeheal.com was the popular thing. I was scheduled 2 years ago with Dr. Pantoja in Mexico but I had so much going on the week I was scheduled to leave so I took it as a sign and canceled. All of my forum vets know what I mean when I say this but the Drs and places to have surgery are all based of who is going to who and word of mouth. Its def a wave or Fad. The it Dr has changed over the years. I have had my last child 4 months ago and got my tibes tied so I am ready! I have been back on the forums hard since my baby was born. I have decided to stay in the states. I was sold on Dr. SALZ for my mommy makeover of TT,BBL and possible breast lift. I called to make my deposit last week because the prices were to change on the 2nd or 3rd only to be told hes booked out until oct 2016 which is completely out of the question for me since I waited so long. I am ready to be a sexy MILF and get my groove back! My husband is 100% supportive and is paying for me to get this body together. I have become a surgery pro with hundreds of hrs of research under my belt I almost feel like i could do it myself lol. I am looking to have SX in Nov/Dec. I have been going back and forth from a few drs including Ortega, Salama, Hasan, Fisher, and Omulepu. I have been reading about all of these infections going on so I scratched Dr. O but I cant figure out if he is currently at Vanity or Spectrum. I wanted Spectum since vanity has such bad reviews but I refuse to go anywhere handing out staph infections.(praying for you ladies) someone help!!!! I am currently trying to loose this baby weight. I am a thicker build woman and I am ok with that I just want a flat stomach and back with a nice booty (not outrageous) I will post some before pics. Im currently 220lbs 5'6". I am looking to get down to 190 by sx. I have lost 20lbs in the last mo. Ladies any opinions are welcome. I am trying to be booked by next weekend. Please Help!!! All feedback is welcome

He's at both facilities but Spectrum is your best bet. We are the same height. He's gonna want you at 210lbs. I found out the hard way. I was 232 when I went.

Congratulations and good luck on your journey. I'm scheduled for BBL on December 8, with Dr. Fisher at Vanity. I've read so many bad reviews about Vanity but so far my experience with them has been really good. I reached out to Dr. Mel Ortega's office last week. Thinking about going to him for breast lift with implants. Trying to see if maybe I can get that done in September or early October. Want to have my new body and be healed by next summer :)

Good luck on ur journey!! I just did my bbl with fisher in feb. and I love my results. I however did not have any issues with vanity. I will now be going with ortega for my mommy makeover not set on a date yet but I have put my deposit down. I like you have done lots of research and I'm sure you will make a great decision on dr. especially since you have done alot of research. Good luck doll

First off congrats on the baby children are such a blessing I have 1 he's 2yrs old and my body just didn't bounce back completely after him I'm 5'3 150ibs I have a really nice shape but this mid section won't go away so why not use the fat and make it useful lmbo I have been researching doctors for the past 4yrs and I too had my search narrowed down too pretty much what u have dr salz is hands down the best in the states if you ask me but like u I didn't want too wait that long I then went with dr Ortega at spectrum I spoke with him in person and his entire personality was great he is so humble and honest I loved that I booked my dYe and made my depoit but I chickened out with him Because I just couldn't find enough patients with bbls by him too se what there rests were. I the. Started looking into vanity with fisher loved his results however there staff is a piece of work I was willing to overlook that just too get the results I wanted because o know fisher delivers well after being lied too and stollen from by vanity I refunded. My money And was ready too book with spectrum again I'm in the process of talking with dr O I saw the cases about the infections so it made me kinda iffy but my opinion and experiaxe is vanity is not worth the money I'm not bad mouthing the Drs by any means however they are untruthful and the Custer service is horible if you have the money to go else where I would that's my plan my surgery was supposed too be next week but I canceled it I couldn't deal with there unprofessionalism

I need a long thigh lift really bad since that's where I carry all of my extra weight. But that's not going to happen until I lose 20 lbs since, for the very best results being at the lowest possible weight will help the outcome look the very best... It's hard because I really hate the way things are now, but after having had so many surgeries so far, I know this is a must...not just for a great outcome, but mostly for a good healing....I would have to say try your best to be at your best weight possible for the added benefits it will bring, good luck to you!!!

Spectrum is out

RdyalrdyPAJune 10, 2015
I know someone told me before but I'm sad because I just spoke to someone from over at spectrum and they let me know that they do not combined TT and bbl so back to square one...anyone have a tummy tuck and bbl at the same time that would recommend their doc??

I read a review where a doll got it done somewhere in florida but it was back in like 2012. Type it in the realself search bar bbl and tt combo bc I cant remember the doc but I think nowadays they are strict with that. Google surgeons in New York and Philly bc ive seen a couple of people on here that has done it I just can't remember names off the top of my head. But good luck hope u find one sweet heart.
