"Very professional and very comforting. Dr Balgobin literally changed my life in the best way possible! I’m beyond happy with my results Lipo 360 BBL. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to enhance their body!"
"I just want to start out by saying that I am soooooo happy with my results for my hip filler and I recommend him to everyone! I have had a bbl before and unfortunately my goal was not reached. However with this filler my goal is coming more realistically now. My experience was definitely 100 stars. The staff was really welcoming and he is just so smooth you nearly do not feel the needle l. I am most definitely going in for my second round and I cannot wait !!!! My picture is 2nd day post-op."
"I found dr bbl’s profile after he had commented on an instagram post. I’m so glad I had. I scheduled a consult and went through with the permafil procedure. I love my results and have gained so much confidence to pursue other avenues. Thank you for changing my life Dr bbl."
"Dr BBL & his entire staff Kathy & Nurse Dani was extremely warm & welcoming to their office. They made me feel comfortable & addressed all of my concerns about the permafill procedure. Dr BBL is very professional, funny, super energetic personality with excellent bedside manner .During the permafill procedure we chatted the entire time , totally pain free with magnificent results !!! I’ll definitely be going back to Dr BBL for a round 2 of Permafill. I highly recommend Dr BBL for all of your aesthetic needs, Thank you Dr 😎 photos coming soon !!"
"I am over the top happy with my results! I had Permafill 400 cc (200 cc to each hip) and it looks amazing! The procedure was virtually pain-free, and took no time at all. It’s soft and the placement is perfect! I’ve had a BBL in the past, and this is the perfect compliment to those are areas where the fat dies. I will definitely be using Dr. Balgobin for more services."
"Dr bbl is amazing ! He’s great at what he does knows what he’s doing , I had very very indented hips they are pretty much fixed with just one round of permafill he was honest about what I should expect and heard my concerns before anything"
"PREOP- Lipo 360 w J plasma Sept'23 - Excited (and nervous) to be getting Lipo360 this fall with Dr. BBL. I thought of traveling to NYC or FL, but was glad to find him here!! I have 3 kids and am very busy with them. Staying in shape has been hard, especially after my last son. I am ready like yesterday!!"
"Where do I start Dr BBL is very nice and polite gentleman I felt very safe with him .Melissa and Tara were awesome and made sure they were on top of everything in timely manner. The recovery house is awesome felt like home very clean , quiet, and peaceful. Tamika is a wonderful person inside out she made sure I was always good I appreciate it so much knowing I’m coming from another state. I highly recommend Dr BBL to anyone thank you so much for everything you do!!! I will definitely keep in touch ❤️"
"I won’t go anywhere else - so lucky to have this doctor and team - I absolutely love this place! I have been going here since 2019 and haven’t ventured anywhere since. From the moment I walk in, Libby or Melissa are so welcoming along with Chris the office manager. I have been in for Botox, filler, and 360 lipo with BBL. Dr Balgobin is the master of what he does. I feel so fortunate to actually be local to someone that really cares and enjoys what he does. Always adding the latest procedures and the first in the country for permanent booty filler. My friend just had it done and loves it! She also had lipo and no BBL and the ab etching on her is so hot! I’m so happy to have introduced many people here. When it comes to the walk through on procedure, Aftercare and overall experience with the surgery of lipo/bbl I felt in very good hands. Highly recommend Arijai! They have definitely help turned back the time clock for me and I feel so confident. Also I must add the facials, skin pen and ZO skin care are a must."
"3 months post op - completely blown away by my results - I am a 40 year old mom of one. Have always workout, ate good, have done the best I can to keep myself in shape. The thoughts of a tummy tuck just wasn’t for me personally. Along with other places I had visited for other options. I came to Dr. Balgobin regarding my concerns with saggy/lose skin. He said I would be a good fit for Vaser assisted lipo, along with J Plasma. Let me tell you!! I am only 3 months post op, and am completely blown away by my results. On top of my booty looks AMAZING, and I didn’t even get a BBL. Lol. Knowing that I will have continued results in the months to come has me super excited!! Him, along with his staff are very friendly, professional, and easy to talk to. Inviting, cozy environment. Shout out to both Tara, and Dani for being right there to answer any of my post op questions/needs. Thank you ladies. Would highly recommend anyone considering cosmetic surgery to set up your consultation with Dr. Balgobin."
"Mother of 2 adult children, living my best life at 46 years old - Dr. Balgobin made me feel so safe. I wasn’t scared at all and it’s because of him. He took every precaution there was to assure my safety. I told him what I wanted my body to look like, and he did it for me. He listened to my wants and needs. He told me exactly what to expect. He follows up with me, till this day. The level of care that this doctor gives is commendable, not to mention the results. His clinic is VERY CLEAN. The operating room was like a high end hospital. The staff is just as amazing as he is. I love the experience that I’ve had with Dr. Balgobin (BBL) and his team! The body he gave me is the nicest body I’ve ever had in my life. I’m a mother of 2 adult children, living my best life at 46 years old. Thank you, Dr. Balgobin."
"34 BMI , BBL, Lipo 360, J Plasma - thankful to have gone to him - All I can say is I'm thankful to have gone to him. Anyone looking to see a surgeon that actually care about their patients results and safety should go to Chris. I am extremely happy with my results. The recovery house is amazing I didn't want to leave the food was so good. Your treated like family. Thank you DR Chris Balgobin I am not one for many words or reviews but I felt other women should know how happy you made me and how happy you could make them."
"Nothing less than amazing - completely changed the shape of my body - My experience with staff and Dr BBL has been nothing less then amazing ! Everyone was so kind! The process of preparing was so easy , and the staff did not hesitate to answer any questions I had prior to surgery! Dr BBL was honest, informative, about what expectations I should have after receiving these procedures. He COMPLETELY change the shape of my body ! Sometimes when trying clothes on it gets me a little emotional because I had been so self conscious about things I would wear I would avoid a lot , or cover up wearing a jacket or tie something around my waist ! Let me add that At my thinnest, heaviest, and most fit my body was always square! So to see curves has been phenomenal ! The recovery house as well I don’t know what I would do without Tamika she helped me so much, cooked amazing, had my meds ready , helped me get back and forth , and treated me very respectful !"
"Dr.bbl did a amazing job on my bbls had a few rounds with him also recovering house was super clean "tamika" is amazing"
"Amazing Doctors, Staff and Recovery House - 3rd bbl with him 2 went great I drop 40 pound so came back for a touch up . All 3 times I stayed at the recovery house “tamika “ is amazing. House always clean and fresh food cooked 3 times a day and they do our laundry which was amazing . Dr.bbl is not a push doctor and is very honest which I love and yes he follows up on all his girls ."
"This doctor, his nurse Cindi, the entire staff including his recommended “POST OP” lymphatic drainage massage therapist are all AMAZING.!!! Any question I had they responded in a timely manner, they went above & beyond to make me comfortable.!! I had surgery 5/17/2021 & am so beyond happy with my results.! I’m going to start by saying this is an expensive procedure.! The cost does tend with the surgery, that’s only the beginning.! You will have to buy multiple (like 6) faja’s & have them altered as well.... Post Op Lymphatic Drainage Massages are a necessity & they aren’t cheap either.!! Also want to say that the massage you get POST OP is NOT the relaxing, feel good drainage massage. These massages are slightly painful when being done but you will feel so much better after.! The intention is to drain the remaining fluid after surgery.! SO WHEN BOOKING ONE & MAKE SURE THEY KNOW YOU NEED POST OP DRAINAGE.!!! Anyways my results are AMAZING, I super happy & already thinking about a round 2..!!! Thank you SOOOO much DR. BBL & thank you the the entire staff also MS CARLOLYN at the recovery house.!!!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all of you.!!!"
"Dr. BBL truly is amazing at his job. Each and every one of his staff was caring, attentive, and professional. Thanks to everyone for taking such good care of me."
"The process was so easy and all staff were professional and attentive - I had the most wonderful experience with Dr BBL and his staff, from my consultation, procedure to recovery house the process was so easy and all staff were professional and attentive to my needs. I love my results!"
"Few weeks post-op Lipo 360, J-Plasma, BBL - attentive & professional - Lipo 360, JPlasma, BBL- Only a few weeks post op, however, Dr. BBL and staff were attentive and professional. Dr. BBL listened to my concerns and desires then performed his magic. I have no complaints and would highly recommend his practice. I’m so glad I stayed at the recovery house, Tameka went over and above my expectations to provide for a comforting and healing environment. Couldn’t imagine recovering anywhere is. Tameka is the best."
