BBL Here I Come... - Aventura, FL

So, recently in March I had a tummy tuck and BBL, however the tummy tuck results are pretty good but the BBL didn't really do much. I believe my doctor was afraid to be aggressive with the fat transfer because he said the tummy tuck was a pretty big procedure. However, he still took my money for both operations! Anyhow, after researching further I've decided to go see the famous Dr. Salama! I'm pretty confident I will walk out with much BIGGER results, lol....however my only fear is that it doesn't look the way I would like or that it may look to big and too fake.....

Hello BBL sisters....I'm trying to find a hotel/condo to stay at after surgery.....any suggestions?? Please let me know, thanks.

So I'm now considering to also get lipo in my arms, since my tummy tuck I'm ashamed to say I haven't been eating too well and I've been slacking on the gym bc of work (I use to work out 6 days a week, and I'm still not really in shape....smh). So I've gained some weight but bc of the lipo I had with the procedure it seems I'm gaining a lot in my upper body, especially my arms :(. Which I already needed to work on. So has anyone had their arms done? Is it worth it? I'm just nervous because I'll already be in pain from the bbl, so do I really want to add onto it by getting work on my arms as well. Also i dont want any cuts or major scars, what to do!?!

Hey Ladies, so i def need help on finding a place to stay, anyone have any suggestions? I only need it for 3-4 days because the first week i'm staying at my aunt's condo after the surgery but after that I need a place to stay a few extra days before I head back to NYC. If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

OMG, i'm starting to get so nervous, I've been seeing so many horror stories with the BBL, but I really want to get it done. I think my fear is for it to come out looking too fake. I do not want anything to crazy, but def an enhancement so it can look better. I feel like April is so far away, but really it will be here before I know it.

I'm having a hard time finding a place to stay. I...

I'm having a hard time finding a place to stay. I think I'll have to stay in a hotel. And how do ppl get others to respond on this site? Seems like I never get any responses lol.....

Ok, so I only have about 6 and 1/2 weeks left till my surgery date. I haven't really been on here because I'm not really familiar with using this site, and I don't know how to get people to comment and talk to me on this site, LOL. Anyways, I've booked my flights and accomodations and I'm pretty much ready to go. I am getting nervous because I do not want my butt to look "fake" or too big. However, I don't want to lose alot of the fat and show no difference at all. I feel confident in Dr. Salama, so hopefully things will go well but I'm def ready to get this over with, because I'm not looking forward to the recovery process, especially the massages. I plan on returning back to work after 2 weeks, does anyone feel I may not be able to make it back that quick? Any feedback comments or questions are greatly appreciated.... :)

So, I'm 10 days post op today! I came home early...

So, I'm 10 days post op today! I came home early from Miami today because I was dying out there, and getting homesick. I haven't updated since my surgery because it's been rough. Honestly, the pain isn't so bad, except for the massages!!!!, but it's extremely annoying and irritating to be in this condition. I'm trying my best to stay positive but it get irritating OFTEN. The garment I currently have on with the foam pads, drive me nuts! It's constantly running up my ass, literally.....and it feels like it cuts circulation off my arms when I try to lay down.

My only fear is that I may have sat on my butt too soon and too long. A few times in the car I rode in the front on my butt, using the bobby. Bc it was so uncomfortable to lay in the back of my friends car. Then I flew 2 1/2 hrs back home today, and I got up every 30 mins but only for 5-10 mins at a time. Now I'm home back on my stomach, and now I can lay on my side as well, which I wasn't able to do at first.

Anyways, I'm still undecided if I feel it's worth it, being that I still have several weeks if not months to really see my results. So far I do love it, I just can't wait till my butt is soft and drops a little, because it is a bit too big compared to how I wanted it. I know most girls want their ass HUGE, but I just wanted more volume, not outrageous. And currently it's pretty big, but at the same time I hope I don't lose too much and you can't even notice it anymore lol. So we'll see, only time can tell.

Hey there, welcome and thanks for sharing your experience with us. Have you already had your consultation with Dr. Salama or set a date for surgery?

newbootynyc 10 Aug 2012
Yes I have had a consolation and I'm set for surgery in April 2013.
Kirsty at RealSelf (Community Manager) 12 Aug 2012

Awesome! Congrats on setting your date.

Welcome newbooty. Do you mind sharing who your prior Dr. was? Also when are you having surgery?
newbootynyc 10 Aug 2012
My doctor was in NYC, I'd rather not disclose his name because he was great, but my bbl didn't come out how I really wanted it to look. I think he was afraid to be aggressive and probably wasn't experienced with the BBL procedures, because a lot of people don't get them done by him. So I am scheduled to see Dr. Salama in April 2013.
bootiebeauty78 10 Aug 2012
I understand. Just hope no one else is considering him thinking they will be satisfied with the results he gives. Good luck with your round 2 results :-)
newbootynyc 17 Aug 2012
Thank you, most people here go out of town for surgery so I think they will be better off.
