I was actually only interested in a Brazilian Butt Lift but Dr Salama recommeded a tummy tuck as well. I actually did the consult via internet and phone so I might only need a mini tuck that will be determined in person.

So I spoke with Ruben again...he is awesome..I wonder how he looks? But anyways the tummy tuck usually goes for 4500 and a mini tuck for 2500. He also said I could separate both surgeries.....I could have bbl first and then tt a month later...not sure what to do.. Surely I will save money combining them but I am more concern with post op recovery. Although Ruben did mention that tt and bbl are common and recovery is not as bad as you think..

He also recommended lipo of inner thighs for 400 extra

Any tips and advice appreciated!

Paid my deposit for May 20....whoop whoop...can't believe he was so booked. I wanted to have surgery in April sooooo now I have to wait an extra month.....wish I could get this over with already. I think the waiting is going to kill me....geez..but none the least very excited...I think hubby is more excited than me ;)

So now I'm trying to eat healthy and do some exercise. Not trying to lose weight but want to be in good physical shape for surgery..lots of walking and zumba classes till then....

So surgery rescheduled for October :(
Had to buy a car. But I guess I could plan a little better for my surgery. So ladies there is an opening for May 14 if anyone is interested. Loving everyone's result so far on this site so I am confident my results will be just as good.

My rating:

I can't really rate the doctor because I haven't met or spoken to Dr Salama...but hs brother Ruben is awesome. I'm really confident Dr Salama will be able to meet my expectations.

@kristy I haven't gotten the prep work done but I can't wait..really nervous too.

