BBL in MN?? May Go to FL - Minneapolis, MN

UPDATED FROM GoofyFoot

Dr.Tholen Consult

GoofyFootJanuary 21, 2015
Dr.Tholen said nothing to me about skin elasticity problems and I trust him 100% because I've seen his reviews. He would do lipo to my love handles and lower back and inner thighs. His price was roughly $8,350. He said he would not lipo my abdomen due to me still having stretch marks and fears of the skin not looking right. So I'm thinking I will go with Kovanda. He does the most BBLs in MN and his willingness to lipo more is important to me. And I explained to Kovanda that I am very interested in the FL doctors ways. So hopefully at the end of this year I will schedule surgery for early 2016 :)

OoOoO I'm on the same path! I wanted everything done at the SAME TIME that means a mini TT plus gyno excision plus a BBL but all the surgeons said that was not practical since you cant lay on your back for a BBL and can't lay on your stomach for TT. I just had a mini tummy tuck and gyno excision (yes I am a guy who wants a BBL sue me :P) but when I went in for my consult for the BBL they wanted me to actually GAIN 30-40LBS of fat for the transfer...I LOL my way out of the office....during my mini and gyno excision they already removed fat from my chest, abdominal, hips and flanks to contour the area...last thing I want is to GAIN the weight back *sigh* good luck! I'm planning on the new year also or the end of this year at least (P.S try to go in during the winter months it's slower and they'll usually give you a lighter quote since they are slower for business...of course the word is *usually* lol)

Did you go with Dr.Kovanda? Im really looking into getting a consult with him..I too was thinking about going to Miami, but I cannot imagine being so far away from home for so long after surgery.

I didn't have the surgery. I want it but I started a new job this year and I need to build up my PTO. I also need to have more support from my fiance. I did love my consult with him. He has worked on women who have had tummy tucks first and then did the BBL. Also he responded to my emails quickly and answered any questions I had. His prices are the best based on the 3 doctors I did see. His overall demeanor was also better than the other doctors. If you stay in MN I suggest Kovanda. He has some reviews on here so you can take a look and see. If I was ever to travel outside of MN it would be to FL with Dr. Fisher but that will never happen as I just could not leave my kids for that long for a cosmetic surgery. Maybe they could all come with LOL!!! Anyways have a consult with Kovanda and if you get a good vibe from him go with him. The issue with people here in MN is that most do not want a dramatic change just an overall better shape but I'm sure if you showed pics from another doctors website like Fisher's, Kovanda could tell you if he felt it was realistic for your body.

Great! thanks for the feedback :) I have looked at many doc in the MN area and have noticed also that the work done wasnt significantly different from what the patient looked like in the beginning..NOT COOL if im paying 5-8 thousand dollar I wnt to get my money's worth! But I've seen his before and after pics and I was SOLD! I have not run across one bad review as of yet...I've done some deep background search on him and have ran across nothing related to his work...although I did run across some info were he was accused of inappropriate behavior( " In January 2008, the Board received a complaint alleging that Respondent
engaged in inappropriate sexual conduct, including suggestive language and suggestive touching,)............Ummm yea! so I dont know how I feel about that!

I live in mn and I had a bbl with dr Korvanda. Im going for round 2 with dr bbl. Im not saying that dr Korvanda isn't good but I wasn't satisfied with my results at all. I paid 10,000 and still look the same. I just think that dr Korvanda specializes in conservative booties. I wanted projection. Not a Nicki Manaj but a nice projected booty. Before you schedule your bbl, you should check out dr balgobin aka dr bbl in Burnsville Mn.

Dr.Thao Consult

GoofyFootJanuary 20, 2015
So Thao stated that I do not have enough fat...so I'm confused!! One doctor is saying I have enough and another is stating I don't. Makes no sense. Thao is worried about my skin because I've lost a lot of weight he thinks my skin won't bounce back from lipo on the sides of my flanks. Hmmmmm...not sure that makes total sense to me because I've seen patients om here who have lost a lot of weight or are even older women whose skin is less elastic and they have wonderful results. Oh well!! I have one more consult with a doctor on Wednesday, and I want to see what he has to say. I'm almost feeling like I should go to FL or the DR but that's just not something I see my fiance supporting.

Honestly, how much fat you need seems to depend on the doctor! Doctors who have a lot of experience with liposuction/BBL seem to be very good at getting the fat they need even on slim patients!

Yeah after being in this site for so long and seeing so many different women have a BBL, it's hard for me to believe that I don't qualify. But it's okay, I will see what Dr.Tholen tells me tomorrow, and then I will decide between Kovanda and Tholen. Even if i gain weight i still have the same amount of fat cells, they are just filled up more. So suck as much as you can out from everywhere you can and put as much as you can in reshaping my butt. Then i can enjoy one too many chocolate shakes and get those fat cells filled up hahahahaha!!

Dr.Kovanda Consult

GoofyFootJanuary 19, 2015
I just finished my consult with Dr.Kovanda. He's very relaxed, confident, and seems to understand what I want. His quote with arm lipo included is $8800 total. Without lipo to my arms it would be $7900. He would lipo my full abdomen, flanks, and back plus arms if I choose that option. He's thinking anywhere from 750cc's to 1000cc's per cheek. He would also include lipo to thighs as well, the inner thighs is what I would like. He thinks he could get 3-4 liters of fat out of me. I will see Dr.Thao later today so I will let you know how that goes.
