ORIGINAL POST

Hello BBL sisters I have scheduled my BBL with Dr....

meeleeFebruary 18, 2012
WORTH IT$5,899

Hello BBL sisters I have scheduled my BBL with Dr. Salama and I'm very nervous because I'm the type of person that worries about everything. To give some background I have always had a not so feminine shape.I have always had a really top notch beautiful face but not the body to match. Right now I'm 178lbs 5' 4" 1/2. I have a 5 year old little girl so all you moms on here know where this is going basically my body is ruined! lol I plan on losing about 20 to 30lbs b4 surgery to achieve results I want.

I live in Ohio and its not very common for African American girls to go to the extreme of plactic surgery but I've always been different then the girls here.I want a really juicy booty to match my pretty face I would feel more confident. I love to dress up with the heels and all but I feel so restricted because I cant wear form fitted dresses as other girls do. I want to look good from head to toe and I know you ladies on here feel what I'm saying. I've been looking into surgery on my booty since I was about 20 I'm 30 today but back then I didn't see any kind of butt enhancement surgerys besides butt implants and I refuse to put any permanent foreign objects in me its just too many infection and maintanance risk that goes along with it plus it don't seem like it will feel natural.

I started to research Butt augumentations again about 2 years ago and ran across BBL with fat grafting. My first choice of doctor was Dr. Mendieta I saw him on the show the Doctors and he talked about the BBL surgery. I really love his results and his sculping techniques but after doing more research on several different unbias sites I found low ratings and a lot of complaints about him so I changed my mind. Then I found this wonderful site and thats where I discovered Dr. Salama and Dr. Campos, and Dr Markmann. Well I'm way to peranoid to travel over seas and heard of horror stories about traveling abroad so that exed Dr. Campos out. Dr. Markmann does wonerful work but his Average price is 18,000 and I don't know about you ladies but I'm not rich, I just can't afford him but I think he gives the best permanant results. So that leave me with Dr. Salama whom I have researched to the core and honesty I have not seen not one bad review about him, also he have very consistant results that make me think he's the Doc for me.

I noticed his prices quickly rising so I knew I had no time to waste and I payed my down payment just to solidify my date. I'm currently in nursing school and I berely get any time off besides christmas break and summer break so I scheduled july 2 so I would have time to heal b4 school start back up in late August. I really hope this surgery turn out well and I really appreciate all the ladies on here posting their experiences they have truly helped me in my decision therefore I feel its my duty to give back to other ladies that might be contiplating on this surgery. I will post b4 pics really soon ladies!

I can definitely relate to your story.I'm from Ohio and I've been wanting BBL before I even knew it existed lol.I plan on going to Salama during my winter break since doctors from the Ohio area aren't capable of giving me the results I want.Do you plan on have someone travel with you to Florida or are you going alone?
meelee
February 21, 2012
@smiley12 yes girl I researched so many doctors in Ohio and when I looked at their b4 and after pics I didn't see any difference in their butts. I think Ohio is just way too conservative for me! lol. I bet they would only put so many cc's in. My little male friend is traveling with me thank God because I hear so many girls on here say you need someone to help you. So what solidified your decision to go with Dr. Salama? and are you traveling alone? I'm having extream anxiety but I'm excited.

Dr.Shah in Columbus is $17,000 and the results were nothing to brag about.I was also looking at Dr.Hardaway and I couldn't help but notice all of her patients had such loooong butts in the after pics.They probably put like 250 cc's in and think they gave you a donk lol. I'm trying to talk my mom in to going with me because I haven't told anybody else.I like the shape Salama gives & everyone said he is really aggressive with the lipo which I need because I've lost a lot of weight and I plan on losing more but I don't want and tt because I don't have kids yet.What areas are you getting lipoed?
meelee
February 22, 2012
Wow 17,000 is a lot of money! I'm not opposed to spending that kinda of money if I research the doctor enough and see consistantly good results and reviews from different sites. Thats about the same price as Dr. Markman, man he is so good with the hips and the donk lol! but I have to say that the more results I'm seeing from Salama I'm starting to think he is just as good but cheaper. So how much weight have you lost? one thing that separates me from most of these girls on this site is that most of them are small in weight and I consider myself a thick girl just not in the right places. I'm 178lbs I want to lose about 20 to 30 lbs before surgery so time is ticking for me. I think I'm having my whole abs, flanks, back inner and outter thighs lipoed, and thinking of adding my arms because my arms are horrible. I definantly think you should have someone with you, you just have to add them into the bill lol!