"Highly Recommend - After spending two years, and countless consultations, searching for a doctor for my BBL I was referred to Dr. Balgobin at arijai aesthetics. I requested my consultation and the staff did an amazing job at their response times and getting me a consultation in a timely manner. This was such a wonderful change as many places I had requested consultations with took weeks to even return my emails so this quick response was so appreciated! During my consultation I got to speak with Dr. balgoban and go over all of my needs and wishes as well as ask every question that was on my list and I truly felt like he actually listened to my wants and needs and took it all into consideration well just well giving me realistic answers to all of my questions. We discussed one major topic which many other doctors that I had consulted with were pushing me into getting a tummy tuck which I didn’t want or feel comfortable with getting. When I expressed these concerns and asked questions to Dr. balgoban and he gave me a more noninvasive solution and recommended J plasma which I had never even heard of and I was so appreciative of his recommendation and after listening to him explain the procedure and explain how my results would be with getting the J plasma, it was exactly what I was looking for. I had an easy time booking My BBL with Lipo 360 & J plasma his staff walked me through the entire process answered every single question I had quickly and sent me very detailed lists of everything I should expect and everything that I needed to do and purchase for my procedure and post op. They truly left no stone unturned. I did also make the decision to stay at the recovery house and that was such an incredible experience. From the coordination to picking me up at the airport taking me to and from my surgery caring for me the entire week after I was in great hands and I felt so well taken care of their the recovery home was very clean very well-maintained and the staff at the recovery home knew exactly how to take care of me. I am now One month postop my results are exactly what I was hoping to achieve. Never in my life have I had any sort of curves at all, I’ve never had hips and I’ve definitely never had a butt and now I have all of those things as well as a flat tummy and a total confidence boost! I absolutely loved my experience with Dr. balgoban and his amazing staff as well as the recovery home I highly recommend them to anybody looking for a luxury experience and AMAZING results!"
"Gave me confidence about my body that I never had - My surgery was 5/17/21. This man is nothing short of AMAZING.!!! He, his nurses, his massage therapist, the recovery house & the Carolyn (hope I spelled her name right) who took the best care of me afterwards.! All are AMAZING.!!!He is super professional, honest & simply put MY SUPERHERO.!!! Lol Seriously though….This man changed my life.!!!!Gave me confidence about my body that I never had.! Everyone that knows me says it shows & that alone was worth it.!! The way I feel today was totally worth everything this journey includes..!!This is a journey, it is not cheap, it is not an overnight process, it is painful & more than what I expected, but again SO WORTH IT…!!Dr.Balgobins office (ARIJAI Esthetics) is clean, beautiful & exceeded my expectations.! All of his staff that encountered were AMAZING.! Cindy was who I had the pleasure of meeting & taking care of me at my post-op appointments… She is so sweet & took great care of me.! She addressed any concern I had & whenever I reached out after my procedure, had a concern or a question I received an immediate response….I stayed at the recovery house also.! It is an extremely clean, new, private place that is beautifully decorated, fully stocked with anything you may need & very comfortable. It’s so worth the little bit of extra money, especially if your from out of town…. I traveled from NYC to Minneapolis & would do 100 times again.!!!If I could give him more stars I would.!He is an unbelievable surgeon & artist.! He picked an amazing team & I made THE BEST choice in my life with choosing Dr Balgobin to perform my surgery.!!**My procedure was lipo 360, BBL & J-Plasma to the abdomen-"
"Dr Balgobin is Amazing!!!! - I can’t say enough about Dr Balgobin. I got my BbL and Lipo 360 with J-Plasma in September. I am so happy with my result at 8 weeks. Dr Balgobin was so attentive an honest. His team was so awesome from the moment I got there. I stayed at the recovery house and was so thankful for the great services I got from Tameka. You will not be disappointed"
"Dr. Balgobin did his thing with this body - I was so afraid to do this! I've always wanted to especially after my 2nd child. This was the best decision I made! Dr. Balgobin did his thing with this body! I'm so serious. I look great! His staff were extremely professional and so welcoming, my consultation and everything went smoothly. He's so wonderful and kind. I had no issues whatsoever besides the pain after surgery. He was completely honest about the procedure that I really needed which was a tummy tuck but decided on lipo 360, jplasma skin tightening and bbl. Im 6 weeks post op now and still can't believe the skin on my stomach retracted the way it did. I'm still healing as far as scaring but WOW! THANK YOU SO MUCH DR. B!!"
"Liposuction, BBL and J-Plasma - Dr. Balgobin is simply the G.O.A.T , hands down. He is a real life Superhero. I chose Dr. Balgobin , after following his work for years. I had Liposuction, BBL and J-Plasma skin tightening to the abdomen. I trusted he would do an amazing job and I was not disappointed. I’m only one month post op , I look and feel amazing, I couldn’t be happier!! You only get one chance of getting your surgery and results right! Dr. Balgobin is beyond the best!!"
"My Experience with Dr. Balgobin and Arijai Team Exceeded my Expectation!!! - I am 53 with 3 kids. After a year of searching for the right doctor or clinic I almost signed up for my bbl procedure with a Dr. in Miami, FL. Then I read a lot of good review about Dr. Balgobin in Minnesota where I live 3 minutes away from his clinic. I called and left a message. For my surprise he took time to call me and answer all my questions. I had my BBL procedure done 3 weeks ago. The whole Arijai team is super nice, frendly and professional. I met with Dr. Balgobin before my procedure discuss what I want and he listened and gave me all my options. I sincerely don't have words to express how happy I am with my decision. He is the most knowledgeable, professional, humble and very carrying doctor. He knows what he is doing and very confident about it. With Dr. Balgobin it is all about the well being of his clients and their satisfaction. He did a fabulous job!!! I recommend anyone to pay the extra and take the option to stay at the welcome house for 5 days after the procedure. A beautiful house that is so relaxing. A super nice nurse aid with nurturing nature who can help you go through each day.She prepares healthy delicious meals everyday. Water, protein drinks, supplements, all supplies included. More than anything the nurse will help you go through every steps so you don't have to know what to do. She also help you clean and shower... and more. We had a great group of ladies sharing our experience and had so much fun being there. Nurse will take you to your appointments for your checkup. Make life easier. Edna thank you! You really are so special!!! You can arrange your massage at the welcome center if you want one.I know it is hard to decide where to go for these types of procedure. My experience with Dr. Balgobin (Dr.BBL) and his teamExceeded my expectation and I highly recommend him to any one out there looking for the right doctor. I promise you will love your result. I love the new me! My I feel 21 again. Thank you Dr. BBL and Arijai team."
"Above & beyond - I had lipo360 and chin lipo March 2021. Dr. BBL and his staff were amazing throughout the entire process. I'm ecstatic about my results and I'm only 8 weeks P.O. Dr. Bbl far exceeded my esthetic expectations. His nurses provide all info you need to know regarding what to expect and proper post op care. They respond immediately to any questions or concerns. In each of my pot op appointments, It's clear the nurses are dedicated to their patients and proper care. They remembered small details about myself and my journey (all medically unnecessary, but just to show the detail and observation they have to making a true connection)."
"The Best Bbl Doctor Ever - I was really a slimmed build girl didn’t have a lot of booty or fat to actually preform the procedure but that didn’t matter if you have a great doctor you will get the best results I feel like I went to bently and got my first car in this body lol"
"Hands down the best! I felt as if I was at an exclusive resort. - Dr. BBL is the best hands down!I had my BBL with him in Aug 2020 and I am so happy with my results. Dr. B and his entire staff were warm and welcoming. I chose to stay at the recovery house and HIGHLY recommend you do the same. I felt as if I was at an exclusive resort with the best care provided. I'm looking forward to summer 2021 to show off my new juicy booty! "
"Life changer—I had a BBL lipo 360 with J-Plasma on abdomen and back. - I had a BBL lipo 360 with J-Plasma on abdomen and back.Im absolutely happy with my results. Everywhere I go no exaggeration I have people immediately turn heads to look at me & get several compliments on my body. I wanted a extreme hour glass shape. From the doctor to the nurses everyone in the office is welcoming comforting and professional. I was informed on everything I needed to know about every aspect of getting the surgery. The aftercare post visits were great. I went home from surgery with the proper garment and lipo foam inside my garment as well as a BBL pillow to sit on. I know people who've gone to surgery centers where they did not provide thise items. They're important must haves."
