BBL Touch Up - 1 Week Post Op - Aventura, FL

Been a LONG time since I've been on realself! I had been thinking aboit a breast reduxtion for almost 10 years but keep talking myself out of it. But in the last year or so i had been experiencing more back and neck pain and stiffness than ever, so i finally decided to just do it. I had expwrience with dr. Salama before so thats why i chose him again. I had a bbl with dr. Salama in 2012, and a revision in 2013. I think I had a really weird butt shape originally because the bbl just wasn't looking right after both rounds... one side with wider and sagging and the other side was a different shape. I don't think this was dr. Salamas fault jst my own body shape and maybe my paranoia. But dr. Salama was patient with me crazy lol, and he listened to my concerns and problems. I had a breast reduction and bbl revision and even though I'm only a week postop, Im happy and I feel good, hardly any pain at all! Mostly just sore and tired.

For the breast reduction, he did a T incision and brought me down to a full C cup from what has been sized as a G and H cup in the past. It was impossible to find bras, especially since they were pendulous and needed a ton of support to hold them up. Im talking all type of suspensions, straps, cables, bridges, pillars, and a graduate level engineering degree to keep these [RS bleep] off the floor. The right [RS bleep] was bigger than the left one and they were flopping all over the place just in the way all the time. Dr. Salama is a life saver, he explained how the surgery would work, he explained the risks and mentioned he has never personally experienced any major complications with this surgery. He also explained that my breasts where two different sizes and shapes, and the crease was different on both, so he would have to do a little bit different procedure on each one.

The bbl revision was just a tiny bit of fat transfer to a small dent on my left cheek and lip on my right cheek. Thats right, i made it smaller lol. The right cheek was bigger and wider with droopiness so he noticed that and lipoed that area. This surgwry was NOTHING compared to the pain i felt the first time. While i was in the office i noticed some girls who were going through it for the first time. If you are one of those girl mannn... more power to you! I know how brutal that first surgery is, i did it 4 years ago and i still remember that pain like it was yesterday! Yall are troopers!

Dr. S was and still is and awesome surgeon. His BBL looks better and better as i see with the newer girls coming in. He has literally done thousands of BBL since i went in 2012 and has smoothed his process quite a bit to ensure great results. I dont think my previous issues were typical because my body is clearly weird and grows however it wants to lol. Naturally, my butt was lopsided, [RS bleep] lopsided, so dr. S had his plate full with me. He still hooked me up tho. I will add pics soon, but my previous reviews have pics as well.

Happy healing yall

So I am 6 weeks post op...I feel normal and life is good :) I am very happy I did the revision. My stomach looks AMAZING in comparison to before. Also, the weird shelf in the back looks perfect now :) BUTTTTT...I have one qualm. My butt is still noticeably lopsided! :( When I went for the surgery, I kept thinking I should ask Dr. Salama to take some of the fat out of the bigger side. It is REALLY BIG and it even sags a little big at the bottom but I guess in my greed I just wanted two big butt cheeks. Now, the side he worked on has a great shape but it is still smaller. It looks like one nice cheek, one mutant cheek haha. It does bother me still, and I am beating myself up that I didn't ask him to do that...ugh! Ladies, if something is on your mind during round two SPEAK UP!!! Even if you think it is something small...you don't know how it will look after you get the revision. So, I am still waiting for my final result but I seriously doubt my smaller side will grow to match my bigger side. Honestly, I really like the shape of it and I wish they were both the same size as the smaller one. I am going to email Dr. Salama pics at 3 months so he can see...I know this may sound shocking and soooo greedy...but if he offers to fix that one small problem I would probably jump on the chance. I don't need any more lipo or fat transferred at all...I just need a tiny bit taken out of the bigger side so it doesn't sag and it looks even. Godddd, do I sound greedy ladies? Believe me, I wouldn't mind going for round 3 knowing what a walkin in the park round 2 was. And the fact I would need any lipo or anything just makes it sound so much better. I bet if Dr. S reads this he is just shaking his head haha...us girls must be sooooo annoying being so nit-picky. Anyway, I really hope he offers to do that, I would definitely go for it. If not I understand, he can't just give out free touch ups for life lol! DR. SALAMA THIS WOULD BE THE LAST ONE, I PROMISE!!! lol!

Anyways, If you ladies want to see what I am talking about, please message me with an email address...I will be more than happy to email pics but I don't really want to post anymore on a public forum. I hope you understand. Also, I am VERY busy with a full time job plus part time student so if I don't respond right away, I will try my best to get back to you.

Happy Healing!

So I'm 4 weeks post op today. I stopped wearing the garment about 2 weeks ago for a couple reasons. One, it was not compressing AT ALL. It was actually extremely loose and would bunch up around the midsection. Secondly, it was chaffing my inner thighs and girl stuff very very badly. I broke out into a bad rash that hurt when I walked. And lastly, the back strap constantly rubbed the wound in the back, keeping it open and inflamed and I was scared it would get infected. It is still open even though all the other wounds closed 2 weeks ago...I used the binder from contourmd.com which had good compression but it bunch up a lot. My tummy is still a little hard but it's flat, no buises, minimal discoloring and its getting softer, but back is completely soft and nothing hurts at all, although at times there is still some stiffness/tenderness.

The lipo on my stomach was perfect, he took out the pocket of fat and it looks great now, also the dent in the shelf is fixed at looks normal. My butt is still pretty lopesided and interestingly, I feel a little more self conscious about it now than I did right before my surgery, even though it looks a little bit better now. It's crazy because even though I have done this before, experienced the post-surgery blues before, and have been overall positive about this experience, I still experienced it again a little bit round 2 again.

All in all, I am happy with the results of round 2...I'm not sure how much will change in the next few weeks but everything seems to be healed up now.
