BBL Dr. Salama May 24th, 2012!! - Aventura, FL

My results will never be perfect. My tummy isn't perfectly smooth from the lipo. The sides of my waist are not even when you compare them. My butt is so heavy my undercrease is flat. Sometimes I think about a lipo revisions for a smaller waist, but I look 100 times better and I am very happy with myself and my results almost 3 years later.

Hi guys!! Long time no write :) Signing in to do a quick update. So June 22, 2013 I was able to undergo a retouch with Dr. Salama. It has been two months now. Originally I just wanted to have additional lipo on my sides and back as the right side of my waist seemed more indented than the left side of my waist. I also had some fat on my lower back and flanks that I wanted to get removed. I gained about 10-12 lbs after my BBL in May 2012 so I feel that maybe this is why I noticed this additional fat. Apparently your body will try to put fat back where it wants to, so be careful to maintain your post op weight or you are wasting money. I will make sure I do not go past 150 lbs. I was informed by the lovely ladies at the office that retouch costs HAVE gone up, however since my initial BBL surgery was in 2012 before cost went up I was able to pay $800.00 which I could afford. After the surgery, I noticed my butt was sore and larger. The next day Dr. Salama admitted that he did not want to waste the fat he had lipo'd out, so he gave me 300 cc on each in each butt cheek. At first I wasn't exactly thrilled because some friends had stated that my butt was already not looking authentic. Now that the swelling has gone down I am very happy with the little umph that I have. I get compliments and dance partners every time I am having a night out on the town. The recovery was much faster than the initial BBL in May 2012, but the first 2 days were hell. The first 2 days were pretty similar to the BBL experience that I posted above. I went back to work on the third day. Yes, I did sit because I was not concerned about keeping the fat cells alive as I wasn't thrilled about the extra booty at that time. However, I would leave forward on my thighs for most of the day to decrease pressure on my newly shaped booty. See below for the photos I took just today while I was out shopping and remembered you guys :) I hope this is helpful. I apologize in advance for my absence and late responses due to my hectic schedule. All the best ladies!

Okay ladies so its been about 5 months now. I'm not as happy about my results as I was at 7 weeks. Something have healed a little funny in my opinion. The seromas that I had didn't heal until early September and mind you I had my surgery in May. You are supposed to drain the seroma weekly to have a faster resolutions and minimal complications. Unfortunately, the surgeon I found back home didn't think this was necessary and so it healed with some scar tissue. So my stomach was perfectly flat before and now you can see on the lower left and lower right belly some lumpy kind of appearance. Check out the close up pic of of my tummy. I do not think this is Salama's fault. Once again, it is how my body has healed and unfortunately the surgeon back home did not help the seroma process as he did not drain it as often as I requested. Also, I have noticed that since my butt has completely dropped it looks more square now from the back. I didn't notice this until I took close up pics of my butt today. My butt still has a little shelf and projection from the side, though. I am a little saddened by these two things but all in all I must say that I am still WAY happier with my body now then I was before the surgery. Oh, I do sit now but by habit I put more pressure on my thighs. My butt still feels a little sore at times. The kind of sore you feel when you go to the gym. I suppose this is normal. That's all I have to say for now ladies. I'll put up the pics now.
