I was fine for a couple of months thinking I was swollen in pubic area.
It's what I'm call TNT (things not told). I'm get a tummy tuck and gain a pubic pouch!?
What do I do now? This is not attractive. For the most part I'm happy with my procedure not the new pouch in my private area.
Do I get it another one?
I'm thinking about a butt augmentation. Can I get one then?

Welcome to the community:)   Oh boy!!  Ask the doctor about a little lipo in that area.  Sometimes that does the trick..

I am attaching a link to some great Q&A's on Liposuction on the Pubic Area

That sucks. Ask the doctor to suck it out. Maybe for free since he created it.

Good questions for the expert doctors in Q&A. I'd take a picture of your swollen area to attach with your question and ask them if it's normal, you'll likely get more than one answer and they are all board certified to answer. You can also upload pictures to this story/review and other women who have been there done that also respond with what their actual 'normal' is.  Here's a link to the BBl (Brazilian Butt Lift) topic where you can either post in the forum or jump on a tread to ask another community member. Thanks for sharing your story and welcome to RealSelf! Keep us updated.

Hello! Its been, three years since the post ; once my body finally began to feel normal again. I had my thighs done; not a good look, for me. I have deformities from the procedure it is absolutely awful. My thighs have these flabby very noticeable dents. Not to mention that pubic pouch has gotten worst. I am still thinking about the butt augmentation and I am hoping that the fat can be used in my thighs to help with the HORRIBLE EMBARASSING appearance. I still don't have any major complaints about Dr. Salzman, I do believe he is one of the best in my area. However, I think he and I should have had further post conversations regarding my results. Life start happening and here it is two years since my last procedure an I just want to feel better and my decisions. I am open to any suggestions on reconstruction of my thigh, BBL, cost & recommended surgeons with Elite Credentials.

It has been over seven years and I am still not happy with the deformities in my thighs I am seeking help from a different plastic surgeon because this hasn't gotten any better; I can't wear shorts I feel embarrassed to even put them on, but I feel like something should have been done. . I'm still OK with my breast augmentations. Unfortunately I have gained about 30/40 pounds through grief due to the loss of my parents, so what I went to Dr. Salzman for , the change is recognizable. I I'd not reveal that for my initial surgery I went into the hospital with pneumonia in all our lungs. Once I got out hospital and went it check up he said "" you made me Change how I do things" . He was referring to giving me one of those breath meter o help keep your lungs open. I sill have no bad complaints about dr Saltzmn. BUT! I referred a friend. She had. Few procedures after her procedure she has never been the same. She looked great however she's, walked i with a cane for a year, Her procedure left a Ret. Navy veteran for ever changed. I feel horrible for being praise team for Dr. Salzmans and he team. After, my issue no one ever called back to check on me. If, I do get picked for botched, I'm going to have to tell my experience. I regret not going with my first instinct which would have been Dr Cuves or Calobrace. I never received the look I wanted but my breast was amazing.
