“Seven week update WITH PICS!!!..BBL in Aventura -March 29th”

I have been working out five days a week for years now. Yet I am such a perfectionist when it comes to my body, and there is just certain areas I can't seem to tone up. For instance, my back, stomach, and flanks have always had this little bit of fat that I want gone and I think the only way is through liposuction. Also my butt is in shape, but I want it bigger! So this procedure seems perfect for me!

I' am 5'3 and 145 pounds, but my body fat percentage is like 24% so I don't have A LOT of fat on me. After sending my photos to Dr. Salama for review I told him I was looking for at least 800 cc per cheek but he said he thinks he can do 500-700 so I have been advised to gain weight..which I have been!!! At this point I don't know how many CC's I should get, I' am scared to have too big of a butt and I don't want everyone to assume I had something done!

Well my surgery is booked for March 28th but I am trying so hard to get a sooner date like March 9th because that is when I have Spring break from school. If anyone is willing to switch PLEASE LET ME KNOW! As for now I have been taking my iron and vitamin C like Ruben told me, and I can't wait for my surgery because I' am getting fat and HATE it!

I' am very excited about my surgery I even have a countdown but at the same time I' am nervous! I' am nervous because I read about some people having poor results and I hope that it was because they chose a bad doctor. I have faith in Dr. Salama from all of the reviews and pictures I saw, I'm just scared ..I don't want to have bad results :(

Call me crazy but I' am thinking about getting implants too ahhhh!! What does everyone think?

Updated on 13 Feb 2012:
So I have gained a few pounds! But I still dont know how many ccs I want...any suggestions? I want a big butt, but not a fake looking one..

Only twelve days until surgery, I' am really excited!! I def. think I have gained enough weight to have a big ol' butt. I was happy that I read in one girls review that her butt was too big so Dr. S gave her a smaller compression garment which helped shrink it, because that is my fear is my butt being TOO BIG! I'm thinking about asking for 900 CC's, I need some opinions on that!

I fly in to Aventura early tommorow morning! I feel sad..WIERD. Ill post pics as soon as I can!!

Updated on 28 Mar 2012:
So I arrived...Larry is great..everyone at Dr. Salamas office was sooo nice! In my consult he said he take 3000 cc of fat off me...damn I got fat! I asked him for a 1000 but Im gonna tell him tommorow to just ..do what he do! He also told me that when we hear of some girls getting like 1300 or 1200 cc its because they have long butts, an I have an average length butt so I wont need as many CCS. Well wish me luck! Ill probaby update tommorow night or Friday morning!!

Hey ladies im laying in bed on my stomach im sore as if I worked out a bunch otherwise pain is tolerable. When I woke up from surgery I couldnt breathe! But everyone was so great. An all i gotta say is expect A LOT of blood! Im not gonna post pics til I get my new garment on tonmorow!

Updated on 30 Mar 2012:
I went to the office today and had my nasty pee-stained blood-stained garment removed ..thank god! The last time I took a perk was at 8:30 am and I felt so nauseous from not eating with it. The nausea is worse then the pain seriously! It is now 1:40 and I have not needed to take another perk, and I'd rather not deal with the nausea so I'm not gonna take it. Overall though, the pain is so tolerable I was so scared about it but you know its definetly worth it. I' ve been moving around so much I' m actually standing in the lobby surfing the internet and the receptionist said she has never seen one of the girls out an about like me lol (seeing as how I just had the surgery last night). I know everyone wants to see pics I just have to edit it before I upload it because you can see my face and I don't want that lol.

So wow did I lie about the pain...I was in so much pain yesturday and earlier today I just wanted to die. I ve been having to take two perks now instead of just one ..but im still up an walking because you have to. Laying in bed so much just makes u really stiff and thats where the pain comes from. I think i was so sick because i wasnt eating enough so ive been forcing myself to eat. A def. Must have is a female urinal you will pee all over your garment everytime without it!

Im feeling so good and todays day three. I have been walking to the stores and showerjng. I ve been told im doing much better then some others. I prayed a lot so i know god is helping me. Im not really in pain anymore, i cant bend over though but thsts normal. Ill put more pics up tonight i wish i had more projection in my butt so im absolutly not sitting on it. I have seen the other girls sitting an thats so bad!! Dont sit peopeople!! Why pay all the money an go through all the pain to loose volume by sitting...no thanks!

So you really wont have any idea how this procedure really is til youvactually get it..even with reading every review. I cant asking myself..what the hell did i do to my body..sometimes i think it doesnt matter how you look but how you feel and ill think i shouldnt have gotten this done. But i keep telling myself in the end ill forget the pain and it will have been worth it. I am no longer taking the perks because i found my body getting addicted to them, after they wore off id feel hungover. So i just went an bought tylenol because i have been getting a headache every day. I pretty much feel lousy everyday im tired of sleeping on just my stomach, an i cant wait to go home. Im not sure how i will be able to deal with my responsibilities when i get home but again i hope that ill be better then. Maybe i should be more positive today is day 5.

