I'm on Day 3 post op and recovering slowly. Dr Salama was wonderful. I received 1000ccs in each cheek. He took fat from my abs, flanks, bra roll , legs &arm (I didn't have enough fat I other areas so he has to go to my arms and legs). The legs and arms are the most painful. I go for my 1st massage tomorrow and I'm dreading it. I've read so many of Dr. Salama's patient reviews and thanks to everyone! They have been so helpful!!

Thanks for starting a review and for adding some pics!  Rest up, and keep us posted on how that massage goes.

Congratulations sis, but please that's a lot of money to cough up for BBL. or did you have other things done? Just wondering
July 27, 2016
The BBL was approx $7300 plus i paid an additional $500 for the cell saver. It also include some for miscellaneous items for the surgery. Total cost is probably near $10k or so. All of the supplies, flight, condo for a week, food, etc...
July 27, 2016
Wow! But you look great and the most important thing is that you like your results.
All the best with your recovery process. Cheers!

Thank you m!!

You look great. Did he do you round 1 and why did u go back? But that waist and but look snatched
July 28, 2016
He didn't do my round 1. I needed a little revision from my round 1. It was with dr Jiminez at top body sculpting (see my older posts). I wanted a few dents filled in and he buttom of my butt filled in. Dr Salama did a phenomenal job on me!!

Post Op day 6

Persistence102
Day 6... I'm doing a lot better. I'm still very sore. I went for my 2nd massage today and it was just as challenging as the 1st for me. I do have a low pain tolerance and never had children. I felt better afterwards. I can't stress enough, drink plenty of water, Gatorade, pineapple. Use the arnica gel, the bromelain pills, the staphsagria pills, ensure protein shakes, green shakes, and walk and stretch. I was able to Goto the mall on post op day 3 and walk around for a while. I also went out and ate at restaraunts; standing at the bar. Didn't care about the looks, I don't know anyone here. Good luck to everyone! Dr. Salama is the MAN!!

You look great hun being salamafied is life changing keep up with the aftercare and you will luv your final results
August 19, 2016
Thank you!!! You look fabulous yourself!!
July 29, 2016
You look awesome..I am scheduled for a revision in a couple months, how is the recovery so far compared to the first one?
July 29, 2016
Thank you. This one is worse because Dr Salama went aggressive with my Lipo and he lipo'd my arms and Legs in addition to my torso and back. The first one was done under local so the Lipo wasn't as aggressive. This one is kicking my butt, but it gets better day by day. If you follow his after care plan you'll be fine.
Also, I reviewed a lumphanic drainage massage 2 weeks prior and also took a hot bath with 1 cup of baking soda and 1 cup of kosher salt each night up to 2 nights before my surgery. My massage therapist recommended this to get my body ready and for it to release toxins prior to surgery. I also did the massages myself each day prior to surgery.

August 19, 2016
Thank you!! I'm going to post some
Updated pics soon. I'm 4 weeks out today. So things have settled a bit. Good luck and you'll be fine. Can't wait to see your pictures. If you haven't purchased a gravity chair to use yet, I have an extra i can sell to you if you're interested. They're a life saver.

Butt in or Out Compression Garment

Persistence102
I'm 13 days Post Op and making good progress. I was told by the staff that I can change into my butt in garment on day 14. I tried it on tonight after I took a shower and was washing my butt out and the butt in seems extremely tight in my buttock. My lipo'd areas feel really good, but I'm concerned about the pressure on my buttocks. Will anyone share their experiences with the compression garment? I'm going to call Dr Salama's office tomorrow to speak with Naomi. The pictures are post op day 7. I will post recent ones over the weekend.

Omg u look sooooo great. Just makes me more and more ready for my round 2 with Salama. Was ur waist already that small after round 1?
August 5, 2016
Thank you so much! Yes, my waist was small but Dr Salama made it smaller.
August 5, 2016
Do you mind which garment have you used and prefer? The butt in or butt out after 2 weeks
May 1, 2021
You look totally amazing
August 5, 2016
You look great hun I think I saw you while I was there too I was with my husband at the office when you came for your massage. He hooked you up
August 5, 2016
Thank you! Which garments do you prefer? The butt in or out? I have both and was told I can change to butt in at 2 weeks, but it's super tight on my butt.
August 5, 2016
You look great. I would do butt out that's what I have and what they give you right after surgery I believe for a reason But you should ask dr
August 6, 2016
Thank you and thanks for the feedback!! I will wear the butt out as long as i can. It's going to be a bit uncomfortable once o go back to work:
August 6, 2016
I had butt in when I got mines done but that was in 2012 I don't know which one best now
August 6, 2016
okay.. Thank you. He's providing butt out when patients leave his office. I purchased a butt in and was told by the nurse I could wear it after 2 weeks, but that Dr Salamas prefer butt in. The butt in is def. more comfortable and provides compression/support, but it's very tight on m butt.
August 6, 2016
Ughh I don't know. Is the butt part stretchy? I think my butt in cause me to get dents in my butt that I'm going for a round 2 to fix. A least I think that's what cause it don't know for sure
August 6, 2016
Also how much you weight and height? And do you have before pictures
August 6, 2016
Okay. Thanks for your feedback. I weighed 114 pounds before surgery. My height is almost 5 even. Ill have to try and find my before pics if I haven't deleted them.
August 6, 2016
hey love your results look amazing. I am schedule to do my bbl surgery in September. I am really nervous, and not sure what to expect. How many weeks off of work do you recommend to take for recovery?
October 10, 2016
I took 2.5 weeks off and worked from home for 2 weeks
