Looking at DR. Shulman for Lipo N BBL (Consultation Mid March) - New York, NY

ORIGINAL POST

Hi All,
I been on browsing this site for some time now. There are days when I am completely all for getting lipo and BBL done, then of course there are other times when I am completely freaked out and change my mind. My husband Is completely opposed to me having any work done but I tell him all the time that I'm not happy with my body, he totally disagrees and tells me I'm crazy and that I'm sexy the way I am, of course he better say that lol. Then I have others telling me I'm too petite that surgery would be a waste of money to just hit the gym, squats squats. It's hard for me to find a consistent workout routine and besides I do believe squats tone but I'm not convinced they make the booty bigger (my opinion). I've read countless reviews on here and the before and after pictures are so amazing, I feel I'm closer to getting these procedures done, however I am still alittle scared. Oh I forgot to mention I'm 36 yrs old, 3 kids, and 1 beautiful grand daughter. I would love to chat with others who had work done by Dr Shulman or if there are other Recommended New York doctors....thank you ladies, I appreciate all of you.

Welcome to the community:)

thank you Kimmers25
You bet, so glad to have you here with us.
Congrats and good luck
Thank you :0)
Welcome to the BBL journey - emotional roller coaster ride from start to finish. I've scheduled w/Schulman and tracked so many of his dolls on here to ensure/feel comfortable he was the one who would deliver results I wanted. If you haven't come across Booty4real, 86baby, Increaseme, assatlast, elli890, lemi720, gotthacake and the list is long and growing by the day, stop by their pages. I've found at least 20 of Schulman's patients on this site. In their comments you can find more and more of his post op patients as well as ones to come. Best wishes on your journey!!
aww thank you so much. How did you like his results? do you recommend him? I have my consultation with him on the 28th.
I'm scheduled for April 3rd. But I feel confident after seeing so many post op ladies of his that I'll be happy. Based on my consult and the ladies on here that are his post op patients I would recommend him. I checked out his credentials (standing w/the American board of plastic surgery, the NYS state sight for licensed operating facilities, etc) and he is reputable. But I'll keep my page updated post op and will share my thoughts thereafter. I have my final pre-op on march 14th. And I plan to grill him some more. Lol. Get every question you can imagine ready for your consult with him and if you have some pics of what you'd like to see done with your body show him - he will be honest about what he can or cannot do and why. Trust you intuition and assess him with it. Pray on it (if you're spiritual/religious) and have faith that The Lord will lead you according to His will ;-)
U so awesome, I so appreciate you taking the time to share his info with me. I am excited but nervous at the same time. I have to start looking for wish pictures, I don't even know where to start cause a lot of the wish pics I seen on here are way to much for me lol. Please let me know what questions you asked cause I'm nervous I know I will forget important stuff lol. I'm going to start a journal. Thanks again sweetie u are the best. I pray you get the exact results you want. I pray for all the best during your surgery. Anxious to see your post op pics.
Sharing is caring. And we have to support each other. There are some disreputable doctors who have broken laws and are still practicing - we should not fall prey to their greed. I asked Schulman a lot of technical questions about how he actually performs the procedure. I had done research on what a BBL is so I didn't need him to explain that. I wanted to hear that his technique was consistent with what I found on the national library of medicine website. That site was very useful in educating myself. I'll PM you my list of questions - I have them saved on my mom's computer (I think that I kept the original questions). As for pictures - I stalked a lot of RS ladies pages and just picked stuff I liked, whether I believed it was for me or not. I also looked at celebrities bodies (b/c a lot of them do plastic surgery). I took all the pics I liked most and showed them to Dr. S. The pics I have on my page now are pretty much my final wishes. And Dr. S is so patient that he let me go in hard. I think I might have made him a bit nervous too. Lol. But he was a trooper and kept it real with me even if it was uncomfortable for him. My thing is that I'm paying for a procedure that's elective, not mandatory. So I want the best for my monies worth. I feel no shame in digging to get that. Thank you for the well wishes. I've been praying that I get what will look best on me and make me happy. I feel very confident in my choice of surgeon. And the rest I have to leave to faith. I get scared about the future b/c I don't know what will happen. But then I remind myself that I've done my part to ensure the best outcome and to trust in God that I'm being lead according to His will. I'm anxious to see my results too. Lol.
AWWW yes sharing is caring, especially when it comes to this. It feels good to communicate with people that are on the same page. We learn and lean off eachother for support. I done changed my mind so many times but I always come right back to RS lol. My sister had her bbl done 2 yrs ago n to be honest you can't even tell. I'm like damm 8 grand for what lol I'm with you I know I won't come out looking like Kim k but if I'm spending so much money I wanna look in the mirror and say oooooo k k k lol my husband is against this but I said well there is the door this is my body my life my happiness. I'm looking forward to meeting with DR S... Nervous but anxious. You have helped me..I feel better already. I agree with you we have to have faith that we will be okay n get what we pay for...
Aww hun, sorry hubby isn't on board. I'm sure he'll change his mind when that fatty is bouncing in his face ;-). Glad you're feeling better. And definitely want you to have better/long lasting results - not to have the outcome your sis did. Maybe you'll inspire her to get a revision w/Dr. S :-). We only live once, we should make the best of it!
Hello there, I am interested in getting the bbl too and have been on this site alot reading comments. If you dont mind me asking who did your sisters BBL? you can private message me if you would like. I am afraid if that will happen to me too! Thanks so much!
today i have my consultation, i dont even know why i am nervous. I don't even have wish pictures, do i need them? i mean i dont want to look like anyone else, i want to just become a better me, does that sound weird?
An official RS congrats on taking your next step!! Looks like your "foundation" is a good one for the sculptor aka Dr. Schulman to make another masterpiece of his. Go get some wish pics....no harm in exchanging visual ideas w/the good doc. Best wishes my dear!!
I hear hes really good! Post pics when you donit and best of luck i am in newyork too and thinking of doing it in miami....Dr S isnt in my price range.
