24 Days Post-Op-
Before I start my update I want to first state that everything I'm about to say has NOTHING to do with Dr. Salama, his work, or his technique. The man is an absolute artist, and I still stand behind EVERYTHING I have said about him. He is amazing, and does wonders for the female body. I am still entirely happy I chose him, and still believe he is the BEST plastic surgeon for BBL and body contouring!
Ok, now on to my sadness.... Thursday morning I woke up and noticed loss in volume. I proceeded to do measurements (I've been obsessing with the tape measure!), and I lost an inch and a half LITERALLY over night. I cried all day yesterday. I feel like I have no projection now. At this point, I know I haven't lost any fat, what I have is what I will keep, but I lost all my swelling and inflammation, so hopefully I will lose NOTHING more. I'm going to wait until Tuesday to post pics, because that will be my 4 week mark, but it's noticeably smaller. I was sooooo happy with it before Thursday. I already thought it was a little small, but had gotten so used to it at that size, and fell in love. I feel like I lost a loved one or something. I just want my booty back. I mean, I still look amazing. I def still have a good bit back there, but I'm just so disappointed. I am beyond happy with my shape, my waist, all the lipo, and the shape of my bottom... It's just the size I'm sad about. But I must emphasize that I knew this would happen going in. If u read my previous update you'll see I was concerned with my elasticity. But it's hard, seeing yourself so damn fine, then waking up and it's gone. Now I'm just waiting for the 2 month mark so this thang can fluff!! I still have hope, but I will say round 2 is a most definite.

Hmmm can I just say that I totally understand. I haven't been measuring but I took off my garment and am now wearing thong and I feel like my booty got smaller overnight and today I'm a bit sad about it.... I did try on a pair of pants that was too tight now it hugs my booty and not waist. Perhaps we will wake up tomorrow and be bigger. I hope...
August 3, 2012
Yes imma goo look at my butt after work today (side eye) lol. See if any more fat is running away lol.
August 3, 2012
Honestly i think so but not sure. I am going to buy a tape measure tomorrow. I'm confused just took a look it seems to be all there...
August 3, 2012
Girl lemme tell u how u sound exactly like me at that point. Butt don't worry after the 4 weeks it starts rounding up and fluffing out ...Now my booty looks more like its getting. Bigger than shrinking and round 2 is still a possibility. As well but more to take out fat out of my upper back and arms .maybe not tOo. TOo much more fat to the back . I think we will look fat if we make our buTts tooo big .
August 3, 2012
Mizz New New, no lie, I've thought about you a few times today. I remember you going through this at my time. It's been reassuring, because I know you're happy now, so thank you. I totally agree with you about it making us look too fat if we go too big, but I just want it to be how it was. It was perfect :-( ughh this is the worst roller coaster ride I've ever been on!
August 3, 2012
Lol I feel u ..- do miss dat booty from the beggining ...I was da new nicki minaj lol. But it was harder to fit in clothings witout my crack out lol...but u will be fine ur body looks amazing ...do wat I do every now and than I just start doing squatz in my room
August 3, 2012
I'll be 4 weeks on Tuesday. I was so excited to sit, and I was gna start working out a little bit, but now I'm terrified!! When did u stop noticing loss of volume? I do NOT wanna lose anymore!
August 3, 2012
I stopped noticing shrinkage I think at like 7 weeks .. And I didn't sit till9 week.working out was a lil rough. At 2 weeks I was doing weights .At 4 weeks I was doing squatz and this little stepper I have ..7 weeks I officially hit the gym but. Just lasted 30 minutes ..trust your going to feel like ur butt is a lot of weight
August 4, 2012
Giro you are fierce! Better than me! I didn't dare do anything strenuous before 4 weeks! I just started stretching (I know, shoulda been doing that WEEKS ago!) but dang :-( I really hope I don't lose any more. Have u noticed any fluffing yet?? You're almost to that point where it should be happening!
August 3, 2012
THANKS FOR KEEPING IT REAL. HONESTLY, I AM GOING INTO THIS THINKING ABOUT A ROUND 2. BUT I APPRECIATE YOUR HONESTY.
August 3, 2012
I did, as well. I knew I would need round 2, but damn it woulda been nice to have that booty in the mean time....
August 3, 2012
i hear ya. hopefully, u don't have to pay the same price for round 2. I go see Nomie next Friday so I am gonna ask her that question too.
August 4, 2012
They only charge you for anesthesia and supplies. Last time I checked it was $1,500. But I emailed Ruben today asking him.
August 3, 2012
Hey, FabNewMe...I hope you're not feeling too down. Sometimes I worry about how much of an emotional rollercoaster this whole thing is mentally :-/...but, if you don't mind me asking, I just wanted to know what your before and after measurements are- including the recent loss of volume?
August 3, 2012
I think it all depends On your diet fabnewme because I believe that even thought u lost a bit Of volume I been eating Good fats like fish penuts and am getting fulller as long as u keep your waist cinched up your fat should go to your booty I will post new pic's soon. But try that and don't get depressed you will be fine. The other thing is that if you are on a starving diet you will shrink from fatty arreas and we dont want that. But to me you look great girl but you have to do what makes u happy.

3 weeks PO-
I had a GREAT massage yesterday, finally, I just hope it wasn't too late. My stomach looks horrible. It's so lumpy, and I have lines on the bottom. I'm praying it corrects itself. I still have swelling in my lower abdomen, upper pubic area & groin. I've started using a heating pad, and have noticed the swelling going down. Still have swelling on my feet, ankles & calves from standing all day.
Posted a few pics. The before/afters of me in the peach bra & panties, the before is the day before surgery, and the after was taken today at 3 weeks post op. The pics with the garment on, I have pads in the front stomach part, but none in the back.
So far, I'm very happy with my results. Clothes look AMAZING on me, and I can't stop shopping! I fully realize I still have a long road ahead of me, but as I stated before I was fully aware that I do want a round two. I want more hips, and more projection, as well as more of my upper back fat, and front bra/armpit area lipoed. I knew going in that I wouldnt achieve my desired results the first time, but with that being said, I am SOOOO happy so far. He really did more for me, waaaaaay more than I thought the first round. Keep in mind ladies, that my skin on my bottom was very tight. Very, very tight. That's why I wasn't expecting a HUGE booty. But I def got more than I was expecting. My body is amazing, and I'm sooooo happy with it, so we'll just see how it changes over the next 5 months. Who knows, I may change my mind :-)
