Laying on sides?

User Avatar

WORTH IT$10,299
I'll be 6 weeks post op tomorrow. When can I lay on my sides? My back is killing me and I toss and turn all night. Sometimes I wake up kinda on my side and I make sure I go right back on my stomach but this is VERY uncomfortable. I have to use a heating pad during day at work for my back :(

My butt cheek is still uneven. Some days I think it's not that bad then others I go crazy over it. I'm trying not to concentrate on it right now. I ordered a butt in garment but it was way too big even though I dozed down! I ended up returning and ordering a new size. I have to pick it up at post office today. You have to sign for the package they won't leave it at your house. I have been dying for this butt in to hopefully even out my cheeks.

One of my coworkers had a breast aug two weeks after my surgery and she barely saw her doctorate she can't communicate with him. It is through his coordinators so I greatly appreciate dr salama for that. I
Think so highly of him because of that. Sometimes I feel okay to ask one of his girls at the office (Jessenia is the absolute best) but at times I think Dr. salama is the best person to go to. I really haven't texted him but it makes me feel good I can go to him if I want. I plan on getting a breast lift done without implants with him. I messaged them about it but no one responded yet it's been 3-4 days

Or 10 something like that. I am over 3 months post op and have noticed my hips have gone down.
User Avatar
July 14, 2016
Omg that's so far away haha. I feel like mine went down too! But it still looks like I have hips just not as extreme as before. I'm dying to sleep on my sides I'm so uncomfortable sleeping on stomach now

Well technically according to my paperwork it says u can at 6 weeks. I feel mine went down but I measured and it's still 40" and my waist 27"

I agree with you and I think that is why you pay more when you go with Salama compared to other doctors at these clinics. You have more personalized care and communicate more with salama. I have a friend who did her BBL with my cosmetic surgery and the only time she saw the dr was on her surgery day, after that she's only seen the nurse for follow ups

Yes! He is so quick to respond too! I saw him 5 times during my recovery. That is why I want to get my breast lift with him. I think he is the best doctor for me especially knowing he is only a phone call/text away :)

You won't be disappointed. My breast still look awesome 3 years later even after having another baby. He is amazing in all he does

Did you get implants or just a lift? I want them done nowwww. Haha. No one has responded to me yet in his office :(

According to our post-op papers it is safe after 6 weeks. Did u get ur garment? How do u like it? You are so tough to already plan another procedure :)

Hey. So today is first day I'm wearing the butt in. I slept in it and it was tight!!! I think the butt in makes my butt look a LOT smaller but I'm going to ask my coworkers because a few are very honest haha. How are you?! I figure if I could get through a bbl a breast lift should be a walk in the park but who knows. Are you still wearing the butt out?
User Avatar
July 15, 2016
Haha yes compare to bbl everything else would be a walk in the park. I'm doing well, making some progress...I'm still in the butt out and actually just got the xs in butt out as well. I tried it on and was able to squeeze into it but I won't start wearing it until Sunday or Monday.

Right butt cheek is still quite larger than left

User Avatar
Kbbooty
I am getting a little sad about my right butt cheek being noticeably bigger than my left. From just a few days post op I noticed it. I figured it was just a swelling issue but I am now almost 5 weeks post op and its still a big difference. I knew that there would MAYBE some asymmetry but this is a little too much for me. I do not blame Dr. Salama at all because who the hell could actually know how my body would absorb fat, etc. I just wish this didn't happen because I cant imagine going through a revision. For the ladies who have gone through revisions is it the same recovery process? Obviously not as hard but if its only one cheek can he just add more fat into the smaller one? :( It is more noticeable in clothes than out. One of my coworkers pointed it out to me just a few minutes ago and my heart SANK!! I didn't think it was THAT noticeable.

revisions are not even half as hard as first procedure, and yes he can just fix the issue but your still really early in the process the booty does not start to settle for at least 3 months and then it takes up to another 9 months before it is finished. as for your coworker, typically people look for a problem when you tell them you have had sx, the average person is not looking for the problem so they do not notice it and in clothes its really hard to notice anything

I am trying to be patient. The difference was noticed within a week of surgery by doctor. It is what it is :) I am going to try to relax and not overanalyze my body so much. He pointed out my butt wasn't completely even prior to surgery and I never noticed it so maybe this will just be a thing I deal with..Who knows. I don't want to go through the whole process though again. It is a lot of work!! Do you have to avoid butt again for the entire time like the 1st surgery? This not sitting on my butt is getting really hard!
July 10, 2016
Try not to stress. Reach out to the Dr. I'm sure he's encountered this problem before. Get your questions answered. Give your mind peace. Positive thoughts!! Let's hope it's just healing!! I wish u the best! I really do bc this damn journey is tough!!
July 6, 2016
Maybe give a few more sitting on that side more and you probably are swollen and early on. You look great
User Avatar
July 6, 2016
Thank you! I am not putting any pressure on my butt. I am hoping it will settle. It is weird sometimes its not that noticeable in pictures. I mean I know its different. Who knows... We shall see. I still think Dr. Salama is a WONDERFUL doctor and I swear I would go to him over and over again. He is such a kind man and makes you feel so comfortable :)

