Much Needed Massage

WORTH IT$6,150
I'm 5 days post today and I had my first massage at Dr. Salama's office. True to what everyone else previously stated, the massages can be rough. In anticipation of this, I started stretching a little while walking. Nothing major, I would just lean from side to side a little. Doing so was really trying. I also had my daughter rub my stomach and back in an up and down motion, which was hard as well. However, I noticed that I could sleep a hell of a lot better after. I was trying to prepare my skin for this massage and it worked. The massage was not nearly as hard as it would have been if I did nothing. My body is sore but the massage felt good. It helped drain me even more... not getting massages would be a huge mistake.

You look great and the massages get easier
Thanks, Dr. Salama really did a great job. I'm waiting until the swelling goes down a little more before I post more pics. This time the lighting will be better.

Swelling is going down and I'm draining beautifully. I don't know why some pics came out sideways, sorry about that. I'll try to correct but I'm too tired right now. Hope you guys can see the progress so far. Dr. Salama and his team really took great care of me. This process has been easier than I thought it would be. There is slight pain but meds control for the most part; nothing you can't handle. 2-Days Post...YEA!!!!!

So happy for you! I'm feeling really confident about chosen him for my BA and Lipo now. I'm going to make the dive. Did he put drains in the back too or was it just the font. Also does he include any free messages after the surgery or is it extra? What is the cost of the message? Thanks!
I do have two drains, one in front and one right between the inner small of my back, well really kinda between my butt. I got two massages that came with my price. I'm definitely getting extra massages because that's what's going to really smooth everything out. If I'm not mistaken, the massages are like 70 or 75 each.
He did a great job. You look beautiful. Happy healing !
Do u know your pre op measurements?
Before the surgery I was like 34/36/43 now I'm at 31/30/40. Dr. Salama got rid of all that nasty flank and back fat for real. I haven't been eating much since my procedure but enough to feel strong. I'm thinking this is why my hips are smaller; not to mention this garment which isn't even the real tight one yet. I'm glad though because once I get back to my regular self, I'll gain those inches in my hips and butt back without having to worry about my shape so I'm good!!!

I had liposuction on my chin, abdomen, flanks and upper and lower back with Dr. Moises Salama on Thursday. I decided to finally go through with having this procedure done in spite of all my fears because I truly wanted the stomach and back that I had as a younger woman (pre-kids). Dr. Salama was recommended by a friend after I had gone to two other consults that weren't impressive. Dr. Salama won me over because of his great personality, caring demeanor, vast medical education, numerous book collaboration on Plastic Surgery and most importantly he is a BOARD CERTIFIED PLASTIC SURGEON!!! I can't began to tell you how great Dr. Salama and his whole team treated me. I was sooooo nervous about this procedure until I literally was losing sleep over it. Looking back, I put myself through so much unnecessary stress because Dr. Salama is LEGIT. He is honest, kind, realistic and very serious about his craft. The Anesthesiologist (Dr. Hernandez) who works with Dr. Salama was the best!!! He explained everything that he would be giving me and listened to my concerns. He straight up told me "I'VE GOT YOU" that made me feel so relaxed and trusting of both he and Dr. Salama. I'm 1-Day Post; today I went in to be checked and have my lipo forms put on. It's only been 1 day and I'm swollen but I can already see a big difference and it's only going to get better with time. I just want to thank Dr. Salama 's whole team; the nurses that assists him during the procedure and his Administrative team...you all exemplify excellence. For all of you ladies who's seeking an awesome professional plastic surgeon call Dr. Salama. You will be forever grateful; I sure am! I'll post pics later because the ones I have are pretty messy.

Hi! I'm glad you went to him!! I'm considering him too. Do you have pictures of before and after? I'm getting the seem thing as you and wanted to see your results.
If you want the best results, you have to go to the best surgeon. Dr. Salama has done that for me and countless others. I have no doubts he will do the same for you. Those pics were taken two days after my procedure, swollen and all and the difference is sooooo noticeable. Good Luck!
Just wanted to thank you for the really kind words. Happy healing and please stay in touch.
Definitely...SALAMA FOR PRESIDENT!!!
Wow! He did an amazing job! You look great
