Thought I'd start a blog on here! I had my consultation with Dr Schulman today for a BBL. I'm 5'4.5 and 150lbs. Dr Schulman was so nice! He took a ton of time to explain everything to me and answer my questions; I never felt rushed. My surgery is booked for May 16th (once I send the deposit) and I'm so nervous... I'm relying on RealSelf for advice and support as I can't tell many people at all about my surgery as they would be unsupportive.

Dr S said that I'd be a great candidate for a BBL as I'm so young and my skin is in such great condition. I also have a quite defined waist naturally, even though I have a ton of fat in my flanks. So altogether he's doing upper and lower back, flanks, inner thighs, abdomen and arms.

Could anyone recommend any resources for learning about post-lipo compression? I'm trying to educate myself by can't find any comprehensive guides out there.

Congratulations on your decision. Always remember that not everyone will agree with the choices you make in life, but if you want this I say go for it and be happy. Just do your research well and check on YouTube I'm sure you'll find all the answer you are searching for... I'm a stalker here on realself, hopefully I'll be doing mine next year... good luck... and again we are here to support you always...

There is some general info in our BBL guides, but I'm not sure what you want to know about compression?  Just how it works?

I showed Dr S these before-and-afters and he said this should be achievable for me!

They did and awesome job!! I looking for a Dr but it's so many to choose from!?? How did you choose.. Was it word of mouth or just going through them all doing research?

Thank you babe! I looked at a bunch of different doctors - the before and after pictures were really helpful, as was reading reviews on this site. Dr Schulman stood out to me because his before and after pictures showed the results of 1+ years post op, and weren't just pics from the operating table. I also looked at Dr Del Vecchio, but scheduling didn't work out, and Dr Sej, but he's in LA. They all have instagrams, which were helpful!

Just paid my deposit to schedule my surgery for May 16th! Just curious - did any of you RS dolls hire private care to take you home from hospital/stay with you for the first few hours? Not sure whether to ask my friends or hire somebody. Please help! xoxo

Hii I loved dr. Shulman he's so nice but super expensive...are you paying with a loan if you don't mind me asking...or is his practice letting you pay them back in monthly payments..

Ohh okay wish I could afford him lol

Yeah it's expensive, but I reasoned that I would rather pay more now and get it done well, than pay much less now and have to get a revision or put myself at risk