"You never know who you will meet - I had liposuction 360, BBl and j-plasma done back in 2018. The lipo360 was great and I was literally obsessed with the results from the J-plasma. I never new my stomach could be so flat. I felt so confident in tight jeans without having a Bulge of fat. I Strongly believe if your going to get lipo done in the Abdominal, it’s a MUST to do J-plasma (life changing)! The BBL I was extremely happy with the size of my butt. But, I did not know that all my dimples and Cellulite would still remain. Actually they seemed to be more visible and bigger. I feel that it should be more explained from the Dr to people who have a good amount of cellulite. The recover house beds were horrible but I heard it’s all upgraded and absolutely beautiful now. The Doctors team of staff was absolutely phenomenal. From the guy who picked me up from the airport to the nurse at the recovery house All A1! I can’t wait to see the new house cause I plan to be back since I let myself go during covid-19, gained a few lbs and need lipo and that J-plasma again! But one amazing part of it all is I met an amazing women at the receiver house. She and I have become the best of friends. I’m from Boston and she from Baltimore. Crazy part was her man and my man booked the same hotel while she and I was having surgery! They also clicked. We all have been on several trips Greece, Cuba, Mexico, Aspen, Miami and DC and many more to come. We have celebrated every bday together since we met at the recover house. I definitely gained a friend for life.."
"I love my BBL by Dr.Balgobin! - I'm so happy with my results. Not only did Dr. Balgobin give me my dream body, his staff were so kind! Danielle and Cindy (the nurses) are the nicest most down to earth people, they took care of me so well. It literally felt like they were family, I was so comfortable. I felt so safe. It's about 3 months post op.. and I'm looking amazing.. finally confident. My before pics are in the green and after bikiniUpdated on 26 Jul 2021:Exactly one year later….. I’m still so happy with my body! I did gain like 6 lbs but my shape remained and I think it went to my butt anyways lol! I am so happy & I get compliments all the time. If I could go back in time, I’d do it again! He is the best of the best. That’s why they call him “dr.bbl” I love his team & I felt so comfortable & taken care of. My dream body is not a dream anymore, it’s my reality."
"Amazing Results from Dr. Balgobin - I had Lipo 360 & BBL June 18th 2020 with Dr. Balgobin and stayed in their recovery house.I'm extremely happy with my results, they exceeded my expectations! I didn't know if I would look like my wish pictures and I'm not only looking like them but better!My massage therapist in Michigan tells me everytime how impressed she is with his liposuction skills. Coming from someone who sees a variety of women from a variety of places to say that is remarkable.Updated on 25 Aug 2020:Office and staff are wonderful! Very caring and professional. Being an out of state patient I emailed the nurse and she replied back to me right away. The office is beautiful and clean.I also stayed in their recovery house for 5 days and it was the best experience I could have had. Tamika is THE BEST nurse, she is an amazing caregiver who is very knowledgeable, so positive, and is a great cook! She made all our meals and made sure we had everything we needed in our rooms.Updated on 25 Oct 2020:Added my before pictures next to the othersThe left most picture is my Pre-OP - I had to gain 5 lbs from that to achieve my resultsI am now 4 mo PO and am still very happy with my results. The abdominal etching was not an additional charge but he mentions that he does this for certain patients."
"Best doctor for a natural-looking BBL - Doctor BBL changed my life. 8 months ago I flew to Minnesota from Chicago to have my surgery done November 7, 2019. I had a 360 lipo with BBL with J-Plasma. I could go on forever telling you how awesome of a surgeon he is but I’d rather show you the first photo in the cream undies is from today 8/mo and some change post op 7/24/2020. The rest were 1 1/2 month post op - amazing!"
"It’s Not All Hype and Marketing, It’s Real! - First let me preface the story by saying I have two sets of twins. Yes, two sets of twins came from this body! I had always been relatively average two thin but my weight was in terrible places namely the love handles I went to Dr. BBl for a fat transfer to the breast and I plasma to the abs, and sides. I went to Dr. BBL for a fat transfer to the breast and my results have been amazing! I had my Saline implants replaced and I did not even drop a cup size! If you need more proof just look at my before and after pics!"
"Found Arijai Aesthetic though Instagram page under dr.bbl from a friend. Watching Dr.Bagobin for three and half years or so. I finally booked my appointment for Feb 3 . Right after my Son’s 1st Birthday & I turned 41. I did a Lipo 360 +arms & BBl with Recovery house + Jplasma skin tightening technique. But I had to qualify first with blood test & Dr history. So they know your healthy before surgery and I did . I was traveling from California. Got picked up by care taker Tamika (who your going to love) from airport in a very nice Mercedes SUV on the second of February. Went straight to recovery house. Witch is a 6 bedroom 5000sq house . That is well taken care of . Sanitation at its highest. My room was spacious and comfortable. Had a welcoming chocolate and folder on my pillow, right when I walked in. Folder had information on my next steps before surgery day . Witch was the next Day . Also had supporting words of comfort . Everything is very well thought out. Caring for your wellbeing and not just your pockets. I never felt like a number . I can’t tell you how nice everyone was in the office the next day. Prepping for surgery was a breeze. Meeting Dr.B was amazing. You can sense the genuineness and the passion he has for his work. You just know you in good hands. They make sure your mentally ready , witch I was . Very much so. Waking up after surgery feeling some pain but that’s to be expected. You just had major surgery duh . My nurse Edna helped me with my meds & though the next 5 days of my healing. She’s God sent and a beautiful soul . Listen to hear and trust your in good hands . You can feel the love in her care , conversation & cooking . Having other ladies in the house with me really helped mentally get though the days . We laughed together and gave Supporting words of encouragement. It was truly a life changing experience in so many ways then one."
"Dr. BBL Gave Me my Dream Body!! - I had my bbl/Lipo March 16th, 2020 with Dr. Balgobin. He and his staff are amazing. Dani the surgical nurse was so helpful during my post-recovery week. She responded to my calls/emails right away! And Dr.BBL gave me my dream body! I’ve always gained weight in my stomach area and arms but my butt and hips were always flat and not flattering. I’ve researched different doctors and decided to go with Dr. BBL and I am glad I did. Not only is he kind and skilled, but he’s also honest. He is so knowledgeable and he knew exactly what I wanted. Honestly, recovery for me was a little tough I had no appetite and my hemoglobin dropped! I had massive headaches and I was also puking my guts out the entire first week. I wish I stayed at their recovery house, that’s honestly my only regret throughout this whole process. I stayed at a hotel with my husband who took great care of me, but it wasn’t enough. I needed a nurse and someone who had knowledge in post bbl care. However, my sister had her surgery a month ago, also with Dr.BBL of course and she stayed at their recovery house. And boy was our recovery different, they have a 24hr nurse at the house plus meals, snacks, and transportation. Tamika was one of the nurses at the house and my sis loved her. I also met Tamika in person she is super sweet and helpful. My advice dolls stay at their recovery house!!! You won’t regret it!!!! I love love my body, I got exactly what I wanted out of this surgery. The only downside is recovery is super long. Make sure you're well prepared both mentally and physically with realistic expectations."
