Brazilian Butt Lift: Stories

Good luck

good luck with everything tomorrow. ur going to look great!!

Hi everyone,
I have decided to do the bbl because I never really had a booty. I have a small one and I work out but want a nice booty and get rid of the love handles.
I am thinking of going to dr. Soto or Dr. Salama, I have heard amazing things about Dr Salama but not too much about Dr. Soto in Orlando ....also I checked out Dr. Menedieta in Miami but he seems expensive. I am in a remote part of Michigan so these procedures are not done on too many around here. lol Any suggestions would be appreciated girls thanks.

Thank you sweeties, I can't wait! I'm getting more and more nervous as the day approaches which is 16 April 2012. I am trying to get the smallest waist possible to go with my hips and butt. I don't want alot of fat trasferred to my butt because I don't want a rediculously fake looking ass. I know that he will do a great job bringing my waist in! I wish the best of luck to all of you guys and I hope that all of your results are AMAZING!

You are going to be killing them when you get your bbl

Girrrrl, you have a cute shape already!!! If I were you..honestly I wouldnt do a thing. But I can understand if your not happy and just wanting some improvements. I agree with kaybelle, I cant wait to see your afters. Good luck to you..

Aww thank you kaybelle. I can't wait to have this done! Did you ever decide on rather you were going with Dr. Salama or not? I am about to post the hotels that Ruben Salama sent me. He told me that the Marbay hotel is the hotel that most people stay at because it offers a discount to all of Dr. Salama's patients. Good look sweetie!

you have an amazing body already! your results are gonna come out looking so BOMB. i can not wait to see! good luck!!

Hi. My decision for Dr. Salama came from reviews from this forum. I've never had surgery before and was nervous. I can't wait along time for something like this. So Ruben was able to get me in on November 21, 2011, which was 3 weeks after I'd decided to have it done.

I flew in in Sunday the 20th. Had a consultation with Dr. Salama to discuss what he was going to do the following morning. I paid for a tummy tuck and bbl. But he saw I had some excess fat on my inner thigh and told me he's going to get rid of that as well as lipo the area right below the tummy tuck to ensure it's all smooth and flat. I thought, cool because other consultations I've had, they charge for additional lipo areas which aren't one of the 3 donor sites for bbl. I didn't want a tummy tuck because if the incision, but after he explained why it's better for the results I want, I felt okay with it. I was the first patient 6am arrival time, which I preferred. I wore a binder for 7 days, then they put me in a compression garment. My mom came with me, which I highly recommend because I can't see how some were able to do things alone. I want to recover as quick as possible so I'm nit putting any more strain in myself than necessary. I didn't look at myself until the compression garment was put on, and the results a week post op were what I was hoping to achieve overall. Given I'm quite swollen in my midsection, I can see once I fully recover the results will surpass my expectations. Visually, my waist is soo small, with the inner thigh lipo and me already having size D boobs, and the bbl, my clothes fit better already because my stomach is gone. Didn't measure myself yet for personal reasons. Am not measuring until 2 months post op if then. But I feel I've lost more weight just because of not being able to eat nearly as much, mainly soups and lots of water, gaterade and pineapple juice. I was walking very very very slowly since the second day post op. Now I'm walking more, still a little bent over, but feel much better. Not taking pain meds. But if you want more details contact me and we can discuss further.

Congrats! I booked my surgery with Dr. Salama for May 29th right after Memorial Day Weekend. I figured that I will go down to Miami and enjoy the festivities first.

Hi hellokitty15......I was advised to stay in Florida for at least 8-10 days after surgery. I have done sooo much research on this surgery and from what I understand, we are restricted from sitting directly on our butts for 2 weeks after. I am staying the full 2 weeks before I travel back home to avoid altering my results in any way. This is just my personal decision. I am a yellowbone girl and I bruise very easy too, so I know where you are coming from. I am sure Dr. Salama will give us some guidance on what to use for the swelling and bruising. Scaring is very minimal with the final results of this surgery from what I have read and seen. From looking at several afterpics, I know that I don't notice any scars. I am not a doctor, so the only answers I can give you are conclusions I have come up with based off of my research for this procedure. I was sent a list of hotels in the region, one of them being a hotel that offers discounted rates to patients of Dr. Salama. If you send me a message with your email address, I will email them to you. I hope this helps sweetie.

Hi ladies my BBL is on Dec. 14 with Dr. Salama. I booked at the San Juan hotel, based on the reviews its the only clean, safe place at a very reasonable price. Have any of you spoken to any previous BBL patients from Dr. Salama? Im so worried about wrinkled or loose skin after lipo :(

Thanks it did help so will a week be enough time or 10 days to stay in Florida? any cheap hotels in the area??bestwestern is 100 a night yikes. I'm a redbone n bruise/ scar easily. Do the scars clear up?? Can I use any creams for them if so what??

Once you pay your down payment you should have spoken to one of his coordinators to book your appointment. As soon as I paid, I set a date. You can change your date at any time with no penalty as long as you give them 2 weeks in advance, so if you are unsure exactly when you want to go, you can always change it. I hope this helps hellokitty15.

Can someone give me info on how you set your date for the procedure?? After you put the down payment can I book a date right then in there? Is there a wait? I spoke to Dr. Sal a.ma and he said upon arrival first day is consultation next day the procedure after that day a massage skip a day then drainage tubes ate removed after that day one more massage and after that 8 or 9 day home. How l

I'm having my bbl with Dr. Salama on Feb 22nd it looks like u have a nice shape & u won't need that many cc's maybe 400-500 . Good Luck with your surgery.

Hey congrats on your decision. well I may be booking with salama as well still comparing doctors for those dates so I will let you know.

Thank you Jay9632, I hope everything works out great for you too. I am super excited! I will be going to Miami around April 16, 2012. Is there anyone that will be there around that time?

Honestly, I would b more than happy if I had what u have, but I do hope everything works out great.

get at least 800 ccs, you have to keep in mind that some of the fat absorbs, but you are going to look good because you have a nice shape. im thinking of getting a little fat added to the hips as well because i never had them!!

Hi dolls....when I talked to Dr. Salama, he told me that he could get 700-800 CCs of fat per cheek. I wanted 1000 at first, but I now think that will be a little too extreme. I don't want a buffie ass...just a rounder one and my small waist back : ). How many CCs of fat do you guys think I should aim for?

Thanx you guys I will be sure to keep u posted on any info I come across...oh and of course my after pics when they are available. Thank you sweeties : ).
