Pantoja or Campos Struggling...lady's/dolls Please Help - Tijuana, Mexico

Hey lady's/dolls thanx for reading my post. So I'm in a predicament I have already placed my deposit for Pantoja but I'm having second thoughts.
Stats:
Height:5'3"
Weight:140lbs
So here are my expectations/outcome goals: Ever since I could remember I've had this pooch of fat in lower abdomen. Lady's I'm a little over weight but not Fat, or at least I've never looked at myself like that, even at 115lbs I had this pooch of darn fat. So my goal is to once and for all Destroy the Enemy (the pooch) lol I'm such a drama llama. Yes! Main goal. Secondly I have this awful deposit of fat in my armpit area it drives me bonkers,Get rid of that also. Third my arms, no matter how hard I work out at the gym my arms always look like ham legs( or ham thighs) you catch my drift. Overal I want to slim down the upper portion of my body. Because I have an inverted triangle shape body(having breast augmentation 3years ago didn't help the situation, I look too heavy)this would ultimately add some homeostasis to the situation.
That was my original goal.I must start by saying, I'm not a big butt person myself. I've managed to do just find in the world with my little butt. However, being that I'm dating a butt man. Why not please my man a little. Since,for the same price in the US maybe even less I'll get to my quotes later. I can get lipo and add a little junk to my trunk.
This little idea led to this insanity. I on this forum like an SVU detective( I apologize if you don't get the reference) in on here a lot! I can't make up my mind Campos or Pantoja! Even though I've made my deposit for Pantoja. I'm a perfectionist and I'm scared my butt won't have enough shape with Pantoja.
Okay so a few questions for you lady's who have had a BBL.
1) did your results last? How long lipo? And BBL?
Side note:I've heard they don't last and I've heard they do. I asked Angie if Dr.pantoja injects the fat under the muscle or on top she said both. When I asked Dr.Pantoja he said just above. Where I heard that Dr.Campos injects right under the butt muscle. I'm confused,does this matter.
2) were you happy with your results?

I just got my bbl with dr p 3 months ago love my new waist but not 100% in love with but felt I could have been better to top it off I got left with a smaller but cheek which I'm not happy about will almost be 3 months now waiting till six months to see how he can fix this overall I'm about 70% satisfied
November 16, 2015
Did you check out Campos? Or did you just check out pantoja?
November 16, 2015
Also did you start with one butt cheek smaller than the other did you tell him? Or did you think he would notice he had to inject more into one than the other? That kind of scares me it seems like he's not paying attention to details.

November 18, 2015
Yes I did start with a smaller cheek and I did let him know eight before I had the sx done, he disagreed it was smaller but I insisted to him so of course I thought he was going to fix this since I clearly adressed this ro him right before I went into the sx room, well at first I didn't consider campos cause I had read bad things about how other girls turned out and how he doesn't take responsibility if anything goes wrong, but now I'm thinking of round 2 considering campos but not sure yet I guess I'm going to wait till my 6 months to see what he has to say hopefully he takes responsibility ..my husband was in the room with me when I adressed this issue, so I'm really hoping he can fix this :( good luck girl!
November 18, 2015
Aww thanx for your response. I'm having such a hard time deciding. I wish I had more support from family and friends so many people are telling me not to do it. It's so discouraging, I really wish I had more support :(
November 18, 2015
Last question lol. Did you ask him to lipo your arms? If so did he do it? I really want to get lipo in my arms and armpit fat, but I read somewhere that he forgot to lipo those areas for someone lol how did he forget???

Yes arms included in package, but doesn't look like nothing was done I don't see a difference at all , I didnt have support from my family either all I had was my hubby ..they told me not to go so many times but I disnt it anyways , even though I didn't get the results I wanted I'm still happy has been a differnce regardless I don't regret it at all...hoping fory tt and ba this year..pantoja is safe and takes very good care of patients I don't complain about that at all...but like I said I do wish he would have paid more attention to my behind the smaller cheek...

I had no incisions from the bottom live I had surgery with him and a girlfriend of mine did to and we only had incision on the top nothing on the bottom
November 18, 2015
Lol. Omg I'm talking about the "technique" in which the fat is inserted either into the muscle layer or on top where the (adipose) fat layer of the skin is!

From what I've read it is not, but can be used towards another visit with him....
BTW why are you getting cold feet??? I have my consultation with him on Thursday. I just can't decide between him or Campos.
November 17, 2015

A little, you know the difference in patient care and communication between patients and staff is like night and day in comparison Pantoja has the best staff!

Aww thanks for the positive vibes. Yes I know the reason I chose Pantoja is because I'm a nurse and I was so impressed by his after care, it means a lot that he cares enough to keep you 24hrs. However I saw this bad lipo job and it made me scared. I do have to say I've also seen good lipo procedures by him :/ this is hard.

The good on pantoja definitely outweighs the bad that is why I 1st chose him , and he really cares about the patients safety, I just wish he would of filled my right cheek up equally,
November 18, 2015
Did you get lipo how did you like it? Was it even? I know you said one cheek was bigger than the other but overall did you like the shape of your butt?

Hi! I'm scheduled for BBL with Dr. P on 12/17/15. I went for a consultation on 11/7/15, and I have to say he has a phenomenal personality. I've seen his work only through RealSelf and something just clicked in reaching out to him. I also reached out to Dr. Campos 3 times and I NEVER got a reply or response for a quote. Needless to say, the staff at Dr. P's have been AMAZING during the communication process. Anyway, after finishing my consultation with Dr. P, I saw a patient 8 days post-op in his office who looked phenomenal. He snatched her waist and gave her a perky and round butt. She looked like a perfect little hourglass. This just confirmed everything for me. Regardless, I say go with what you feel in your heart. Dr. P isn't for everyone, but I know he is for me. Surgery is something major, so take some time and think about it. Even if that means getting quotes from other doctors or maybe postponing until you feel ready. I haven't updated my profile yet, but I will soon. But reach out if you ever need some feedback! I'll pray for some mental clarity for you.

That's very sweet of you thank you, I will follow your post as well.

This is extremely uncomfortable

Babylifter
Not only is this extremely uncomfortable for me but it's really embarrassing. I can't even believe I'm doing this. I'm so self conscience I don't even like my boyfriend looking at me naked. I have huge body issues. But I think this will give you a good idea of why I'm having this surgery and hopefully it serves as a good before and after comparison. I also have to say the angles didn't help because I don't have a lot of experience taking pictures of myself.
