Dr. Salamas staff was wonderful. Literally got there and in less than half an hour I was knocked out. Monica the nurse really helped me relax after surgery, Ruben and Nancy were very attentive. I cant see my results but from the mirror I can really see his work. Im swollen but I can tell he really saw my vision and even though I'm in so much pain it's still worth it.

How are the burn marks?? I am dealing with the same thing. I have two burn marks!!
Hi my burn marks are still there im sad i wont be able to show my stomach but have finalky accepted it im scheduled to get a little lipo on some areas the doctor didnt lipo so well see what he does then
Hello i wanted to know (if the question isnt to personal) how does your bum feel. Is it hard, firm or soft & jiggly?
When i wasn't exercising it was somewhat firm and jiggly but since ive been exercising its really firm not hard but firm hope this helps
Yes it does help, it was the hardness i was worried about. Thank you.
Six days today and they are hard uhhhh!
Would your husband mind if you emailed pics. I'm concerned about the burns. How are you doing?

So i'm 5 weeks out. Extremely happy with my results and my stomach and lower back are finally getting soft. My last massage is this friday and so glad I had Celia she really helped me with the excess fluid retention and swelling. Shes a little stronger than eileen so ofcourse you'll feel pain with her but there worth it. My burn is healing good and in some areas it's not noticeable. My butt jiggles like theres no tommorow and I haven't lost any volume since the last time I mentioned it. If yall have any questions feel free to ask.

Thanks for updating. Some of us were concerned about you and your healing and your burn. I was wondering if your butt was firm it looks that way but I was surprised when you said it jiggles it doesn't look like it would jiggle but you cleared that up! Are you sitting yet?
I am sitting down now. I was scared at first but they assured me that it won't. My butt didn't get any celullite but when I jog or walk fast it jiggles which I think its a good thing lol
Your results are amazing. Dr.Salama did a really good job on you. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks ChrissyPriss im really glad I picked him.
Omg u look fn amazingA! Soooo envious! Great transformation!
you look great! congratulations! seems the pain was worth it in the end :)
You look amazing!!!!!
How is your burn healing and if you don't mind me asking, how exactly did that happen? I read on another forum that Dr. S said that you had thin skin and that is what caused it to burn??? I am extremely fair skinned and thinking of getting this procedure (I bruise VERY easily and my skin is really sensitive)..do you think this will make it more probable for a burn?
I think it might be probable I also bruise easily and my bruises lasted almost 3 weeks for them to completely leave.My skin is really sensitive as well and I honestly don't know what happened it could have been the garment being to tight and burning my skin or the cannula. You have to be positive in these types of situation i'd rather have this burn and the body I have now than the one I had before.
You are so right! Either way, I hope that it heals fast because your results are truly amazing and you look fabulous girl! I think I'm going to go with Dr. Salama
He's really good. As you can see in my before pics I had no waist at all and he gave me a really beautiful hour glass shape.

So today I'm exactly 3 weeks i've lost about 9lbs...

So today I'm exactly 3 weeks i've lost about 9lbs since my surgery. Everyday I getting smaller as far as my lipoed areas and my butt is getting rounder and i'm very satisfied with the size, Im praying it doesn't get smaller. The doctor did notice that 2 areas on my butt lost volume but even I didn't notice that and neither did my best friend until he pointed it out. My burn is healing very well and im waiting for it to heal completely so I can begin applying mederma to it. I'm having a total of 12 massages since the doctor mentioned my stomach is still very swollen. My current waist measures 29 but I was hoping for 27 but the doctor assured me it is going to go down alot so I'm happy. My back is really smooth except for some upper bra fat which can not be lipoed, So anyone claiming that he didn't lipo that it's because they can't lipo there. My arms haven't really gone down that much but my thighs have gone down 5 inches since the surgery and he only lipoed my inner thighs. I can honestly say I'm very happy with my outcome, he really gave me an hourglass figure I wanted and I'm getting alot of attention from the men. None of my coworkers think I did a BBL they just think that my new waist makes my butt look so big lol. I can't wait to sit, just one more week. I'm currently in a medium garment and it fits me loose i'm looking to see if I can get it tailored in or just switching to a smaller garment.Will continue posting pics for you guys but from my experience aside from the burn mark I am truly happy with Dr. Salama's work for now not sure later.

Ariana, you look fabulous! I'm glad to hear everything is going well, and your burn is healing up nicely! I will send prayers that you continue to heal perfectly! And thanks for keeping up to date on what's going on!
i have a ? and i apologize if you have already answered this ? you stated you received 900ccs was that the amount you requested or is that all your body would take
thanks
im 5'3 and i weigh 160 pounds i was thinking i should lose 10 pounds however, after seeing your pre and post pics you look great!!!
Lol I actually gained 10 lbs before my surgery, I was weighing about 169 the day of surgery. The thing is you tell yourself ima loose weight but just the though that your never going to eat like you did before made me go on a binge 2 weeks before my surgery. But 160 is perfect just do what ever feels right.
First off you look great. Now what do you mean he can't lipo bra fat? Is that what he said? Because I never heard of that!
There's an area by the arm pit which is by the boobies that every where i've gone they say they can't lipo that area because it being near the lymph nodes or some thing like that and that could very well be breast tissue and not fat tissue.
ok. I thgt you was talking about the actual rolls that are created on ur mid back when you put ur bra on. I hv that under arm pit thing too but I dnt care so much about that. So you say the arms haven't went down so much huh? I'm thinking I may just work those out myself
yea they weren't worth the money i paid for nor the pain that goes along with it.
may just get inner thighs then. I hv to pick one or the other on a budget!
Def get inner thighs the difference is much bigger compared to arms. How much would they charge u extra for arms?
I didn't mention it to Ruben yet but I heard everyone else say any extra lipo areas is a additional $400 If more than that my thighs will forever be joined, rubbing against each other but for $400 There will be a break up. Lol.
