Had my BBL...Now Give Me the Boobs! Full Lift with Silicone Implants #TeamSalama - Aventura, FL

ORIGINAL POST

I am scheduled for a breast augmentation with full...

$5,500

I am scheduled for a breast augmentation with full lift on 2/17/15. I am getting silicone implants under the muscle. I am not sure the size yet, I will find out on 2/16/15 when I have my preop appointment with Salama. Currently, I have deflated, shribbled, hanging raisins from breastfeeding all three of my kids. God please fix it…lol. I hope to go to a full D. Nothing too big, I just want perky, soft natural looking girls:)

I currently wear a 34 or 36 C depending on the brand--that is padded. If it is not padded I wear a 36B. I can sadly fit a small sports bra. How is this possible and my hips/butt measure 45 inches? SMH. Anyways, always wanted breast ever since I was 14. The girls at school teased me so badly. I remember going home rubbing butter on my chest with the hope of getting bigger boobs. #Ghetto! Needless to say it never worked.

In fact, I wanted to get a breast job before the BBL, but I needed that good lipo, so the breasts had to wait. Now finally it is within reach…bring them here…please Jesus fix it…LOL. I love my results from the BBL, I think my butt is the perfect size for my body and its looking more realistic as time progresses. I can’t even imagine how sick my body is going to be with this boob job.

You ladies don’t understand. I went from being picked on for being skinny and flat chested in school, to filling out and having a nice shape as an adult, to a fat ass after having my kids. I never imagined my body could look like this. I am so grateful and this is to show you can do anything if you put your mind to it. Go get it ladies!!

I am also getting my chin lipoed. I have a double chin….ugh! All the ladies in my family have it. It is disgusting. For an additional $250, bring it on. I hear the recovery is not that bad either. I am also going to get my boob fat lipoed from my axilla. This has always been a problem area. No matter how many push ups I do, it doesn’t go anywhere.

I am staying at the recovery house, so anyone staying there at that time, please inbox me. Also, any words of advice? I don’t know what to expect. I have a lot of answers about the BBL, but am at a loss for this surgery! Please help.

So far this is my list, most of which I got from my BBL supply list:

- Sports bras: Danskin found at Walmart
- TheraPearl™ Nursing Buddies $13.95 
- Skin shammy: very gentle on skin when bathing postoperatively 
- Bed lounge: it’s like having an easy chair for your bed

- Bacterial Soap (like Dial or Safegaurd)
- Hibiclens liquid skin cleanser
- Gauze/tape
- Small scissors

- Neosporin
- Disposable Chucks pads
- Peroxide
- Q Tips
- Loofa and exfoliating shower scrub (pre-op surgery shower)
- Razors or Nair (pre-op shaving a must; please get the vagina right)
- Thermometer
- Cell charger, music, iPad, laptop (things to keep you busy)
- Protein Powder/Meal supplement @ GNC (Lean Cinnabon Flavor was delicious!)
- Grabber to help with things you cannot reach or bend over to get after surgery

Medicine/Vitamins:
- Arnica Gel and tablets
- Bromelain Pills (Found on Amazon for $38)
- Prescription: Percocet, Zofran, Keflex, Colace

Glad you're happy with your BBL results. Congratulations! Sounds like you're more than ready to get your breasts lifted along with some perkiness! Love your helpful review...you're clearly an experienced patient with all your wonderful lists. Keep us posted!

Wow...thank you so much for you support. I was thinking about deleting my BBL profile because I did not think people really cared too much about what I was saying. Had it not been for this site, I don't think I would have ever had the BBL surgery. I was able to learn about the procedure, different doctors, supplies, etc. I am happy I can pay-it-forward and help others. Thanks again!

Hi! I'm on my fourth day post op from breast augmentation and let me tell you the doctor is a magician! I don't now if you are gonna need all the things you're listing, I'm actually just taking the medications he send me and arnica, and that's it jajajajajajaja. I hope it all will go well with you and for what I understand the bbl is ten times worst than the breasts augmentation so relax and enjoy!

