Skinny Girl Gaining Weight for Bbl - Aventura, FL

I hate wearing a garment all the time

It's very annoying to wear a garment all the time because you're restricted on what you can wear and its a bit of a process to put on and take off. But it is what it is. I've started wearing a waist cincher given to me from salamis office it's a 2xs small on top of my garment with foams and boards lol. I couldn't believe it fit me it says on the size chart that it's for someone that is 100 lbs lol. I'll be wearing a waist cincher everyday as much as I can even longer than the doctor recommended I just love the look and it's isnt uncomfortable for me at all. I kind of like the feeling of tightness.

I have absolutely no complaints with Dr Salama and his staff. I am very happy with my results, every one is so kind and they all take the time to answer all of your questions. If you are considering this surgery I highly recommend using Dr Salama as your surgeon.

How long are you suppose to wear the garment for after surgery? How does your stomach look? I took your advice and bought a weight gainer today so I'm excited to see how that works lol! You are my wish results!!! you have the best bbl results I've seen!!! Thank you for all of your updates :)
I was told to wear it for 8 weeks then wear a waist cincher for another three weeks I think. Every doctor is different. Cool! Just don't freak out if you don't gain weight right away it takes a month to gain about ten lbs. thank you so much means a lot!!:)
How did you fly home without sitting ?
Omg flying home sucked I stayed 19 days to make sure I wouldn't suffer on the plane thank God it was a three hour flight. I was so lucky I was in a row of three seats with just me and my mom I slept on her lap and stayed on my knees most of the time
I'm with you! I hate the garment. My poor butt crack! lol Are you also wearing the white foam pads underneath your garment? Im not sure how long we are suppose to use them... I'm 8 days post op. I go back to Salama office on Monday so they can remove the front drain. :)
You look amazing
You look amazing. I can't wait to get my bbl done

You look so good. Using you as my wish pic!
Aww :) thank you !!
You look amazing!!! I hope my results come out as good as yours!! I'm booked with a different surgeon - Dr. Fisher for february 12. I read that you had to gain weight for your procedure. I have to gain 15-20 pounds but its hard for me to gain weight. Do you have any recommendations? Also if you don't mind, how tall are you?
I'm 5"7. If you don't have a problem with protein shakes it's a really healthy way to gain weight. That have specific ones you can buy that are weight gainers they're about 600 cals a drink and stalk up on carbed protein bars. Other than that eat a lot of rice oatmeal pasta cream based. Hope it helps!
So are you saying that you can't sit for a whole month?? What about using the bathroom (#2)? So basically I need to take a month off of work if I get this done?
You can't sit for six weeks. If you absolutely have to sit you sit on a boppy pillow. For the bathroom it doesn't matter because you can sit for a few minutes.
Thanks so much for sharing your journey! It's been really helpful. You look fantastic!
Your results are amazing! How long did it take for ur brushing to go away? And as far as working did u take a lot of time off because of the pain or restrictions?

Few more pics!

Feeling so good. So happy to be back home it kind of sucks tho I can't go anywhere because I can't sit!! My weight has been so weird I go from 145 to 140 to 143 then back to 141 lol. I did notice that my butt has gotten a lotttt smaller because it's very easy to put on pants again but it's still huge! I love the size it's at now and I especially love my abdomen and back area!!
