“Brazilliain Butt Lift Scheduled for Tomorrow - Orlando, FL”

Hi All, I am a 25 year old African American female and I am scheduled for my procedure tomorrow and I am so nervous!

I'm about 5'6 and I'm 220. I have always had a nice size rear but I am having the procedure because I want more roundness and projection in my booty.

Lol If anyone has had this operation and you have a similar body type please share you experience with me. I have a before pic that I will post today as well :-)

Hi all! Surgery is over!! This is day 2 and i'm very sore and bruised. Coming out of surgery I was very incoherent. Due to the anestegia. Very important for someone to be with you the first 24 to 48 hrs as you will need help. You won't have much of an appetite but I strongly suggest making yourself eat something so you won't feel too weak. I really don't need the pain meds but I do take them to sleep. I took my compression garment off just to peek at my body, and even though I'm swollen my stomach and waist are much flattter and my booty is bigger!! I will definately post b4 and after pics very soon. I'm already a little tired of laying on my stomach but 6 weeks to go. The countdown begins.

Hi All!! So this is day 5 and I'm feeling almost back to normal. I still have a drain in my back so hopefully when I go to my post op tomorrow they will take it out. Otherwise, I'm walking better and I stopped taking the pain meds cause I don't need them anymore. I'm still swollen and the one thing that's a little irritating is this compression garment. As the days went by it's loosened up a little so hopefully the swelling is going down. I finally have my appetite back. I can't eat a lot, but at least I can satify my hunger without feeling like I want to puke. Lol So I will put up another update tomorrow and maybe a pic to show my progress.

Hi All!! I went for my post op today and my doctor was able to put over 2300 cc's into my butt!! That breaks down to about 1200 cc's per cheek. I have about a week
and a half to go before I go back to wrk so eventually I'm going to have to practice sitting without really sitting lol. So far the results are definately showing with the lipo, big difference from my before pictures! So I will post pics soon as well.

Hi All, Sorry to keep you all waiting. I know I haven't updated you guys in a while but I'm back lol. So it's been almost a year since I had the BBL (4/2011) and I can say "YES" there is definately a difference in my shape. My butt is definatley bigger, rounder, and looks better than it did before surgery. Even though I'm content with my new butt, I find myself not being totally satisfied. I know I need a tummy tuck to see the best results; However, I think with the amount of fat I had pre-op, my butt should be bigger. Futhermore, I feel my doctor could have done more lipo around my waist and stomach. I'm considering doing this operation again but with a different doctor. I've already contacted Dr. M. Salama in Miami for a quote, only this time I will be doing a BBL and tummy tuck together. I went to my previous doctor for a quote, and he advised he would not do a TT and BBL together. Not to mention, I paid almost 10,000 alone for the BBL and his quote for a TT is 7,800. Don't get me wrong, when it comes to my health and safety money is not an option; However, I don't want to continuosly be overcharged if there is another doctor who is just as good but less expensive. If anyone has had these two operations performed together by Dr. Salama please share your experience with me as I am leaning toward using him for these procedures. Also, I like my butt, but I want to LOVE it. I've posted some pics so ladies please tell me what you think. Also anyone who has had a 2nd BBL please share your experience. Thanks
