27 year old female, 5'9", around 140lb- considering lipo or BBL after weight loss
My heart has been set on lipo or a booty for a while now, and I'm still in the planning phase. I have 2 consultations set up in 2 weeks- one with Dr. Finger and another with Dr. Shanklin, both in Savannah, where I live. Dr. Finger did my BA, and I'm very satisfied with my results. He has 40+ years of experience, and was the first to do liposuction in Georgia. Dr. Shanklin did my bf's sister's surgeries, and comes highly recommended.
I'm also considering a jump to Miami to see Dr. FIsher or another surgeon who can do the more dramatic results- I understand that there are mixed reviews, but I am seeing less conservative procedures with lipo, and I'm hoping to have a more sculpted look. I lost 70-80lb at age 13, from around 200 to 120. I've been active since then, went vegan at 21, and can't seem to lose some fat in my flanks, abdomen, and inner thighs. I'm muscular, but even at my smallest (running 6miles per day, eating too little), I had flank fat- this runs in my family with the women. Also from my mother, I inherited a flat, square booty. I have hips, but no matter how hard I work out and do leg lifts, I don't get a lot of projection. I say I'm considering lipo OR a BBL because I am hopeful that lipo-ing my flanks, abdomen, and thighs will make my booty more pleasant-looking, proportionately. I do NOT want a big butt- just a "high and tight" one with a little curve.
I'll try to post pictures later, but I hate looking at myself in the mirror. I have a "frowny-face" bellybutton and feel like my skin is more lax than I would like. However, my skin looks much tighter than other "dramatic weight loss" patients, and I have heard reviews that lipo can either leave more extra skin or allow the skin to shrink down to the muscle. Because I was so young when I lost the weight, and am still young, I'd like to hope my skin can shrink. I don't really have many visible stretch marks (they are very light), and I don't want any kind of "tucking" until I've had children, if I'm going to have them. I'm also considering the fact that if I have children, my butt may grow then, so I don't want an over-sized one.
My consults in Savannah are on May 31st, and I'd like to have the procedures done toward the end of the year, so that I'm not in South GA heat while I'm recovering and swelling up. Both Dr. Finger and Dr. Shanklin have good results- I just want more dramatic results, so I'm considering Eres for that. My bf's sister may come with me, since she recently had lipo, has also had a BA, and likes to travel.

"Before" photos & WISH
BBLdec1517May 18, 2017
I hate posting these. The more I look at them, the more I think I will need a BBL and not just lipo. Fat hanging on to skin after weight loss.
The wish photos show what I feel I would like look like after surgery- these are RealSelf girls, so I hope that's ok!
I'm so active and healthy, I just never bounced totally back from being a fat kid. I want my body to reflect the work I put into it. ????

You look great and if you decide to get a bbl it's still you just even more beautiful and better....wishing you well on your journey :-)
May 19, 2017
Yes i think you will look more like your wish pics if you chose bbl put the little bit of fat to good use! lol Good luck doll.

I will be going to Fisher in 9/8/17 he is a very talented surgeon. whoever you chose make sure he has the experience in bbl this is why i am flying from Los Angeles to Miami. Also i would like to say its not only the booty or a flat tummy but the shape and sculpting of the waist.
May 19, 2017
I'm excited for you! I have decided on Fisher s well. His body contouring is more dramatic than many others, and that's what I want. He also has such good reviews! Do you mind me asking when you booked and what the cost covers for you? I want to add arms and inner thigh.
May 19, 2017
I booked it in 2/15/17 and he was booked till september, 6.500 for bbll lipo in 12 areas plus a garment and arms another 500. i will also be getting the cell saver which will be 550 i think?
May 19, 2017
I forgot to tell you that im so happy you chose Fisher! Good luck to you sweetie!
May 19, 2017
Ok. I had previously heard 5500 for their spring break "special," so since I'm looking at having it done this upcoming winter, I may wait for that.
May 19, 2017
Yes but you need to book it to lock in that price, also he gets booked pretty fast.

Your stomach is flat! Yes, just take those precious fat cells from your sides and back and put some for protection and you will be banging!
December 13, 2017
Thank you! Ugh, I sure hope so, I have so much on my sides and back (thanks to my mother). So excited I can’t sit still. :)

I was a similar situation to you. I had a lower body lift done. What did you decide?

Add Arms & Inne thigh to lipo?
BBLdec1517May 19, 2017
I'm reading back over my emails from Margaret (Surgical Coordinator for Dr. Fisher), and she didn't say anything about thigh lipo. I really want my inner thighs and arms done, in addition to the abdomen, flanks, bra roll, etc. Has anyone had experience in adding these to surgery with Eres/ Imagenes/ Dr. Fisher?
