****I have to PULL OUT OF Salama for July 18th and reshedule, anyone want my date for JULY 18TH?****

Hey ladies. :) lol don't know where to begin.. well I'm 19 years old (will be 20 by time of procedure) 6'0" and 182 lbs.. I didn't originally want to get a bbl, just regular lipo on my stomach.. I've always liked my body since I was younger but I never liked my pooch..

Since I was a teenager I've been very self concious and would wear oversized hoodies or suck in my stomach so nobody could see it.. lol.. For a few years I've also been trying hard to exercise the weight off but haven't had much success, I always seem to stay the same size. I've never had a flat tummy.. so I decided earlier this year upon lipo.

I originally started looking at plastic surgeons in New York because I didn't even think about traveling out of state yet.. so I checked online and through a few searches I discovered real self.. I found a board certified PS that had good reviews here so I decided to have the consultation.. however after I left his office somehow *I* wasn't sure if I would like my results.. even though the doc seemed confident.. and I wanted to make sure I choose the right PS, because I didn't wanna go for a second round..

I promised myself this would be the 1st & last time I did this. Not only could he not guarentee what I had wished (flat tum tum)...but he was charging over 2000 just for deposit.. So I basically forgot about it cause I thought that was kinda ridic.

Soo, I came back to real self, a little down...because I didn't see any other PS's in New York that I was confident about, despite good reviews.. I didn't know how things would turn out cause most patients didn't seem to have my body type.. and I was scared I'd regret it if I just went with a surgeon I was 50/50 on.. so I started looking in the BBL section somehow lol..

I didn't even know what bbl was at first so I started reading some of the ladies posts.. and discovered that BBL might be an even better option! Taking the fat from my stomach and putting it on my butt.. At first I didn't even think about my booty, but then it slowly started dawning on me that I wasn't blessed with a backside.. and not that I really cared for it.. but I started to think about it (like almost everyday lmao). I thought my body would look better if it was proportioned like an hourglass.. I thought I might look better in clothes.. So that's what I decided in the end, that I was going for it.

Most of the ladies I saw had went with Dr. Salama, and they had some amazing results, ones that I was impressed with. So I did a consultation (virtual; with the pics shown above), and was very happy with what I heard.. and the staff seemed pretty friendly when I was talking to them.. so I made the deposit (which I'm happy was reasonable).. I'm set for 7/18/13 and I'm excited but nervous at the same time..

Never had surgery in my life and don't know how dramatically different I'll be, just hope it's all worth it and that Dr. S can fufill my wishes. ^.^ I'm also excited my mom will be coming out to FL with me and that she was ok with traveling out of state.. I want to say thank you to all the ladies for their posts, and their honesty with everything, because it really helped in making that decision.. guess I'll keep you updated within time.. til then just looking at other posts.. Take care! ?
