Dr. T is the best! I have no cons, only pros!
Brazilian Butt Lift - 1 day post-op
I have no cons, only pros! From the first time I met Dr. T and Monika I was treating like a priority and with much professionalism and respect. After consulting with 3 other doctors was starting to doubt I'd find a doctor that was a great fit for me. But upon what felt like a never ending search I ran across Dr. T's profile on americanboardcosmeticsurgery.org and I was instantly drawn to his profile! I set up a consult, a pre op and yesterday 5/07/19 was my Ms. New Booty Day!!! I am officially a Tempting Truong Beaute! Dr. T, Karen, and Nikki all treated me so well and allowed me to vlog the entire meet, check out my YouTube Channel at Franky Cha the video of my surgery date will be uploaded 5/11/19! They are the bomb.com delivery dream results while remaining extremely professional and making you feel valued and comfortable! Thank you all for being so awesome!
Amazing Surgery Experience!!!
Brazilian Butt Lift - 1 day post-op
Today I had surgery for Brazilian Butt Lift!!! The fact that I am functioning enough to be online, writing a review at midnight says a lot about my recovery.
I do want to start off by saying that I am a very active person and not overweight. I work out 5-6 days a week, I train with a personal trainer 2-3 days every week consistently for the past full year, and I eat fairly healthy. This is important to know because what I feel for "pain" is very comparable to the soreness that I feel after a very intense work out. This is why for me, the recovery has been very comfortable and tolerable because my body is use to being in pain. Quite frankly I have been in more pain recovering from a work out than from this surgery so far. My fitness and health journey began a little over a year ago when I was introduced to Dr. Truong, Dr.Ardijar, and Dr. Batista. The average person who just underwent a surgical procedure would either be sleeping, medicated on pain killers, or just resting/recovering. I'm forcing myself to lay down and relax because I am too energized and want to be up and moving, but I know I should be taking it easy (my surgery was later in the day perhaps around 2-2:30 pm). The only thing I felt when I got home was dizziness and minor nausea. I took one Zofran which was prescribed for nausea and after about 10-15 min later I felt absolutely nothing! (I only had to take it once.) I took one only pill (oxycodone) at 10:00pm not because I was in excruciating pain, but because I was hoping it would put me to sleep. Clearly it had no effect on me because I am wide awake and full of energy, however, it helped relax my muscles. My energy may be contributed to my excitement and satisfaction of my experience today.
I will be realistic and say that I was not in my pain necessarily, I refer to it more as discomfort that is very tolerable for me (I tend to have a high pain tolerance). Perhaps I may still be numb from the anesthesia or as I described above with the comparison of my workouts so I will update my experience tomorrow.
Updated on 30 Mar 2019: I refrained from updating every day because some days you feel the exact same way which was the case for my 2nd and 3rd day. Definitely expect day 2 and 3 to be the worst. I was a little too confident in my first review and can confirm that I was still numb from the anesthesia. The following morning I felt the pain. I still found it tolerable and comparable to soreness from exercise just a lot more intense. Waking up and getting up is hands down the hardest part of the recovery process. I took 1 Percocet every 5 hours and eased off by the evening and switched to extra strength Tylenol. Day 3 I took Tylenol only in the morning and by evening-night time I eliminated any medication for pain.
Today is day 4 and I feel so much better still rough in the morning but no pain medication is required. I left the house for the first time and used my BBL pillow for the first time as well, but I couldn't sit comfortably in the passengers seat. I wasn't in pain but I was very uncomfortable because I had to use my arms to hold myself up to prevent my butt from hitting the seat or sinking in so I layed down in the back seat for the remainder of my commute. I will experiment again tomorrow in hopes of having a little more success.
Updated on 25 Jun 2019: Today I hit my 3-month post-surgery date and I am happier than ever! I feel almost 100% like myself. On occasion, there is still some minor lower back ache and I can still feel my abdomen a little hard from the scar tissue but I am thoroughly prepared to expect minor irregularities until 6 months-1 full year. I look great and the compliments just keep coming. I started working out after 2 weeks, and by 1 month I had very little to no restrictions. I just can't rave enough about Dr. Truong and his wonderful staff.
I Had a Very Positive Experience. No Regrets!
Brazilian Butt Lift
Overall, a positive experience. Everyone is very professional and helpful. The ladies in the office are considerate and aware of my self image and did their best to make sure I was comfortable before and after my procedure.
Beyond happy with my experience and results!
Brazilian Butt Lift - 14 days post-op
I want to start my review by saying "WOW!" Going into my consultation I felt nervous. Everyone at Chicago breast and body made me feel comfortable and knowledgeable about my surgery. I had initially went in for consult for a breast augmentation with plans in the near future to having a BBL. Although those were my plans I consistently went back and forth with my decision. I wanted the small waist with a butt but I also wanted the busty chest. Either way I knew I wanted both surgery's. I just knew I'd see a bigger difference in my figure if I had gotten a BBL. So I scheduled my BBL!!! Everyone at the surgery center was so wonderful and comforting. The day of surgery I had decided I wanted lipo of the moms as well. Again, everyone was so lenient with that last min add on. My healing process was less painful than I imagined. I returned to work 5 days after my surgery. I had soreness mostly in the abdomen. I felt like I hit the gym and did a ton of sit ups but it was totally tolerable with extra strength Tylenol. My mons area was probably the most painful area during my recovery. At one point in the healing process I felt like I had a bit of fluid buildup there. When I went in for my follow up visit, Dr. Truong did drain a little fluid but most of it was just swelling. I'm about 2 weeks out post op and most of my pain is gone. Mons is still a little tender. I still haven't sat, it's been recommended not to sit for about 3-6 weeks. All I can say is, I can't wait to sit!! That has probably been the hardest part of it all.
