3 and a half years post BBL
Hey guys, been a while! So I'm back because I'm not happy with my body... I have always felt that dr Salama went too big... 1400 cc's in each cheek even though I told him I didn't want it to look obvious I just wanted an overall better, curvier shape. Well my life has not been the same. It was fun in the beginning when I was living the club life in Miami... But living an every day normal life with a huge fake ass is wearing on me mentally. I can't go anywhere without hearing people comment, getting stares, dirty looks, even looks of shock like they can't understand what they are looking at... When I'm standing in line or walk out of a room people are talking about my big fake ass. I am tired of being a walking target for criticism. People don't take me seriously. Guys just talk to me because of my ass and some even find it disgusting. It doesn't look natural, especially on a white girl. People refer to me as a white Nikki Minaj... Who has the fakest looking ass on the planet, not the look I was going for. I've gotten comments like "she needs to change her diaper" and "look at her with her 2 for 1 ass" I have gotten to the point where I have anxiety everywhere I go and I stay home depressed... I am going on medication for it. I can't believe I spent all this money to live like this...I don't know what to do. I'm thinking about a revision. Some women want to go this big and I respect it... But I am not a model or a stripper or a video vixen so looking like this isn't doing me any Favors in the real world :/
Also, I have a lot of cellulite and it's shaped kind of odd and one cheek is bigger than the other... I have attached pics... The areas where I got Lipo are lumpy and veiny as well as loose skin.

2 years after BBL
Wow it's been forever since I've logged in. I want to update on my results 2 years later.... My ass is TOO big. I am a constant spectacle everywhere I go and I am sick of it. People pointing, staring, commenting laughing, making sexual comments, etc. life isn't normal. I get asked at least 3 times a day of my ass is fake. I didn't want it to look obvious I just wanted a nice curvy shape. Can I get a reduction ?
So 21 days aka 3 weeks aka halfway there! 3 more...
So 21 days aka 3 weeks aka halfway there! 3 more weeks to go until I can sit down!!! God how I crave a good sit session. I can't believe I've lasted this long it's been quite a journey. Let me tell you what I have learned from this experience so far and I will also tell you what NOT TO DO....
SO... the first 5 days to 1 week are SHITTY. No way around it. You are going through major trauma and your body is like OH HELL NO WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, I HATE YOU FOR THIS!!! You are swollen, weak, beat up, leaking fluids, in pain, immobile, can't sleep, emotional, can't poop to save your life!! I couldn't stand for more than a few minutes without feeling faint... you have to get in your fluids, gatorade (which I hate) and get up and walk!.... I requested Vicodin instead of percocet, why?? b/c percocets make you itchy and feel like throwing up and I don't need to add those feelings to this already shitty feeling. Vicodens have no side affects no itching, no nausaua. After about 5 days, I was feeling pretty damn good..... oh and at this point your ass looks crazy big, like scary!
Fast forward to today and I will tell you, I have good days and bad days with this.... sometimes I get really depressed... I am so sick of laying on my stomach all the time. I DO NOT SIT for any reason whatsoever, my boyfriend drives me everywhere and I lay on my stomach.
I refuse to use the boppy pillow it doesn't help at all, my ass is way too big and spills over onto the seat putting pressure on it. Let me tell you what I have done wrong:
1) I jumped the gun and took a little road trip to my hometown (I drove) its an hour and a half there and an hour and a half back, plus driving around town... I ghetto rigged the boppy pillows with some foams and still felt like I was doing damage. I felt tingling sensations in my butt while I was sitting, I was thinking ahh the fat cells are dissapearing and I can feel it! Well guess what, I have some flat spots and bumps now that I never notices before. NO GOOD.
2) I went out and drank during this little trip and I came home and fell asleep in some gym shorts with a really tight waistband... guess what... I woke up with a very deep indentaion around my entire stomach from the waistband, that was 4 days ago, and some of it is still there!!! I fear I may have permanently disfugured my stomach from this!!!
3) the garment... I don't wear it all the time.... I wear it like 60-70% of the time. I am starting to feel like I'm getting "fat", some of the areas are begining to look flabby, and cellulite is showing up.
4) my ass sometimes is TOO BIG, everyone stares, I see people laugh sometimes I feel like they are making fun of me or something... all I know is I am a spectacle in public and I'm not sure I like this... I wanted to look good but not too obvious.
my ass is 49 inches around.... it hasn't shrank much since 8 days out.... I'm happy about this... I may want to drop a couple pounds and if its "too big" that means I can save some of my ass when I drop the weight. My stomach is lumpy and weird looking, but my waist is tiny! I am happy with my shape, its so much better than before and I would definetly recommend this surgery to anyone who wants a better shape. 3 more weeks to go, I just want to be able to sit, go to the gym, so many things in life require sitting and I feel like I'm missing out! But I know this is all worth it in the end! xoxox

Dr. Salama is professional and friendly as well as his staff. Everything is A+ except for the ridiculous wait times due to overbooking appointments on wednesdays (which is his only day in the office) I feel if he's going to take on so many new patients while treating so many old patients, he should be in the office more than once a week. He did an excellent job at sculpting my new figure, it's exactly what I wanted.
