Hi Lily, you look good in your pictures I can see how afifi fixed the indentation you had before bbl on your hips. Are you not happy with the results? I'm thinking of going with afifi too but came across your post bbl not worth it and am curious.

i was dead set on jimmerson but something is telling me to put my body in her hands. i called yesterday and spoke with a nice lady who told me wayne handles dr afifis patients so she took down my info and told me he would give me a call. he called me back and sounded very rushed and made me feel rushed! he told me to send photos and they would get back to me. he wasnt exactly rude but he didnt exactly make me feel warm. anywho today i kept checking my email being impatient to see if they had reviewed my email andsent me a quote. no reply yet so i contacted the other office and spoke with tammy! she was sooo sweet and helpful she stayed on the phone as i forwarded her the email and she reviewed the photos while i was on thephone. shes awesome. shequoted me 6500 for 3 areas of lipo and said they would giveme a call back when dr afifi actually reviews them herself. thanksto tammy im feelin good ab going with this doctor she was very imformative

I spoke with dr.afifi herself last week. She also reviewed my photos as i was on the phone. I'm 5'6.5 130lbs. So one of my questions were if I should gain weight. She told me her honest opinion which was gaining weight just for the surgery isn't her recommendation but she isn't dead set against it either. So I'm not actually going to try to gain weight but I'm gonna try not to lose any either. I carry all my weight in my stomach and bra rolls and I'm not going for a huge butt because I kno I'm too small and it's also not what I want. I'd just like my hips and burt to b fuller. And have feminine curves. She said she could lipo my inner thighs as well so I can have more fat. I'm not positive because I haven't spoke back to tammy but I believe that would be an additional 500 taking the quote of 6500 to 7000 I'm still debating on doing it but I think i will. I'd like to transfer as much fat as possible and i wouldn't want to regret not getting it done over 500 dollars (just my opinion). Dr.afifi sounded very friendly and honest. I felt as if she gave me honest answers and was looking out for my best interest

Hello, I am going to doctor Afifi as well and I sent tammy front, back, and both sides. This way she is see your whole body. She gives you an estimate, then sends them to the doctor to ok the quote. Good Luck.

O wow..I'm hoping for Dec also just hope she still has openings..ill be calling Mon am for sure!

i cant do it in december because their schedule is very inconveinet(for out of town patients). afifi is only in the office wednesdays and fridays. this doesnt sound bad but depending on the day you go into the office for your preop you also have to keep in mind to give time for your blood work to come back. so if you were to do preop on a wed that following friday u couldnt get surgery because that isnt enough time to get your bloodwork results, well atleast that is what i was told. so basically from pre op to surgery if you are an out of town patient you almost have to stay a whole week in between. UNLESS you fly in for your preop fly back and then fly back for surgery :/ thats just alot of flying for me and possibly more exspensive than just staying there. so once i got that info i cant afford that in dec.now im aiming for january so i can pay for a 2 week hotel stay due to the fact i would like to stay in town until my 1 week postop after surgey (i dont kno for sure if this is a requirement but i kno that im going to stay 1 week after)

Tammy has a code to give the company that does blood work, that makes them rush it giving it to you that day. I am getting my blood work from an outside lab company cus I wont have all of my money 2 weeks prior which was suppose to be my pre op, so instead my pre op is a week before surgery and my blood work will be emailed directly to them.
November 25, 2012
She never mentioned the code/rush thing to me. But next time I speak with her I will definitely ask her about it! That would be so much more convenient