"Today marks my 3 month post lipo360 with J plasma add-ons. So happy with the results & grateful to Dr.Bbl - I called Dr.BBl 4 months ago for a virtual consult. He went over the phone with me to every single detail. Today marks my 3 month post lipo360 with J plasma add-ons. So happy with the results & grateful to Dr.Bbl for being so informative and setting us to beautiful realistic results. He didnt just sell himself promising flat abs or those kardashian curves he told me u might need second round cause according to my BMI they were able to remove abit over 5000 cc of fat which is Safe the limit. He is an artist i never had waist lines before nor smooth back without the bra rolls.Thank u Dr.Balgobin and glad i chose u"
"Don’t Go Anywhere else - I had been going to Dr. Balgobin for roughly a year for Botox and Filler but initially was drawn to his practice from seeing his Lipo and BBL on social media. I was in awe to be honest on the transformations he does! Like damn! I never thought that was possible! I reached out to him and he directed me to where his office was, I had gone elsewhere for Botox prior but I was just so impressed with their work I had to check it out. So first I tried the Botox and filler like I mentioned, his esthetician is amazing, I have brought all my friends to her as well. She also suggested this anti aging face regiment called Zo Skin Health by Zein Obagi. I’m on my third kit (comes in a pack with 5 products) and it makes my skin look and feel like I’m glowing. Finally after a year of going to his practice I finally pulled the trigger and scheduled my Lipo 360 and BBL. From the beginning when scheduling I was given so much information on what to expect, what to do before and after and they even offer a Recovery House for a very good price. If I wasn’t local and lived 20 minutes away I would have for sure done it. I was called a week before the surgery to be consulted again, what to do, what to expect/prepare, and after care information. Throughout the whole journey they were right there with me to answer any questions I had, which I didn’t have too many because they already answered most of them. I can’t really think of any cons.... Numerous girlfriends of mine have had the same surgeries by other Dr.’s, with no after care instructions, no recommendations on lymphatic massages or garments to wear following surgery, nothing!!! I feel bad even telling them how well I was taken care of because they payed good prices but had botched jobs. Dr. B does everything right and would not go or recommend anyone to go anywhere else. They are actually considering redoing theirs just to go to him and get it done right. My results are simply amazing it’s brought happy tears to my eyes and I’m only a little over a week post opp. I have felt this way since the day out the door. It’s everything I’d hoped it would be! And it’s only going going to get better! Looking forward to enjoying this for the long term."
"Attention Stop Your Search!! Dr. BBL is the Best! - Attention!!!! If you are second guessing going to Dr. BBL stop right now! I had my procedure 3 months ago and had the most amazing experience! I stayed at the recovery house and it literally felt like a vacation. Dr. B and his staff were amazing and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way! Do it ladies stop looking around at DRs because Dr. BBL is the best :)"
"Scheduled my appointment with Dr BBL - I scheduled my appointment with Dr Balgobin on May 27th. I am super excited. I will be doing the 5 night stay in the recovery house. Current weight 184. Height 5'4. Between now and then I am trying to lose as much weight as I can just so the skin tightening will look better. I am going for lipo 360 bbl and skin tightening.Updated on 19 May 2020:My procedure is in 7 days, Wednesday May 27th. I am required to test for covid 48 hours before my appointment but I was unable to schedule Monday due to it being a holiday. The clinic is closed on the weekend so I will be doing my covid test Friday. Super nervous!Updated on 20 Jul 2020:I am 8 weeks post op and love my results so far. I stayed in the recovery house and I am so glad I made the decision to stay there. Tamika is AWESOME. my curves are poppin, my booty is poppin. My stomach needs some more work but dr B did let me know ahead of time that I would probably need a TT or round 2. He really did his thing though! I’m impressed. He is such a kind person he made me feel super comfortable. "
"Recommend Dr. B and His Staff 150%! - Dr. B and his staff are absolutely INCREDIBLE! I recommend them 150%!!! I had my first BBL with J-Plasma to my stomach in July 2019 and was very happy with my result... just decided I needed “tweaked” in a few areas, so I went for round 2 BBL and added J-Plasma to my back and also added arm lipo as well, in February 2020. J-Plasma is amazing! You should add it onto your surgery! It practically suctions your extra skin to your body. I can’t even pinch any loose skin now! I’m 3 weeks post-op as of today and I’m healing up great! Very happy with my results already and I know they’ll continue to get even better! I traveled for surgery and stayed at the recovery house both times. I would NEVER want to do this type of surgery without the recovery house! Tamika is the most caring, compassionate and helpful person I’ve ever met! She has a huge heart and gives her all to every single girl staying at the house. I actually made sure she was going to be at the house the 2nd time I came because I missed her so much and couldn’t wait to see her again! It honestly felt like a “girl’s trip” while I was there. I also stayed in the one room that’s shared with someone else and although you might think you want your own private room, having a surgery buddy is great to keep your spirits up during your recovery process. We had lots of laughs and kept each other positive throughout the process. Thank you to every one of you at Arijai who has played a part in literally changing my life! I’ll never be able to thank you enough! Much love! XOXOUpdated on 20 Mar 2020:Round 1 Before and After Photos from July 2019. BBL with J-Plasma to the stomach. I highly recommend to use Arnica Montana tablets a month before surgery for bruising, Arnica Gel to help minimize bruising quicker, Jade Roller to help massage the scar tissue that begins to form after surgery, Lymphatic massages 2-3 times per week to keep the lymph flowing well and to decrease swelling and also drink a gallon of water a day at LEAST 2 weeks before and after surgery to say well hydrated and help the body recover quicker."
"Dr. Bbl Doll - I had my lipo 360 bbl with Dr. Balgobin on 1/30/2020. He is an awesome doctor. He is very friendly and knowledgeable. He is honest and will give you realistic expectations for your body. He is patient and willing to answer any and all questions. He explained what to expect during recovery as to not be disappointed as your body goes through different changes. He is blessed with the gift to contour and sculpt your body. He puts in great effort to give you your desired look. My Primary care doctor and my Lympmathic massage specialist were both very impressed with my appearance. I love what I see. If you are looking to get lipo or a bbl , he is the doctor for the job. Check out his instagram page Dr.bbl. He post daily. The recovery house is great. Tameka is awesome and will take good care of you. They provide transportation, food, medication administration, and anything you would need to help during your first 5 days. I will provide pics soon."
"Thank You So Much Dr B!!! - My experience with dr. B was great. I got a bbl + lipo 360 with j-plasma. I didn’t have very much of a booty when I first came to him but he made me curvy with a lovely shape now and I’m so happy with it. Also the recovery house he has was beyond helpful. I’m so glad I decided to stay there they really help out with everything and also give good information that I didn’t find anywhere on the internet or YouTube prior to my surgery (and I did a lot of research) it’s good staying in a house with other women that are going through the same thing so we can all talk about how we’re feeling and no one feels weird or insecure asking questions. Thanks again so much dr b!! And at the recovery house try to get there when Tamika is working, that’s who was there when I was she was the best!!"
"Finally done - it was a pretty good experience BBL lipo 360 Jplasma - I went to Dr.BBL and it was a pretty good experience. I had my surgery on January 6th and so far so good. The Dr. was very nice and professional as expected and the staff was attentive and amazing. The recovery house was a brilliant idea, the staff knows how to take care of you. I was completely comfortable, they made sure we received our meds, got to our appointments and ate appropriately. Right now I'm a few weeks out and there is really no pain, my advice is follow the pre and post -op instructions and you'll be fine . I highly recommend this doctor!Updated on 2 Mar 2020:"
"Dr. B snatched me! - I just got my Lipo 360 + BBL on Jan 6. I'm on day 6 and back at home after staying in the recovery house (highly recommend). Dr. B. Got my waist smaller than I could ever even imagine- I had a friend ask me where my organs went! (Lol) Also, I already had a decent sized booty (you can't tell from my before pic, lol) but he sculpted it, gave me rounder hips and a rounder view from the back and I'm 10000% satisfied with my results so far. I'm still very swollen so I can't see the final product, but judging from the "after photo" he posted on his Instagram I know it will be the body of my dreams! Definitely follow him on IG if you don't already- Dr.BBL.Also, do yourself a favor and stay at the recovery house. The first few days are HARD. There is a lot of drainage, medication and getting in and out of the garment is an ordeal.... you will want and need the help of their staff. "
"I am only six weeks in to my recovery and I’m loving my results so far - I had a lipo360, bbl and j-plasma in September. Dr. Balgobin and his staff are Amazing ! Even after my surgery Dani the surgical nurse is so helpful with any and all of my questions. I can’t thank them enough for everything !!! I am only six weeks in to my recovery and I’m loving my results so far, can’t wait to see my final result."
"Amazing Work - Dr. BBL (Dr. Balgobin) is an amazing surgeon and does amazing work transforming bodies. I had an amazing experience with him and his staff and postoperatively while staying at the recovery house. Ms. Edna (RN) tended to every need I had and provided me with valuable advise to enhance results. I would recommend to anyone who wants a natural shape after lipo 360 with BBL!! My husband is SOOOO happy with my results, almost as much as me!"
"They have the BEST staff! They were so helpful with scheduling my procedure and very understanding when I was unable to continue with it. If I were able to do my bbl I would one hundred percent do it here!!!"
