Hi, ladies. I have been doing a TON of research and looking on the site about my procedure. I had lipo and an attempted fat transfer about 5 years ago. I went to a Dr in WPB and they did my lipo awake. Two friends went there and did theirs and I asked how it went and they told me it wasn't bad. They felt the tumescent fluid going in and burning but nothing too bad. Well when it was my turn and they gave me the pill to calm me and make me sleepy I guess, it did not work. Needless to say I felt the whole procedure, the scraping and everything. I was fighting with the Dr and they were telling me that it was too late to stop and that I couldn't grab their hands. Crazy..... they tried to give me more numbing fluid but nothing. Finally, when it was time to do the transfer they did one injection each butt and that was all I could take. Anyway, the results were nice, I'll try to post pics of the first go around. I will say the faja was really tight and I couldn't keep it on but because I didn't research and understand the importance of a faja I didn't purchase another one I just put on a panty that came up to my waist and did massages. Well, in doing that I ended up with an indentation, small one, and an uneven lump right bellow it. Nothing crazy or visible but it's uneven and hard. So, it is important to keep the faja on ladies and watch out for markings that faja can make. Fast Forward 5 yrs later and now I want a booty. I attempted to go to spectrum with Dr. Chang but it didnt't end up working out. They have reasonable prices and he is nice but I kept hitting snags with trying to book. Now my appointment is with Dr. Constantino Mendieta at Mia Aesthetics. I am soooo lucky because I didn't know he was working out of that office on Sundays but I ended up picking him as he is an expert with the booty. His reputation is awesome. I am sooo excited to have my surgery this Sunday and it was 123, no hiccups.

Thank you for your post was really helpful as I’m also considering Dr. Mendieta for my bbl surgery. May I ask how much cc’s you put in each side and hips?

I can't tell you because they didn't tell me after what they did. I see him this sun I can ask. I showed him a pic, I said subtle and heart shaped and not too big. He actually wrote on my butt cheek not too big and he gave me what I asked for. Hips are tricky because there is not a lot of muscle to sustain the fat like a butt is so it may or may not stay. My right hip went down a tad and the left is still good, I can tell by looking but it a minor dip.

Hi, well I had my surgery with Mandietta and I have to say it was amazing. I was fine getting put of surgery, I was moving getting put of bed myself, not alot of pain. Stomach sleeping is the absolute worse part of my recovery. It sucks, it hurts, back hurts, face hurts, neck hurts, it's worst. I took pain pills just to sleep and it didn't really do much. My surgery was Sunday, I went to work Thurs half day because I got tired and Friday, half day. I'm recovering quick and well hardly no bruising, doing massages, which hurt like he'll by the way. I have to get me a hippy pillow because laying down everywhere sucks. I'll try to post pics but don't know how yet.

I was not nervous until I went into the operating room, the night before I didn't sleep much. Don't remember the person who put me under but my surgery was not at Medieta office it was at Mia Aesthics even though he did the surgery on a Sunday. He was cool and funny he put the IV in and I was mad nervous at that because it went in my hand and I've had bad experiences. Once I woke up he was by my side and I was very alert and he was surprised. I asked do I look good and he said yes. He gave me exactly what I asked for. He's good

Hi we’re your massages suggested by the dr or was it your idea to get them?
User Avatar
June 6, 2018
Well, some Dr's say not but yes they recommended the massages. I have two hard spots on the sides of my stomach and I get massages and high frequency so break that down.

Wait Im confused. Mendieta did your surgery but not in his office? You know the building he owns on US1? Can you please be so kind to help me understand. He does surgeries at Mia aesthics. Where is that? How happy you are with your results from 1 to 10. Ten being the best. I need to make a decision ASAP.

Yes, because he works out of Mia Aesthetics, 10454 nw 31st st, on Sundays is his time. You can call and ask for him. He has his own office 4Beauty on US 1 yes. I am happy with my results but on my right side my fat dissolved a little which is typical because its a hip and fat doesn't always stay. And I could've gone bigger with my butt well sometimes I feel that way other times I'm satisfied. Yes he is good and will give you exactly what you ask for. So I am at a 8 out of ten because of that not because of him. I asked for him not to do it tool big anyway so.
