I am a 24 year old mom of a 5 year old girl. I have always had self conscious issues with my tummy area. I decided to get a bbl done to take away my "baby fat" and areas I couldn't keep up. I went to Elite Body Sculpt to try and get my body contoured and lipo and to add the fat to my bottom to make if much more full. The staff and doctor's there are really nice and sweet. I just feel like for the $15,000 price tag I paid I didn't even get half of my money's worth. Surgery day I was extremely nervous and anxious. I felt basically everything, half way through surgery I had to stop to get more medication because my breathing rate had elevated and was speeding up. I was given more medication but they do not put their patients under. After surgery I was so pleased with my butt it was big and full but that was just the swelling, my tummy was still super full and that was due to all the swelling. As my 3 month appointment came I had a tone of fat I could physically pinch on my body still. The doctor told me that I was only 30% healed at that time. I would have to wait for my 6 month appointment to be able to tell real results. In between that time my butt cheek on my left side on the bottom had gotten a flat spot. Both my sides on my butt got indents from I'm guessing fat loss. My doctor told me you can lose anywhere from 30%-50% of fat transferred to your butt. my stomach region had not lost a lot of fat and I have been eating clean since surgery. I still now 6 months out look like I need a lipo. I still have fat everywhere and my "fupa" is still present. I have consulted and have done extensive research to get a revision lipo and now a tummy tuck with a new doctor. I will need a revision for my bbl a year later to correct all the things that should have been done in the first place.

Hi, I'm sorry u didn't get the results u were looking good for bit thank u for posting because I was considering going to the same place as u, although I didn't know it was $15000, that's crazy expensive! I got a quote for bbl from Dr. Sumida in Folsom (8,500) and I thought that was alot. Lol. Well good luck on ur next journey, I hope ur results are more of what u are expecting!

Sorry for your disappointing results may I ask what doctor you went to to correct the problems

I'm sorry you were not happy with the experience at elite body sculpture.
People differ in their potential of getting great results.
For example women who have had children with skin laxity or abdominal wall muscle laxity may not get the same results as women who have tight skin and tight muscles or thicker layers of subcutaneous fat.
Negative reviews written before patients follow up with their physicians are unfortunate. Many misunderstandings and the potential of obtaining the very best results can almost always be resolved when patients and physicians cooperate.
We stand by our results and are happy to do revision work when needed.
We do not charge for revisions and perform them whenever necessary.
When someone comes in asking for a Brazilian butt lift then states that they now need an abdominoplasty it's like ordering a cheeseburger and then expecting a pizza.
I would have been more than happy to talk about alternative procedures with anyone during the consultation.
This includes referring patients to other physicians if procedures we do not perform are needed.
When a patient comes in wanting a Brazilian then I typically do not refer patients for an abdominoplasty.
Patient who gain substantial amount of weight after having liposuction often see less of an improvement.
People who sit on the treated area after a Brazilian may also develop uneven contours.
I would and still am happy to discuss any concerns patients have in regards to their experience and results.
It's especially unfortunate when patients write negative reviews before having discussed their results and experience with their treating physician.
A lot of misunderstandings and the ability to obtain ideal results can often be obtained by a cooperative relationship between the patient and their physician.
Elite Bodysculpture is the premier body contouring company in the country.
We specialize exclusively on Liposuction and fat transfer.
Each of our physicians have her formed thousands of procedures.
My profile on RealSelf represents my personal practice in San Francisco and not elite body sculpture in Roseville.
It would be nice if review regarding Elite Bodysculpture would be placed on review sites for that company and not for my personal practice.
I remain available to discuss any concerns patients have after procedures and I'm committed to delivering the highest standard of care possible.

so, even though it’s two different places but the same doctor; can patients expect the same results since it is the same doctor so is performing an “x” procedure in different places? can the same “great product” be deliver?

For what it's worth, I have only had a pleasant interaction with you via email. Your candor and communication is what I appreciate in my search for a great surgeon. Thanks!