Awe I'm sorry, don't get discouraged just yet. Give it more time. Did u start wearing butt in garment yet? Maybe that would also help...I think it's still too early hon.
User Avatar
July 6, 2016
I know, I am getting a little ahead of myself. I hope the butt in garment works. I know I am swollen at the top I think its from the butt out garment pushing on it so much. I should get the butt in garment today; they need a signature in order to leave it at my house. I cant wait to get it. I know it is going to be a pain to put on but it will be worth it. Are you wearing butt in garment yet? How do you feel? My butt is not noticeable in some pictures than others. It is weird!
User Avatar
July 6, 2016
Hopefully couple of days in the butt in garment will make a difference for u! I am still in the butt out and I think I'll just stick with the butt out, for some reason it doesn't bother me, probably cuz my butt is not that big. Just give it more time hon, stay positive :)

No I switched to the vedette boyshort garment the week I got home you only need a butt in or butt out garment if you had lipo to your thighs

Hey girl, just thought of you. How are you feeling and how is everything healing? Has anything changed since this post? Hope you're doing okay!
User Avatar
July 14, 2016
Hey! I am good, still sore but better than before for sure. My cheeks are still a little uneven but I'm hoping my butt in garment will reduce swelling and help. I wake up and the bigger side hurts from the butt out compression. How are you?!

Looks nice ,are happy with the surgery?? Did you think that all that pain is worth?i requested 15 days in augost ,it is enough days or i need more??
User Avatar
June 27, 2016
I am very happy. I am happy I chose Dr. Salama too. He is an absolute sweet heart and I was always really happy to see him! I don't think i really experienced any real PAIN during this. It was more discomfort, stiff and soreness. Nothing extreme though. 15 days is okay. I took two weeks of work off and when I went back it was really hard. Not sitting and trying to stay off your butt is not easy. I ended up working part time last week because I couldn't handle it. With my long commute and sitting i swell up really bad. I am going to try to work full time this week. I shall keep you posted. I would take off as much as you can. Every time I sat in car all I could think about was if I was ruining my butt :( I just don't want any flat parts and sitting on poppy in car is IMPOSSIBLE to not put pressure on butt. I would suggest investing in a BBL pillow or something.. I roll up a large bath sheet and sit on it at work. It keeps my butt off the chair but is not comfortable.

You look great honey! So happy u happy with ur results :) I have a question about ur garment - when u downsized, did u end up staying with butt-out or switched to butt-in?
User Avatar
June 28, 2016
I kept the butt out because I've heard everyone likes it more. I have had 3 butt outs so far. I am getting a butt in because it is pushing down on my back/butt and I don't like it. It makes it look shelf like in clothes. The thong is soooooo annoying. I cut the top part and immediately regretted it. I ended up sewing the parts back because it felt worse than before lol
User Avatar
June 28, 2016
Instill have the shelf look and I wore butt in the whole time
June 29, 2016
Check the vedette garments on my review sexier and way more comfortable

June 29, 2016
Is it very noticeable? I think mine only shows with the butt in garment. Without clothes it doesn't look like a shelf.
User Avatar
June 29, 2016
Is it the same sizing as the ones at salama office?
June 29, 2016
It's a thong looks like panties or lingerie

The vedette (I think) named Eva? It looks like one you have it has booty shorts is that okay to wear at 4 weeks? I want something as tight as possible I know I'll be in pain at first but I want to be nice and small lol

June 29, 2016
I started wearing mine at 3 weeks salama said I only needed the garment with the legs if I had thigh lipo
June 30, 2016
Let me know what garment u end up ordering? I want a butt in garment! I hate the thong!! I remember asking the dr if the butt in would ruin my butt he said no, he said those were the garments he liked to use but the ladies would freak out about their butt getting ruined so he decided to switch.
User Avatar
June 30, 2016
He said the butt in helps the swelling go down quicker so girls think it's killing the fat cells but it's just the swelling.

I ordered the 1600 - Bodyshaper Classic Half Leg from Lipoexpress.com. It comes with some firming gel, lol. Free shipping too! Supposedly it will get to me 3-5 days. I figured I knew my size with this one because its same people who make the butt out. I cant wait to get it! I know its going to be a pain putting it on myself though haha. I hope this makes my butt go down...it is still HUGE!!! lol
