Before and after pics you've been asking for

WORTH IT$9,000
I just posted this to my other review, by accident, so here it goes again... Here are some before and after pics you guys have been asking for. It was a good trip down memory lane. I can see where I have shrunk over the last two years and that before pic is a fond memory. I love my curves as they are more natural looking. Remember, Dr. Salama will give you what you ask for. I wanted a more natural look, but if you want to get it popping....then ask for that. It's all good and what matters is you're satisfied. At any rate, enjoy...

I am so excited for you! I am sure you will love your results. I want to warn you, you may be on an emotional roller coaster while you heal. Some days you may not like your results and feel like, "Why did I do this to my body?" This is normal and it will pass. Keep your head up, follow your post op instructions and you will be great. Good luck!

Thanks! It helps to know your feelings are part of the process :-). I am a little scared but it makes it easier with reading stories like yours to 'keep it moving'.

You look amazing!!! Dr. Salma did a wonderful job, I have been loving his work but I'm not sure if I want to travel from St. Louis. I worry about coming home and having issues or drains.
September 9, 2015
I'm traveling to him from Kansas City. I understand your worry but I honestly think you'll be OK too. The 1 thing I'm dreading is the flight home but I've checked & some flights have seats you can lay down like a bed? I'm still wondering if it's worth the extra cost though.

I would just stay at least 10 days and use a yoga mat rolled up! Who care if people look at u funny, it's an airport and you will never see most again. Don't go alone, it'll be worth it doll. Good luck to you. I'm deciding doctors right now.

The vast majority of Dr. Salama's patient travel out-of-town for their procedures. In fact, a lot of his patients travel from abroad. When I had my BA, their was a girl in the recovery house from Africa; she had a BBL. The biggest tip I can give is try to get a direct flight, and get an aisle seat. Most people stand up on their flight back. I had a lot of turbulence on my flight, so I had to sit. It wasn't a big deal. I sat on my thighs the entire time. Nomi will show you how to do this in the office. As far as the drains go, they are very easy to remove. Again, Nomi will show you how to remove them if it comes to that point. Try not to worry. I know it can be overwhelming at times but I am sure you will be fine and most of all...LOVE you results. I am excited for you! Good luck again.

Beautiful work! I am in between two doctors, Mendieta and Salama. I have a question about Salama using local anesthesia and I know Mendieta does it general. Did u do your local or general?
User Avatar
September 9, 2015
Salama does not use local anesthesia for anything. He has an anesthesiologist to sedate/intubate his patients for surgery. Thank you and good luck

PS I would never consider having a bbl with local anesthesia. It is very painful. Dr Salama does very aggressive lipo. I simply could not even imagine what that would feel like. Sheesh. Lol.

Thanks, I know right yikes! I can't believe a girl what it local her review was horrifying!

I know laser lipo and smart lipo is done with local; that is the norm. But traditional lipo should never be done with local. That is horrifying!!!!! Be safe and whatever you decide or questions you have I am here for you! Good luck with your journey.

Who Cares What They Say?

It irritates me when my family member, or random people, say I look they way I do solely from plastic surgery. I beg to differ. I work so hard in the gym: I train like an athlete.

Here's my Tae-Bo kickboxing workout from today:

10 minute warm up
120 front kicks
60 jabs to the right
60 jabs to the left
60 alternating jabs
120 jabs with 60 front kicks with the right leg
120 jabs with 60 front kicks with the left leg
120 jabs with 60 squats and 60 front kicks with the right leg
1 minute break
120 jabs with 60 squats and 60 front kicks with the left leg
1 minute break
60 triceps/biceps twists
60 tricep/biceps arm lifts/twist
120 inside thigh/heel kicks combined with 120 front kicks
30 second break
120 jabs with 120 uppercuts and 60 side kicks on the right leg
30 second break
120 jabs with 120 uppercuts and 60 side kicks on the left leg
That's just the cardio....an additional 30 mins was spent on strength training and 5 mins on the cool down.

Question of the day: they mad or nah? (I wish we had emojis)

Have a nice holiday weekend and be safe. I know those booties are going to be out in full effect; don't hurt them too bad ladies:) Please post plenty of pics! We love pics on RS!

