Dr.Salama NEW-->12 WEEKS post op update...Extremely Excited !! August - BBL on 8/23/12 with Dr. Salama - Aventura, FL
Hello, I've been interested in a BBL and...
Hello,
I've been interested in a BBL and researching for a board certified plastic surgeon for the past 2 years. Been to 3 consults, however, the surgeons' portfolios did not impress me UNTIL I saw Dr. Salama's work. I absolutely love the way he is able to shape a woman's body into such a sexy, feminine silhouette with just the right amount of curves in the buttock...which is why I choose him.
I'm 2.5 weeks away and pretty excited. I've found it extremely helpful reading all the other posts from previous patients. I figured I will share my story as well so future patients can get an idea from my experience.
