Revision to hips with Dr. J Curves

Hey...Im pregnant too, but im six months. I think that I want to go with Jimerson also. His work is just so solid to me.

Hey Nellima congrats on your pregnancy!! Dr. J has an eye for the booty. Researching doc's is starting too get a lil confusing. Right now its between Dr. J and Dr. Salama. He has many reviews on here. Have you checked him out? Also how soon do you wan't to have your bbl?

Yeah the toss up is between Dr. J or Salama for me too. I had my brother look at both of their web sites to tell me what he thinks and he said that Dr. J looks like he is the one. So hearing it from a guy makes all the difference. But price is also playing a part in it for me also. I have called both offices to researchand been lookin on this site like crazy. Most of the ladies are rollin with Salama. He does have nice work and a few other perks in with the price. I just dont like his garment to he gives you to wear after surgery. i like Dr. Js garment. I want to have it done next year. Dr S is booked till feb right now but Dr j is like two mnths out. Plus they want you to wait 3-6 months after delivery to get the surgery. What about you?

That was a good idea to get a guys perspective. The only thing is with Dr. S pics on his site, what I noticed was he didn't have any pics of women with larger booty's. I would rather see a lil more variety because I am sure he has performed the BBL on women who requested 2000cc's total but I don't see any pics. Also, I think Dr. S is more popular because he is the only Dr. with great work and reputation doing the surgery for under 6K. Dr. J is atleast 8-9K.. which sucks- price wise but as we both noticed his work is the bomb.

I didn't really pay much attention to the Dr's garments but I will pay closer attention now that you mentioned it. I figured I would just do a lil research on best garments out there. Another thing I noticed is people mentioned having a board or foam padding added either in the front stomach area or on the lower back area. I think Dr J does this but not sure if Dr. S inserts any type of padding to lay down the stomach after sx. Also Dr. J puts this triangle piece at the top of the butt crap area to mold a new shape sorta say.. would be nice if Dr. S did the same.

I haven't called the offices yet, being pregnant I hadn't even thought to do so. I am due in January so I am still thinking about how soon I want to have the sx done hopefully within the year post delivery. I keep thinking about timing and how I am going to be out of commission for almost 2 months. I do want to do it while my newborn is still fairly small only because I have a 11 month old boy and he is a piece of work. He is all over the place. I would rather do it while my baby is still small and able to be laid down in that one spot and I know she didn't crawl, or get away. Thx for chatting with me by the way I really appreciate it- hope your feeling well!!

Are any of you ladies familiar with Dr. Okoro in ATL?

It is important that you maintain a healthy diet including many fruits and vegetables. However, there are certain foods which naturally contain salicylates, which affect the blood, and should be kept to a minimum for two weeks before and two weeks after surgery. Cutting down on these foods will help reduce bruising after surgery. Now is the time to clean out your refrigerator and adjust your shopping lists for the weeks ahead.

Foods containing salicylates that should be kept to a minimum for two weeks before and two weeks after surgery:
Almonds Cherries Grapefruit Limes Peaches Raisins
Apricots Cucumber Grapes Nectarines Plums Tomatoes
Berries (all) Currants Lemons Oranges Prunes Vinegar

Two Weeks Before Surgery

Stop 2 weeks BEFORE until 2 weeks AFTER surgery:
• All Aspirin and Ibuprofen products including the drugs listed on the enclosed insert.
• All anti-inflammatory drugs used for arthritis. (Please consult your physician prior to discontinuing).
• All anti-coagulants
• Vitamin E taken internally
• If a medication is in question, call our office nurse.
THESE PRODUCTS MAY CAUSE EXCESSIVE BLEEDING!
START 2 weeks BEFORE until 2 weeks AFTER surgery (Strongly Recommended)

• Take a Multivitamin tablet daily. Most multivitamins contain some form of vitamin E, however this is acceptable to take prior to surgery. We do ask that you refrain from taking additional vitamin E.
• Take Vitamin A - 8,000-10,000 units, twice a day. This has well-documented beneficial effects on surgical healing and will also fuel your immune system.
• Take Vitamin C - 1,000 mg., twice a day. This is essential for collagen synthesis, which is part of normal wound healing. Your need for Vitamin C will increase after surgery.
• Take Bromelain - 1,000 mg., twice a day. (Pineapple enzyme - from a health food store) This helps to relieve the swelling associated with surgery.

For Liposuction patients only:
• Begin taking Slow Fe (non-prescription iron supplement) once daily.

One Week Before Surgery

BEGIN A LOW SODIUM DIET: (1 week BEFORE until 2 weeks AFTER procedure):
Limit sodium intake to 1200-1500 mg. daily. Limiting sodium will help you have less swelling and discomfort and allow you to heal faster after surgery.

GET PROPER NUTRITION AND REST: (1 week BEFORE until 2 weeks AFTER procedure):
• Avoid white carbohydrates such as bread, bagels, rice, potatoes, pasta and sweets.
• Eat healthy, regular meals.
• Eat 2 fruits and 3 green vegetables daily.
• Eat a small amount of protein at each meal.

IMPORTANT! Your diet can aid healing remarkably and reduce swelling and pain! THIS WEBSITE IF VERY INFORMATIVE >>>http://www.drjoannelopes.com/preparing.php#one
