WORTH IT

Hello all, am 5.5ft tall and weigh 145 pounds. my main reason for choosing BBL is to even out my butt and hopefully lose the stubborn belly fat for good.

I have always been active since my teen years and when i stopped training the weight went up, though it was not so noticeable at first. guess it does have something to do with age as well.
So i have recently lost 10pounds coz i also dont want to have too many areas lipoed to look how i want. but clearly the belly stays!! am not looking to have a bigger butt just to make the shape nicer. my measurements are now 34-28-41. hopefully i will get to have a smaller waistline since thats where the problem lies. the fat graft to the butt will be a bonus.
i have been looking forward to this procedure for almost a year now, and finally the time has come.
I will be sharing with you my journey and my post surgery pictures as well. That is what i owe this forum since this is where i got to find out about BBL.
I want to thank all the ladies who come and share their experiences on here, it helped me make this good decision.

So ladies i leave for Tijuana in two days, this week has been very hectic. i have all my things packed, which is pretty much the same as what everybody else is carrying along. Am travelling early because my flight time will be around 23hrs from Germany. At least i will be able to rest before my surgery on the 16th. I hope the big time difference doesnt mess that up.
i need some advice on one thing though, to lipo my inner thighs, or not. any info will be appreciated.

Hi, thanks for the concern. i read this a year ago as i was researching him. That story doesnt give details of what may have killed that woman, i personally have never heard of someone dying due to just lipo alone. My guess is that she may have had underlying issues even before the surgery that had not been properly addressed.
I, nevertheless still chose to go with Campos because i believe that it is the patients responsibility to care for their body way before the surgery.
besides, there haven`t been any other such incidences since that time as far as i know.
Gal, death occurs anywhere, anytime, not necessarily being triggered. Mishaps can happen with any doctor. One just prays for God`s protection.
so dont be fearful of a doc if you think he can give you the results you are looking for.
There`s lots of such mishaps that occur but dont get spoken or written about.

Hey Girl im a Campos patient too and if you read further the girl who died did not even go to Campos the guy that commented just brought his experience up the death was not related to Campos

Hi lisalopes, From what I can see, my opinion is No to Lipo your inner thighs. They look Slim, but it all comes down to how YOU feel about ur body. If u are traveling so far and u r unhappy with ur Thighs then do it. If its gonna make u feel more better than u shld do it. I'm excited for u! I will be praying for your travel, surgery and healing! Remembr do what makes u happy!

Thank you gal, the worry about the thighs comes when i read that you gain lots of weight in the areas that are not lipoed. perhaps i may wait to hear what the doc recommends coz i train them with weights, but the inner part just stays kinda jiggly and i dont like the way they stick together. The other thing is i heard/read that the skin may not go back entirely, or the thighs may look uneven, idk, there`s too many issues with thigh lipo. I will wait until the pre-op consult, thanks again for your advice.

I also have read that were ever u hve lipoed fat usually doesn't come back to those places. I def need my inner thighs lipoed but I'm in the process of losing weight for my sx in August so I'm gonna wait n see if I lose any of this flab in my inner thighs. I'm walking evry morning, dancing zumba twice a week n doing cardio 4 times a week. I am also scared to end up with uneven legs. I do like my legs now but I hve this darn area that won't tone up.

hard decision to make. for me i just feel like the damn thighs will explode if they dont get lipoed! well, i will wait for my turn.

Hey lisa! R thighs r similar mine may be alil thicker....but I'm thinking by ur pics ur thights r fine slender but thick where it counts! But u know ur body and if thigh lipo is something u want go for it! I myself well, I'm tryn my best to sort of tone my thighs without burning away the fat I need for my bbl. But urs look great, who wants extra slim legs with a nice round booty? Not me! We gotta have alil thickness to go with these new bootys! Lol! Just my opinion hun hope this helps!
