Ok,hey ladies. If you're reading this please join in my experience with getting my BBL. I have read a lot of you all's experiences, ups and downs, and I want to say Thanks for sharing. It was you who made me decide to get this procedure done.

A little about me I'm starting off in the music industry and I just want that full figured shape. I think this will take my career to the next level. I don't want a minaj ass, but something that can complement my shape. (pics soon!).

So any who I had my consult with the lovely Mrs. Lacerna in Sarasota. And she was great!! Her staff were very professional but also stylish. Which I thought was cool because you don't want a plain jane doing your surgery. How will they understand what you want if they arent able to view in that way. So my date is Jan 2013....yayyyyyyy.

I want that small waist and plump bottom,but also realistic. Im so nervous, but I feel like pleasure is pain. And if you want to be perfect, whether inside or out, you have to put in that effort. The pics I have been seeing are amazing. I bet some of you stand and look in the mirror all day. I need advice, I dont care how important or non important you think it is.

Please share....I need some friends on here lol. I was told by Dr Lacerna that I would be under local anesthesia. And that I wouldn't require any drains. Also that I didnt have to get those massages? I have so much on my mind. So please holla at me so I can ease my nerves. Dueces

Hello......I haven't gotten any replies yet....I'm so sad. I need some feedback. Even though I am continuing to check on you guys post and look at your pics. So now I'm wondering if I should get any fat on my my hips to make it look a little better. I just have this image made up in my mind, but it gets me so nervous when I think if the doctor is going to keep that in mind. I know you can show them pictures of what you want. But I dont think I will get the same results as the pics. I need to know how you guys explained this to your doctor when describing the type of shape you want. I am gonna try to upload some pictures and see if I get some feedback then. I will post soon.......till next time!!!

yes hopefully. I was gonna come to Miami to have it done, then I found this site. So I just spend a lot of my time on here browsing and such. I'm really nervous too. I just want to get as much advice as possible. I see everyones recovery is different. But I couldnt imagine traveling outta town with no being able to sit. So when in Jan do you get your surgery.....

Im going for 01/31/13 but I Might do it sooner maybe mid Jan, I'm dieting now so I can get down to a certain weight. I was told my Dr. Office that with local anesthesia the recovery process is VERY different thean with general, no drains or long down time to heal. I was told you may still bruise a little but not that much. I am so ready to have it done it seem like its taking forever now, but I know its right around the corner.

I was told that that I needed to gain weight at least ten pounds. I haven't weighed myself in a while, which I dont know why, but Im thinking I am 150 at the most. I was told that the laser she uses after the surgery will make drains unnecessary and will reduce the amount of swelling. I am still nervous about being awake during the surgery. She says this keeps her cost down and the surgery usually last a 2-4 hours. I haven't spoken to anyone who has been through the local anesthesia but I'm also still very excited

Hi iam2jazzy. Welcome. You need to figure out what you want & then take similar pics to your Dr. Talk it over to see if it's realistic & achievable for you. You have a nice shape so you should look too fine when surgery is done.

Hi im2jazzy ;) I am almost 8 weeks post op BLA. Communication with your surgeon is the best for you to have great results, tell her what you would like and she will give her opinion and if you can get that alike from the pictures you show to her. Stay positive ;)
October 25, 2012
I just told my doc exactly what i wanted. i didnt want back fat i wanted hips and a upside down heart shape no shelf but a slope and i want my butt to be fat and juicy. lol .... communication is key. she should give you feedback of what she thinks she can do. my doc gave me exactly what i asked for and i didnt show him any pics.

Hey, so you did have fat added to your hips?
October 26, 2012
dr salama diesnt put it in your hips. he xalls it lateral butt injections. so i have the illusion of nice round hips.
October 25, 2012
local anesthesia??? i cant imagine doing this procedure awake. no drains?? why no drains? they prevent you from getting fluid build up and seromas. so do the messages. i highly recomend the messages. i would be so scared doing this under local and not general.

yes she said that she uses a technique with a laser that allow you not to have drains after the procedure. She says there will be draining, but I would not require the drains afterwards. And for the anesthesia, she said there is medication that I would be given on pre-op day and the day of the surgery. And during the surgery I will be some what awake and responsive. She assured me that she does it this way. She has done many surgeries and I have checked her references. Should I be worried?

with local anesthesia its different my consultnt told me the surgery time is like 1 1/2 hours the use a laser tube to lipo the fat which also will contract your skin at the same time( tummy tuck may not be needed) which will help flatten as well, then the fat will be purified then in jected in the butt..They have videos on you tube also where the procedure is done while the patient is fully awake. I just feel this is a little more safer thats why I chose this option too.. Also there are no drains because you are not going under the knife.
October 26, 2012
I mean no if this is what she is experienced in then you should be fine. as long as your comfy with the procedure thats all that matters. Like other rs bbl sis said talk ti her patients directly. they can inform yoy better on there experience with her. good luck and either way you will look great girl.

Ok, so I have decided not to go to Dr. Lacerna and make my way down south......calling Dr. Perry!!! Dr. Perry!!!! I want this done the right way the first time doing it. I want fat added to my hips during my BBL. I dont want to be awake, nor not have drains. I have nothing against Dr. Lacerna she is great, I just felt Dr. Perry would give me results. I still have to do my online consultation, but I'm hoping I can get a date of March or April. Fingers crossed. I have a quesiton, how long did you all wait to go back to work, even if you didn't technically have to sit. And also, how long did you stay in the given location of your doctor, not what they wanted you to stay, but what you actually stayed. TTYL

Stay up!!!

Dr. S is way better i've been hearing alot about Dr. L practices and it's not worth it. A friend of mine is scarred and remembers the extensive pain she experienced during the BBL and now it looks like she didnt have one done at all. My other friends wont be going there and i share sorry with Ritfat13. Im sticking with Dr. S for this one i would rather have to much and have to take some out than not have any at all and have awful pain with it. At least with Dr. S you go to sleep and you wake up with a big booty LOL!!! I pray for you and your experience know that we are all here for you Mami!

LOL, girl you crazy. I feel you though! She should of worked something out, especially if you do this type of thing all the time like she stated in her comment below. It would be nothing to correct the surgery, or at least be empathetic. Now she is loosing potentinal customers, not because of what RitFat posted, but by Dr. L's response and treatment of the situation. You have to have customer service, especially when your in the cosmetic/plastic surgery field. Period
