Hello ladies!!! I wanted to introduce myself to...
$11,600
Hello ladies!!! I wanted to introduce myself to the BBL community. After a week of reading reviews and looking at pics on RS, I decided to schedule a phone consultation with Dr. Jimerson of Atlanta, GA. Before I get into the whole scheduling process let me tell y'all a lil about me. I am 26yo, 5'6", 203lbs and losing! I started the insanity workout program 5 weeks ago and have lost 13lbs so far. I plan to continue working out up until the day of surgery. Being as though I'm in grad school with an expected graduation date of summer 2013 I plan on having my BBL surgery after graduation. I will be saving to pay for the surgery and if for whatever reason I'm unable to save up all the money I will finance the remainder from my credit union.
So I'm not new to plastic surgery :-) approximately 18mo ago (April 2011) I had smartlipo of my abdomen, flanks, iliac crest, and lower back. Needless to say, it was a total FAIL! I am not pleased with the results. Smh that was a waste of $7,000.
My plan is to get the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)/fat grafting with lipo to the abdomen, flanks, entire back, arms and inner&outer thighs. I want a breast lift or breast lift with silicone implants. What do y'all think? Is that too much to have done at one time? I hope not because I'd rather get it done and out the way while I have the support. If I decide to wait to get my breast done I'm afraid my family won't support my decision to go under the knife for a 3rd time. So let me know what y'all think...any advice is welcomed.

Ladies Im considering also getting a Breast...
Ladies Im considering also getting a Breast Augmentation/lift at the time of my bbl procedure. My thoughts is this, if I do end up with dr j a my doctor should I let him do my boobs too? Being as though he specializes in BBLs and does a wonderful job at it. My concern is that he's not as equally skilled in BA. I have viewed some before and after photos which were ok, nothing to be googly eyed over. Of course that's what I want, something worth looking at but I also don't want to keep going under the knife. Help!!! If anyone has had beautiful BA results done by Dr Jimerson, please share. Thanks!

Hey Ms.G, at least you have a whole lot of time to prepare for everything. Have you settled on Jimmerson,..i've seen some of his work and its looks good,.. just heard he was very pricey. But peace of mind and great results is worth it. congrats with the weight loss already,...i did insanity for a few days and OMG,.. its torture,.. so i stopped, lol
November 8, 2012
Hey Laury, no I have not settled on dr J just yet but that's who I'm leaning towards more for the same exact reasons you mention...peace of mind and his amazing results! I have yet to see any other doctor besides, Dr Robles who results are as impeccable as Dr J. Yes he is expensive but that's the price I'll pay to be satisfied and less worried!
November 8, 2012
Thank you lady! Insanity is no joke, it only gets harder! But I'm loving it and the results. I read some doctor reviews that said its not good to lose a lot of weight and have surgery soon after bc the fat cells need to have time to adapt to their new size? Idk so my plan now is to do one more round of insanity to drop 30lbs (by Feb) and do strength training to tighten up for the remainder (5-6) months leading up to my surgery. This way I'll be within or close to my target weight, 170lbs and still have room to lose if necessary.

Thanks for the info!! I was really wondering about that. Perhaps I will try to go real hard for the entire month of November and then maintain for 20 days until my surgery and keep myself hydrated.
November 9, 2012
Ur welcome! 20 days lol maybe you should just try maintaining your current weight but lift weights to tone bc I believe your suppose to maintain your weight for 5-6mo
November 9, 2012
At least that's what I read lol but good luck! Can't wait to see your results
November 8, 2012
My consult is Dec 14, do you know what month you may want to get your surgery done. I am asking because if we are going around same time maybe we can slit on a place to stay just a thought. Just let me know your plans. I am aiming for Feb after Valentines or 3rd week in March
November 8, 2012
Hi mzpretti843! Sorry, the earliest I would be able to have my sx is the middle/end of May bc I'm in school. I'm aiming more towards June-July just to give myself time to prepare everything and work on my body. I sure would love to split the costs with someone when that time come. I'm sure there's someone out here on RS that is going around that time just post a question you'll find them, GL! What procedures are u getting?

