I have been wanting this for over 10 years now....

I have been wanting this for over 10 years now. I'm 30 with two kids. Im 5'4' and 155 pounds. I had my youngest when I was 19 and my second child 1 1/2 years ago. I gained 65 pounds with each pregnancy. I had c-sections with both babies. After my first child I worked really hard to get in shape and I lost about 80 pounds in 4 months! I got down to 105 pounds but unfortunately no matter how many sit ups I did I still had a belly and stretchmarks. Now that the baby shop is closed I'm ready!

After doing LOTS of research I decided to go with Dr. Behmand. His before and afters are really great and I just had a good feeling about him. I set up a consultation and once I met him I knew that I would be in good hands. He really took the time to make me feel comfortable. The girls who work there are great too!

So I have decided to have a tummy tuck, lipo of the back and flanks and a Brazilian butt lift. My surgery is scheduled for November 12th. 3 months from yesterday! I am hoping to lose 15 pounds before surgery. I'm so excited!

Welcome to the community.  You are 105 pounds and want to drop 15 more?    That is pretty tiny, be careful and stay healthy.  I know what you mean about the tummy skin though.  That will not go away on it's own.  I am sure you are going to love your results.

No, I use to be 105. Now I'm 155. Thanks for the welcome :)

You are going to be so happy with your results! Dr. B is amazing. I had similar surgery, but my flanks were stretched so bad, I had a circumferential incision (LBL) with a BBL to preserve the fullness of my butt. I need to update my review with current pictures because the results continue to improve. My summer's just gotten crazy and I haven't taken the time to do it.

You look amazing!! How do you like the bbl? That's the one thing I keep going back and forth on. From what I can see yours looks really good! :)

I'm glad I did it. A side effect of LBL is a flat butt and that's something I wasn't willing to live with. He was able to lift mine through the LBL, improve the shape, and not improve the shape without it flattening out at all. The only thing is the first few days of recovery were pretty rough not being able to lay on your stomach or back.

One week left! Best wishes for a fast recovery and beautiful outcome!! No doubt your in good hands. After 5 years of research and 8 consultations with various doctors, Dr. Behmand is by far my favorite. I think you made a great decision. I may schedule mine for December or early January.

Thanks so much for the encouragement! Yeah dr Behmand is the best. I feel very confident with my decision. I just hope that my husband survives with both kids! :)

Your so welcome! And I bet your husband will survive, time flies and sooner than he knows it he will have one hot wifey all to himself. It might help to remind him of that.

I'm so ready to get this done. I'm not nervous about the surgery, I'm just worried about my kids while i'm in recovery. My 16 month old weighs 32 pounds! It's going to be hard not being able to pick him up for a couple weeks :( He's such a mama's boy.

I'm getting so excited though! I'm starting to get all my supplies. I found a lift recliner for $20 on craigslist. My biggest concern is how I'm going to avoid sitting for a couple weeks. I live about 3 hours away from the surgery center so I don't know how to avoid it in the car. Any tips would be much appreciated! :)

Get two large towels,fold in half and roll each one up separately super tight and put a rubber band on the end of each side. So four rubber bands all together. Put one of the rolled up towels under your thighs and one in the small of your back. Viola! Your booty will barely touch the seat.

Yay! Im so excited!! Dr Behmand is so amazing! He put me right at ease. Everyone at the surgery center was really nice as well. I feel so blessed to have found such a caring and talented dr. I can't wait to see the results! The ride home took a about 3 hours and was uncomfortable but dr Behmand was well worth the drive. I'll post pics soon :)

Congratulations!!!! You did it!! Yay!!!! I cant wait to see your pics. I am going to see him tomorrow for my second consultation. Happy healing!!

Thanks so much! I'm dying to see my result but I know that I shouldn't take off my compression garment yet. Good luck at the consult tomorrow. I really think he's the best surgeon around! :)
November 13, 2014
Thanks, I think so too. And I think its a good idea to keep the compression garment on for as long as he says. Some people take them off to soon and wonder why things didn't turn out right. I can imagine the anticipation though.