@got2love..I haven't scheduled surgery yet. I called and spoke with Ruben and the earliest available is april 16; I'm traveling from NY and it seems to be spring break season so the airfare and hotel are very expensive..do you have a date yet? And I don't want to wait for may cuz it's gonna be too hot to wear a girdle...lil bit of a dilemma.
Got2loveit 27 Jan 2012
yes me prettyncurvy;and SuperEstatic on June3rd good luck girlie you should come in June flights are cheaper
Hoping for a Booty 27 Jan 2012
Omg ...June.. I could only image the heat and wearing a girdle...well maybe I could get central air at home...I will check that out...thanks :)
Got2loveit 27 Jan 2012
yea i'm hoping the heat will help my waist shrink
BadApple 1 Feb 2012
@Got2loveit Same here:-) weight loss from sweat loss. I scheduled in June on the 1st. I haven't looked into hotels yet...are staying in a hotel? If so, did you find a good rate? I have relatives there but they live 3hrs away
Thanks
Got2loveit 9 Feb 2012
I have a brother therr also three hrs away i agree weight loss from sweat loss. love tht..... i was goin with two friends frm realself we r renting a townhouse and splitting cost try gettn a condo r something homey
BadApple 21 Feb 2012
@Got2Loveit that sounds like a good idea... I'm suprised you were able to find other ppl getting surgery around that time. Seems like everyone is trying to get it way before the summer. But June is still good timing. We'll complete full recovery by 2nd/3rd wk of July.
MyNUSelf 29 Jan 2012
Def do it together.... You do not want go go thru pain and recovery two separate when u can get it all done in one shot... Besides they give you enough pain meds that u won't feel a thing.... Go for it and good luck!!!
BadApple 1 Feb 2012
I was wondering the same thing about Ruben lol. I also didnt consider the heat for i booked for june 1st. I didn't realize there was two different tummy tucks. Do you know which on is included in the BBL and TT combo?
Hoping for a Booty 1 Feb 2012
The tummy tuck depends on the extent of "damage" on your belly. If you only have loose skin then maybe a mini tuck. If you have loose skin and muscle then a full tummy tuck. He recommended a full tummy tuck but I kinda already knew I needed one. The total price is 8700 which includes tummy tuck, lipo of arms and inner thigh and back, and the butt lift.
The full tummy tuck is included in the combo per Ruben, if is a mini tuck then it would be less :)
Hoping for a Booty 1 Feb 2012
@mynuself...I have decided to just combine the two and be miserable for the first few days..Beauty doesn't come easy! lol
BadApple 1 Feb 2012
Thanks. That sounds about right for me. I wouldve a full anyway (go big or go home) from all the years of losing and gaining weight.
I would should stick with getting them both done at the same time to get over with.
Have you told anyone who really know you that your getting this done? I'm just bc my whole family and most friends know my shape (no a$$) I just don't know if I should say I did get work done or lost weight and it went to my butt lol. I have a hard time lying is my problem
Hoping for a Booty 1 Feb 2012
@badapple I have told a few people but then stopped when I would get negative feedback and all the reasons why I shouldn't have it done; guess jeolousy or lack funds to get their own damn surgery. But, that's the least of my worries. I'm going from flat to fabulous. I'll probably will be very honest about tummy tuck and how that surgery just made my whole body look better...lol...
BadApple 1 Feb 2012
Fabulous. Your doing it for yourself and thats all that matters :-)
I had to at least tell my sister. She would call me out and ask if I'm wearing my butt pad. Yes I shamelessly owned a few booty "enhancement" products lol But not many know about the surgery. I even temporarily deleted my facebook until I unveil the new me.
Ps
If you don't mind, do updates on your weight loss.
Hoping for a Booty 2 Feb 2012
LoL...butt pads! I had a pair once until my boo smack the booty and it sounded like a pillow :( but yes, I will definitely keep with updates. My surgery hopefully is for April 16... I'm hoping to just loose fat around my waist, arms, and back since my thighs and legs are kinda thin.
BadApple 2 Feb 2012
terrible. i wish i could move mine up. ive always had small legs which is why at first, i did't understand why he recommended the inner thigh lipo. they do rub or put delicately, they kiss lol but i thought that was normal. never knew why some guys go crazy for girls with thigh gaps.
enjoyself 3 Feb 2012
OMG, You're too funny with that butt pads incident. You got me laughing soo hard, it hurts!!!! You WON'T be needing those butt pads anymore after Dr. Salama worked his magic on your bootay. Anyway, those questions you asked me yesterday, I answered it on my review blog. Best of luck to you!!!
Hoping for a Booty 4 Feb 2012
@badapple I am changing the date to April 20 since it's cheaper to travel on Wednesday. Yeah I didn't understand either the lipo of inner thighs since I have kinda thin thighs already but I think it as to do with how he contours the booty. It makes it pop. I'm all for it.

@enjoyself...glad to make you laugh. Thanks I read all UR answers and took notes...lol...I'm going to look into the vitamins and arnica like you said. Thanks for all the great advice.
optimistic143 4 Feb 2012
hellohows your recovery going?? lol i used to own butt pads and got embarassed when my ass was slapped and then that person asked what was that noise? oh gosh lol those things r embarassing, glad to have the real thing now!
Miss New Booty 8 Feb 2012
Lol you lady's are funny. I own a pair of booty pops and stop wearing them cuz I thought I looked ridiculous and wanted sum real azz! Lol I keep hearing that the gap between the thighs is sexy. I never had one cuz I got thunder thighs for days! So that's gonna be a big change for me having a breeze flow thru there lol good luck ladies I'm 7 days away from my surgery date!!!
BadApple 8 Feb 2012
Sounds like we all had our share of booty pops lol. I feel the same way about thigh thing. I was almost thinking why make the thighs appear smaller but in a way it almost makes the hip area look wide...idk its going to feel weird if with them not touching. They will be missed. I pray that your surgery goes well!!!
Hoping for a Booty 8 Feb 2012
@optimistic just saw your pics and let me tell yooooou......you looking hawt....your booty looks awesome...so happy everything turned out great...no more butt pads lol...my surgery is for may15 :)

Miss New Booty 8 Feb 2012
