Just ready to sit down already and go shopping. I didn't like the anesthesiologist he had working with him attitude, he was very arrogant and unpleasant. I now have nerve damage in both my hands since the surgery. I think he did something to me personally?? Dr.D did a good job overall, although I wanted more projection. But I experienced too many side affects

Hey Hun how are u feeling we almost at out month mark?
April 26, 2015
My stomach still has knots and is swollen near the bottom, but it went down pretty good, I lost about 65% of my butt since initial surgery. The people I told said it looks natural you can see a difference, others said it looks like you lost a little weight. My hands

I just watched Del Vecchio's video about bbl on his website. He is shown wearing scrubs and talking directly to the camera and AT THE SAME TIME PERFORMING LIPOSUCTION on someone. He's not looking at what he's doing AT ALL! Smacks of absolute arrogance and lack of genuine care for the patient. I would never use him after seeing that.

I've actually seen a ton of doctors do that. I think the doctors who do are just much more experienced, not necessarily neglectful. They've been around the block and maybe can tell a lot from what they're feeling and how they're using their hands, than just by looking. I can see how it seems arrogant also

SHEESH Idc how much experience they have thats careless behavior which none of us should be paying for. NO EXCUSE FOR THAT..jmho

Hi Hun. I just read your comment on when you said you've lost about 65%bsince initial surgery. I have my consult with Dr. Vecchio in a week now that I hear that I'm thinking twice about getting bbl done lol.
May 2, 2015
how did you come up with a number of 65% loss?
May 3, 2015
Omg. I apologize. I must off read someone else post. I'm sorry.
May 4, 2015
I lost way more than half the size, so I would say about 65%
May 2, 2015
Sorry to hear about your hands. Hope that when all your swelling goes away, there will be less pressure on the nerves.!

There's a secret to the bbl that drs don't like openly admitting. Here it is. Letting the cat out of the bag... You must be in good shape prior to a bbl, otherwise the results just look like a bigger version of the butt you already had. That's it. The secret. So, if girls are wondering why their butts don't look like jlo and kimk after spending over 6 grand, now you know the answer.

What I noticed is many women have several revisions done, or the also have implants.
May 13, 2015
Unfortunately, we are seeing all these wish pics that are the result of either implants or genetics, or a combination thereof, misattributed to the bbl after-results. These women in the advertising materials are shrink wrapped (tight awesome skin), with low body fat. As in every physical arena, genetics is king, however, so most go in with a highly unrealistic goal and are summarily enraged, saying the Dr didn't do the job. Drs seem loathe to tell potential clients that unless they have that meaomorphic somatotype (or some variation thereof) the bbl results will in no way resemble that celebrity or magazine model with far superior proportions going in. That should stop.

*mesomorphic
May 14, 2015
Yes, and Dr.D shows IMMEDIATE before and AFTER pictures.he has patience thinking that there body would look exactly like that, like he get the most dramatic results. I think that is why I am soo upset, because I was mislead.I could have went to DR or Florida and saved thousands of dollars.

Was it your 1st round hon?@sophisticated421- i ask because i know i went to dr jimerson in ATL for my 1st rd, a(known as the Big booty king), & around 6 m months mine disappeared too! I think more and more that unless you start off with a reasonably big butt (i did not), then you will need at least 2 rounds to get that result. I actually was told by my pc at the time that i may need a 2nd rd, but i was dead set on only doing it once..if i had took heed to what she said, i could have saved myself from the disappointment of my results-and been better prepared mentally to go through this again!:( but in either case, my 2nd rd is in August with dr D! Im expecting to be straight this time as this WILL BE my final round!

Thinking of getting a bbl with Dr Jon Harrell in Florida. Apparently is a good experienced certified surgeon. If anyone had a bbl with him please let me know about your results. Kinda nervous about it.
