I’ve had an on again off again relationship with the BBL and real self for quite a few years now. I had my first bbl in May 2014 at GLO Surgical Arts in Redwood city Ca. and I was not happy with the results. I knew immediately that it was not done right and it wasn’t going to improve with time. I went along and did all the things recommended by the doctor. I went through post op massages and appointments and still not happy. My Butt was not shaped how I wanted it and there was no projection. I didn’t have a top shelf or buttom shelf. I was NOT full and fat was clearly missing in the middle of my butt cheeks. The lipo was not that great but it helped my love handles/flanks so I won’t complain about that. I was awake during the procedure which was a big mistake. ALL in ALL, I have decided to do this ONE LAST TIME before I throw in the towel and I am not going to accept failure this time. IT HAS TO BE RIGHT… There will be no round 3… This time around I want the BBL with liposculpting. I want my lipo on my abs, back fat and bra flap/fat removed or at least reduced. I want to be what they call “SNATCHED”!!! I am about to be 35 years old and I want to treat myself. I totally deserve it…

Dr. Mallol is an artist... His work is EXCELLENT... However the way he conducts business, His Staff, His lack of communication, and his lack of after care instructions will be his downfall... He is the bomb. He is polite.. I'm grateful for the fact that I'm alive to even write this review because he's safe and has good judgement. My complaints are as follows: He doesn't give you a "real" receipt. After handing over 5k, I'd like a receipt. I was not given a copy of the paperwork I signed. Anytime you are signing your life away, you should at least be given copies so that you are able to review everything. His Staff are only attentive when he's around. Soon as he leaves for the evening, you are left to fend for yourself. I didn't get any courtesy calls to check on me. I was not told how many CC's I was given for my BBL. I was not given after care instructions and as a result I had some minor infections in my belly button and elbows. I was not told about removable stitches or dissolvable stitches. I ended up having to get them removed 3 weeks post op. After all this beautiful work he performed on me, I can't give him the review that he really deserves because of the above complaints... These are major issues because infections can turn into life threatening issues..

No disrespect...but why not lose some weight, first? Liposuction is really not meant to remove large amounts of fat

I had a similar shape to you and was around your weight and it was all taken off. There are many good doctors do your research and go with who you feel will deliver safely and you like. X