"Dr. BBL - Bring 40 on - I've followed Dr. B for at least 6 years and the time just worked out for me a few months ago. I took my pics submitted my questionnaire and recieved a call that day with a future appointment date with Libby for a virtual consultation. Dr. B called I picked a date put my down payment and then setup a call with my physician to clear me for surgery. I decided stay at the recovery house and must say that I am beyond glad that I did. The ladies have experience, are very welcoming, insightful, understanding and knowledgeable. The home itself is very much like a home, very cozy and up to date. Mary and Jeanette made themselves available but also run a tight ship. The home is always maintained very clean and if you need anything they will accomodate you on an errand run. If you are coming from out of state there is no reason why you should not stay here. I know some want to air bnb or hotel but trust me you'll have everything you need here.I would like to share that I was not feeling so great on my post OP visit (we all recover differently) Dani right away heard me was very attentive and her bed side manner just confirmed why I chose Dr. B and his staff. The following morning I still was not feeling well and I reached out to Chris, the office manager...on a Saturday! He promptly responded the girls at the house had a game plan for me and that evening Chris reached out to check on me again! I cannot say enough of Dr. B, Dani, Chris, and Libby thank you so much for caring and truly showing it. Thank you to the recovery house staff you ladies are amazing! I leave MN with a few new friends and a whole new body!"
"Lips 360,BBL and J plasma - Dr.BBL changed my life I can’t thank him enough. He’s so nice and understanding and listen to what you want. He’s honest. I’m so in love with my body! Looking at my before and after speaks for itself how great he is at what he does. The whole staff was amazing! The recovery house was a life saver. Tamika and the other girls that were there was very encouraging and helpful. I’m so happy I picked Dr.BBL. You will not regret it! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!Updated on 22 Jul 2019:"
"Lipo 360 with BBL and J-Plasma - Dr. B n his staff are amazing at what they do they are so nice and helpful throughout your journey.. they answer all your questions before you even ask them... they thrive for the best results.. my stay at the recovery house was more than I imagined it being I didn’t feel alone and Tamika was there every step of the way helping me to recover I couldn’t have done it without her.. she’s an amazing cook and made sure she attended to everyone needs.. both facilities are very nice and clean!!!"
"Lipo BBL w/J-Plasma - After months of research I had my surgery done by Dr.Bbl and I'm so happy I did! His work is amazing and he gave me exactly what I asked for! I would highly recommend staying at the recovery house. Tamika is very knowledgeable and she helped us all through our healing process even after I left the recovery house. I feel I made a friend more so than just having a nurse take care of me. The staff at Arijai were helpful and resourceful! There is so much information about post op that not everyone is informed about so do your due diligence and research, asks questions! Especially if you're traveling, you only get so much time at the clinic. Staying at the recovery house with tamika gave me insight on the best way to care for myself post surgery. This surgery is no walk in the park so boss up and brace yourself mentally for the after math! "
"Dr.BBL is the best hands down he is not a doctor he is a artist who can make you feel really guy good about your body I was so thankful I didnt waste my 6500$ on some surgeon I would have regretted I decided to save extra and spend more but the results are really worth my time and my money the healing processes is rough not fun but your going to be feeling yourself and look like a boss feel like a Kardashian when you are fully well. Tha is 100% great team"

"Great Care - The staff was great and they really took great care of me during my recovery , so far I am pleased with the results. I would highly recommend Dr. BBL for lipo 360 and j plasma with BBL. I can’t wait to see what the final outcome will look like.Updated on 16 Jun 2019:And most importantly I forgot to give a shout out to all of the staff at Arijai especially Tamika. She was my caregiver at the recovery house. She was so helpful and attentive and she is a bomb cook. When it came to changing my dressings and getting me in my garment, she knew what she was doing."
"360 Liposuction W/ J-Plasma & BBL - Dr. Balgobin changed my life forever and I will be forever grateful. The entire experience with him and his personnel was so pleasant that I wasn’t even nervous. The recovery house was such a wonderful experience. LET ME TELL YOU! Tamika at the recovery house will take care of you to the very last detail. She’s an angel."
"Dr. BBL the great - Had a great experience at the recovery house. Tamika is the best!! Without her the recovery house wouldn’t be the same. Thank you to all of Dr. B’s staff and a special thanks to Dr. Bbl himself!!! I love my new curves and booty!!!"
"Lipo 360 and Bbl - Dr Balgobin and his staff was very professional. He took the time to ask me what I wanted to achieve, he is very approachable, kinda cute, and values his patients. The procedure went well in my opinion with less bruising and pain than I anticipated. I LOVE MY RESULTS!!! I stayed at the recovery house where Edna and Tamika took great care of me and they are a wealth of knowledge.. (listen to them!) Edna was leaving the day I came in so most of my stay Tamika assisted me. She helped with pretty much anything I needed, going to the bathroom, helping with showers, changing bandages and Tamika cooked every meal which by the way was very tasty! Tamika also took me to all my post op appointments. Overall I definitely Dr Balgobin and the recovery house. A definite 5 star rating!!! I highly recommend!!"
"Dr. BBL is Absolutely AMAZING - Dr. Chris Balgobin aka dr BBL aka magician is thee best cosmetic surgeon in the game. He is so professional, always smiling, takes so much pride in his work, truly loves what he does, loves all his patients & more importantly delivers REALISTIC expectations/results. He turned my wish pictures into REAL LIFE in a matter of hours!!! My hips, waist & of course my Booty have put my confidence which was already pretty high OVER THE TOP!!! Dani, the surgery nurse, is VERY serious about getting you your best results while healing. She’s so crucial in your healing process. Chris with guest services is always one phone call away. The recovery house is beautiful, clean & there are home cooked meals that even accommodated me being vegan. Ms Edna took over the recovery house on the last day & It was like having my mom there! So much love for all you guys & thank you for putting the safety of your patients FIRST!!!"
"Lipo 360 with BBL and Jplasma - I don’t know where to start on how great Dr. BBL and his staff are. I had an amazing experience from the day I arrived day till I left.Dr. Bbl is exceptional all I had to do is show him my wish picture and he gave me a body of a goddess, seriously. I will totally come back for different procedures and recommend Dr bbl to my friends and family. He is awesome and always there to answer your questions. Dani was very awesome helped me with all the questions I had and was able to help me feel better about the surgery.I stayed at the recovery house and Chris is amazing and easy to communicate with, Gale was great she was there for me and the rest of the girls there all the time I can not thank her enough for everything she did to help me during my recovery."
"Good Experience with Dr BBL and Janae the Massage Therapist - Dear Doctor BBL i had a lipo 360 and BLL last week thank you for the surgery can’t wait to see the results. I would also like to ask you if you could give all ur patients Janae’s phone number for after care since she is very good at what she does (lymphatic Drainage massage) and since she is very good with human body. She is helping me a lot if it wasn’t her I would of be already in emergency room because of the fluid that built up in my body she helps me a lot and she does check up on me every day to see how I m recovering and also she tells me what my next steps are what i would need etc i just wish I would get her phone number in the beginning before the surgery i would of over stayed and get a good lymphatic Drainage massage package from her. After she gave me the lymphatic drainage massage for the first time in your office I felt so good so light and relaxed and I seen later on good results when I got home I looked up on the internet for janae to make sure I keep good detailed after care. wish I could have the massage and care for 2 more weeks I m sure I would be done with fluid in my body and swelling. I m still great full for that she checks up on me everyday so please make sure ur patient get her phone number at the beginning when they arrive at the recovery house."
"Lipo 360 with BBL - So pleased with my results. Had Surgery with Dr. Balgobin (Dr. BBL). My main desire was to have my love handles removed so that my waist could be snatched. Of course I wanted a nice booty, being that I did not have much back there. Dr. BBL fulfilled all of my wants and needs. I would recommend anyone to check him out if you meet the clearance for surgery."
"Worth the Jaunt Across the Country - So glad I travelled to Minnesota and headed the advice to stay at their Recovery House! I love my BBL, I have always been busty and had a plump behind, however I did not have an hourglass figure because I had no definition with my waist and lacked hips. Now I have both and couldn’t be happier! I knew Doctor Balgobin and his staff would be the best right away everyone there is so helpful and respond to any inquiries immediately. They are honestly the best from the reception desk over to the Recovery House."
"I’m 3 Weeks Post Op As of Now. So Far Good. - I had 1000cc put into each cheek. I was actually afraid it was going to be too big now that swelling is going down I’m scared it isn’t enough haha. Which I’m sure is common. I’m excited to see what my “final “ results are going to look like. I did have Jplasma instead of tummy tuck I had no desire to have that big of a scar. That is actually how I found Dr.BBL."
