I went in for my BBL Wednesday. Im a little nervous after finding out I only have 340 cc's in each cheek. Im 5'9 and 175lbs and have med to large frame. I truly like my doctor and the staff. The first day I really need assistance and thank goodness for a friend that helped me. I will be posting pics soon. I definitely see my contoured body shaping but just worried about my butt projection. I will wait to see further results before naming or rating my doctor.

Wednesday, tomorrow I go in for my week check up. Im so disappointed in my flat butt. Ive researched and read about women getting more ccs and had less fat than myself. I cant wait until 6 months so I can get revisions.
Ive been active, walking a lot. My legs are really swollen. I have a lot of bruising in my thigh and upper legs. I swear I walk like a pregnant woman. lol. I bought arnica gel and tablets so I hope they are working. My appetite is back in full swing, ugh! Just posted pics of post surgery I will get copies of my pre surgery shots from doc due to the ones I had I took before I lost 15 lbs. Update after doctor visit

Do you have any before pics? That way we can see the difference, I think you will see it fluff and like your results, but I can understand you wanting more, did your ps tell you why they only put that amount of ccs?

Happy recovery to you. I hope you will continue to be patient and keep your head up, it will fluff and pop at the right time. I imagine its difficult but the results will be noticed.

Finally One week. The pain is bearable. I still have swollen feet due to getting lipo of the knees, the blood drained downwards. I am closer to saying NOT Worth it! I just feel I paid too much money not to at least have at least half of the body I wanted. I see too many women on here at the same time frame Im at with more visible differences in contouring, projection etc. I think its important for Doctors to take into consideration the height/weight of the client. Its clear that at 5'9 I had to at least have 500-600 cc to see a noticeable difference. Doctor should also note areas that should be contoured to make booty pop. My back thigh clearly should've been liposuctioned. So everyday I go thru this agony I get more teed off that I have to find the time to go through it one more time, ugh!

Hi hun sorry to hear about ur disappointment... I ve also been nervous about something like this happening to me. I m 5'7 165 n also have a med/lg frame.. my surgury is this friday.. I'm definitely telling my doc to at least put 500 to 600 cc n if I don't have it to forget it n just do the lipo cause I'm not going to go thru all the pain for no results.. I asked if I should gain wei
April 22, 2013
Weight n they said no that I will be fine. I ve seen lots of before n after n I love the results..hopefully I ll have ssuccess. . Good luck to u on the rest of ur journey n hopefull when ur swelling goes down u ll see more results. .. try to stay away from salt n sugar for the next two weeks n that will definitely help with the swelling...

I feel compelled to inform taller women to make sure they get the required cc's to be worth while. Petite women might be okay with a smaller number but clearly not larger frame women
April 22, 2013
I agree. However CCs look different on different people. I know some with 1000ccs and they look flat. I wouldn't suggest anything lower than 800-900 to make a difference though.
April 22, 2013
Im curious to what you told your doc to give you? The majority of women I know have been very specific of what they told their they wanted and a lot of the Cali dr's still don't get it. If you want a butt then ask for big and if its too big then work it off. I would hate to spend that much and only get 350CC's not worth 8500 in my opinion. Have you checked out the ATL doctors?
April 22, 2013
My stupidity I didnt ask for a certain amount. I knew I had enough fat to have a
decent buttock. I had a lot of different areas lipo'd so I didnt think I would have low cc's issues. From what I read it was women with low body fat that had issues with low cc count. I havent checked with ATL docs. I dont want just a big booty and not the rest of my body contoured. I see a lot of women complaining about the lack of body contouring from docs in that region..
April 23, 2013
I'm sorry you are not happy. I agree with that bbl should be the whole body not just the butt. Contouring is key. For what we pay it is not unreasonable. Gl
April 22, 2013
regardless if you did or did not ask for a specific amount, you definitly didn't want to come out an look the same as pre-op. However, Dont be too discouraged girl. Its still very early and although 350ccs is very minimal you never know once the swell goes away, in combination with the new liposuctioned areas it may improve your shape drastically. If you are not happy with the final results have you discussed a revision? WHat made you chose this Dr ?
April 23, 2013
Ready exactly I didn't want the same butt I went in with. I had 2 docs in mind. The first was 18, 000 needless to say out of price range..but after I left deposit I found Dr. Hughes that is doing some good work here. I was in a time crunch for surgery so I kept the date. I will tell you privately his name and you can also see his work, impressive I thought.
April 23, 2013
My exact fear and I have to ask, did you get to speak with him prior to the surgery? Too late for me now, I put the deposit, but would like to know if you get to talk about details at all.
April 23, 2013
Yes I talked with him. He assured me he would use as much fat as he could. Most of the pics of his previous patients had 450 cc and higher so I didn't feel that would be an issue. The person after me got 600. Then i ran across another patient personal profile that also got 600 with less fat than me so I'm still baffled why me!
April 23, 2013
I was noticing that too. I have a feeling your taking about my doctor. I am going to ask to see him again to discuss the procedure again.
