38 Year Old Wife and Mommy of 6, Having my BBL Within 2 Weeks. I Need to Know What else I Should Buy? Fort Lauderdale, FL

UPDATED FROM cucalaboo

It's been exactly a month from my surgery and

$6,500
My stomach is scared with burn makers. My butt is exactly the same it was pre surgery. My Dr said he put 1450 cc......yeah where, because I dont see it. Im almost 6" feet tall about 205lbs, 1450cc would be noticeable on my butt. I regret the decision of going to Strax and having surgery there. Yes the staff was great, the place was super clean, but I wish I would have either picked another more experienced Dr or gone somewhere else. Im.scared for life now with these burn marks on my stomach. Y dont they tell you that the cheap girdles they have there could cause your skin to burn? My Dr didn't even recommend anything to heal the burns, just to stop wearing the girdle!!!!!!! Come on.....really! I never even went back after he lied to me of the amount he transfered and when he didnt even give.me a remedy for my burns. Im sooooooo disappointed and angry right now.

Oh honey i am so sorry! I can tell you this, the garment did not cause those burns. Please start using scar treatment, merdema, or see a dermatologist and get something prescribe that is stronger. i wish i could give you a hug.
Omg.....what do u think caused them? Im so unhappy and so embarrassed about it that I dont even let my husband see me without any cloth on.
@moncherie you're so right. Definitely cannula burns as you can see from 1 day post the blackened skin that will eventually fall off. @cucalaboo I'm also pretty sure he's purposely misleading you calling them faja burns smh. Search for reviews with burns (faja & lipo burns) so you can see the difference. Hope all goes well and thanks for sharing the truth. So tired of women saying they are happy and hiding burns in photos and other imperfections in their review but commenting on others' review how unhappy they are or how the doc burnt them. ugh. Truly a "Realself" review. I applaud your strength. Blessings.
Thank u so much and I appreciate your comment. Unfortunately some of my scars will stay permanently on my stomach, but have lightened up a lot. Im miserable with these scars! I live in MIA, I have a beautiful pool in my house and I live.about 20 minutes away from the beach and unfortunately haven't been able to enjoy it this year due to these darm scars. :( Girls beware and make sure u do your research before u decide whos gonna do your surgery.
Talk to another ps about a tummy tuck. It might get rid of the burn skin. I know that the scar is not the best, but it might be a possible solution!!! Blessings!
Thank you! I really dont want a tummy tuck, im just taking care of the burns and try tp see if I dont stay with any scars. Im so miserable.......u have no idea! Im gonna have a revision hopefully in November to finally get the body I wanted.
U deserve it!!! Be careful with the doc... keep u4 spirit up!!
Im sorry to hear that you are unhappy, didnt get u wanted. I've experienced the same. I just paid off care credit for my first round. I've had an consultation for a 2nd round...apparently I DONT have ENOUGH of fat to transfer. The doctor says I have alot of scar tissue, which he felt while examing me. He couldnt make any promises with the bbl... due to it will be my 2nd round. But he can make my waist smaller, which would make my butt LOOK bigger and IF I have some good fat/not damaged from the 1st surgery, he will inject into my butt. All of that sounds good, but ive paid 4k for the first round then another 5k for the second...which my still leave me DISSATISFIED. I will follow your journey, I will you the best of luck.
What dr did you go to? Are u using the same one for ur second round?
NO, im not using the same dr. My consultation was with dr. Fisher. Im trying to locate Dr. Ghurani...but im NOT having any success.
So sorry that u r not happy with ur results. I'm getting ready to do my BBL and I want to thank you for posting your experience. It's a brave thing to do. It will help others do more research before they have a procedure. It sure makes me think twice and ill b sure to ask more questions.
I thank you for telling the truth about you experience.
Thank u so much! I apologize for not replying sooner, but I have to tell you that this has me so depressed its crazy. My husband argues with me because he says I look fine......but I feel like I will never ever be able to wear anything that shows my.stomach. I still have lumps and my butt is flat in some places. Unfortunately im moving within a few months and have had to postpone me revision. But I hope that before summer of 2015 I can have it done again. I will post updated pic with my scars today.

Sooooo unhappy with my way im looking

And for the scares on my body. I cant believe my husband spend his money on me so I can have burned scars on my stomach and my butt looking the same way it was pre surgery. I cant wait to find my self a great Dr with awesome results. I recommend anyone who is planning on having lipo and bbl to review review review all the Dr credentials and see before and after pics......so the same thing that happened to me doesn't happen to you.

my burns 1 day post op sooooooo sad and unhappy:(

All I got from the dr office was "take off your girdle till it heals, it was probably the girdle that did it." Asked about the amount of CC`s transferred...........responce was 1450cc on each side. Where because I had a butt before surgery and all I see is the bottom and sides filled in a little. Wherez the projection and bigggggg butttttt I paid for!!!!!!! I wanted 4liters taken out not 3 !
