Hey you beautiful ladies, I'm back at it again. I have been thinking long and hard about getting a BBL done for quite sometime now. I'm not looking for anything dramatic, just was a complete round not so lumpy backside. So after much prayer, thought, and research I have finally decided to go with Dr. Ortega through Spectrum Aesthetics in Miami. I wanted to have it doing my vacation because I will be taking off two full weeks plus the days that I normally don't have to work. I called Spectrum back today and asked for Emily (who originally responded to my inquiry) made a payment to lock in my date for March 4th. Now I am going to start buying supplies that I need, cause I do not like waiting last minute. And of course I want to make sure I have everything on time. I have already recieved my pre and post op instructions. Now I have to decide where I want to stay. My husband want to tag along to, so I need to decide if I should stay at a recovery house. Do any one have any good ones I can look into? Who gives the best massages that will be more effective for me? Please let me know and send any suggestions my way. I have to decide how I want to travel. I will coming in from Houston. I could fly but I was think renting a mini van so I can lay down and my husband can drive back, but that will be a very long drive. I just want to be comfortable on my return home. Decisions oh my decisions.

You're brave for thinking of having him drive. I'll be getting a BA/BL done in Jan. Think a flight would probably be most comfortable and quick. A few girls on here told me you can request handicap assistance as well. That's what I'm planning on.

Good luck girl! I'm going to book him for April. There are a few recovery houses in Miami, but there hard to find. I'm not sure if they allow guests, but apparently guys stay too. But I would imagine it's mostly half-naked woman running around. Anywho, you can search recovery house Miami on here and find all kinds of info!! Apparently you can buddy up with a girl to split the costs too. Did he tell you how long you should stay in Miami? I'm coming from NYC :)

Thanks love, I'm coming by myself I don't have time for the foolishness. They told me about 4-5 days should be good. I think I'm going to just book a room and call it a day and hire someone to come give me the needed massages while I'm there. It would have been cool if we were was going at same time that shared cost sounds good lol. Keep me posted

Ortega is awesome I just got mine done last Friday. If your husband is coming along a recovery house may not be what you want unless you get a really private room. I stayed at assistance living recovery house and it was full of other ladies who had gotten a procedure done some. May not be fit for someone's man. I think you guys should fly through Miami airport ONLY. Just Make sure you get a boppy pillow thing for going back. Also when you are there purchase a stomach flat board helps with a lot. Bring a jacket, loose dresses, flip flops or house shoes that are easy to put on, and or really loose pants. The follow up visits will be very cold while waiting on Doctor. Spectrum is great also out extra money to the side for massages after surgery I forgot her name that's there but she is amazing as well. You'll love your results and everything I'll upload pics soon

Thanks hun, well we decided I'm going by myself bc my hubby don't want my son to miss too many days of school. I totally understand about some may not be suitable I have a few associates I keep in the closet lol. Okay miami airport only. I'll be booking my flight today since fares are low. If you can find out the massage therapist name is would appreciate it. I think I may just get me room cause I really don't like being around too many ppl. I like privacy. I was planning on staying for about 6-7 days or do think I need that long. Yasssssssss let me see that bootay lmao. Happy healing

Hi hon,

I just 18 days post op and still I have my good days and I have my nada days. I suggest you stay at a RH especially since you're going alone. Honestly your going to need help to get on and off the bed. Nothing in this world would have prepared for this but I guess it's true what they say beauty is pain :-). Just like za_mor booty I use to pass out a lot for the first several days and in my opinion I would stay the 10 days if you can. Besides usually the Dr's want out of town patients to stay the minimum of 10 to 15 days. I did not have my surgery with Ortega but I'm sure you're going to feel what I felt for the first several days.

Best of luck to you and I'm sure you're going to look great.

Thank hun, I had called Emily asked her how long should I stay and she said 7 days and thats exactly what I am going to do. Im not trying to rush to get back and cause more harm than good. I've already booked my flight and I ended finding a RH, Ill be staying with Keyla. I have heard nothing but good about her. I wished I could have had a private room (women can be a trip) but Ill be alright. I thought about what you said and youre right I am going to need the help. If I get a room $1500+ with no help, means no food lol. she doesnt provide all three meals but I know after I have had surgery food was the last thing on my mind. All I wanted was fluid, pills,soup, and sleep.

December 12, 2015

I am waiting to hear back from them. Do they have private rooms? I put a deposit down with Keyla but she said during the month I am getting mine done is really busy so she has no private rooms but she said the house is quite. I can understand she is not trying to miss out on any money lol

Hello doll, I am also from texas (corpus christi ). I flew to miami and it wasn't bad. However, I had no one to go with me. The easiest thing is to get wheelchair assistance at the airport. It is a life saver. I will be going back to miami next month for a different procedure. Good luck!!

Hey Doll, I have decided to go by myself bc my hubby don't want my son to miss too many days for school. So now I'm trying to see what is the best option for me as for as where to stay. Should get a hotel or go to a recovery house. What did you do?

December 11, 2015

I had stayed with a caregiver named magdelina. But, this time Im not sure if I want to get a hotel or go to a rh. I will not be staying with magdelina this time around. Im also thinking of staying at a rh for a few days after surgery and then getting a hotel for remaining days. Only cuz i feel weird ar other people's houses. I will say that having a bbl was very hard on my body. I was very weak and I kept passing out. So, I would definitely recommend getting a caregiver or going to a rh at least for the first days cuz u don't know how ur body is going to take it. I really thought I was so prepared and I was in my mind. But my body was not!!

Hello Ladies. When you stay in a RH, can your husband stay with you?

A new life recovery you can have a guest when you get a private room.

Recovery house

dangerouslybeautifulDecember 12, 2015

Okay I have booked my flight and placed the deposit down for Keyla Recovery house. I have been reading nothing but good about her. I had contacted, Assisted Living they responded back once and Cosmic Care I am still waiting to hear back from. I didnt want to keep waiting and end up with no where to go. I know that I will need help and if I was to get a hotel I would still need to hire help so I may as well be at an recovery house. Do anyone know of a good RH that offer private rooms? Now I am going to start on my list. Where can I get a detailed list from? Any suggestions of other things I should get and benefit from. TTyl later

Hey ladies did anyone get massages while recovering at Keyla's from the lady she mentions on her website. I want to make sure while I'm there I get the best and most effective lymphatic massages.

I got massages from a lady with short blonde hair her name starts with a Y.... She is a lifesaver! Dont let anyone else touch you!

dangerouslybeautiful

December 22, 2015

Do you have her info?

latinaqueen512

December 22, 2015

I don't. But she is the only one who does the massages right at spectrum. If you call and ask for the lady with the short blonde hair they will schedule you with her! It was $135 for 3 massages and they helped significantly! My swelling went down super quick. Right now I'm 9 days post op and still have pain from lipo, but it has gotten so much better... Especially because of her massages. Unfortunately I'm not in Miami right now so I can't continue with them but once I get back I will do more massgaes.

December 22, 2015

Okay cool. I am only going to be at the RH for the first 3 days, then I have a room around the corner from spectrum. I need to start looking for somebody here for when I get back home.
