First I would like to thank all the ladies that have commented,
all the input has really helped!! I've been looking into all the doctors that were mentioned on this site. And only a few do hips and only a few have worked on smaller frames. I've thought about Campos and Yily, while their work looks great, I can't get travel that far. I'm from Canada and the thought of going to a foreign country to get a serious surgery scares me! I think the states is the further I'd travel to. There are a lot of Jimmerson advocates on here and his work is amazing but I haven't seen him work on a lot of smaller girls. I'm really leaning towards Salama. He's had a few bad reviews but so have all the other doctors. While I want an amazing result but I have to realize that these surgeons aren't god!! Salama has worked on smaller girls, and some girls with similar frames as me, he does hips (lateral injections), which is good enough for me, and I really like how he contours the waist. I don't want to have unrealistic expectations but I know even if that fat doesn't stick, I'll still look better because he will make my waist small, and I could probably never get it to look that way even with diet and exercise. So I think I've made my decision. I'm still second guessing myself!! Any input from you ladies would be great! Especially Salama vets!

Hey, I'm from Canada and traveling for this surgery is a big deal for me. I dot think I could go further than the States. I don't know why but having surgery in Mexico or DR doesn't sit well with me. I know there have been amazing results from the doctors in those countries but I don't think I could do it. Good luck to you guys! I will be following!

What are lateral injections? does that give the illusion of hips or something?
TT
January 27, 2013
It's injections to the side of the butt, so it looks like hips, look at cupcake1207, and went to Salama, and got some great hips.

Hi, I seem to have the same body type you have. I live in California and met with Dr. Bruno in West Hollywood. He and his staff were amazing. I also do not have any hips and during my consultation he quickly pointed out where he would fill in to give me a better figure. He has amazing reviews and to be honest I'm already kinda sold on him. Pricing is reasonable too, (I was quoted 8k) in my opinion. I know there are other less cost alternatives but work, staff and professionalism speak for themselves. :)

Hey, I'm going to check him out. Has he worked with smaller frames? And does he only do lateral injections like Salama? I'll be following your journey.

Hey Tina !! I been reviewing and considering all the "good" and "bad" things about going to DR and I think I'll go with Salama...quoute $ 8500..plus my ticket and hotel ah and other expenses there...so I'll look for someone maybe interested in go around same time ( July 19 or July 22 ) so we can save some money !!!

January 27, 2013
Hey, it's probably more money (surgery cost, travel, hotel etc) if you go with a doctor from the states than from a doctor from another country. But I don't mind spending a little extra. I think Salama is great, he has had some patients who haven't got the best results but I think that is understandable. He does so many surgeries there will be a small percentage of people that will e unhappy. I'm trying to go in with realistic expectations. But it's still a little scary. I would love to go with you in July but I have too much going on this summer so I'll have to wait until end of August or September. I will be following your journey. Keep me posted!

So I've been researching and researching and researching! And the more info I get the harder my decision gets! So Cynthia from Salama's office said that he doesn't inject fat directly to the hips because it uses up a lot of fat (Im on the smaller side and I don't have a lot of extra fat) and it usually doesn't hold there. Dr. S does lateral injections. I've seen the way he does "hips" on other girls like cupcake1207, and it looks pretty amazing.

But what's actually better, lateral injections or injections straight to the hips?

I have no hips so getting hips is important to me.

Does anyone know what doctors I should look into? I've looked into Dr. Perry as well, but I'm not sold on him. I like Dr. S because he does aggressive lipo and can really make the waist look amazing, and so far the hips I've seen him do look amazing.

Ughhhh this is so hard!

So I had a consult with Dr. Jugenberg, he's one of the only doctors that does bbl's regularly. I have to say, I wasn't impressed with him or his staff. The girls at reception were rude and acted like they were better than everyone else. When I went into the room, his nurse or office manager came in and did most of the consult with me. Her name was Kim I believe and she was the only good thing about the consult. She was super sweet and welcoming. But I didn't want to talk to her I wanted to talk to Dr. Jugenberg. He came in later and I talked to him for about 10 mins, he wasn't going to show me any pictures of his work until I insisted. He was also very rude and dry. His work isn't all that spectacular either, the patients look better than they did before but it's not a very noticeable difference, so I won't be going to him. This hunt for the perfect doctor is so hard and frustrating.

I want a booty but I want hips more, I have no shape and I would love that curvy shape. But I don't know what doctor is best at giving hips. I've seen a few posts from Salama patients that got hips, so for now I'm leaning towards him. LADIES IF YOU KNOW ANY DOCTORS THAT DO HIPS AND A BOOTY PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET ME KNOW!! I want to find a doctor soon so I can book a date!

Anyways that is all for now, I'll update about my bbl journey soon.

Salama does lateral injections not hips. Perry and Salhauzer do great hips and butt. Perry did an awesome job on me and check out reesyvaugn for Salhauzer.

Cynthia from Salamas office told me that fat doesn't last when you put it in the hips, that lateral injections are best and long lasting. This decision is so hard!

Idk know if I would believe that coming from Salamas office. I think it maybe more of a complexity technique issue, IMO. Markmann, Jimerson, perry, salhauzer all do hips.

I'm from Ontario too and I too didn't like the results the doctors give here. I'm going to Campos in MX. Good luck on your journey! I will be following.

I wish we had some great bbl doctors in Ontario! I'm nervous about the traveling. I'd feel more comfortable with a surgeon from my city.