So I had my final massage in Miami today, switched to a smaller garmet, and Im ready to go home. Im leaving at 6 am today, im ready to go home but not ready for my responsibilities. I have to find a massage therapist when I get there, and its gonna be one of the first things I do because you could have complications if you dont continue with them. Anyways STILL dont know how many ccs I got because Dr. Salama is still sick.

Today has been a week and two days for me. I am home now and Im happy Im here but its back to reality. I still am uncomfortable like 24/7, and I get tired very easily (like winded). Overall I m happy with my results but this recovery is definitely a process. For instance, my vaginal area is very swollen and bruised and hard I m not sure if it is from scar tissue or what, but I made a doctors appointment for Tuesday and Im hoping I can get a referral for the lymphatic massages so that I dont have to pay out of pocket. It is a must that you continue your massages after your procedure because my stomach is still swollen and it has some hard areas which is from scar tissue I believe so I probably need an ultrasound massage to break it up. I keep telling myself I can't wait for all this to just be over with! Wearing this garment like 24/7 too is a nuisance, I have to pee in a urinal and if I have to go number 2 I have to take the garment off, and to put it back on is so hard! As well I took new pictures and I feel like I have some dimples in my butt, which are new I never noticed them before. I had asked Dr. Salama if this procedure gives you cellulite and he said that the loss of fat may give the appearance of cellulite. I think I have been doing a good job not sitting, and if I do its only because I have to (if im driving or need to go to the bathroom). Well let me know what you guys think..

Two weeks now and I really have no pain...I really have that hourglass figure...but wish the butt was bigger lol...I ll put some pics up when my stomach goes down because its still pretty swollen.

Updated on 17 Apr 2012:
So I will be 3 weeks on Thursday! I'm most excited about being closer to 4 weeks so that I can sit down! So FINALLY the swelling has come down in my stomach. Although I know that and my vagina are still a little swollen and def. hard. My waist is so tiny my hourglass figure is crazy! The other day this girl came into my work and was like "damnn your looking like Nicki Minaj, and your butt what did you do to your butt!" This girl thought I had butt pads on lol! So I' am much happier now than I was..I mean I still wish my butt was bigger, everyone keeps telling me my butt is perfect and big. I think I only wish it was bigger because I did pay all that money and go through all that pain so I wish I got a little more out of it. But anyways I ordered a new garment size small, this will be my last garment and I will be wearing it for 3 more weeks then I will be done! I' am hoping my waist will shrink more and then that will give the appearance of my butt being bigger. Today at school I heard some guys making comments when they walked by me so I'm sure my butt is really big, but I think you get used to it after a while. Also did I mention I was a size 5 before this and now I can barely get into an 11!! The problem is once the jeans fit over my butt they are big on my waist! The most luck I had was with Guess jeans.

SOOO I feel not really happy. I want to have this surgery again because I don't think my butt is big enough. I feel like Dr. Salama didn't do his best work on me. A big reason why I wanted this surgery was because my back had fat I couldent get rid of..and yet its still there. I specifically asked for all that fat to be removed. I really just don't even know anymore I cant believe I paid all that money and wasted all the energy and Im still not happy with myself!

I will be six weeks this thursday. and i have to say i have a really nice body and i am proud of it. i dont feel self conscious any more that my butt is small, although i do want it bigger. im going to start looking into doing a round two for next winter. i pray i am not being too vain..but for me it is not that expensive and the pain is bearable so why not. the only thing is i absolutely do not want my stomach lipoed again because the stomach takes forever to get soft and what not. therefore i would have my arms and legs and back lipoed. but if the doc says there isnt enough fat there will be no round two for me! anyways i ve been working out at the gym everyday! im scared to get fat so i also have been eating as healthy as possible!

Updated on 15 May 2012:
So I will try and take some new pictures soon and get them posted, I just don't have anyone to take them for me today. I just wanted to say to everyone that says I' m crazy for wanting a round two, that I want to have this done again because I feel angry that Dr. Salama did not get all the fat out that I wanted him too. As my stomach is softening up I can see and GRAB the fat on my stomach and back. When I take pictures I will grab this fat that I' am talking about so that everyone can see. Now i didn't have a lot of fat when i had the surgery so there is no reason why he couldent suction it all out! When i wear bras you can see fat above and below my bra which is what i always hated, and YET its still there! I'm going to send pictures soon to a new doc. to get an opinion on a round two. I would really like to go to Dr. Markmann but he is too expensive! I' am thinking Dr. Perry because people say he is good with skinny people, and I have a lot less fat on me these days so I'm thinking about going to him. But as I was telling my friend ERDREAM, if it weren't for all this extra fat on me that SOMEONE forgot to liposuction, I wouldn't be going for round two. Idk ..let me know what you all think!!
