I have been self conscious about my nose since I was very young, I'm talking 10 years young. I was supposed to get a nose job for my 21st birthday last year but I backed out. I'm not scared of the pain because I feel it will be completely worth it, but I'm scared of going under and not waking up. I was eight years old when my mom decided to get a body sculpture. There was complete panic amongst the nurses when a nurse, my dad, and myself went into the recovery room and found her cold and unconscious. They called an ambulance but finally got her to gain consciousness after about 5 minutes . Of course this was a very traumatizing experience for me. Her surgery was performed here in SoCal.

I am scheduled for a consultation this Friday August 22nd with Dr. Saldana from MedicaNorte in Tijuana, MX. I was recommended by my best friends older sister, she got a breast augmentation and Brazilian butt lift and she looks great. She was recommended by 5+ friends who also went to dr. Saldana and they all look amazing.
I recently got the idea of getting a Brazilian butt lift which I'm now very excited about. I'm in pretty good shape, I stopped going to the gym about a month ago because I've heard I'm probably going to have to gain some weight in order to get the surgery. I had been working out and while I saw amazing results on my arms and legs, I still gave a gut and there was some butt progress but not the progress I would expect from six months of hard work. The area where I saw no progress at all is in between my thighs where I feel like they look worse and I even got stretch marks in that area from squatting.

I was quoted over the phone that it would be around $5000-$5500 for rhinoplasty, Brazilian butt lift and laser hair removal on my legs and underarms.

Welcome and thanks so much for sharing your journey with us.

How did your consultation go?

You should check out the BBL Guides while you're preparing as there's some very useful information in there. The BBL Forum is great for support from the other girls also.

I hope this helps and please do keep us updated with your progress.

Hi. You look great. I wanted to ask did he do open rhinoplasty on you ? And did you get an implant? I saw you mentioned you feel your nose is wide. Was he able to thin it out considerably ? I'm thinking of going to get a nose job with him and you are the only person who reviewed his rhinoplasty. Please help me

I had my consultation yesterday. Two girls around my age, 3wks post op were in the lobby both BBL. They looked amazing! I felt at ease when I noticed all post op patients in that day were from the US and all of them had good things to say.

The doctor recommend a chin implant. I always avoided profile photos so I never really paid attention to my chin, but I most definitely agree with him after he held a mirror up and explained how it would positively affect my face. I took a few photos myself and I'm glad he pointed that out. He said this will add symmetry and assured me it would look great. He also noted that I have the perfect skin for a Brazillian butt lift, very pliable and easy to work with.

I have decided to go with a rhinoplasty, chin implant and Brazillian butt lift. I left the laser hair removal out. I feel like adding that in would be too much and I don't want to add stress to the healing process.

I had blood work done and I'm scheduled for surgery Wednesday September 24th 2014 (two days before my birthday) at 10am I have to be there before 9am. He also said it would take about 4 hours and I would have to be under observance 6-7 hours after surgery, before I'm released. I will be able to get the prescription medication in MX and cross over with no problem, I will also be provided with a sort of "medical fast pass" when crossing over to the US and same goes for following appointments.

He's going to work on my tummy, sides, lower back, and inner thighs then injecting the fat in my butt and create some subtle curves.

I am 5'3 at 130 lbs and blessed with 34D's that I hope will look even better after the BBL.
