Hard lump in both buttocks plus continued pain

I've continued to have pain and just a general feeling of being "uncomfortable" while sleeping or laying in bed. My hip area and buttocks are both bothersome...STILL! And previously I was feeling what I thought was a lump forming on one cheek-- I continued to have close friends and my doctor feel the area of concern and everyone was saying they weren't really feeling much. But I think that's because they weren't feeling "deep" enough.
Today I woke up and I can DEF feel that same lump and it's 100% there; without a doubt-- I'm planning on seeing my family practice doctor next week just to see what they can do about it. Also on the other cheek I can feel a lump but that one is much smaller. Luckily at the moment I can only FEEL these lumps and they aren't visible. I'm hoping for no more infections and/or complications.
But I obviously don't want hard lumps in my butt :'( Again-- I wish I never did this. Or if I did...I wouldn't of chosen Dr. Salama!! I still have yet to hear a single word from the staff at "Elite" plastic surgery or the doctor. No surprise there! Completely horrible & shameful!!!!!

Multiple infections from Dr. Salama

The abscess that formed over my left lymph node in my groin area, is still continuing to drain and is red. Thankfully the size of it has gone down exponentially since being cut open and drained. It however still is not flat and is slightly raised. My family practice doctor could feel under the skin that the area was very hard and told me to do daily massages on the area. It's still very hard & draining :-/ Still on antibiotics which I've been on for id say about two months now-- not including the ones I was on for surgery. I can not wait to feel completely healthy & normal again. The scars I'll now have and indentation in my hip will have to be fixed somehow. Along with an isolated area on one butt cheek that I never had prior that looks like varicose veins-- NOT stretch marks. The amount of money I've dished out for this surgery & now medical bills, doctor apts, at home nursing, and future procedures to correct Dr. Salama's work. UGH! I could just scream ladies!!!!! And no-- no one at "Elite" plastic surgery has contacted me. They really should look into changing the name of their facility. Because nothing is "Elite" about their establishment. Not their bedside manners, not their office, not their staff, and not their tiny little crappy operating room. You'll see for yourself the day of surgery.

YET ANOTHER INFECTION!!!! ????????

Yes...I am NOT joking you. Another infection ???? While being hospitalized for nearly a week for the infection I received to my left hip from Dr. Salama's BBL surgery, my left lymph node in my groined area was inflamed and HUGE! At the time doctors said it would go down and it was just fighting off infection. After being on IV antibiotics and oral antibiotics for a month and a half my lymph node in my groined area was STILL swollen, red, and extremely extremely painful! I'd say it was a bit smaller than the size of a ping-pong ball under my skin and bulging out. It obviously became worrisome because as my hip is slowly healing my lymph node was still just as inflamed as it was in the hospital. In the meantime I emailed Dr. Salama's office and yet again they were un-phases by any and ALL of the ordeals I've had to suffer under his hands. They told me it would go away. Believing none of this...I went to visit my family practice doctor to get it checked out and she said right away that it was an abscess and it looked CLEARLY infected by how red it was. I had to be stuck so many times I can't even tell you just to numb the area...each time I could feel the blade so they had to give me more injections of lidocaine. Soooo painful ???? finally I was numb and she was able to make an incision to drain the area. And WOW was there a LOT of puss draining! Immediately the swollen area went down considerably but now the skin underneath is hard and still bulging somewhat. I have gauze and bandages over it and it's still draining. Yuck! Boy....choosing Dr. Salama was clearly the wrong choice. All of this I've gone through & ZERO support from him or his staff. I'm so over being on antibiotics and having one thing after another pop up due to this surgery. I'm so fed up!

Myself, along with every other patient who paid lots of money to stay at the recovery house did not even see Dr. Salama personally even ONCE after our surgery. Horrible bedside manners! Not even a phone call.
