I had my consultation today with Dr. Kerr for a TT and BBL and I must say it was amazing. He was so down to earth and intune to my needs. I am scheduled to have my TT and BBL on March 4, 2015 and even though I am nervois as hell I know that I am in good hands. I am so ready for the new me. My husband is going to be so stoked when he see's me in April when he gets home from Afghanistan. I am so excited and I can't wait to see my final results.

Thank you. I am getting so nervous. I truly hope my husband likes the end result. I have a question. Did Dr. Kerr put you in a Faja after surgery or did you just get one on your own? I ask because he said that I don't need a Faja because I'm not having my legs lipoed however after reading a lot of reviews most women wear them to help reduce the swelling and I helps to heal faster. He says I only need a binder. What are your thoughts? I have less than two weeks left and I'm not sure if I should just purchase my own Faja.

I purchased my faja and the nurses helped me get into right after the procedure! I had multiple areas of lipo and needed a lot of compression pretty much everywhere. Lol! I bought a faja that had the butt out styling. You don't want compression where the fat was transplanted. If your just having lipo on the tummy, flank and back areas than you will want maximum compression there. You could just get a butt out faja that goes to the thigh. You could also get the one that looks like underwear but I've heard that it feels like a really tight thong.... :/ a constant wedgie! I'm happy with the butt out choice of faja as I didn't lose volume. I'm sure that's mostly due to technique! I hope this info helps!

So I have decided to just go with the BBL first instead of doing it in conjunction with a TT. I really wanted to maximize all of the fat I will have to transfer. I plan on getting my TT six months later. My pre op today went well and I am starting to feel both nervous and excited. I am just two weeks away from my new booty. I will post before and after photos as well. Also I need as much advice as I can get for what is absolutely necessary for my healing and good results. Dr. Kerr said that I won't need a Faja because I'm only having my stomach, flanks and back lipoed. He suggests just a binder. What are your thoughts?