I highly recommend Dr. Truong. I'm happy with my experience and so so happy with my results! He will definitely be seeing me again for my breast augmentation!
Surgery date set!!
Brazilian Butt Lift - 23 months post-op
My surgery date is all set for November 6th. I am so excited. When I went for consultation, everyone was so nice. Monika was amazing! She has been in contact with me ever since my consultation October 4th! I must admit I was nervous that I was not going to have enough fat. I am 5'1" about 130 pounds so I wasn't sure if I needed to gain weight or not. From speaking to Monika she assured me that Dr. T is amazing and that his lipo is aggressive so that he can get the most fat. My overall experience so far has been great! I cannot wait to see what my results will look like. I received my prescriptions the same day as my consultation and I have scheduled my lipo work next week. Can't wait!
Updated on 11 Dec 2018: Today marks my 5 week post op with DrT. I am very pleased with my results so far. I will try to explain my 5 week progress, but I know I will forget some things so if you have a question please ask. First off Dr. T and his staff are very professional and nice. They take the time to let you know what is going to happen and will answer any questions that you may have. When I went in for my procedure, Dr. T and his nurse came in and took pictures and began marking me up for where to insert the fat and where to remove it from. Next thing I know I am in the operating room, and before I knew it I was knocked out sleep. I don't remember anything other than waking up in the recovery room with my faja on. I was in pain but not that much because of the medications still being in my system. Once the procedure was over, I went home. I did not have much fluid/blood. I slept for the first day, not much and then after that, I did not. Dr. T does not use drains by the way. He says the he would be worried about infection.Which was fine with me. Also, you do get stitches on each incision site which is removed after 1 week when you go in for your 1 week post op visit with Dr. T
I finally did it!!
Brazilian Butt Lift - 2 days post-op
After years of wanting to do a BBL I finally did it! Dr. T and his staff were AMAZING!! The anesthesiologist Karen made me feel so comfortable and even text me the next day to see how I was feeling. But of course the best part of all in my 5'0 126lb frame is looking banging!! So natural looking and my waist is tiny (and it's only day 2) I cannot want to see how I look in the coming weeks!! If your in in Chicago you do not need to travel out of state for good work, Dr. T is your guy!!
Loving my BBL Results! 2 months Post Op
Brazilian Butt Lift
I did a LOT of research to find the perfect surgeon who could deliver natural, yet superior results. I wanted a BBL that didn't look like I had an obvious surgery done, but that would improve my figure and give me that beautiful hourglass shape along with lifting and filling out my sagging behind. I knew from my first consultation with DrTruong & by the looks of his portfolio, that he would be the one to do my surgery! I brought along photos of what I personally wanted to achieve and he told me exactly what he would need to do to achieve those results. I gladly traveled from out of state to have my BBL surgery by Dr. Truong and it was the best decision I've ever made!! Everyone at his office and the morning of my surgery were so nice and accommodating. I can not recommend him enough and I think my before and after photos speak volumes! He clearly is highly skilled in lipo sculpting and fat transfer! If you have been thinking about this procedure and are on the fence, you just need to do it! You will be in great hands with Dr. Truong & his staff. Your confidence will undoubtably be boosted after this procedure. Mine sure was, and I'm absolutely thrilled with my results!
Body Contouring Artist
Brazilian Butt Lift - 12 days post-op
Dr. Truong is amazing!! I researched doctors online and chose to have a consultation with him. Just by looking at my body he was able to point out exactly what I was going to tell him that I wanted. His experience with liposuction and bbl surgery really showed up during the consultation. He is very professional and gives off a reassuring energy. So, I didn't feel self-conscious about sharing my concerns with him. Everyone at the office is extremely supportive and helpful. When I went in to have my surgery, he thoroughly went over details of the body shape I wanted. I was so excited!!! I can't wait to go back to my one month post op appointment. I still have some swelling yet this is the smallest waistline I have ever had in my life. Dr. Truong makes the unimaginable possible. Thank you times a million! I can't wait for summer to show off my new body. Dr. Truong is a body contouring artist!!
Chicago Brazilian butt lift with DrTruong
Brazilian Butt Lift - 8 days post-op
Hi dolls..I'm 8 days post op on my Brazilian butt lift with an amazing Chicago doctor. I just knew there had to be someone in Chicago that could give me Miami and Mexico results. Dr. Anh-tuan Truong did just that! Dr. Truong and Monika went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and give me the results that I want!
Updated on 17 Jan 2018: I love my results..my stomach is still swollen..which is normal (Swelling can last up to six months.) As far as the booty goes..my advice is to put as much fat as you can in it, because you WILL lose a lot of it. All in all it was totally worth it & I'm happy I chose DrT!
Updated on 15 Oct 2018: Results are still amazing..only thing I would've done different is gotten the surgery sooner. ???? Haven't lost any volume since the last post.
Brazilian Butt Lift - Amazing Results!!
Brazilian Butt Lift
I had a Brazilian Butt Lift performed on June 8th, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results! I had been doing squats, lunges, and dead lifts for years, making minimal progress. Frustrated I went for a consultation with Dr. Truong. He answered all of my questions and was very confident in his ability to deliver results. He wasn't kidding! I finally have the booty I've always wanted. Monica, his patient coordinator was friendly, supportive, and a great resource. If you are considering a BBL procedure, see Dr. Truong!