Hi MsGradBooty. Welcome to the loony bin lol. j/k. I have received so much support from this site and it's nice to have others to relate to. I am scheduled to have the BBL with Dr. J., which includes lower back, flanks and abs. I will also add lipo to arms, prob inner thighs because I need more fat and fat grafting to hips, in addition to breast implants. I'm not sure what the breast lift entails but he will do the implants at the same time if that's what u want. However, he has asked me twice if I wanted a breast lift which pissed me off a little lol. I'm like what are u trying to say Dr. J? My boobs are not sitting on my chest, but they're not tooooo bad. Anyway, the fact that he asked leads me to believe that it can be done w/BBL. However, even with all of the areas u want lipo'd, I don't think he can remove more than 4 liters of fat total. So you are prob smart by working out and losing as much excess fat as possible so that you can maximize those 4 liters. Especially since he currently charges $900 per extra area. Insanity is a beast but it is definitely a good workout and Sean T (gay or not) is very nice to look at. Good luck!
November 8, 2012
Hey girlie, it's 5 liters for the state of Ga, 4 liters in Fl. Lucky us!!
November 8, 2012
Hi petitephysique, thanx for the welcome. Girl you got me cracking up about the breast life but I feel you. Lol yes I do plan on using all 4 liters too! Just as long as I can get down to 170lbs I'll be fine! I don't want to go no less than tha or else I start looking sickly. Everyone's not meant to be skinny and I am one of them hahaha. I've been thick n curvy all my life but when I was smaller it didn't look right on me so 170lbs (my lowest) fits me! I'm gonna try my hardest to tighten up these arms bc $900 for that is just ridiculous! Anyway girl insanity is the truth! Today I was around some friends I hadn't seen in awhile and they were like 'omg girl your losing so much weight, what what you doin?' Me: umm insanity lol I'm really it's only 15lbs they acting like I was extremely huge and lost a lot of weight. Oh well at least my hard work is starting to show, I'm happy!
November 8, 2012
$900 extra is a bit much, but i don't really have a choice. Most of my weight gain goes to my arms and thighs and I have to squeeze every liter I can get out. I'm sure it will be nowhere close to 5 and prob not even 4. I didn't like myself the way I was in those pics either. It's skinnier than I usually am and all of my clothes were too big. I got sick and lost a lot of weight so it feels good to thicken up again. But I'm realizing that this extra 15lbs of pure fat looks a lot worse than when it was both muscle and fat. If you're doing insanity it prob looks like a huge difference in weight loss to other people because you are also toning.

Hey girl I've had my breast done by Dr.J. I have silicone implants & I'm wonderfully pleased. I don't have a lot of boobie pics on my profile, but you can kinda see. I have my sx on 11/30 for my BBL. Welcome to the sisterhood! #TeamJCurves
November 8, 2012
Hey!!! Ur boobies look GREAT in that shirt! I too want silicone. Do they feel real? How's ur scar? How was ur healing process? How long before the discomfort resided? Sorry for all the questions I'm excited about these! All my life I felt short changes with my boobs. My mom and sister for racks on racks on racks lol and a nice cleavage. Me on the other hand, not so much :-( no cleavage, boobs spread wayyyy apart and droopy! I'm too young for my boobs to look like this without kids smh
November 8, 2012
Thanks girl! No worries with the questions.. Lol That's what we're here for!! Ok so as long as you have some boob fat to start with they will feel real. (I've asked my husband this, he said they feel real) lol. Of course I can feel the implant. My scar healed very well. Just about completely faded, it's only an inch long under the breast. Dr. J said I needed a lift too, but I opted not to do it & the implant pulled them up just fine. The healing process was easy on the boobs. They don't require much. They do there own thing with dropping into place. I did have a TT when I got them, so my mind could have also been on that pain over boob pain.. Lol My sensation came back in a few months.. My sister in law also got her boobs done by Dr. J after I had mine & she loves them & they look good. I know how you feel, my mom & sister has good boobs, but not me. So I bought mine! Lol Hope this helps!
November 8, 2012
Lol yes thank you this is very helpful! Especially the part about u not actually getting the breast lift after he recommended it and they still sit up nice. I'm glad you ladies love your new boobs...hopefully I will too! I'm thinking I may need a mini tummy tuck to get the results I want. My skin isn't exactly loose but I'm thinking after the liposuction the skin will begin to sag. If you dnt mind me asking, how much was your boobs? Did they come with a warranty?
November 8, 2012
Honestly I don't remember what the price was for the breast alone. I believe I paid in the high 9's for everything & I had extra areas lipo'd with a tmy tuck. And this was Jan 2011, I'm sure the prices have changed.
November 8, 2012
Not to take over MsGradBooty's page but I'm also happy to know that the implants lifted your boobs a little. I was thinking they would have the opposite affect. Did he give u the option of having your incision around the nipple instead of under the breast?
November 8, 2012
Hey petitephysique, yes I looked at your pics the implant will raise them just fine!! No he didn't give the option on the incision, but I didn't ask either. He places under the muscle which I believe is why it's there, but it's very hidden & I healed very well. The scar is almost non existent. And I need to correct myself I said silicone implants, they are saline actually. I don't know how I miss spoke on that.