Yeah Dr.Markman does great work and he sounds very well versed on bbl.I agree with you on Dr.Salama-he is amazing with a reasonable price.I hope his price stays the same while I'm trying to figure out a date lol.I have to figure out when I'm going to have enough time off from school to have it done.As of right now I'm down about 50 pounds.I was down to my goal weight but school has really been stressful and I gained some back.I definitely agree most of the women on here having bbl are already pretty small and proportionate and I am neither.My weight is in my stomach and back which looks terrible.I'm gonna be dangerous when I get some hips and booty lol!My biggest fear is that after I'm at my goal weight Dr.S will ask me to lose more weight to get my belly down more but I know if I get down too low my head with start looking too big for my body like Jennifer Hudson lol. I'm thinking about my arms too and possibly my inner thighs to create a gap but I'm not sure yet.

February 23, 2012
hahaha yes Jennifer's head is pretty big for her body! I think I'm gonna be dangerous also because I'm gonna have more of an extended wardrobe. I think you should shoot for winter break to get yours done most schools give you about 4 weeks off. Summer break was perfect for me I think its the longest break I get so I had to jump on it. I will have time to heal and a little time to play and show off my new body! and i definantly want the gap thats another thing I was cheated on all I have is fat thighs that rub together when I walk it sucks. I'm wondering how much extra it will be to add arms.

I know I don't have much money to spend on hotel fees so I'm gonna have to find a price thats in the middle range. but no I haven't booked yet did you do any research on pricing yet? I read alot of post about hotels from some of the other girls so I think I'm gonna take pen and paper and go back through their blogs and jot them down. I'm so thankfull for this site cause we get a lot of heads up I love it. I would love to meet up we should try to book the same hotel I will let you know what I find and you let me know of any good pricing ok?

hey girl - i was looking at the best western plus in dania. its one of the cheaper priced ones and its actually new too so im glad its clean. i saw in the pictures that it has a stove, fridge, and microwave but im assuming its more expensive for a suite rate but i dont see the price for the suites on orbitz.com. i really want to find a cheap but decent place that has a kitchen so i can go grocery shopping and cook everything in the hotel/condo so that i wont have to go running around for food. my boyfriend will only be with me the first 4-5 days. im trying to see if i can find someone to come take care of me when he leaves. have you found any cheap places yet?

and I just remembered I need to save enough money for the messages as well. I'm gonna try to have as many massages down there as I can

yup... i think im going with the best western plus fort lauderdale airport south inn and suites. total for 10 days is $667.70. i wish i could share with someone but just thinking about all the bodily fluids we're gonna leak from the lipo, it would feel kinda icky sharing a bathroom with others. if you find something else that has more than one bathroom and and less than 400-500 for person i would be happy to share with you~!

@atbabymamma that sounds cool I havent had the chance to look into hotels as of yet I've been so busy but I will here real soon but the best westren sounds good to me expecially if its new and reasonable cheap.I have to agree about the body fluids but sharing a place with two bathrooms sounds like a great idea to save money. I'm bringing my male friend with me to take care of me but I didnt think we had to stay for 10 dame days thats a long time but that price you quoted me wasn't bad but I don't know if he can stay for 10 days don't know if he can get that much vacation time. Ok so I;m gonna figure out how long Im going to stay and we need to figure out who got the suits with the two baths because that can save us both some cash so when I get the chance I will be researching also but I think I wanna get my plane tickets first
