I am more than 1 month out from my surgery date and so far I have gained about 10 pounds. My starting weight was about 130lbs and now I am around 141. I am 5'4". I'm also super worried about unwanted health side effects from gaining so much weight. I would hate for any of my abdominal fat gained to be visceral and not subcutaneous and not have enough fat in my midsection to be liposuctioned.

I'm currently at 144 pounds and I stopped in to see Dr. Lacerna to see if I was gaining weight in usable areas, after the second consult I sent in my wish pics. She called me and told me that my wish pics are pretty much all unattainable for my size and that it would be possible to achieve my goals with a revision in 6 months if I gained even more weight. At this point she thinks she'll only be able to get 400 cc to each cheek. I'm feeling discouraged. It really doesn't feel like its worth it to have permanent scars and spend thousands of dollars to only have 400 cc's and possibly look exactly the way I did before I gained weight for the surgery. Oh well I guess I have a month to decide.

Hi,
Good luck on your journey!
Not sure why you can only get 400cc, doesnt really seem worth the money and pain to me...

That's what I'm thinking now. It sucks tho because I've gained so much weight and if I don't get the surgery it will have been a waste if time and money and I'll have to look this heavy for a while until I lose the weight.

Have you considered seeing another PS and getting a second opinion? There are plenty of doctors that can do an online consult if you don't want to travel. = )
Safe weight gain is usually 2 pounds a week so I think you're good.
Best wishes!

Hi True fish... Welcome sis Can I ask how much she quote for bbl for the 400ccs? I'm in manatee and I don't see any bbl reviews for her. She has only one pic of bbl. do you know if she's that busy as Salama? Ty and sorry 4 all the ??

The quote is based on number of areas lipoed I believe. Her prices start at $6500 for the bbl. She actually has 2 pics up of the bbl. one is a small change and the other a full reshape. She isn't as busy as Dr. Salam but she does do quite a few of them, I just think a lot of her patients decline to have their before and afters shared. I was able to meet one of her past patients last week and she was very happy with her results and is getting another procedure done in a few months. She let me see her abdomen(which is where she had most of her lipo done) and it looked amazing and she was only 1 month post op.

I went to another PS in July and she told me not to gain weight because there was no guarantee it would go where I wanted it to because I have an "athletic" build. My dilemma is that the 1.5 weeks that I took off for recovery can't be changed so I would have to wait until next year. The only other surgeon whose work I liked in the area is in Orlando and his office staff never return my calls. I also feel comfortable with Dr. Lacerna and I want to go to someone who has time for me and that I feel safe with. I may wind up not getting the surgery at all :(