You look hotttt! You are def right working out plays a major role in how ur body turns out. Have a great long weekend doll

Stuff like that sounds like it's coming from a hater...family or not. Even it was true & that allegedly is the reason why you look the way you do...you know what? THEN YOU GOT YOUR MONIES WORTH! What do THEIR bodies look like? Its sad instead of giving props & saying dang girl you look nice, people choose to try to degrade people. That's probably why a lot of people in the limelight who do have work done lie about it say they haven't even it's obvious they have. Months ago, I saw a rather juvenile debate between two coworkers over this same topic. Coworker #1 girl got her butt done & coworker #2 said her butt was "fake" & she only looked good because of a doctor. Coworker #1 tried to explain/convince her that her butt was not fake because it was her own fat transferred and no foreign materials. My thing is NOBODY HAS TO EXPLAIN A THING TO NOBODY ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO MAKE THEMSELVES FEEL/LOOK BETTER yet she kept trying to convince this "nobody" that she wasn't fake. Like the title to this post says, WHO CARES? well apparently she did but what I found funny was that coworker #2 kept saying people who get plastic surgery don't love themselves & that a man don't want no chick with fake body parts because nobody likes plastic. This dummy must think they literally inject you with plastic but when she said all this it puzzled me since she wears a pound of make up, fake dumb looking bright green eye contacts & wears this busted super long weave to her butt... so I simply inquired... then that must mean you don't live yourself then too right because she goes from looking like a dusty Bratz doll to the crypt keeper when you take away the weave, makeup & all the other temporary things she wears to alter her appearance. My point I think I'm trying to make is not only who cares what the next chick thinks but also, be careful who you call yourself calling out because the tables can always be turned. Personally, I think hating is a form of a compliment. If you didn't have it going on then heffas wouldn't have anything to say while secretly wishing you'd cough up the info on who your doctor is.

It's sad that complete strangers offer more support than family and so-called friends. SMH. I'm so tired of hearing people say I only look the way I do from surgery a year ago. If I still ate the way I did and lead a sedentary lifestyle, I would be right back fat in all the wrong places. I work really hard. But whatever, a hater is always going to find something to talk about. They mad or nah? LOL

Hun what do you use on your scars they look amazing ! You and I are the same skin complexion I'm hoping my scars heal as great as yours !
User Avatar

I only use 3M Micropore tape---that's it! I change it every 4 - 7 days. I blow dry the tape after showers to keep it dry and intact. The tape allows your scars to breathe while adding support. The biggest thing is you want to decrease the tension on the scar. I also wear a very supportive sports bra. Danskin bras are good and inexpensive. They sell them at Walmart. I still wear my sports bra 24/7. It helps keep the girls perk. Good luck.

Hard Work

I promise hard work pays off. When you are in the midst of working hard for the things you want, sometimes you can't see the results. I promise it will be worth it; be patient, be diligent, and don't give up!

I've been working hard to stay fit and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Trust me when I write, "It's not easy!" Sure there are times I don't want to work out. Sure there are times when I eat all the wrong foods. When this happens, I get right back on my grind and pick up where I left off. You have to find a work out regimen that you like and stick with it. This will be different for different people. You also have to make adjustments in the way you eat. Facts: you cannot lose weight with a poor diet and exercise alone; you can however lose weight with diet alone. The best results come from a combination of the two. Also understand losing weight in a healthy manner takes time. It has taken me 3 years to lose 50 pounds and keep it off. Start by making small adjustments: no soda, no fast food, limit your sugar intake, etc.

Plastic surgery is an enhancement tool; and liposuction is used to target stubborn areas of fat. One round of lipo is not going to give you a new body. You have to put work in to get where you want to be. You also have to get rid of the bad habits that led to you wanting lipo/plastic surgery in the first place. If you don't make any changes, you will be right back where you started within a year.

Beyond the fact, if I was able to get the weight off and keep it off, you can too.

Don't give up!!!!!! Believe in yourself and you will be shocked what your body can do! Hard work does pay off; keep your head up; God is great, he will never forsake you!

Good luck with your surgeries and happy healing!

It's funny you write that cuz after a year, I don't see it anymore. I know it is there, but I don't see it. Now I see how girls get caught up in multiple rounds. I'm definitely NOT going for round 2, but every now in then I'm like hummmmm? I see why KMichelle is looking crazy; no self control. Plastic surgery is so addictive and you have to know when to stop and what look to ask for. If not....you'll be looking crazy!

Thanks for the compliment. Trust me I know how hard it is to eat healthy after I just ate 1/2 of an ice cream sandwich. Whatever, I will be in kickboxing class tonight. Keep up the work; you can do it!
