$9,400
I went to my consultation on Monday, scheduled my surgery on Wednesday's two weeks from then, and my surgery date is October 12th. I haven't met my surgeon yet, but may reconsider getting my surgery else where. After doing my research, I see that my surgery, quoted for 9400$ is much more expensive, it being less than half in the DR(Dominican republic). Because if I can save 3000$ by flying somewhere, I'd still save 2500$ after a plane ticket. It's nothing personal, just the rational thing to do. I chose to go outside of the New Orleans area to avoid being over charged. If my surgeon doesn't negotiate on the price I'll have to find a new doctor :(. I first heard of body sculpting in December and dreamed about it! Never did I think I'd be getting a bbl so soon! In may I decided to make a lifestyle change and have lost 70lbs since, and have only stopped since I'm getting surgery! I lost all the weight doing my parents local weight loss program! I lost it naturally using HCG. I've since kept my healthy lifestyle and continue to drop weight !! I have never had a but, not even in my thinner days, and since I have all this extra weight I might as well do it now! I also would like to surgery so I can start dancing to fund an entrepreneurship. This surgery will help me be more confident! I'm also planning a breast reduction in the near future. I have 38HH breasts, (previously 40N) and my back and shoulders are killing me. I initially wanted to do both surgeries simultaneously and use the fat from my boobs for my new butt, but was informed that wasn't possible. So now, I'll have two surgeries but kill 3 birds with 2 stones. I will post an update after my pre op on Tuesday. I would like an apple bottom, my dream is to have an hourglass shape. Take all the fat from my inner thighs, upper and lower abdomen, my entire back and hips, and shape me so that my behind juts out from my lower back naturally and have a beautiful curve that silhouettes into a perfect apple shape! Wish me luck!

How did you lose all the weight? What is HCG?

November 11, 2016
Hcg is a natural hormone that pregnant women produce. My parents are local distributors in the.metairie/New Orleans area. Aj healthy lifestyles.com is their website. That's how I lost all the weight. They offer the product and a cook book with receipes and instructions on how to follow the diet and be successful! You have to make a lifestyle change, but what's nice about their program is it makes it an easy transition. With the right mind set and support system it's a piece of cake. No pun intended lol. Check it out and see if you think it'll be good for you. I only got off because I decided to do this surgery. I lost 70lbs since the beg of May to the middle of September!

Did you get your surgery done?
I had my BBL done in Miami with Dr. Rodriguez (AKA MagicMike)
Recommended, everyone's body is different.
I'm interested to go back for more butt

7 days pre
Rough day today.
I finally met Dr. Weiler at my pre-op today, and no surprise, he's a nice guy. I cancelled and eventually rebooked my surgery for the same date. I was very upset about the price, but realistically, now I'm paying for convenience(because I want it sooner than later). I think Dr. Weiler will do great with my body. Just a LOT disheartened that he really didn't work on the price with me. In the end, I was given 500$ off, but still paid 2,000$ more for the tummy tuck I was previously quoted 6k for. That definitely seemed much more reasonable for what I needed, but I'm still disappointed that I'm paying so much for my bbl. My surgery is a week from tomorrow, so the procedures are now paid in full and there's no going back, just to calm my nerves until then.

You are going to look fabulous - so are you getting a tummy tuck too ?
How are you going to sleep ? When you do a bbl you have to be on your stomach - or you will loose the fat . It happened to my friend . I was going to do my breast and bbl but my friend talked me out of it and said its better to stage it so you don't compromise results .
Plus long surgery is more Risky ..

Hey brina, I'm getting a mini tummy tuck, because I haven't had kids. Basically that just doesn't include the muscles being sewn together, my skin will just be moved and tightened. I initially wanted my breast reduction and bbl at the same time to swap the fat but found out you cannot use breast fat for a bbl. I had more weight to lose so I have it in my abdomen and back to move. I'm getting both the mini tt and the bbl on Wednesday. Apparently it's gonna be no big deal to sleep on my stomach after my procedure on both sides. I'm gonna stay off my butt for 6 months if I have to

1 of your pics looks like you were laying on tour tummy, how did that work out for you?

