Hello RS! I have been researching BBL surgery for...
WORTH IT$5,500
Hello RS!
I have been researching BBL surgery for the last few months, and I've decided to just go for it.
I mean, after 3 natural births with no meds, I think I can take whatever pain/discomfort that comes with FINALLY having junk in the trunk! Originally, I was going to try Coolsculpting to get at least a better shape, but after looking into it, I was going to end up paying almost as much as a BBL. With no butt...
I'm from Miami, so it was the obvious choice, but my husband asked me to stay in NYC so he can be here for me if I need him. So... my method of locating a surgeon here was to go to as many consultations as possible. After my third consultation though, I decided I didn't need to go any further! I found Dr. Taranow through RS. Not so much because of his photos, but by how often he replied to questions here. It says a lot for a Dr. If they take the time to read our (sometimes crazy) questions and concerns.
Once I met him in person, I was totally at ease. We were laughing and talking about our hobbies and my insecurities flew out the window. I put down a deposit then and there!
My Sx is scheduled for Aug.16. Preop is tomorrow, hope all goes well!!

WBC was high, retaking labs today.
Ugh. My primary care physician didn't send lab results to surgeon until this morning (after my pre op!) and the doctor asked me to retake the CBC bc my white blood cell count was 12.6, which is only slightly elevated according to reg doc.
So I'm going in now to retake it and pray I get cleared for Friday!!!

Ready to go!
Labs came back normal! Sx scheduled for 7am tomorrow morning. I got a ton of work done today because I expect to be out of commission for a couple of weeks.
Ashley from Dr. T's office called me on her way home and gave me the run down on anything and everything that I needed to know for the morning. Anti nausea pills one hour before Sx, no food or water after midnight, wear something loose and comfy.
Because my BBL is "modest", the doc said the surgery shouldn't take more than a couple of hours... He's taking fat from my back, flanks and bra line only. Does that sound normal?
Well, wish me luck! I'll post after pics as soon as possible.

Thanks for starting a review and for explaining how you chose your doctor, I'm glad you found the Q&A helpful and narrowed in on a doctor based on responses! Good luck today! We can't wait to hear how it went/goes.
Ah! Well in that case, good luck Friday :)