I do you like your lift? I'm thinking about going to your doctor. Every doctor I go to they are trying to charge me 10,000.

Doctors in Ohio quoted me $14K. I'm glad I chose him. I paid a little over $6K for full lift with silicone implants. I think he did a great job. Good luck Hun.

Wow that's a lot.. I'm going to get it done in early October I'm just afraid of the scarring because I have Keloid skin. :-(

Dr. Salama uses a technique to minimize scarring. I thought my scars would be a lot worse. They are literally 85-90% unnoticeable. Just tell him your concerns...I am sure you will be fine. Good luck with your surgery

Periareolar lift instead of full lift?

As time draws closer to my BA date in February, I really want to get a periareolar lift vs the full lift with lollipop incision. I have researched both techniques thoroughly, and I love the natural look the periareolar lift gives. Also, although I have some sagging, my breast are on the small side. If I get a full lift with skin removal, how large of an implant will I be able to get? I know I would not be able to go too big as you cannot put too much tension on the midline incision. I only want to go to a small D cup, I am not asking for much. I talked to Cynthia, and she keeps telling me I need a full lift. What do you guys think? I posted a pic of a patient Dr. Salama performed the periareolar lift on; her breast preoperatively were similar to mine and i love her results.

Thanks in advance for your input.

Hey BBSWCF! Dr. Salama did his customary awesome sculpting for your BBL! You look gorgeous! He also did my BBL and everyday I look at myself and I can't stop loving it. He also just did my BL&A, and though I didn't want to be bigger than my pre-op c-cup, I am kinda wishing I got a bigger implant. I got 329ccs in each and I think 375 would have been perfect. I got an anchor lift. You are right, the periareolar is minimal scarring however, it depends on the results you want. The top of your boobs (upper pole) would still be a bit deflated and you would still have some sagging, if you only did a periareolar. If you want perky and full, chances are you will have to go at least a lollipop and possibly anchor. That said, you know that Dr. Salama is the master and he will have the best recommendation for you. Best wishes..Your body is going to be even more smashing!!!

LOL. Everyone says they wish they would have went bigger after a breast aug. I am scared they will be too big; I don't want massive boobs. I think about 400ccs. Thanks for your advice. I am sure Dr. S will guide me in the right directions. You look awesome hun. Are you tired of my comments yet? LOL. Happy healing!!
November 24, 2014
Go with lollipop !! Too much complication risk with periaerolar, I had it and its not worth it, plus ur nipples can expand and you can feel permanent suture- don't ruin ur body

BA with BL May 29th!!!

I have a new date for my breast augmentation with full lift. I had to reschedule my previous date due to my blood pressure. Things are under control, and I have a new date: May, 29th!! I will be staying at the recovery house for 7 days. I will arrive on May 28 for my preop appointment and fitting. I am also going to have lipo of my inner thighs, since I paid for it with my BBL but did not have it done, due to my low hgb. I am also having my boob fat, in the area of my axilla, lipo'ed as well.

I received my preop packet in the mail yesterday, and I was surprised to find out I need to have a mammogram performed for prep testing. Apparently, Dr. Salama now requires anyone over the age of 35 to have one done for breast augmentation surgery (I am 36...of course I just barely missed the cut off age). Who knew? I also need: EKG, preop physical with letter of release from my PCP, labs: CBC, BMP (Basic Metabolic Panel), Urine Analysis, urine pregnancy test, HIV, Hgb A1C (used to look at trends in blood sugar), PT, and PTT (Clotting factor test).

My bags are packed, my flight is booked. I need to finish paying the recovery house, and I am good to go. I am getting nervous, as time is flying by.

I just wanted to keep anyone (who is interested) informed. Fingers crossed, and I can't wait to be perky again!

Happy Healing
