Tummy Tuck with Mini BBL with Dr. Salama - Aventura, FL

I will be updating tonight it's been a while since I logged in.

Hello ladies it's been a while since my last update where I told yall that Dr Salama prescribed me antibiotics which didn't really help they would just make me sick. I messaged Dr Salama and the nurse again last week to let them know I was growing concerned with my thigh because it was not getting any better and it was starting to hurt. I asked Dr Salama what he thought it could be and he said it looked like a rash to him and that steroids might help. His nurse sent me a script for the steroids and she said to take them and if it dosent help go to the ER or fly overthere. My intuition kept telling me something quint right. So I waited till Friday so I can drop off the kids with their dad for the weekend and my husband took me to the ER. They drew blood work and did a CAT Scan on my hip because they said that my thigh is not supposed to look like that at 3 months. And they where lecturing me for waiting so long. When the results came back they said the cat scan showed I had an abcess with pus that had to be drained and that they are calling in a general surgeon to perform surgery on my thigh so the infection which was found in my blood work aswell won't spread further. Thank God it didn't spread to the bone. They had me hooked on an IV with antibiotics and they admitted me into the hospital. I found out I'm allergic to vancomicin because trash soon as they put it in my iv I had a horrible itch all over my body and scalp. It was unbearable so the nurse changed my antibiotic and discontinued the vancomicin. They also did cultures to see what kind of bacteria it was. From day one I remember having that redness but I thought it was just swelling from the hip lipo that's why I didn't worry. It's very important to be able to follow up with your doctor constantly after surgery and that's the only reason I wouldn't recommend going out of town unless your able to travel back and forth alot. I had sent several emails with my thigh concerns to Dr Salamas office but they didn't respond until I finally decided to call and speak to someone at the office which she informed me the nurse was on vacation so she gave Dr Salamas email. But regardless I waited to long and now I have two holes in my right thigh with drains...I was so scared. I get anxiety when I look at the holes. The surgeon that removed the abcess told me I had to keep the holes open with the drains and just change my dressings 1 or 2 times a day. He wants to make sure all the infection drains out so he cannot close it or it will swell up again. I will follow up with him in 2 weeks so he can remove the drains and even then he can't sow me up the holes will have to heal and close on their own. I been a nervous wreck. I got released from the hospital Sunday and I am doing ok. Thank God I don't have to go to work. I work from home. Ladies I will upload pics as soon as I can so yall can see the outcome.

Hi ladies sorry for taking so long to post life got back to normal and I got super busy with my accesories buisness, the kids, cooking, cleaning, etc.....I lost count but I think I'm 11 weeks post op. My scar is sealed and I no longer wear a full garment. Instead I wear a waist trainer for a few hours and then take it off. Loving my results the only issue I have is my right outer thigh where I got liposuction, it's swollen, red, hot to the touch and hard. Something didn't seem right and it's also painful so I contacted Dr Salama office and forwarded the pics that I sent to Noemy the nurse I guess she was on vacation to Dr Salama himself and he prescribes me 2 antibiotics. I just started taking them last night. I had fever last night too and chills but then I took some ibuprofen for that. I layed on my hips my whole recovery so I thought maybe It's just taking longer to heal because I'm constantly irritating it. But I guess I do have an infection if I have to take two antibiotics. I'm not mad because I know infection is a risk of surgery. It's not common but it can happen. I mean my tummy tuck incision and belly button never gave me an issue or the BBL, it's just my hip/thigh...I even thought I had a hematoma or something. I'll post some pics. On another note I went to the gym yesterday and finally started doing weights...nothing really hurts at this point but my thigh. And I have a stretching feeling with my tummy tuck throughout the day. I get minor swelling at nights still on my belly bit nothing major. Also my hubby got me a Ninja smoothie machine and I been eating pretty clean except for Christmas and new years. I'm scared.to gain all my fat back lol...As for the BBL I am no longer using the cushion and my booty is almost done softening up...big improvement. Im definitely more confident in my body and all of need now is to tone and build muscle. I'll update more pics later.
