BBL with Dr Aslani, Spain, ES

Photos removed

WORTH IT$6,438
Sorry guys, had to remove all my photos. I've been open with family, friends and colleagues about my lipo, mainly because I didn't have enough holiday left and had to go back swollen after round 2, but also because people understand lipo. They don't get the BBL and it seems lots have opinions on it. I kept BBL part private, as I am entitled to do so, from my family and thus from my colleagues, being that 3 people there know some of my family. Anyhow, I told one person about realself whilst trying to help them research doctors for their own cosmetic procedure, I can only presume that's the start of my BBL part being discussed behind my back at work by a group of guys. I'm feeling pretty upset and disappointed, being that I openly discuss the lipo part with anyone who asks, it's pretty obvious I don't wish to discuss the BBL part and that's my right to do. I've struggled with body dysmorphia for years, so when I hear people are talking about me, I always assume it's bad and it starts the cycle of criticising yourself and obsessing again. I haven't felt like that for a few years since round 1 and never want to feel like that again, having been in such a good place about my body since 2014. Anyhow, my reviews and pictures were here to help others with their surgery choices, but I cannot risk that others may view any photos and have a laugh at my expense. Hopefully things haven't been screenshotted or viewed already before I was told about the talking. I wholeheartedly recommended Dr Aslani and his team and will happily share photos for their intended purpose of helping others choose what is right for them. I have requested an account closure, but it feels such a shame as I put so much time and effort into recording my experiences for others and I know it has helped a number of people, but the other part of me feels that I should just get rid of the lot. We'll see when I get a response from realself. The close account link is not working at present.

Overall, I was happy I chose Dr Aslani and the Cirumed team. All my emails were answered fully and quickly before the procedure and the whole process was easy. There was no selling by the staff, they just answered my numerous questions and I was left to make my own choices. This was a plus point for me. I felt that I didn't really get enough time with Dr Aslani before surgery - I saw him for maybe 5 to 10 minutes before I went into theatre. I was so nervous and my mind was racing, so I forgot to say how I really wanted my hips. Despite this, I was happy with his manner and the aftercare and am happy that I made the right choice in doctor.

Round 2 booked in

Hi all,
Haven't been on here for a while, but thought I'd update, as I'm booked in with Dr Aslani for a revision BBL on 15th May 2017.
I am still really happy with my butt and my figure overall. The confidence I have gained from round 1 is fantastic.
How round 2 came to be is that I recently enquired with Cirumed about liposuction to my calves. Technologies have advanced so much in the past few years, that calf lipo is now a possible thing. I really hate my calves. They are both muscly and fatty and I have been self conscious of them since I was at primary school. I did look into muscle reduction procedures in Korea alongside the lipo, but I think that procedure is just not for me. I was too concerned about the risks of removing healthy muscle and also surgery being in Korea itself after the horror stories you hear.
Anyhow, Dr Aslani was unable to really gauge what result he could get on my calves over photos and said he would much prefer to do BBL revision to replace the small amounts of fat I lost to the outer side of each buttock and do his best with my calves within that procedure.
I'm really hoping for a good result. I would love to go out in a skirt and not be self conscious of my legs or to actually be able to buy a pair of skinny jeans or normal knee high boots. Also really looking forward to having that bit of my butt back and some more projection if it is possible.
The surgery date has timed perfectly, as I have put on weight anyway just through a new job and a.couple of holidays. I was 11stone 2lbs. When I had round 1. I'm normally around 10.10, but am up to 12 stone anyway and have been asked to put on more. Honestly, I'm so sick of eating, can't remember the last time I was properly hungry lol. Not weighed in yet, but my stomach is bigger and my clothes are fitting very tightly, so I think it's working!!
Round 1 was very much worth it for me and I hope I will write another review soon saying the same of round 2.

How much is round 2 babe [RS bleep]
It's gone up a lot. Used to be like 2500 Euro when I had round 1 in 2014, now it's 3490 euros plus 21% tax!

The cheapest I can find someone in the UK to lipo my calves is 3500 pounds alone, so round 2 including my calves is a much better option for me xx
Might have been 2500 pounds before, I'm not totally sure, but I have 2500 something stuck in my head lol xx
How was your procedure.. funny how i will do anything for bigger calves. I love to see a pair of jeans filled all the way to the calves.. you can have my chicken legs.

Hope you are recovering well
Hahaha brilliant! Isn't it strange how we see parts of ourselves. I would love your chicken legs!
How did round 2 go?! X

Touch up lipo to flanks

As in my last post, I went back to see Dr Aslani in Malaga for on Wednesday (10/02/2016) and I can say I'm really pleased with it at this time.

I was awake during the procedure, which was laser lipo (aka Smartlipo). Parts of it hurt, but overall, it was just uncomfortable and I was squeamish. I'm glad I went and Dr Aslani was true to his word and the procedure was free. I tied it on to a fee days away with my friend, which was nice.

The actual procedure lasted about an hour start to finish and, honestly, the anaesthetic being inserted was the worst bit. Everything after that was fine.

I didn't need stitches, as the incisions were so small, so I had steristrips instead. I leaked a little overnight and then nothing since.

I woke up a little swollen all over, but this went off as I moved around. My swelling after that is just localised to my hips and abdomen area.

It's a little tender and hurts if I move too much or too quick, other than that, again, it's just a little uncomfortable and nothing more. And very very little bruising :-)

I've posted a few pictures, let me know what you think xx

You look great! I love your shape!
Thank you, that's really kind to say x
Thank you for the detailed review. Can I just ask, would you say your hips were symmetrical before you had the procedure done? I have different sized hips and want to get this done. Wondering if I would have this problem corrected with the lipo and bbl or if I'll end up looking worse or more uneven afterwards!
Hi. Thanks for your comment, Really sorry I haven't seen it before, I ended up restricting the emails from really, as I get too many and it must've stopped me getting comment notifications!

Wondering if you went ahead with the surgery?

I hadn't noticed my hips were asymmetrical before it was pointed out to me, but then I did have a lot.of fat covering up one being higher than the other haha xx
Thanks. Have not read such a real and detailed review on here yet! I am very worried but it is important to have all the facts x would u still say it was worth it? X
Hey, thanks for your comment. Really sorry I haven't seen it before, I ended up restricting the emails from realself as I get too many and it must've stopped me getting comment notifications!

It was most definitely worth it for me. I feel so much happier in my own skin and it has changed me for the better. Have you been ahead with the surgery? Xx
Great job x
You look amazing after the touch up! How are you now - 1 year after touch up, 2 years after operation? xx
