First, I wanted something like a bbl since I could remember, being one of those girls who had height, breast, and everything else with a flat ass, I was always insecure. I never wore shirts in my pants, never wore the female jogging suits, when I tell u insecure, I mean it.



So I looked at many doctors and had to make sure that immediately I felt comfortable with the right one, and I found him. Well yesterday I got it done and let me tell you, not everyone's level of pain is the same cuz reading some of the reviews I said Im gonna be goooooood, well I definitely siked myself out.



I'm on day 2 n OUCH!! But I will keep u guys posted cuz I'm not even sure what it looks like under there. I am visiting my doc for my first post op tomorrow...

Today is about the fifth to sixth day after my bbl and I'm feeling much better. The lying on my stomach is still a bit annoying but overall I'm getting used to it.

The swelling is going down n the bruising is slowly but surely fading away.

I'm starting to see the results and hopefully I don't lose too much of the fat that was placed cuz the doctor contoured my body nicely, and I don't really have a stomach anymore but that wasn't the reason for my surgery. I would hate to have to touch up anything. I go back for another visit in 4 days n I will talk to him about it.

I visited my ps and it went well. I was told I had 600cc's put in. I'm healing nicely and I loooooooooove it. I can't stop looking at it except I haven't really gone anywhere cuz I don't have any clothing in my closet that fits, I love shopping for shoes but I think I might love to shop for bottoms now. I'm gonna post some before and after pics for yall

i visited the doctor on friday for my 2 month post op visit and she stated everything looks good but i expressed to her that i am not happy because the swelling has gone down on my butt but alooooot of the fat has been reabsorbed and the amount of money i paid, i am not happy with the results that i have now. I am not sure if more of the fat will be absorbed but i feel in 6 months, if i am given a discount i will be performing the procedure once more. I am not sure if anyone is/has been through the same feeling i am going through now but it is quite a disappointment and upsetting.

Updated on 22 Dec 2011:
It's been over 4 months post op and I have been reading updates from other ppl but the updates stop coming after about 2 months when everything goes back to "normal". Well I am inclined to post an update as I was looking in the mirror a minute ago.

I loved the look at first but it has gone down SIGNIFICANTLY!!!!!! I know there is a difference from pre op to now but I feel it was sort of a waste n false hope. My ps stated that some of the fat gets reabsorbed n because my skin is tight he couldn't put more, but now it looks round at the hips but flat. My butt is not a nice round shape.

I have been reading a lot about this procedure n realized I'm not the only one that this has happened to. I will try to get it redone soon, as most doctors say 6 months. But in the mean time put up with my dissatisfaction.

Confirmed my date for April 6 to Dr. Salama and just booked my flight and hotel. So now just have to start buying products and things for my "stay package" and since this is the second time around, i kinda have an idea of what my necessities are that i have to pack......so now begins the waiting and preparing game........

Updated on 2 Apr 2012:
as of today April @, 2012, i am getting ready to make my trip to Dr. Salama for my BBL. i just spoke to larry the driver and he sounds sooooooo cool!! i mean i felt like i could converse with him all day on the phone. I have set everything up and all that is left for me to do is pack my things and head down by the end of this week. i will be keeping in touch with you guys and adding a before picture of what i look like now and an after after (lol, because this is my second bbl) when im done.

Updated on 10 May 2012:
unfortunetly due to Dr. salama's accident in the beginning of April, my appt was rescheduled and i had to book it for August 2nd, which ironically is exactly one year from my first bbl procedure. i was very disappointed when i had to be rescheduled because everything was set, booked, and ready to go. All i could do now is play the waiting game until August......
Good luck to everyone having the surgery and until late July..Everyone have a great Summer be stay n look good doing it!!!!!!

Wow! What does the pain feel like? Can u not do anything? I'm looking to do the surgery soon.
boompownj 4 Aug 2011

I had mine's done on Monday, and today is the first day that i actually feel good..I've been able to walk around a lot and I am not as stiff..the first two days were bad.

numeee528 4 Aug 2011
It's moreso you can't use your abdomen to help u move cuz it hurts. Now Im sure you never really thought about How much you really use them til u can't use it at all. The pain on my behind wasn't really that bad, it feels like u did 1000 squats too many, lol. My advice to anyone is ask yourself do u realllllly want this, then make sure you have a wonderful n understanding support person cuz u will need them. There's no way u wud want to go thru this and the 2 days post surgery by yourself.
luvthatdoe 4 Aug 2011
How much and who was Ur doctor?
numeee528 5 Aug 2011
@boompownj....u go!!!!! 2days n you already out n about, it took me 30minutes to walk to the store 2 blocks away...lol...I'm short of breath but thinking I have the waist girdle on tooo tight..Lmao
@luvthatdoe..I'm gonna inbox u his name.
luvthatdoe 5 Aug 2011

ms.anonymous 5 Aug 2011

boompownj 6 Aug 2011
Lol..once u get pass the first 2 days.. The rest is a breeze.. The only thing it literally feels like your walking around with bricks in your pants...make sure you have a good support system for at least 5 days!!! Good Luck
boompownj 8 Aug 2011
@numer528... How many cc's did u get.. I got 580 in each cheek... I swelling has gone done drastically these pass 2 days. I hope my butt doesn't go down anymore..I was completely flat, so I can really notice the difference.. I have a cute little butt now, but I do wish I would of went a little bigger
excitedinnj 9 Mar 2012
Hey boompownj, I'm considering doing mine as well. I'm from NJ. Where did you go?? Do you have any pics?
numeee528 8 Aug 2011
I don't have a clue how many cc I recieved girrrrrrrl but that is definitely a question when I go back for a follow up this coming Thursday. I feel good now and the swelling on my body went down also, my thing is I have that perky booty but I wanted bigger n now If my butt goes down more I'm not gonna be too happy cuz the reason I wanted the surgery was for a nice round butt, not for something that "kinda sorta" loooks like it.
girl2 8 Aug 2011
Cant wait to see your pics! congrats, also i know what u mean about a flat ass...not cute! lol im enjoying my bum!
candigurl 9 Aug 2011
congrats on your work and quick recovery, what kind of compression garment are you using?It makes a big difference to make sure you have something that compresses the areas around you buttocks but give you buttocks room to expand. i wore the compression garment dr gave me for 2 weeks then went and obought a salome faja and it seems like my butt expanded even more. Also make sure you eat a lot of protein, things like fish, especially tuna, chicken white meat, pineapple(bromelain in pineapple aids in healing and with the kind of money you spent you need to know how many cc's and where he put them and what does he project you final results to look like? Hope all goes well with you!
blacdiamond 9 Aug 2011
Boompowj can u please inbox me his info as well
blacdiamond 9 Aug 2011
Numeee528, whuch doc did u go to???
numeee528 9 Aug 2011
@candigurl. Thank u for the info. Very much appreciated. I'm wearing the garment withthe holes in the butt its called Brazilian body shaper-above the knee. That is the one the doctor let me know to wear.
And the pineapple thing, I didn't know that but I have been eating it for the past couple of days. I'm usually a big healthy eater so I think I'm gonna go even harder since u make a lot of sense.
One of my girlfriends seen me n she was in shock, she said it looks amazing cuz it doesn't look soo unnatural and he injected the fat in my hips n upper portion of my buttocks, soo as she says i have an onion or teardrop booty. I jus don't want anymore swelling to go down on my butt for real I love it jus like this, n when I go back Thursday I'm gonna have a couple questions to make sure.