"Lipo 360 with BBL - Dr. Balgobin is amazing!!! Very nice and professional. Excellent bedside manners. This was my first cosmetic procedure and Dr B and his team really made me feel so comfortable and made the whole process easy for me. Dr. B loves what he does and he’s amazing at it. I love my results so far. The day of the procedure Danielle was very nice and informative. Alison my nurse anesthetist was great. Cindy helped me in the pacu after the procedure. I stayed at the recovery house and I wouldn’t have survived without Tamika and Gale! They were there for me the whole time to help me get to the bathroom, cook for me, run errands for me, and take me to my post op appointments. I would recommend Dr. Balgobin and his team for anyone looking into liposuction and/or BBL."
"Amazing Doctor - I had done A LOT of extensive research before choosing dr bbl for my lipo 360 with bbl. my results are amazing. I get compliments every where I go and I have even had doctors tell me that his work is the best they’ve ever seen. His work is life changing. He contours not only your butt , he contours your waist and hips to give you that natural look and so you don’t look like an ant. By far, he’s the best in the business and is easy to contact with questions post surgery."
"2 months post op - I got surgery on dec 18th, 2018. I got j-plasma lipo 360, and a fat transfer (bbl). Dr.BBL has literally did amazing work. The pictures he took do no justice to his work because omg do i look amazing! Super natural no crazy ant booty. Literally just the way i wanted it. My only complaint is i wish i did a fat transfer to my boobs. Otherwise ladies he is worth the money he costs. All inclusive recovery house? How can you not. As far as improvements i would recommend Dr.B getting a massage therapist in house to visit the girls and give massages at the recovery house. But all in all i loved my experience, from the nurses, to doctor B. It was amazing.Updated on 1 Mar 2019:These are my before and after pics. Some are my personals some are the ones taken day before surgery and right after while still on the table. Give your body time to heal because i look so different from day 1 post op til now."
"Long Awaited BBL..Take 2 - I was scheduled last year but had to postpone for medical reasons. In between time, my doc moved to Orlando. So! Going with a new doctor @ a different practice. Dr. Balgobin or Dr.BBL. He’s at the ARIJAI over in Minneapolis, MN.Updated on 19 Feb 2019:I just want a sexy shape.a juicy booty Nice hips. Snatched waist. Flat tummyIN THE MOST NATURALLEST WAY.Updated on 19 Mar 2019:Can’t believe I was one of the five chosen winners for the 2019 tax season giveaway!! I’m beyond excited and so grateful to dr.bbl and staff at Arijai esthetics. I’ve been stalking the page ever since I found him right here on real self also on ig & Snapchat. I cannot wait til my dateUpdated on 3 Apr 2019:Omg the wait...The agony...I know, I know patience is a virtue blah blah blahOn a more serious note I’ve been stressing lately bc even with the $2019 off I just won from this giveaway I was short af on coming up with funds and just when I thought I was gonna have to change the date or just give it up altogether bc it seems every time I book for a Sx [RS bleep] ALWAYS happen. Well, this time around it’s all been good news bc guess what ladies n gentlemen..I’VE JUST GOT MY INCOME TAX MONEY!! Can we get a AMEN!? A HALLELU!!? It’s been a rough year for everybody but it seems like things are finally starting to turn around for ya girl OK!! Making my final payment bright and early tmrw morning AS SOON AS I WAKE UP LMAOthen all I gotta do is labs, medical clearance, buy some bbl supplies and jump on this plane..."
"Dr BBL IS AWESOME! - I followed Dr BBL for over a year as I did other docs before making my decision to book with him. I loved how he was real and didn’t “show boat” on his social media posts. He is exactly the same in person as he is on INSTAGRAM! Soft spoken, informative and 100% real. I told him what I wanted and he did exactly that. I would recommend him to anyone, I plan on going back in 6 months to add a little more booty than what I originally wanted lol he is so worth it and the recovery house is worth it too!"
"I have not had any of the invasive surgical procedures so I cannot speak to that but I love going to Andrea for my laser hair removal treatments and have had two facials with skin pen and UV light treatment. Andrea is so calming and kind, it is such a relaxing visit and skin feels great after. I personally didn't do well with the skin care line but my face is pretty picky when it comes to skin care products. It's also unfortunate that the skincare line doesn't count toward Brilliant Distinction points but it did feel amazing, smelled great and wasn't too expensive. My skin just didn't agree with it. I go to Cindy for my Botox and while I usually get discounts working in healthcare, I like her so much, I'd pay the extra. She gives touch ups after 2 weeks for free if you aren't pleased with anything. She is very knowledgeable about the anatomy of the face and physiology behind the work she does. It's reassuring having an actual nurse doing the treatments knowing she has education and specialized training in her specialty. Cindy and Andrea are both a delight to chat with during my treatments. I even received Botox from Dr. BBL himself. He was so down to earth and not like most plastic surgeons I've dealt with in the past. He was just your average, normal guy and I felt he was genuine. I gave 4/5 stars only because the reception staff has some ways to go and I'm not a huge fan of the skin care line. The ambience and decor of the place is trendy yet comfortable and clean. I never have a hard time scheduling with my crazy schedule. I've been going here for several months and have no plans to go elsewhere anytime soon."
"Lipo 360 - My experience was great from the recovery house to Dr B himself. Is he a board certified plastic surgeon, n....has he been highly train, and masterd the skills of lipo and bbl without a doubt! His work is phanomal and results are consistent. Their were 2 girls at the recovery house who've gotten bbl the same time I got lipo and both results were amazing.He is very professional, has a clean sterile environment and his team is amazing. I can honestly say you are in good hands with this guy."
"No Hips No Problem ;) - Dr.BBL and his staff are the bomb!! I can't thank them enough how my life has changed since I got my bbl and 360 lipo! I complements everywhere I go. My butt looks very natural and my waist looks great! I didn't have hips but Dr.bbl did his magic! Boom! Hips! The rehab with Mary was great too! She's very supportive and helps a lot! You go girl! I'm def going to get s second round in 2 years!"
"Brazilian butt lift - Where do I even begin?! I have wanted a BBL for the longest time!!! I have a slim figure and was really worried I wouldn’t have enough fat, so I searched & searched for a surgeon who specialized in BBL’s. I came across Dr. Balgobins page on instagram @dr.bbl and was truly amazed at all of his work! At the time I worked for a plastic surgeon in Dallas but wasn’t convinced he should be MY surgeon. So I made the decision to set up a consultation with the man himself, Dr. Balgobin! I am honestly beyond happy with my results! He listened to everything I said and gave me the exact results I wanted. His staff was amazing from start to finish. The manager, Chris, picked me up from the airport and he is a super nice guy. He took me to the office where I met up with the nurse, Dani, and she was so sweet. She explained exactly what I needed to do the night before my surgery. My recovery went smooth, I had my stitches removed 5 days after my surgery with Cindy, who was also super sweet and helpful. Overall it was a great experience and the best decision I’ve ever made! I feel confident in my own skin all thanks to Dr. Balgobin and his wonderful staff! "
"Thee Best Plastic Surgery Experience - I hade thee best experience, the day of my consultation I was able to finally meet the Surgeon that many of my co workers talk highly about Dr. Chris Balgobin. All my questions where answered I knew what to expect. The same day of my consultation I paid my deposit my research was over. The day of my surgery I was nervous but when I met all the surgical team members I calmed down they were so nice and welcoming. My surgery started at 7 I was home by 10. Honestly I hade no pain for 12 days I didn't have a pain pump or experal. I just hade discomfort when moving around. I did have pain on day 13 which was nerve pain that sucks but that's comes and goes. Very happy with my results and so are my family and friends I highly recommend Dr. Balgobin for lipo 360 and BBL you will not be disappointed. He is truly the best."
"Great Overall Experience - Amazing doctor with great staff. Recovery house was definitely worth it. Went to Dr. BBL for revision of lipo 360 done by previous surgeon. I wish I went to him originally as it would have saved a lot of time and money!Updated on 27 Jun 2018:Still some swelling but looking better every week. I highly suggest lymphatic massage to improve results and speed up healing.Updated on 30 Jul 2018:Swelling is mostly gone. Still some irregularities but overall an improvement!"
