Well today is the big day. Finally getting liposuction to my abdomen, full back, and upper booty.
Everything with the consult and pre op was smooth sailing. They even allowed previous patients who got the same procedure to call me so that I could hear about their experiences. They all had nothing but good things to say.

Good Dr + Good Credentials = Great Results (Lipo to full abdomen, full back, and upper butt) 5'5" 207lbs
Pre Surgery
I went in for a free consultation and everything went well. Prior to going to this office I went to 3 other PS (MK, NB, and HA) in the DMV area and something just wasn't right about them. They all basically told me that I need a TT, I assume this was the easiest way for them to give me the hourglass shape that I was looking for. When I went to see Dr C he seemed very confident in his work. He didn't pressure me to get a TT, he knew right off the back that he could give me the results I wanted. It took me a few weeks to commit to the surgery because I kept trying to compare his work to what I saw in DR and Miami.
Surgery Day
My Surgery was scheduled for 4p. They tend to take the non risky surgery's later in the day. I got there at 4 and wants taken back until 6p. I was very unhappy about this. While waiting in the waiting room, they have snacks, tea, coffee, water. Too bad I couldn't eat anything because I was having anesthesia. They also have comfy chairs and cable, so the wait wasn't as bad as it seemed. So eventually, I went into surgery and thats all she wrote. lol! So after the procedure I assume everything went well. I was in and out until I got home. As soon as I got home, my husband gave me medicine and something to drink and I went to sleep.
Week 1

That's awesome! I can't wait to see photos. What exactly did he do to your upper booty? I have a consultation in about a week with him for lipo/bbl
February 21, 2016
He basically just rounded it off. Here are some before pics. Sorry about them being a little blurry.

Wow, sounds like you had enough fat for some nice sculpting!
....Its very difficult and frustrating to see the results from Miami PS and in the DO....then see what the local PS in the DMV look like. Did you consuLT with Dr. Hakki in Waldorf?
Happy Healing and can't wait to see pics!

Yes. He drew and amazing image of me but it was with a TT. I only have one child and I don't feel like my stomach was big enough for a TT. I would have looked nice from the rear and a mess from the front. Lol b

February 21, 2016
So wait he draws photos of you at your consultation? So dope! I can't wait until my consultation. Did you feel like he rushed you?
February 21, 2016
Yes. The drawing is another dr that I got a consult with. Dr C is the dr who did my lipo.
February 21, 2016
I didn't feel rushed with Dr C. He was really informative at my consult. He physically examined my body to check for muscle firmness skin elasticity and everything. He didn't make his decision off of just looking at me.

February 21, 2016
I didn't feel rushed with Dr. C, but I didn't feel that I received an informative session. He checked for firmness as Jazzy said, but I didn't get info like this is how I do this, you'll feel that, your butt will look like this, etc. You know about the procedures themselves, but i feel thats partially my fault. I think that when he cane in i sensed he was short on time and didn't get that from Dr.Hakki in Waldorf at all. So, I was expecting for my experience with Dr. C to be the same. But, that doesn't reflect on the results at all, I just don't feel I had a complete understanding of what to expect. For instance, my navel appears deformed, and like there 2 in the hole instead of 1, lol...I wasn't explained and it hadn't been addressed naturally by him about the evolution of how the navel will look, etc. I feel like I have a shelf butt, like a little hump, I know there's swelling, but will all this eventually smooth out and spreaf to more of a S curve...you know stuff like that, maybe it's too early to ask, I am not sure. His post-op instructions said you can sit on your butt after 14 days, it didn't say anything else in the book, however, on RS site and other PS said no sitting for 3-4 weeks. So, stuff like that is why I have questions. It could be that he just hadn't got around to telling me yet because it's still early. Did he tell you anything specific details about your butt?

February 21, 2016
No. Not really. They told me not to use a compression garment in it. I didn't get fat added tho. I do know that when he does the BBL he uses only your actual graft able fat which may be why your butt doesn't look miamish. The docs in Miami inject fat, tumescent fluid, and whatever else they sucked out in that same session. That's what makes there booties look so big right away. If you look at them weeks later they all want more butt added because the no graft able part of what was injected was absorbed by the body. I think your butt will look nice once the welling goes down and everything settles in place.
February 21, 2016
I agree w/ Jazzy I think you'll have that S shape and you'll smooth out once the swelling goes down.
February 21, 2016
Oh ok, I see Dr Hakki in March the same day I see Dr C ... those are the only 2 I have consultations with. I wanted to see Dr Markmann but he's ridiculously expensive and I'm no longer interested in going to Miami now knowing a lot of the doctors aren't board certified and a lot of them just took a 6wk course to be able to perform BBL's.
February 21, 2016
I won't why they said no compression garment. Are you wearing an abdominal board or anything keeping your stomach tight?
February 21, 2016
I have an abdominal thing but it's so tight it causes everything below it including my but to swell and it hurts. I went and bought a spanx yesterday because I just don't feel right without one. It's a really weird feeling.
February 21, 2016
I see Dr James Benjamin in Bowie does okay BBL and Dr Hakki looks good online

February 21, 2016
Thanks, lol....it's like I knew it already before surgery and ans sharing the same info with others....but just can't help the way I feel. Lol, crazy right.
February 22, 2016
Yeah. But ur booty definitely looks different. So don't worry. We have a better view of it than u. Lol


February 22, 2016
Yes, I heard that Dr. Benjamin was good too by one of his previous patients.

February 22, 2016
Lol, I was talking on the phone to another RS'r whose surgery is this Friday, not local, and she said the same thing. Because I considered myself "so prepared" I am actually surprised at the words that were coming out out of my mouth, SMH.
