BBL with Dr. Salama

UPDATED FROM Bori72
3 months post

13 weeks and not happy

$8,799
3 months of sleeping on my belly. 2 months of NO sitting except on a foam roller. 18 lymph massages, 2 months of wearing Faja's and I always still wear a full compression garment everyday and a waist cincher but my body is not where it should be. My butt has gone down too much plus I have a huge flat section in one cheek.

How are you feeling now?
Physically I'm fine. Almost back to normal.
I am so nervous or should I say anxious. How many cc's did you get? have you reached out to Dr. Salama
I already paid for my procedure and news like this makes me nervous.
Don't be nervous, I'm sure you will be fine. Everyone's body reacts differently, I pray you get exactly what you want. As for me I was told I got 1200cc on each , at first I was like OMG- huge!! The way i looked on week 4/5 was perfect, it's gone down another 2 inches since then and I'm hope'n it won't go down anymore. About the flat areas- I reached out to Nomi at 4 weeks and she told me it's probably the skin not giving and for me to gently massage the area daily, which I have but it's still the same. Looks like no fat was placed in that area because it was like that since surgery. I will be emailing her this weekend.
I pray that everything will work out for you.
Are you still not happy? All the good reviews of Salama are from years ago so I wonder if he lost his touch....
Hello! I'm going to Salama after experiencing fat necrosis and flat areas on my cheeks as well from dr salzhauer. Can you post pics?
Do you have any before and after pictures? Sorry this is happening to you! Hoping things get better
Can you add photos can't see what you're talking about...every one favs but you did then didnt

Started my research in 7/2016 and I have read...

Started my research in 7/2016 and I have read hundreds of reviews- HUNDREDS! I went to 3 different PS for consultations in South Florida and I chose Dr. Salama. Why? 1- he was more informative than the other 2, he answered all of my questions honestly plus offered extra info. And 2- all of the reviews and photos I found here on RS.
My BBL was done 1/26/17 and as of today I am very pleased.
Dr S sculpted me very nicely and now I have a booty :)
I will post pics at approx. 1 month PO

Btw- I stayed at the Elite RH and it was great. House is very clean, beds are comfy and the staff Ilene, Janine and Katy are all Amazing! Mind you I only live an hour (driving) away but still chose to stay here and I'm glad I did.
Oh, lets not forget Justine their driver, he is so helpful, informative and super nice.
Dr Salama has a great team!!!!

Thank you for your kind words. I will share your comments with the staff. I'm glad you're pleased with your results and that your stay at Elite Retreat Miami was great. Please keep us posted on your progress and happy healing :)

Thanks for all the background info on how you chose your doctor, we'd love to hear more about your surgery and recovery and see before/after pics!

Glad to hear you are happy. Im having surgery with him next Thursday!
Good luck with your surgery. If you have any questions you think I may be able to answer, please don't hesitate to ask.
I’m trying to book him now I he chose dowbak and cancel I prefer a private practice I have back rolls is he good with back rolls
Your story sounds just like mine!! I've been researching for months now and I think I just made my mind up with Dr. Salama as well!! I'm in the process now of sending photos and getting date set to have mine done! I'm so scared!! I plan on using Elite Retreat as well when I get mine done! I will be traveling from Savannah, Ga. did you pay for the extra Blood cell treatment? They say it helps with recovery time! Also, did you do any lipo in your arms? Just wanted to know if you were happy with the turn out of all the lipo areas, especially arm area if done... I've heard arms aren't worth the pain.. but I'm most interested in having my arms read done.