"Spoke with dr. BBL today. He is for the safety of his patients. I was not eligible for the procedure because my BMI is above standards but he was honest and was looking out for my safety! Great doctor. Good man! Looking out for your well being. He is not there just for the money, he cares about his patients. He will do the procedure when you're at your healthiest to give you the best; most desirable results. Once i lose the weight i would not trust anyone else to do my procedure. Thank you dr. BBL for your honesty and your commitment to doing what's right! Five stars."
"My recovery was quick and fast I was up the same day - Went to dr.bbl 2 times love it my body is shape amazing .The recovery my was quick and fast . His recovery house was clean and with good meals they come check on you make sure your okay or need anything it was a huge help special when your in pain ."
"Beyond my expectations - My experience with Dr.B was beyond my expectations he really took the time to assist my wants and needs also putting me at a place of complete comfort. I'm so happy I decided to go with him and I made my decision by looking through his IG pics and hearing from other girls experience with him and I just knew he was going to be the doctor for me and that my search had ended. It didn't take long for me to say ok I've seen enough and his expertise in booty was what I needed and today I'm happy with his work ! June will make a year since my bbl and I'm in love with it people can see that too lol !!! Make him your doctor you will not regret I guarantee you."
"BBL/lipo 360 - Lipo 360 And BBL on April 30, 2018 with Dr BalgobinI have always had a boxy figure. Not very feminine at all. So my goal with the whole thing was just to improve my overall silhouette. The closer I could get to “curvy”, the better. So I’m currently just at 3 weeks post op. So I am still seeing changes everyday. But overall very happy with my results at this time Updated on 26 May 2018:Currently at 3.5 weeks post op. Just transitioned to a smaller garment. I actually cut pretty big sections of my first garment out at about 1 week post op because it was so painful on my butt. Unfortunately it did change the way that the garment fit but it was still functional. Since a lot of my swelling has come down at this point, my new garment is pretty tight. But manageable. Not painful. My ribs and my butt are still fairly sensitive but I wouldn’t call it “pain”. It’s a very strange feeling to not have complete feeling to light touch in certain areas. Sometimes my stomach itches and I go to scratch and I can’t feel it! Lol But that’s getting bette day by day as well. I have started to get used to sleeping on my stomach although I initially HATED it. And I am doing much better with my bbl pillow in the car. I have been having a little bit of lower back pain just because of how I have positioned on myself on the pillow sometimes. Nothing too bad though. My butt seems to get smaller by the day. I’m hoping it starts to stabilize sometime soon because I’d be pretty happy with what I have now. But I can tell I’m still somewhat swollen. I have read from some doctors that the most significant changes happen in the first 4 weeks. So hopefully I only have some minor changes ahead. One can only hope ???????????"
"Brazilian Butt Lift - Flew in to MN For a Brazilian butt lift with Dr.Balgobin aka dr.bbl. Hes a booty artist! I must say I’ve been very fortunate. Recovery has been SO much easier than expected!! Day 1 I woke up feeling great went to the recovery house was walking around going up and down stairs probably 5 to 6 times the day of surgery! Day two I was a little more sore and stiff, but still nothing bad like I expected...I would get headaches and feel nauseous but I think that was from the painkillers. Next day I went in for my 2 day post op. Met with Dr B he took me out of my garment Removed all the bandages and tape, put in some lips foam and I went back to the recovery house. I have stopped taking vicodin the morning of day 2. Switched 400mg ibuprofen feeling much better! Unfortunately started my period so that sucks... buttttt Today is day three pplA shower and I have been hanging out feeling great not doing much just chilling ready to go home tomorrow!Updated on 20 Feb 2018:Day 4 felt even better, went to my last postop appointment and got my stitches removed. He didn’t use drains and I had no drainage which was amazing. Nurse said I looked great and was good to go. I must say that the flight home was horrible. 3.5 hrs Is NO FUN. I got a seat on the back of the plane and told the flight attendants about my procedure so they were totally cool with me standing when the seatbelt Sign was on but I feel like the pressure made me super swollen and sitting did not feel good even though I had my BBL pillow and a regular pillow. I would suggest flying out a few days later. On the flip side its amazing to be home ????Updated on 20 Feb 2018:Feeling much betterI learned how to lay comfortably on the couch!If you get a bunch of pillows and prop them under your back, if you have a giant ottoman you can just sit your butt in between the couch in the Ottoman and it is so much more comfortable with zero pressure on butt and hips ????????Updated on 28 Feb 2018:Sized down in my my garment yesterday. Still super swollen but the waist is snatched. Feeling great! Updated on 19 Apr 2018:It’s been exactly 9 weeks! Feeling great, still wearing my compression garment and using bbl pillow while driving...I still get swollen and sore if I don’t wear it for a few hrs... getting better day by day Updated on 19 Apr 2018:"
"34 Mother of 3 Round 2 Lipo 360 with BBL - First off I have never written a review before... but after my unforgettable experience at Arijai Aesthetic and wellness with Dr Christopher Balgobin I had to come on here and let everyone know how amazing this man really is ... after going to Miami and having a prior Bbl with another doctor I was sadly disappointed and discouraged not happy with my results right away I started doing my research and came across Dr.B ... I loved his work on IG so I decided to take the chance and fly down to Minneapolis to have round 2 lipo 360 with BBL hands down the best decision I have ever made. He literally made me into a Barbie everything that I wanted from the first surgery and more higher than I could ever expected. He snatched my waist so much my friends thought I had my ribs removed ???? And gave me the apple booty I always dreamed of . I have never met anyone like Dr.B he is the nicest most humble man that makes you feel comfortable every step of the way. There are not enough words to express my gratitude and how grateful I am. He actually cares about his patients and makes you feel important doesn't treat you like your just another number which I have had before from previous doctors . Thank you Dr.B you are the BBL god ????"
"4th and Final Baby. Now Work! - I've always had a nice shape and booty. Was very small. Had my last son in 2011 and gained 60 lbs (190 my heaviest). Well, I went to the gym. 2 a days! Ate some what healthy and lost all that ugly fat. Got down to 155lbs. Great shape and hips. Booty was perfect (although it decreased in size) Fast forward life, heartbreak, refound love and another baby 2016... I'm back fat again (184lbs) I dont mind putting in the work again. I just want a jumpstart. As much as I worked out I still had a pudge that did not go anywhere. (The untrained eye would barely notice) Anywho... I have a consult today with Dr. BBL. I'm nervous and excited. We'll see.....Updated on 8 May 2017:Had a consultation and booked for may 30th. Someone cancelled.. YAYUpdated on 8 Jun 2017:Omg.. I had the surgery and this recovery is no joke! I'm swelling so bad. My back hurts from laying on my stomach lifting my head to do everything. Every review Ive read doesn't explain in depth this healing process. It is no joke. My butt is HUGE. He only added 1300 cc total. I always had a big butt just wanted to round it out. I also had the O-shot"
"Lipo 360 W/ BBL - Dr. Balgobin Aka Dr. BBL - Hello Ladies,I’ve stalked this site for over a year and have finally decided to have the BBL procedure. I’ve researched the doctors in Jacksonville, FL where I live and also in Miami. They all have some great reviews but I couldn’t find a doctor as consistent with their work as, Dr. Christopher Balgobin of Arijai Aesthetic aka Dr. BBL. His attention to detail and organic talent is what attracted me to him. Although, I would rather stay local and recover at home, I only want to have this procedure once. My surgery date is April 20, 2017. I’m flying into Minnesota the day before and will be staying at the recovery house. I'm 5'10" and 198 lbs. I will post pics soon. Would love to chat with anyone heading to Dr. BBL around the same time as me. Good luck to all of you!Updated on 16 Apr 2017:Hey Ladies,Happy Resurrection Day! It's a blessing to be here and I'm so grateful for God's grace, mercy and unconditional love. So guys, it's hitting home that this is really about to happen. I'm excited, slightly nervous and ready for my Mini-Mommy Makeover. Like most of you, I've always put myself last. I'm always there for everyone else but me. It's time to do something for me and take time for myself. I plan to stay in MN for 10 days but I'm not sure if it will last. I haven't been away from my hubby and kids since retiring from the Navy in 2014. I'm sure I'll be ok. I'm such a procrastinator, I haven't purchased my supplies but I have my clothing all ready to go. I plan to check one medium size suitcase and carry on a backpack. I promise to post pics the night before. Ladies, you all are amazing and I am so happy I