Partied like it was 1999!!!! (With my new BBL)

Hello RealSelf Fam,
I wanted to add updated pictures so you could see what this looks like with clothes on…lol. Hubby and I celebrated our anniversary this past weekend and partied like it was 1999!!!! I swear to you, this surgery has changed my life! I am sooooooo happy I did this for myself and my husband could not be happier.

Updated Pictures at 4 weeks

I like to wear the same underwear when posting pictures in order to get a comparison ( washed in between of course…LOL)

Hello RealSelf Family, I had been stalking this...

Hello RealSelf Family,
I had been stalking this website for a couple of years dreaming about the day that I too would be able to get a BBL. Well that day finally came for me on June 23, 2014 and believe me, this had been the single best thing I have done for myself in years. I searched high and low for the best doctor I could find and decided to go with LA Plastic Surgery in Sarasota, FL. Dr. Lacerna-Kimbrell proved to be a winner and turned my frown upside down. Now whenever I look in the mirror, I am so pleased with what I see. My waist to hip ratio is insane. I actually had fun shopping for clothes recently and showing off my new "Badonka-Donk". My husband LOVES it and so do I. Every time I walk by him, he's saying, "Damn girl"..LOL Seriously, I would encourage anyone to get this surgery if you're healthy and this is what you really want. Do your research though because not all Dr(s) are the same. Trust me, Dr. Lacerna was not my only consultation.

In my pictures, I still had some bruising on my thighs and swelling in my butt. My butt is a little smaller now but its still protruding nicely and I have an hour glass figure.

My experience with Dr. Lacerna was definitely a 5 star experience. From the consultation to the day of surgery, she and her staff were very down to earth, caring, and professional. Most reviews I've read stated that this surgery can be done anywhere from 2 to 4 hours. Not so with Dr. Lacerna. She took her sweet time with my surgery and the results prove it. I am extremely pleased with her work and will seek her services again in the future.
