BBL W/fat Transfer to Hips and Buttocks. (Requesting Aggressive Lipo) - Miami, FL

To give me some time to accumulate money to pay...

DeterminedToReconstructJanuary 25, 2015

$9,499

To give me some time to accumulate money to pay for this reconstruction and lose weight, I wanted to do the surgery in November 2015. With PTO's and Holidays for the month of November, I should have a full month to recover before I go back to work. In reference to weightloss, I wanted to go down to 165lbs before surgery. Based on my pics below, do you think that's too much or too little to lose for what I am trying to aim for? Keep in mind that I am 5'7, 212lbs, bust 44, waist 38 in a half, hips 46. Oh yea...let me know if my wish pic is ideal or not (realistically speaking)?

Okay.

January 26, 2015

Mine is November 2015 also!

January 26, 2015

Is Nov 15 the date that u all have chosen or is this the earliet that she could get you in??

DeterminedToReconstruct

January 26, 2015

Thats great!

January 26, 2015

I have even chose my doctor yet, but I'm planning to get it in November. How about you?

January 26, 2015

I mean, "haven't" chose my doctor yet....

January 26, 2015

I'm 5'7 and 198 right now. I plan to get down to 185 by February 24. When you do your consultation ask your coordinator for weight advice. You don't want to lose too much and they end up telling you to gain some back because you don't have enough fat to transfer. Good luck on your journey!

So whats your ideal weight? Mines is 155-160 lbs. I was looking at other profiles and 165 maybe too drastic. So I'll probably go down to 185-180 just so I could have enough fat for an aggressive liposuction.

January 26, 2015

At first my ideal weight was 165 but I haven't been that size since I had my second child. Now I have 4 children and I'm having a hard time getting the weight off. I've been up and down between 185-205 during the last year. I will be happy to at least get to 175 eventually.

DeterminedToReconstruct

January 26, 2015

That's still a good size. In reference to lipo, what are you getting done?

January 27, 2015

My full stomach, my lower back (she doesn't think I need my upper back done but I'll see what hasan thinks when I get there), my waist, and I'm thinking about adding my arms.

DeterminedToReconstruct

January 27, 2015

Oh ok cool...yea I'm still figuring out other areas I want done as well. Depending on cost I might add the thigh gap.

January 27, 2015

I believe they charge $500 for extra areas that aren't included in the bbl.

DeterminedToReconstruct

January 27, 2015

Yea I know...my thighs is really not an issue. I so want to get rid of armpit/bra fat

January 26, 2015

DeterminedToReconstruct

January 26, 2015

Hey @bellrotica...what do you need help on?

January 26, 2015

On how to contact her. And Im wondering about pricing?? Do you have to fly over for the consult?

DeterminedToReconstruct

January 26, 2015

Pricing starts from 8299 now ...call office number for info. I live in Miami, FL and not too far from his office so it works out for me where I can get a face to face consultation.

January 26, 2015

January 26, 2015

DeterminedToReconstruct

January 26, 2015

I want to get mines done early November because of work purposes. Plus, I wanted to have enough time to have all the money to pay off the procedure (in cash). And also I should have met m pre op weight and have everything set up and ready.

January 26, 2015

I chose that date but I do believe you can get in way sooner

Growing up, I always had an issue with my mid section. It's severity worsens as I get older. I am very good at disguising my body image without using any girdles, but it gets very frustrating when I have to constantly come up with ideas to make my bad body look decent to the public eye. I workout, but it seems as though my mid section is the comfort zone for fat to live in. I am tired of hearing negative remarks about my body image from friends and family, so I've decided to proceed with this procedure. I've done research and decided to be reconstructed by Dr. M. Salama. I'll be setting up an appointment very soon to review my expectations. This journey will be very tough for me since I will be going through it alone. I'll attached pictures below, Please advise if what I'm looking to get is realistic.

January 26, 2015

It's perfect. Except your tummy looks smaller and butt a little bigger, so your results should definitely be comparable to hers! Great choice... :-)