found realself! Would love to here any insight or recommendations you all may have.Updated on 25 Apr 2017:Hi Ladies, hope you all are doing well. I'm currently on day 5 post-op. I have minimal pain, swelling and some discomfort. The worst day for me was Day 2 po. I had my first lymphatic massage on yesterday and it was amazing. Dr. Chris Balgobin (Dr. BBL) and his staff are the best example of what any medical clinic should be or strive to be. From day one they have answered and addressed all of my concerns and questions. After speaking with Dr. Balgobin over the phone, I knew I wouldn't risk spending my hard earned money on an fair doctor. He was so sincere, explained his findings and recommendations but left the decision up to me. After arriving at the clinic the day of my surgery, I felt like family. Dani, his surgical nurse was welcoming, compassionate, caring, and attentive. I felt like family. They made me feel like we had known each other for years. The medical care I received was far above my expectations and made it so easy to relax and trust their skills. The anesthetist was great and explained everything to me. She was funny and down to earth. Kristin, one of his nurses did my lymphatic massage and she works wonders. She is very personable, caring, and has amazing hands. Wish I was able to stay longer to get another massage. Dr. Balgobin's bedside manner was so attentive, he explained each step and asked for my wishes. I can't say enough about this clinic or their hard work. I have never in my adult years experienced the level of care I received from the amazing staff at Arijai Aesthetic. If and only if I had to have a procedure done again, I would only go to Dr. Balgobin and his staff. My results are phenomenal, even with the swelling, I can see definition in my stomach and my butt is full and beautiful. I'm so happy I trusted my gut and went with Dr. Balgobin vice saving a few dollars and not being confident in the local doctors work. I will post about the recovery house later. To Dr. Balgobin and his team: Thank you for the genuine love, care, peace of mind, outstanding results and new found confidence you've given me. May God bless all of you in your endeavors. Will try to post pics soon. Need some rest.Updated on 25 Apr 2017:"

"Lipo 360/ with BBL WITH MR.dr.BBL HIMSELF - I was part of the Dr.Miami squad doctors contest and I won this surgery with dr.b! SINCE DAY ONE HE HAS BEEN RESPONSIVE (hard to come by with doctors who have a good following ect) he messages me back usually within the hour EVEN ON VACATION ????! His staff was so friendly and welcoming , they had balloons all set up so pretty the day of surgery, everyone was very understanding my anxiety was through the roof , but everyone was very nice about it and talked me through everything ! Doctor b puts his heart into his patients and results (EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT remember that as far as results go) I see a lot of negative comments like her butts too big ect ect look YOU LOOSE 30-50% off that fat that is injected , so always go bigger is my advice I have spoke to many of his patients and everyone has the same take on that subject so don't be so quick to judge! Anyways! Back to surgery day ! I was in and out the first day ( I usually have a hard time waking up with anesthesia) so I expected that in a way! The 2-3-4 day SUCKED as far as pain , (I never take narcotics because of my family history with addiction makes me scared to try them) I did take one pain med the day after bc I was desperate for relief ! But then went without pain meds until night time (DONT DO THAT) after that I've been taking tylonel and ibprophen ! I am still extremely sore I am on day 6 technically ! I don't Sleep much because it's hard to get comfortable sleeping on your belly , my advice go spend the money on a nice body pillow roll towels put them under shoulders I slept 5 hours last night with that regimen :) during the day pain is controlled (I have my moments of m effing everything) lol but getting better each day! Late night and early morning is the WORST for me anyway I assume lack of sleep and being stiff all night plays a roll in that , I'm going to start stretching before bed to see if it helps ! Anyways I would recommend doctor b aka DR BBL (FIND HIM ON IG) 1 million times over his nurse was such a sweetie as well! Listen ladies if someone is offering this surgery cheap DO NOT DO IT , you don't want to cheat yourself on this kind of thing and take it seriously when choosing your doc! If you have any questions please feel free to message me !!Updated on 8 Apr 2017:??????????"
"Sensational_bbl_ba_journey - Ive been researching for months and narrowed my top 3:kovanda, gervais and balgobin. I decided to go with dr.balgobin because of his amazing technique and results (you can see his work on instagram:dr.bbl) and boy was it a great experience! His humble, professional and honest atmosphere and staff made this a relaxing and incredicle journey for me. I am very excited to see how well my bbl turns out after the safety net of 3 mths-6 mths. Wizh me luck!Updated on 9 Mar 2019:So it's been about 2 years since I got my BBL with dr Balgobin. And I am so glad I did. Every results differ on how well you maintain your body after surgery so when I was able, I went to the gym 4x a week and harvest my butt as much as possible and boy is it worth it (see pic) I just took this 2 days ago and yes, my booty is still perky and alive after 2 years. Some days I dont work out and my butt still a lil perky but a few legs day in and it's jumps back to being a shelf! This is the best investment I ve ever made in my life and I am actually much healthier than I be ever been because I ve never exercised as much as I have till now. In a way, getting bbl regained my confidence and interest in my body. Thank God for bbl and great doctors like dr. Balgobin!!!"
"34 Mother of 2.. My 3rd and Final BBL - Minneapolis, MN - I just got my 3rd bbl w/Dr. Bbl. Dr. Balgobin was amazing & his work is awesome!! By far my favorite out of all 3 doctors ive been to. My 1st bbl was with Dr. Weisman in Chicago, then Dr. Memar in Chicago. Dr. Balgobin answered ally questions, his staff is amazing. Everyone was positive & nice. Dr. Balgobin did everything i wanted! He was so aggressive with the lipo & i love the garment they use. He also sent me home with a bbl pillow so i didn't have to buy one. I would definitely recommend him!"
"31 Year Old, No Kids, Lipo 360 Burnsville, MN - So......where do I begin? I was very unhappy with myself for over 5 years. I used to be the thin girl that could eat what she wanted and never had to worry about a pound. Then my mid twenties took hold of me and my genetics on Botha sides decided it was time for me to be fat. And I mean really fat for me it was bad. I'm 6'0 tall so of course I always heard "you look good, you carry it well", blah blah blah. I had enough of the sympathy compliments and the hiding myself from my wonderful boyfriend. I researched until I was all researched out and found my gem Doctor. Dr. BBL on Instagram and he changed my life and outlook on everything. Thank God I found him and he got my right on together. Ladies and gents....if this is something that you want, don't hesitate for the sake of others and being a social outcast. Do it for you, it will totally be worth it.Updated on 16 Aug 2016:Almost three weeks out and I feel amazing, I think I'm healing well although I have nothing to refer that to having never had surgery. Only pain I feel is going from laying to sitting to standing or sitting to standing. My back has been hurting from slightly leaning forward I'm terrified to stand up straight sometimes. I wanted to share my experiences in great detail so everyone knows what to expect. Lipo hurts A LOT, but the hydrocodone does help. *wink wink*. I didn't have the dissolvable stitches so once my skin started healing over the stitch it hurt like crazy that much more. I got them taken out one week post and that made the world of differemce how I felt. I will post three weeks post op pictures on Friday. He literally curbed a waist for me I can't wait for the swell ping to be gone and see the snatched waist that's left."
"36 Year Old with 2 Kids - Minneapolis, MN - I had lipo 360 with a Brazilian butt lift done by Dr Bolgibin in Minneapolis in May. I could not be any happier with my results. My waist is super tiny and my butt is the perfect big. He is so friendly and easy to talk to. I showed a picture right before my surgery of what my expectations were and let's just say it looks like a carbon copy. I highly recommend him. I traveled across the United States for him."
"Lipo 360 by Dr. BBL -Minneapolis, MN - I was very afraid of liposuction the closer my surgery date was getting but Dr. BBL & his staff made my life so EASY. The doctor will answer your questions & even give you his cell phone number. Yesterday, I took a photo without my garments on & still in complete shock on how great I look. Thank you again!Updated on 5 Aug 2016:"
"25, Mom of 1, Getting a BBL with Dr. Chris Balgobin (Dr.BBL) - Burnsville, MN - I've never been happy with my body shape and have been looking into Brazilian butt lift for a few years now. I finally saved up the money and booked an appointment for June 3. Dr. Balgobin listened to all of my needs and answered all of my questions. I couldn't be mod excited and his staff is extremely helpful. He's 8 hours from where I live so it's not too bad of a drive. Excited for June ????Updated on 11 Apr 2016:no matter how thin I get my double chin doesn't go away and it looks horrible from the side so I'm getting chin lipo while I'm in surgery for my BBL!
