I finally decided to get some work done. I have decided on a brazillian butt lift. This is a long time coming. Any one that knows me, knows I have complained about the lack of booty I have. Not sure why I havent' done it before...but having the support of my beau makes it easier. I am going for a consultation with Dr Raphael Gabay in Philly next week week. I have looked at the profiles of a few people on here, and they seem very happy with their results. I am looking to have the surgery in September. I would like to be all healed be for the holidays and before my birthday. Right now i have NO ASSITOL...LOL...no hips either...I can't wear certain clothing items b/c I hate how my backside looks...so I am planning on going all in. I would like a nice round booty...I have very nice legs - or so i have been told. i think i nice plump butt will go good. I have a bunch of questions and pics to show the docture ---i am hoping he will tell me if my goals are realistic. The only thing I am concerned about is whether he has enough experience in this procedure. There are no do-overs!!! I don't want a lumpy ass..or misshaped butt...I will keep updates as i progress! Reluctantly I will post before picture

I am super excited about the consult...this is a no brainer for me...i swear i have wanted a booty for as long as i can remember...my family is excited for me too (weird huh)...the man is WAY TOO excited...He's looking forward to going panty shopping....I am trying to prepare him for the worst...i really hope the outcome is what I am looking for...my sister said to be prepared to have to go back for some tweaking...i sure hope not....I have a bunch of pics of what i want my butt to look like...its weird going 'booty' shopping with my man...now whenever i am out...i find myself drawn to women's butts 'hmm i'd like to have a butt like that' i am tempted to ask if i can take a pic...but i don't want anyone to think i am weird...lmao...if they only knew! I am glad to have support from all my friends and family...even my son is ok with it...although he said me with a butt is going to be weird...he's not going to be able to look at women's behinds quite the same anymore....i am hoping to have it done end of sept, beginning of oct...i would like to be healed by the holidays...I am nervous...but it won't deter me. I hope the doc won't tell me i have to lose a lot of weight, but i am anticipating having to lose some...time to give up the weekday wine and afterwork liquid get togethers!!! I applaud anyone one willing to make changes for the right reasons...I am excited to finally be able to wear cute sun dresses w/o the back looking like an ironing board....lmao...or wear skirts that have some kind of form....i kid you not..i have a dress and i bought a cute belt to go with it...i put the belt on...only to have it fall to the floor b/c there was nothing for it 'hold' on too...FRUSTRATING...well after my BBL i won't have that issue anymore...and i am really thinking of going BIG...i figure i will prob lose some later on...more to come!!!

Thank you for your compliment and best to you on your consult today. Feel free to contact me with any questions. In about 3 months it will be my 1 year anniversary and I am so happy that I had this done. I've been married for 12 years and my husband is all into me all over again. And the funny thing is that he didn't even know about this procudure or that I was planning on doing this until I invited him to meet me at the Dr. Office for my consult. Him or I never expected to see the type of change this made to my body. If you have it done now. You should be feeling pretty good by the holidays but keep in mind that it will take almost 9 months to really feel 100% another thing don't wait till the end of fall because the cold is a b!t(h to the grafted fat. Just to mention the items that I remember the most. Let us know how your consult goes.

Thanks for the tips...and yes i will definitely be contacting you...the support on ths site has been great. I am hoping to have it done by the end of sept beginning of oct. The 'man' would like it done asap...he's sick of me complaining about my flat butt and being skiddish about walking around in just my undies...lol...

jaja thats cute. it will make a difference, the things we do it tell you. I am actually looking at a little touch up after my year or maybe real son here. just want to wait till the summer is over since i love the beach and will need to stay away from 3 months after. dont really need the 2nd round but since i still have a little fat that i dont like around my bra area might as well use it :-)

Was there a limit to the number of areas you can have lipo'd?
