WORTH IT$5,750

I'm a 31 year old Black female. I have 1 child. I weigh 145lbs and im 5'5. I think I'm decent figure wise but I've never had a nice, round, "Black girl booty." Growing up in MIA, a Black girl with a "White girl booty" can b damaging to one's physic. So, now, at 31, im FINALLY able to do something about it. I'm getting my BBL Dec. 10. I'm going with Pascual MD in Miami,FL. I have read mixed reviews; some love them and some hate them. This makes me VERY nervous. They have a special at the moment; $5000 for upper n lower back n abs lipo with the butt augmentation. Then they tag on $750 for anesthesia. My consultant has been nice so far. She has always returned my calls and emails. I currently live 8hrs away so we have had to do the consult via email n phone. She is a fast talker which makes me cautious because usually fast talking sales people are hiding things. The jury is still out - we will c. I'll update as the process continues. :)

Welcome to RealSelf and thank you for starting your story. Don't be afraid to go on a few different consultations to find the best approach for you. A nice price is good, but it shouldn't be the only criteria you use to make your decision. Let us know how it all goes!

Welcome. Just make sure you research research research and make sure they are board certified, with no malpractice cases. It takes awhile but you will find the doc for you. I have been on a doctor roller coaster but I am so satisfied now and just ready.

Welcome! Good luck with your venture and make sure you feel comortable with the surgeon you choose. Don't hesitate to go to many consults if that is what it takes to feel secure about your surgeon decision. It's your body & alot of money, you deserve to have the best!! I personally have been to four different consults and have one this Monday with Azurin. I think I may choose Azurin if all goes well monday!

I can’t wait until December comes. I’ve already received my proscriptions; pain med, iron pills and antibiotics. I’ve started taking the iron pill… I’ve read cases where the procedure has had to be postponed due to low iron. I definitely don’t what that to happen to me. I’ve also already made my appointment to get my lab work done during the first week of November – a full month before my date. I don’t want anything to go wrong at the last minute! I’ve ordered Arnica Montana 30x and Quercetin with Bromelain from the Vitamin Shoppe. Ordering it form the Vitamin Shoppe is way less expensive then ordering from Vitamedica. I haven’t purchased my other items yet; small tees, shower curtain for bed, extra garment, sanitary pads to cover leakages, protein drinks, water, gatorade, or chair with the but cut out but I will soon ?. Am I missing anything? Oh and I gained 2 pounds, although I’m a lil’ nervous about that – I don’t want the fat to go other places besides my tummy so I might stop with the weight gain.

Well, on the 2nd I went to get my labs done. They took 3 vials of blood. When I asked the lady what types of test are being ordered, she said “everything.” So, that’s good I guess. At least they are thorough. It will take 3 business days for my doctor’s office to get the results, which means 3 more days of pins and needles. I don’t anticipate any complications that would cause me to have to postpone or cancel my sx but you never know.
Filling the vials was not that bad, and this is coming from someone that HATES needles. The irritating part was having to wait. I was not waiting because the lab was super busy, I was waiting because my doctor’s office forgot to fax my lab order sheet. After speaking with my consultant several times about “lab day,” there I was, on “lab day,” waiting an extra hour. Yes I did say hour… As it turned out, the first 30 min of my wait was in vain because they faxed to a wrong number. Who knows why it took 30 MORE minutes for the lab to actually receive the order but that’s what happened. Needless to say, that put a bad taste in my mouth regarding their office. Yea mistakes happen I guess, but I REALLY don’t want them to happen during my process. I want to be able to count on these people to do what they say they are going to do.
