I have decided to start my blog regarding my tummytuck and mini bbl with Dr. Salama. The time is coming real soon and I'm excited! I had a breast reduction and lipo and bbl in 2012. I thought that the lipo would get rid of the excess fat, but that was not the case. So, here I go again and I pray that every thing turns out well. I will keep in contact as I get closer to the date! That's all for now!

To the hospital/surgery center not much. At home I kept it simple. Ice packs, heating pad, peroxide, pads for that, tylenol, womans urinal (love this), senicot (a must use!), a puke bucket, lose sweat pants, food, water and straws, gas x and cough drops..and arnica gel. I slept in bed, hung in the sofa, and did well keeping it simple.

Thank you 46 and fab because I keep things simple as well. So, I think I will bring very little with me. I think some people have waayy too much of a list and I know that I can't keep up with that and most things are not even needed!

Hi, I guess we are opposite, because I had my tt last year and just had my bbl two weeks ago, lol. I think the most important thing to bring is an ice pack, it makes a huge difference! I had it on my back almost everyday and night. Pack lightly because you won't use half the clothes you think you will. I personally think the tt was easier to recover from because the bbl feels like I'm carry around alot of extra weight and you don't have to wear this damn garment! Anyways, best of luck and you will love Team Salama, I wish I went there the first time!

Thank you newbootynyc, Im also getting a mini bbl with my tummytuck, I really need some hips so Im hoping that Dr. S will make that happen and make my butt a little more round!!! I think I will be on my butt, so I hope that will not due too much damage, Im going to just use a lot of cushion and hope for the best. Also, I did so good without adding alot of pressure to my butt before, so I will way a little to no pressure when I lay down for at least three weeks. You really dont need to do it any longer than that. There are so many different myths, Im just going to go on how I feel that fat is taking

They will probably do a mini bbl, but you will only get a certain amount of cc's. I really think if you have to get the tt first and then get the bbl last. Are you thinking of going to Cortes?

User Avatar
June 3, 2013
The mini bbl you get less cc's. Some women want lik 1000-1200 and you only get 500 ;( LOL but I need my tummytuck! So that will have to do!

No, Im just taking the vitamin c 1000 mg and my doctor jsut ordered me the iron for 325 mg and I have the bromelian but I have not start taking that yet! I juice everyt morning spinach, kale organe juice and managos. Thats all!!! Yes, three months will be here before you know it!! Did you ask about the mini bbl or do you want a full bbl? I suggest you get the full because you might want another round. I had a previous bbl so I should be okay because I dont want a HUGE ass!!! lol

I'm not really dwelling on it too much! Just try to not think about it so much,,,the day is coming soon though. This is not my first surgery, so maybe thats why Im not tripping.....I will probably get a little nervous the day of surgery when I get the IV for surgery. But at that time you fall right to sleep and wake up and dont even realize what happened. LOL
