Vicki@plasticsurgeryga.com are you trying to get a quote? If so keep me posted. Everyone's quotes have been pretty much the same besides mine, my quote is way higher.

Yeah I got my quote,and I drove down there to see Dr.C. My quote was for aggressive lipo,and partial skin removal.

Dr.C told me that I did not need a full Tt. I had no muscle separation. It would save me money,less scarring,and healing time.

I just had TT (with flankectomy and butt lift) and a BBL June 16th. You can do it girl. I'm not going to lie, I had a lot of pain the first few days, but it was manageable after that. As for sleeping? I slept on top of lots of pillows on my side in bed. I've been in bed since day 1, and didn't spend any nights in the hospital. You can view my pics so far. I didn't want my butt big, I just didn't want to lose any through the lift. I'm happy with my results so far. You can message me if you have any questions. You weight loss is looking good since you started your review, I can already see great improvement.

You know what...... You just totally made my day! Thank you for taking your time in writing me and encouraging me!! It is very appreciated. I have been dying to talk to someone that has had a tt and bbl. I have so many questions and I just need a bit of guidance. My mom just had a facelift on Thursday and being at the clinic I really felt like I just wanted to get it done and over with but I get scared and change my mind. I still have not decided on a ps.

Hey Irenettbbl, just wondering if you're still planning to have your surgery with Dr. Cochran? My surgery is scheduled for Jan 30 and I can't wait! I'm driving 2 1/2 hours for my surgery with him, but I just love his work and how low he places his scars. There are a lot of great reviews on here for him too. Well good luck - I hope you get your dream come true :)

Botox and juvederm

Dolls....I had some Botox and some fillers do e today. So far I am a bit disappointed. I don't see a huge improvement yet :( as for the Botox I know it can take up to a week for full results but the Juvederm is instant. No bruising no swelling that's a plus. I had this done today by Dr. song he is very nice, prima center is very modern and they stay busy. Besides that, same old same old. Bought a couple things over the weekend to get my body ready for the procedures I would like to have done. Will try to upload some pictures later....

Got done with my workout this morning and I should feel pumped and full of energy, how come I am in sad mode???? I get to the point where I am ready to go under the knife that same instant but a couple minutes later I am feeling regret. Yes I do dislike you, you hanging tummy but you have been with me for so long.....lol that's what crosses my mind. To spent all that money on my body, the down time, my 6 year old having to see me recuperating and I am not to thrilled about the way the belly button looks like after a tt. Arrrrggg all that I think about. My babies father is so against it. He will not support it because I likes the way I look now...I don't see how but he believes I should stay the way I am and be happy. Not that I will follow his opinion lol but it does cross my mind also. I am just crazy yall? What the heck is wrong with me!!! I do need it, I just took some pictures and once you see it like that you realize how bad it is. Wish there would be hope for cellulite on my thunder thighs, those bother me just as much as the belly. Today is Friday and on Monday I am going back to dr. Songs clinic to take my mother for her preop and get my face right :) hope that being around "pretty people" and the source of it all, that I will feel ready to go and pumped about it again. Not that I am choosing him to do the body work but just being around a plastic surgeon and his very attractive staff will motivate me again. Also the hype over me wanting to go to Dom Rep is officially over, I have kids (like mentioned numerous times lol) I can't be experimenting. The body work is insane and I love what they do but I am coming back to be a stay at home mother that goes to church twice a week and i will be ok with just looking bomb lol I don't have to get video vixen ready :) but I do love to read and look at all these beautiful chicas on rs they do look truly amazing. Support is always appreciated :)

Hey doll, don't know if you are aware of this, or if anyone has mentioned to you that if have a tummy tuck along with a bbl, the amount of fat the Dr is able to remove legally is greatly reduced. That is one of the reasons a lot of Dr's don't like combining the 2 procedures. Some will do it because they know you're not going to be satisfied with the outcome and will come back for a round 2. That's more business for them. Just want you to know what is involved in getting multiple procedures. Good luck doll with your choice.

Wow I did not know that. See and that exactly was my fear!! Thank you for letting me know . I honestly would be thrilled if I wouldn't have to do the tt. I know that with a bbl you get more fat removed due to them needing it, instead of with the tt it's only two areas and the rest you have to pay extra and they won't be as aggressive I guess. But with both procedures at the same time I didn't know. One of my main concerns is to have as much fat gone as possible due to me having so many areas needing work done. From arms to legs, heck chin also lol. I am terrified of the tt and the scar, I am not afraid of the bbl. it has crossed my mind to do the bbl first and just keep on working out and aiming the workout towards the tummy mostly and I guess just deal with the hanging skin after most fat hopefully vanishes. Or wishful thinking would be to just than needing a mini tuck. But it's all just so confusing. With my kids I wanted to get it all out of the way and be done with it at once and also money wise it's more affordable this way but I might have to reconsider it all. Maybe after having a nice booty I won't care about the front lol nah I know I will

All fat is not necessarily viable for a bbl. They normally get good fat from the flanks abs and back. Every state a limits to how much fat can be removed. In Florida it's 4 liters legally with a bbl. If you get a tummy tuck it's 1 liter ... Big difference. If I'm not completely satisfied with the way my tummy is flattening, I would do smart lipo next. It's laser lipo that tightens the skin and removes the fat. You can't get this kind of lipo with a bbl though because it kills the fat.

You know I need to email dr c tomorrow and find out. I was going to email them anyways but that is a great question to ask. So they told you that you needed eventually a tt right? But you had the lipo done on your tummy and you are waiting to see final results? That would be my ultimate path to choose. I would love to just get the bbl and lipo and wait it out but he seamed so confident about the tummy to be removed. I mean I get it, it's just nasty looking lol but it's my fear and body being cut I guess I just have a little hope left that it can be fixed in a different way without having to spent 20000

Well, I'm sure you already know I went to Vanity, and yes, at first Dr Hasan thought I might need to get a tummy tuck until he saw me in person. After the sx, he felt even more optimistic about me not having to have a tummy tuck. He said women of color have very resilient skin, and often times or skin retracts well after lipo. We'll see if I'm one of the fortunate ones. Lol ... I really dint want that ugly scar either. That's why I said I would try smart lipo and abandon a tt altogether.

Girl you are lucky and now with that booty even luckier :) vanity or the other one in Miami (forgot the name) are the best places in my opinion to get a bbl. But yes that's true that you do have way better skin. My mother is latina and she is mixed meaning skin color wise. Her dad was very dark and her mom lighter but even with her I can tell that she has better skin. No cellulite barely any stretch marks and over the years watching her gain and loose weight and back to gaining her skin has always retracted back like nothing ever happened. Good grief I got it all lol, loose skin, stretch marks but that cellulite on them thunder thighs disgusting. You have encouraged me to seek some opinions in Miami. I got a quote from dr fisher over the phone but I never emailed the pictures. I do plan on loosing another 50 lbs. I don't have to have a complete flat tummy, I just do t what that apron either.

One more thing, tell me about that chair thingy you bought.
User Avatar
June 10, 2014
You can check it out on my blog. Is called the drive chair cane seat I believe. I listed where I got it from and how much I paid for it. I don't remember the name of the company, but I know I didn't pay more than $25 for it. You have no idea how helpful this portable chair is. I put a picture of it up on my blog as well so you can see what it looks like. I've taken that thing with me to all outdoor events I went to, such as my son's flag football games. I use it a lot now still while I'm in the house. I don't want to sit directly on my booty yet. I've tried it and it feels very weird.

Girl, I won't recommend liposuction with a tummy flip. Just get a tt. You can get a tattoo to cover it up. Yes, ask them many questions.
