“Brazilian Butt Lift Finally Scheduled for Jan 2012! - Aventura, FL”

I finally made the decision to go ahead and get the procedure and i'm so excited! I weigh 175 and im 5'8. I tried working out to get the figure I wanted but I would loose the weight from the areas I didn't want to lose it from! I can't wait to keep everybody updated through the whole process.

Well im getting much closer to my surgery date! Im a little scared, anxious, nervous, and happy all at the same time! I'm about to post some before pics so it should be easy to see the transformation after surgery. I look on this site everyday and I'm amazed at the results of Dr. Salama's patients...when i first joined site, there wasnt many patients of his on here. In the next week im going to start putting together a pre surgery bag....feel free to help me decide what should go into the bag to facilitate the healing process :)

Also, im trying to make sure I have gotten all necessary item that I will need for recovery. Fee free to list some things for me! Im wanting a very small waisteline and a hugh A$$!.

Today I am 3 days post op and I must say it's getting better and better by the day. The first day was ROUGH! I was nervous as hell and to top it off, I walk into my Vanidades at 7:15am for my surgery and the nurse didnt speak english! Luckily there was another patient there with me to translate. The anesthesiologist was great. He spoke english and made me feel comfortable. I asked him how long it would take to put me to sleep and he said 20 secs once the meds were given! WOW! Crazy thing is, he told me he still had 10 mins of prepping to do, but once he was done we would countdown together. THAT NEVER HAPPENED LOL! Next thing I knew, I was in recovery...lol. I had my first massage yesterday which did hurt but not too bad to where its unbearable. My next check up/massage is tommorrow at 8am. What I hated the most was the garment and having to use the bathroom! YES, the garment has a opening at the bottom but urine still gets everywhere EVEN WITH A FUNNEL. Now that I can move around better, I've decided to pull garment down to use bathroom, which isn't as bad as I thought. My overall experience was great! I would definitely recommend the doctor for this procedure. He gets A++. Now, my Vanidades on the other hand, I would only recommend if you speak spanish. There is a lot of confusion in the front office and entirely too many people hands on. The facility is gorgeous, clean and of course CERTIFIED! Dr. Salamas works out of many facilities so if I was to get anything else done, I would look into having it done at another facility. Until next time my bootylicous bombshells.....

Sleeping is also a challenge. What position is everyone sleeping in?

Everything is going good for the most part. I got my drains removed today and that was a great feeling of relief. I notice I have burns on my sides and the doctor said it comes from the garment. Has anyone else experienced this with Lipo? He removed the dead skin so now I have to wait patiently on them to heal SIGH....

Everything is going pretty well! I just want these burns to heal. Its taking away from my sexy lol. Im trying to take more pics but I can't get it from right angle. Im going to call a friend over to take some pics for me....stay tuned...

Hello Bootlicious bombshells.....Tomorrow will be 3 weeks post op for me and I feel great! Of course I am still a little sore, I still have swelling, burns on skin, and burning and stinging sensation from lipo. I have lost some volume(of course). Most of the volume was lost the first week, I guess its majority from the swelling going down. I'm happy I lost the volume that I did because for a minute I was feeling like Sha Nae Nae from Martin. I felt like I had a high sitting ass on my back!HAHA!!! Im still waiting for my back swelling to go down so I can see more definition on the top of my butt....my waiste and getting smaller and more defined by the day....overall very happy with my results...check out more recent pics below...

Hello ladies! I am 4 weeks and 2 days post op! Feeling good and walking great. I still get stiff when I sit down then try and get up and walk around but it wears off quick. I still have alot of swelling that I want to go down cause I cant quite see the definition on the top of my butt yet. My burns are healing great (Thank God)! More pics posted below...In the pics for 4 weeks post op, I dont have on compression garment. I only have on Assets shapewear by Spanx from Target to help with swelling during times I wear clothes that I cant wear compression garment with.
