Mid 20s, No Kids, BBL with Salama 2016 - Miami, FL

Well here we go...I've never ever done anything like this (both starting a blog on something and getting a cosmetic procedure that is). This is huge for me and very out of character. I'm really excited, and hoping to get some support from these website from others who have had this done also! Any tips and advice is very welcomed.
A bit about me: I'm 27 years old, 5'4" and 140lbs. I've always been "the girl with the pretty face". And I've always wanted to be the girl with the "pretty face and amazing body". I'm not striving for perfection or an outrageously huge butt that doesn't fit me. I naturally am curvy and have an hourglass shape *35-27-38*. I have worked pretty hard to drop a few to get to these current measurements. However I still have several stubborn areas such as my love handles, lower belly, back fat, and arms. I have very thick thighs also that of course I'd like to be leaner, but I'm ok with them, and think that maybe they will fit me better once my butt has been amped up a bit. I'm not looking for a giant butt with a huge shelf, that's not me. I'm looking for a nicely shaped upside down heart shaped butt, with some nice projection and volume that looks great in jeans and dresses, and of course bikinis. Like I said I've never had anything like this done. Is be lying if I said I wasn't scared. I'm worried about not liking my results. I'm worried about complications like lumps and burns from lipo, I've read some pretty scary stories on here. I really hope that Dr salama can give me the result I'm looking for and that I'll be complication free.

So I'm feeling kind of bummed (no pun intended). My mom and my husband are the only people that know that I want to do this, and my mom only partially knows. She thinks I'm just having lipo. I just can't bring myself to tell her I'm having the fat put into my butt to make it bigger, she just wouldn't understand and would think I'm even crazier than she already does. Both my mom and my husband think I'm nuts. They think the problem is in my head and not my body. They want me to see a therapist because they think I have body dysmorphia!!! I don't. Yes I've always been reluctant to wear a bikini and yes I've never really fully loved my body, but I don't hate everything about it. I love my face and my hair, and I love my proportions (small waist wide hips), and I've taken measures in terms of diet and exercise to make myself healthier and in better shape. I just have some problem areas and I'd love a nicer bigger rounder butt that looks great in everything. Is that so horrible? I'm not trying to change everything about myself, I'm not trying to become a different person. I'm just trying to look and feel the best that I can and give myself the confidence to rock any outfit I want. I also want to look better naked for my husband. He's definitely an ass man and he's obsessed with what I have, but I also know that he will love the result of having it enhanced! I think a small part of him is excited, after looking at other peoples results, but mostly he just thinks I shouldn't do this because he's worried about risks and complications...what if I react to the anesthetic...what if I get burns...what if I end up lumpy, what if I get an infection, what if my final result looks totally fake or is shaped weird and looks bad. He thinks I'm taking a risk in messing up what he feels is already a good thing. I don't know. I've never been confident with my body, I just want to do this for me so that I can put on a dress or a bathing suit and walk out the door and not run away every time someone brings out a camera...I just want to look and feel the best that I can!!

I do think some people take plastic surgery too far and get carried away. But I don't judge people, it's their body so they can do what they want. I just wish my husband and mom would see I'm not going to get carried away, I have never had anything done and I don't want anything else, I just think this is the perfect procedure for me and would really help my overall appearance, thus helping me with my overall happiness in life because I'll be more confident and won't stress about my body as much as I do. I spend so much energy worrying how I look and changing outfits when going out and not wanting to be in front of the camera and not wanting people to see me in a bikini...I just imagine all that energy being put to some other use, some good use!

Hey everyone,

For those of you that are like me and travelling from another country for your procedure, what are doing for insurance? I
realize for an elective procedure the procedure itself isn't covered, but what about in the event of a serious complication that required hospitalization while in Miami? My travel health insurance through work will not cover any hospitalization needed as a result of a cosmetic surgery, and I can't find any private insurance companies that will either. I found something called cosmetassure but Dr salama's office no longer offers it. Basically if something happens during the surgery or the days after and you need blood or whatever...you're screwed! You have to pay for hospital care on your own. Everyone keeps saying the chances of that happening are so rare, and yes I'm young and healthy so there is no reason to think something wil happen....but if it does we could end up having to sell our house to pay for my medical bills. What do people do? Am I just being nuts? Is this not an issue for anyone else? Does anyone on here know of any insurance that can be purchased that covers complications during surgery or else those 10 days post op that we have to stay in Miami?

If it was just myself that would take the financial hit in the rare event that something like this would happen, I wouldn't be as freaked out about it. But it'd be my husband and family that would pay the price as well, for a surgery I chose to have. Anyone have any insight or advice on this? Anyone know of any insurance you can buy that covers this kind of thing??
