Mommy makeover with dr. Salama - Aventura, FL

ORIGINAL POST

I'm scheduled for surgery with dr. Salama on...

WORTH IT$13,500
I'm scheduled for surgery with dr. Salama on August 25th. I scheduled my surgery 4 months ahead of time and was told that was the soonest date they had but I would be placed on a waiting list for a sooner surgery day. Well, according to real self reviews, new patients are just scheduling and having surgery weeks before my date. The doctor has already been paid in full $13k. I'm happy that other women aren't being pushed back, but I'm also disappointed. I wonder if I had waited to pay them in full if they would have actually returned my calls. I chose dr. Salama because of all of the wonderful reviews. He was amazing during my pre-op and zuny and the lady taking my blood were also both great. But at this point, I just feel like another $13k.

I am sorry to hear this is happening to you. This sounds really odd. I can't understand why you are having such a hard time getting a sooner date. Typically, when you pay your money in full, you are good to go for surgery. Contact Nomi; she is the office manger and let her know your concerns. I know 4 months seems like an eternity. When I scheduled my surgery he was booked out for one year. I booked my surgery in 10/2013; my surgery date was 9/2015...the next available date. Good luck with your surgery.

Thank you! I've been so upset about this too! I scheduled 3 months ago and was told he was booked until next fall so I took the first date he had even though it wasn't a good day for me...for the last month I've seen girls all over realself scheduling dates that they told me he didn't have! I've been begging Nancy since May to reschedule and she says there's nothing. Now that my surgery is in a couple days I just get more upset every time I think about it! All this stress I'm going through trying to make this date work when there were other dates available the whole time :( I really really liked Dr. Salama and I know he's the best otherwise I would have let them keep their deposit and gone somewhere else where they accommodate you. Sorry you're going through this too, so frustrating.

girl, thats the same exact thing that happened to me, I've had other patients that booked their date after me get earlier dates and i was told that there were no more dates available so i basically took what they gave me. i wanted to do my surgery around august 25-28th and i was told that those days were booked, but i have had another person call in and booked after me and was given that date, i just don't understand.

Mommy makeover- want to switch dates??

elissamayJuly 8, 2015
I'm having no luck at the office. My surgery is scheduled for August 25. Anyone else having a FOUR HOUR procedure want to switch dates with me? I need something sooner than the 25th. My mom is having a double mastectomy August 26 so I need to be there for her. I'm getting married in a few months on an island, so I also cannot postpone. Feeling very discouraged right now and down about my decision to do this. Please let me know if you have a July or early August date that you'd like to trade off for. I've seen so many new patients go in for their consults and write reviews about having surgery before mine. I've been on a waiting list so I don't know how this is possible. Anything sooner for the same length surgery would be appreciated. Xo

My mommy makeover was moved up to August 4th!! I'm so thankful that the office listened to my concerns and made every effort to resolve it. Thank you, Cynthia!!! Ok, so now I can honestly say I'm terrified. Any advice on anything I can start doing now to help with skin elasticity? I'm concerned with the surgery further damaging my skin and giving me more stretch marks. I'm also worried about implant size because implants seem to look so very small the more I look at them. Hopefully the next 2 weeks fly by and I love my results and dont have to go back for bigger. :)
