I've always wanted liposuction but never had the guts nor the money to do it. After finally getting approved financing I wanted to do the BBL but was to expensive and will be waiting until next year for that. I fnally chose Dr. Moises Salama because of how good his reviews were and he's the BBL God.

I'm a local to Miami so it won't be expensive as some other people getting it done. I'm 22 5'3 and weigh 160lbs I weighed initially 200 but lost some weight but was told not to loose anymore since my skin hasn't sagged and that helps. I will post some before pics and will post my after pics when I can.I wll be getting lipo off my arms, back, abdomen and flanks.

Sorry I haven't posted many updates. I will...

Sorry I haven't posted many updates. I will definetely post after pics but keep in mind I also added a brazilian butt lift so my results may differ in the back department. My surgery is in 6 days and I'm having lipo of my arms, back, abdomen, flanks and inner thighs with the addition of the BBL. Wish me luck, I will be posting my preop measurements the day before my surgery.

OMG I never imagined how excruiating the pain is. I'm so weak I only managed to take one pic. I'll be showering today and I will post some more pics maybe tonight.

I got 900 ccs on each butt cheek. I like the way the bottom and sides look just not the shelf look but the doctor says this all goes down in time. Ladies do not get lipo of your arms and a BBL it hurts so much. Im constantly taking off my arm sleeves. Its a roller coaster some times I feel good sometimes I cry and sometimes I even regret doing this cause of the pain. Im posting a pic its not that good but its a sneek peek. I prolly wont post until Im less bruised maybe in a week when they take my drains out.

So after 13 days I switched to a medium garment with boards and pads on. Haven't posted any pics yet since I'm still very swollen and i'm waiting for a burn mark to leave from my waist. Only cons to this surgery is that i'm anemic roght now so trying to eat lots of meats and iron and headaches that come and go. Will post pics when I buy new clothing seeing as none of my jeans fit over this huge butt lol.

Im about 19 days post op and will finally be able to sit next week. My body is still swollen and it gets swollen if I don't wear my garment all day so thats a must. Im currently a medium but its starting to fit me loose so i'll prolly switch to a smaller garment next week.

Hello! I see you got lipo done looks amazing! I just got my lipo done 5days ago in my abdominal area. It's 5day and I am not sure if I can tell it looks wavy and it looks big maybe from the swollening? So typically the dr. is telling me it takes 5-6 weeks to really see it. So how was your process done. Did u freak out right after the surgery?
