I went with Up Lift Body Center in Schaumburg...

I went with Up Lift Body Center in Schaumburg Illinois Dr. Dillon will be doing my surgery. I've already had my pre-op which consist of photos from all angles, we talked about the areas I would like fat being taken from. One thing that I did not like so much is they charge $2,000 each place they take the fat from. That was pretty pricey in my opinion. After they had me go to a quest facility to some blood work. Which was on a Friday. Monday morning they gave me a call saying that they got my bloodwork back and my white blood cell levels was a little too high. And that it could not do the procedure without getting a surgical consent from my primary doctor. That put a damper on my day that's for damn sure. So I went to my doctor and got blood work done also a EKG and a chest x-ray. Needless to say everything came back perfectly. Papers to fax over given the doctor okay. My procedure got rescheduled so that next week which is June 14th 2016. I got to tell you guys I eat sleep and every other thought is about the surgery. I had a nightmare that my butt was completely ate up when I look in the mirror after surgery. I even had a dream that my butt was abnormally huge I mean huge, even a dream of me not waking up from the anesthesia! I am so nervous I don't know what to do. I will post plenty of pictures each day (if my body feeling up to it) 4 more days and a wake up.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ME.

By the way I'm receiving a BBL.

Thanks for starting a review and for adding before pics.  I'm glad you are now cleared and can have your BBL, it is always better to be extra safe but I can see how frustrating rescheduling can be.  Please keep us posted!

I sure will. Lol sorry about the granny undies in the photo. Lol
I've already been shopping online for new clothes. I'm so excited I pray that everything goes okay and I I'm satisfied with my new figure.

Everybody has a few pairs of granny panties in the rotation ;)

I will be praying for you. I was told I could get the flanks done for 1,500 for laser lipo with local. but the doctor who did my tummy tuck wants 2,700 but general.
June 13, 2016
I'm going General as well. But the more I read about this Smart Lipo. A lot of doctors state that go in general is unnecessary

And thank you for your prayers because I am a nervous wreck

Almost one year later since I had my BBL and I must say I'm a little bit disappointed. My stomach is no longer shape correctly I have dents here and there my love handles are still the same. I've been on a strict diet every since the surgery. I dont eat meat no more then twice out the week. And i wear my garment even still as much as possible. Even while I work out. I was satisfied with my surgery the first couple of months but it's like everything took a turn for the worst.The good side of it is I do have a nice round butt but my right cheek is a slight bit bigger than the other my right cheek is also harder then my left. Im going back in next week. And i pray they can fix this. I paid way to much money to still not be satisfied.

Finally had the BBL operation

Today I am two days post-op. And I am in so much pain it's not even nothing I can describe. The medication that was prescribed to me does not work so I had to double up my doses. That still didn't help so the doctor send in another prescription for something a little bit stronger, which helps. My experience was very quick. 1 minute I was waiting in the waiting room to see the doctor which was around 5:30. My appointment was at 4 o'clock. I got on the operating table comment and remember looking at the clock it was 6:10. The next thing I knew I was fully dressed and was leaving that was around 10:30 at night. I must say I was very comfortable. They answered all my questions. They even let me bring him wish pictures. It's hard for me to do anything on my own, as far as getting in and out of bed going to the bathroom, bending down or squatting for any reason. The first day after I pretty much slept the entire day. My stomach is pretty bruised up, but it's extremely flat. Hell I got a tattoo on my stomach that I forgot all about. Lol as I type this update I am pretty drowsy off medication. So I apologize if I missed out on anything feel free to ask me any questions. I'll put my pictures below that I have taken so far.

Oh yeah I almost forgot I use a wrap around foam and also an abdomen board under my garment to protect my stomach from getting lines and indents. I was also told that help keep your stomach in place and flat.

4 days post op. 1:59am
Can't sleep! I'm not in "pain" but I'm very uncomfortable. It's still hard for me to get in and out of bed on my own. I have a appetite, but i still can't eat much. I'm not as bruised as I thought I was. I have a big bruise under my left breast. My stomach is flat still swollen. And it kind of looks lopsided. Maybe I'm just paranoid, because my sister says it doesn't. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MY final results. Hopefully I don't lose too much of my booty.

My belly is looking a little lopsided too. But my belly is really hard and swollen. I'm scared but was told to just massage it. But massaging it hurts... so I don't know what to do. I did order the board and it came yesterday so I'm going to start using it. I was also told that I need to try to sweat some of the trapped fluids out but I can't exercise. So I'm not quite sure how I'm supposed to do that... I guess I'll have to keep massaging it.

I'm so drowsy and worn out off meds that I can't stay up long enough to even do anything... my left hip and bust cheek is sooooo stiff!!!! I have a sharp pain in my stomach (rib area) everytime I bend or try to turn. I wonder how long will all this last? I feel so helpless!!
July 3, 2016
Oh no. You have to try to get up and move around. That may be why your hip hurts. Try not to lay on one side too long. Try the arnica gel or some icy hot for the stiffness. Ive been using the arnica gel and it helps a little but I've been also taking Tumeric pill. It's a herbal pill that helps with inflammation and I've been a whole lot better. My tummy is still hard but I am able to move around a whole lot better. Do you have everything you need??
July 3, 2016
Yes . I believe so except theTumeric pill. We're do I but them? Yes I really do need to get up. these last two nights have been by far the worst since I had the procedure done. I'm starting to have regrets I can't lie. I went to my 1 week checkup yesterday they said everything's fine and I look good, I think I look good also, but I feel like [RS bleep]! My left hip and ass got me in so much pain that it affects the way I walk! Also I was a bit upset because at my appointment i thought I was be seeing Dr. Dillon but instead I seen a nurse that had no idea of what I had done! Girl im starting to feel depressed.
July 9, 2016
Hey hunn. How are you feeling? Have you been to get a massage yet? How is the hip? I have been seeing Meeko the nurse who was there for my surgery. I thought I would see Dr Dillon as well but I didn't. Meeko has been doing my massages. Don't feel depressed. It gets better. Im moving so much better now. And I owe it all yo pineapple juice, turmeric pills, arnica gel and arnika pills.
July 9, 2016
Turmeric pills you can get from any health food store.
July 1, 2016
And I too have a bruise under my left breast... that's crazy. Lol
August 10, 2016
Hey hunny how are you doing? I'm going to Dillon on the 22nd, do you have any more post op pictures?
August 16, 2016
Yes I'll post now
