5 weeks with photos

Hello ladies!!

I miss you all like crazy! I just wanted to give you a quick update! To be honest I think my booty changes daily in shape and projection but my volume has been pretty consistent! I'm measuring about 34-30-46 which has been the sesame since 3 weeks. I was wondering of anyone knows when the abdominal swelling finally stops. I'm gonna try increasing my fluid and reducing salt (hardly use anyway) and see if that'll reduce my swelling. I had sex for the first time this weekend and it was AMAZING!!! He couldn't keep his hands off of me....I was totally loving it!! Here are some additional photos!! Love you lots. I'm in an XS Cincher that I got from Salama's FYI

17 day post-op updates

Ladies...I'm so sorry I haven't updated you all in sooooo long!! I wanted to talk about a fee things starting with the massages. My first one was on the Monday after my surgery which was June 30. I'm very tolerant of pain....I would almost say I liked it but the massages...hahaha....wooooah. Let me just say the less fluid you have the less it'll hurt. Either way it's uncomfortable because the lipoed skin is sooooo tender and tingly, but you can literally hear the fluid sloshing out. Yes--I said sloshing. I had Celia for both of mine while I was there...she was very sweet and very patient. I had my back drain removed the day of my second massage.

The plane ride home was uncomfortable--only because my ass was almost too big to fit between the seats so I could kneel. Once the bruising starts to go away--the booty is über sensitive, like when I bumped into something it felt like 1,000,000 needles poking it. While I was in Miami I went shopping with my friend for something to wear to a dinner we decided to go to-I couldn't really for much between the garmet, the foams, and my swollen ass I had a sever case of Madea (from the Tyler Perry plays) booty lol. I looked like a total mamau. Lol anyway needless to say...close for or not I did kneel to protect my investment.

I traveled home with my front drain in which was a pain in the ass. It kept getting slightly caught in my garmet and pulling. It was a little painful but mostly irritating. I noticed that each time it snugged it would tear a little skin then heal, then year again....so now it's a really dark scar. The drain removal wasn't too bad, if I could add a tip I would say, while healing massage the skin that you know the drain is over so it does not heal too much into your skin. It was weird coming out but not painful. I can't quite describable the feeling, but it's definitely tolerable. I removed that drain on Monday morning before my first day of work...yes I said work. Had to return to work only 11 days post op--however I think it was good for me because I was up and walking around. The maximum I would've taken would be 2 weeks. Literally at 2 weeks I began to feel regular--well a new regular. The foams and garmet didn't irritate me. I was able to poop regularly and I knew how to carry my pillow discreetly. I rarely sit at work though, that makes it much easier and better for my recovery. I would say maybe a combined hour for the full day.

Another thing I'm struggling with is my back drain hole healing. It reopens each time I squat so I've really been struggling and I don't really want an ugly scar in the middle of my two cheeks!!!! Any good tips for that???

Massages: I joined massage envy. My massage therapist does a combination massage for my of lymphatic drainage and deep tissue. The drainage massage is to assist with the removal of any access fluid within the body and the deep tissue massage helps to break up the scar tissue in the body. I have lot of scar tissue on my back and many lumps and bumps throughout my abdomen. Fear not--all these get worked out through massages over time. I go twice a week and will do this for the duration of my 6 week recovery. At that point I will switch to once a week (depending on my lumps and bumps) and will change to one every other week for the course of my 12 month membership. My father has graciously volunteer to assist in the payment of my post operative massages.

Satisfaction: So far I am extremely satisfied with my results. My butt is nice and round, maybe even a little too big for my liking currently
But it's definitely nice. My waist is nice and small, but there is some asymmetry between my sides. My left side goes straight down into my hip without much of a curve-- my right side flows into it more like an hour glass. Either way--I look and feel 1,000 times better!!

Please ask any questions you have, I would love to answer anything for anyone.

I first found out about Dr. Salama via Google, when I realized that the results of the doctors in places like Miami, Atlanta, DR, etc. were much better than the physicians I've consulted with in Cleveland. I think it has a lot to do with the frequency of the procedure and Miami has a market for boooootay!! I'm not only looking for shape but the "hour glass" figure that must be sculpted. Dr. Salama has excellent reviews and working with his office has been a pleasure thus far! After the booty: I still would pick the exact same physician to do my surgery. I have a lot of stretch marks from my pregnancy and Dr. Salama was still able to lipo in a way that left my skin tight and flat. He's awesome! Very serious about his work and very busy, but his staff is comforting for the aftercare and follow-up during the times he may not be available. Great experience in love with my results!