November 6, 2016
Hi neisha! Because I had both procedures done, I slept on my tummy for maybe the first week or so, and then was directed by my PA tO start sleeping on my sides, hips and flanks. The drugs helped me that first week because it was very uncomfortable especially with my drains still in, I flipped a lot throughout the night from side to side and back onto my tummy. When id get a few hours of sleep and be up from the pain. I think the foam donut is a great idea. An inner tube of sorts. I wish I had tried it, but don't know how easy it would be to manage. I hope that it works out smashingly for you and that you are comfortable. One procedure is no joke, so doing both is a BIG DEAL. I could not have done it without my fiancé. He was a big help! Good luck to you girlfriend !
November 7, 2016
Thanks so much, my babez will fit the donut hole in my electrical recliner where I will probably be sleeping the first 1-2 months. Please share any tips in any form that were helpful,

November 7, 2016
My parents gave me a recliner chair (like lounger for tanning) for me to be able to cut the butt out of, but I never did do it. I thought for sure I wouldn't be able to survive without being able to sit but I lounge on my side a lot. Lol thank goodness I've been able to just be home, not work and stay in bed. You will be EXHAUSTED! But do your best to move around as much as you can. Even if you are just up eating a fruit and side stepping. Anything helps. Also, sleeping on my tummy, I had a body pillow I would sleep on that first week, that helped a lot! When is your surgery ?
November 7, 2016
January 12th. I'm only off of work for 10 days. How long did you take off?

November 7, 2016
I am super lucky to not have to work! I'm gonna start dancing the 16th of this month, I explained all that when I first posted my review, of why I decided to do the procedure when I did, oct 12th, Wednesday will be 4 weeks post op, and I am just now feeling like I could go back to work. I funded it with care credit, and plan to pay it off within 6 months. , I'm paying for an entrepreneurship for my fiancé and I. We're morticians. I definitely could not have work before two weeks. For having both procedures, I've been told I healed fast. Everyone is different! Good luck! January is right around the corner!
November 7, 2016
Thanks so much, I gotta read your journey so I can get hip.
Hope you make all the money dancing with that new body:):)

Oh girlfriend I cannot wait! It is right around the corner!!! Thank you for the well wishes!!!! I will be keeping up with you! Good luck!!!

I'll be getting both, I plan to sleep on a recliner with a foam donut hole under my butt.

Also really really consider if the risk is worth it. I've seen lumps and boils and horrible things on the sides and cheeks from (maybe assuming pressure, who really knows because everyone is different) I'm almost 4 weeks post op and do not sit or lay on my butt at all. Wear my garment 24/7 except to shower now per permission. I won't take any unnecessary risks!

4 days post
4 days post op.
1st pic is before.
2nd&3rd is 3 days post op in garment (showing bruising under boobs)
And fourth is 4 days post op laying on my tummy.
My butt looks a little too flat for me, but I think If I do everything like I'm supposed to it will eventually mold like it's supposed to.
Today is day 1 of weaning off meds.
Day 1 pain came from my breasts and bruising under from lipo.
Now it is centralized in my abdomen and thighs that had all the lipo.

You look great! Where did you get your faja from?

October 17, 2016
Hi tiya, my doctor provided my garment, so I'm not too sure. One of the women in his office had a bbl by him and said that she HATED this garment, I however don't mind it at all. The seam on the butt is never right and I have to bathe in this i.e. Never take it off. But it's a really great garment, and I'm able to attatch my drains to my bralette too !



October 18, 2016
Hey, how is everything? Are you noticing a difference, and do you have projection? Are you in any type of pain?

October 18, 2016
Starting weaning off of pain meds yesterday and think I over did it. Since I also had the tt it's hard to say. I am still in pain. Really uncomfortable trying to find comfortable laying positions. My thighs are swollen from lipo and bruised. I go in tomorrow for my 1 week post op and get the drains and sutures out, my butt still looks flat to me but I'm assuming that that will take a few weeks to show a change. Abdomen is still swollen from lipo, but I'm being patient, every day it gets a little better.
October 18, 2016
I was hoping you would say that you can see projection in your butt. I hope you feel bettter.

October 21, 2016
Tiya, clearpointmedical.com is where my garment is from. It's 120$ I believe.
October 17, 2016
Omg! Girl!!! You are now well endowed up north and down south!!! Love your boobs and that new curvy waist and big bad a$$!!!!

Keep us posted!
