How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I have been planning to get some sort of buttock...
I have been planning to get some sort of buttock augmentation for several years now. But life as it is always found a way to stop me. This time I was determined to finally do this for ME!!!
My initial consultation was on 2/1/16. And Yes, it did take me a few tries to reach the office before I was able to schedule my appointment. The consultation went smoothly. Dr. D was very forward and straight to the point. He did not butter me up and was very realistic with the expected outcomes. He did however tell me that he would get me very good results (based on my wishes and areas of concern).
It took a couple of weeks to actually book the surgery date. He is a very busy and highly coveted surgeon. My pre-op was on 3/21/16. At that time Dr. D took all the pics (naked). I made sure to let him know that I was not looking for subtle results and that I want him to place fat in the buttocks and my hips. He assured me that he would suck everything out. Lol
I had my long awaited BBL with Dr. Del Vecchioon 4/18/16. 2500 cc's of fat was injected into each buttock/hip. I was secretly hoping for more but I'm still satisfied with the amount I received.
My surgery was 9 days ago. I am now aware that finding a good surgeon, purchasing supplies, taking time off of work is the easy part. The recovery is the Hardest part. The support network for after the surgery is very important and the work you have to put in after the surgery to obtain and maintain the desired results. I will post a few entries to potentially help anyone who is planning on getting the BBL and get any advice from the BBL vets who did everything right following the surgery and are now able to live their lives to the fullest without worrying about destroying their new assets :).
I will post pics in a couple of days.

10 days post op
Just wanted to document my progress. I am feeling better and more mobile. Still unable to put on clothes by myself as I'm not able to bend my back or my knees much (both legs are still pretty swollen).
I am still sore and stiff. Placing a heating pad on my legs seems to help loosen up the muscles and makes moving around easier.
I am wearing my full length compression garment from Leonisa along with compression stockings 24/7 (take it off only to take a shower).
My bruising is much less tender to touch and is starting to fade (I'm bruised from upper chest to calves).
Last night was the first time I woke up only once to use the bathroom. On day 2 I woke up every hour on the hour. Days 3-7 I woke up 3 time each night. Days 8-9 woke up twice each night.
I can now say that after day 7 things really do get better. I'm not out of the woods yet, but definitely feel like I'm on my way.
I will post a list of items that I purchased and used for this journey.
