These are updated photos. It seems my one breast is dropping although I gave up on it. Ive gained about 7-10lbs which I love as it's my thighs & butt. I was considerng a bbl but couldn't justify the pain it looks so I decided weight gain is better lol!
Im planning to see Dr Salama in a couple weeks for check up & consultation. I've decided I want thigh lift along with lipo on chin, lower back, & abdominal.
When I did my surgery I had 3 wks off work that was in addition to my vacation days ( i use vacation for travel to carribbean) my work is now only allowing my vacation days & that's it. So basically depending on what Dr says I might consider traveling abroad BC if I have to use my vacation days I want a damn vacation! Hopefully Dr says I can get surgery & fly for vacation next day. Yes I'm nuts lol! I will update how my consultation goes

6 weeks post op
I've made very good progress in healing no complications. Still a little sore but im just at 6 weeks. My scars are turning out nicely & I haven't even started scar treatment yet. I have dropped 2 pant sizes & couple pounds below my pre op weight.
At about 3 weeks I had a rip on the high tension area of one of my breast from the lift. Its very common although I was scared the implant was exposed. Everything turned out ok I followed Dr instructions. I also thought I had a "seroma" Dr. Salama had come in the office on one of his days off just to see me. Dr. went above & beyond by doing that for me! Turned out I was ok & it was just swelling.
My results so far are amazing. I do wish I was more curvy so I am planning to do more lipo for body sculpting. Dr could only do so much lipo as the state restrictions so its not his fault. My boob size is perfect. I was VERY worried about what the size outcome would be. When i did consultation I never got to 'try on' any sizers or anything only told Dr. I wanted to be a full C. It made me VERY nervous not knowing or being able to show him. Then when I went for surgery i told the Dr I wanted to be a D & not a C. He told me full D is pretty big. I then said ohhh hell no I don't want to be very big. I explained to him I just wanted them to fit my body & did not want to be top heavy. Well he did the size just what I had imagined. It was shock at first but I love them! haven't dropped & fluffed fully but the size is perfect!
The communication from the staff since surgery I would rate a 4 out of 10. They are all very nice sweet ladies but not on the same page. I had asked questions couple different times & got different answers everytime. Dr Salama I would rate a 10 out of a 10. I would highly recommend Dr. Salama. He's a very talented Dr. I will be getting more surgery done by him in the future.

Hi, you do look really great! I wanted to ask what are your stats? I'm 4 1/2 post op and I'm doing good but I'm a little puffy on my incision line- like its raised a little.. Hoping it goes away.. I'm not swollen anywhere else it's just centered under the line .. I can see it more while im wearing my compression... I go see my PS in 2 weeks for a check up. Do you have this problem at all? Thanks!
Check out maybe you acumularse fluid, are you masaging and keep compresion on, because it depends how much fat they removed, the fluid and swelling we had, I wear my faja for a good 6 months.
Thanks for your reply! I might need massage- I worry about scar tissue build up! I know I'm only 31 days post op, but I want to make sure I'm on top of it!
He is the bomb
you look great, big change! I wonder how much longer before the breasts--particularly the right one--will take before the implants drop into final position? Did he tell you when to expect that?
I'm concerned with that particular breast as well. When I saw him he basically said I have 3 months to drop if not I will have to reoperate. I have 6 more weeks to go before I find out if that's needed. I will post after seeing Dr. In a couple weeks for follow up
First off your results look awesome! I'm hlf that you would rate dr.Salama 10out of a 10 that reassures me in my decision to move forward with him despite the lack of professionalism and knowledge from The office staff. I haven't had surgery yet and I rate the office a 2 out of 10 and they are lucky I even rate them at that. Glad to know the rest of his staff especially the OR staff are on their game! Happy healing! Look forward to your progress pics.
Thank you & good luck with your surgery! Don't worry despite the office staff communication your in good hands with Dr Salama! Can't wait to see your journey!
I'm still swollen below my belly button area and above my incision line too. I did massage which helped little but when I went down in compression garment size it seemed to go away. I then slept one night without it bc I was so tired no engery to get dressed again and woke up swollen again. So i swear by those garments. I tried a $80 one I bought online didn't like it. I bought one locally for $120 and it was night and day difference so I would recommend a good one its worth the extra money (and I'm a frugal type of person lol) Hope that helps. Good luck with your recovery!
I also still use my lipo foam which helps a lot too

day 13
There is light at the end of the tunnel! got my garment last week. I was in pain thinking it would never end. Day 8 1 drain out day 10 last one out. Super easy to remove I did it myself. Day 11 I've been pain free since. The garment with lipofoam is very uncomfortable. I think they should of have paperwork what to expect or if certain things arrise to be a concern. I've never been through this so any little thing I freak out over not knowing what to expect. I freaked out bc they said wear lipofoam in the garment so it won't leave any creases or lines bc creases & lines is not good & the lipofoam is leaving both lol. I feel like I've called their office with so many questions I kind of don't want to call anymore. All in all recovery has been good no problems that were not normal. I will feel 100% once I can stand straight. Im hoping the area below my belly button tightens up when I do.
