I had my surgery in December 23rd of 2015. I do have another review on real self under crose1011, but I was unable to update my doctor after I switched to Dr. Salz. I met with Jovanna who is a patient coordinator at Dr. Salz's office on November 6 of 2015. I was pushing for a date in December of the same year. After hearing from others that they were booked out until 2017, I still was not discouraged. I was told by the coordinator that if I had cash payment, she would be able to put me in for that December.
On the surgery day, I made it out pretty well. I had the help from my mom which was great.
Post op day one was extremely difficult for me. My face was swollen from sleeping on my stomach. The nurse came in to change my garment and she instructed me on how I can sleep in a more comfortable position.
At about two months out, it seemed that I had an infection as well as an issue with my hips. My left hip was very warm and hard. The hip had become extremely dark and shiny. It also began to get lumpy. I was given antibiotics and the area had loosened up.
In April I noticed a sore spot on my left hip that I needed to see the doctor about. He confirmed that I was experiencing fat necrosis. He used a syringe to extract the fat that had died. This did leave me with a bit of a depression on my left butt check and my right hip. I was scheduled to come back a month later to check on my results.
On my appointment date, I arrived on time and was brought into an exam room. I waited for about 45 min. I had to leave as my parking meter ran out. No one came in to check on me or to update me as far as when the doctor would be in. I ended up having to leave and I refused to put more money in the meter after having been at work all day and driven all the way to the office. I do live about 15 miles from the office.
Fast forward about a month later, and it was a repeat of the same thing. I haven't been back to the office because I cannot just stop by just to sit there all day. The appointments should be scheduled at times when the doctor is not in surgery. I do understand that the doctor is busy, but it is also important for them to respect the time of others.
I do still have depressions in my butt cheek and on my hip. I haven't stopped into the office or called because I became extremely frustrated. I do plan on reaching out to either the doctor or the office for some sort of assistance.

Wow thanks so much for this review. I'm always iffy about doctors that are so "social media" popular. You look really great btw!
August 15, 2016
Thank you!! Yes there is always a line that needs to be drawn to separate time to play around with that and time to get down to business and making patients happy

August 15, 2016

9 month update ????

Lalindamiami1011
I've been very frustrated lately as far as my results. I feel as if my butt has deflated a lot. I don't really feel as if I have very much projection. It's just really frustrating because a couple of months out from surgery, I was very happy. I'm not sure if my fat necrosis caused many of my fat cells to dissipate or not. I have contacted the office with my frustrations. I am patiently waiting for a date for a revision that will hopefully make me feel better about my body. I'm really hoping they call soon. It's really hard to see your body change for the worst post op.

Thanks for ur update doll!!! I feel like there are so many fake reviews for Dr Salz. Now! Your results look good, has there been any change since this pic?? Were they accommodating of ur revision???
October 13, 2016
Well I'm not sure, there may be. I am not happy with my butt. I have so many dents and the projection isn't there. I still just feel like I have a wide flat butt.
October 13, 2016
I also was told that I will be able to have a revision but they say they're booked so who knows if the revision will ever happen. I don't know. I haven't heard back

I'm scheduled with him as well, this makes me nervous. Do you see any major differences ?
October 13, 2016
My butt does not look as good as it once did and it is more wide and flat. I will definitely have to have a revision

Frustrated

Lalindamiami1011
I'm still frustrated and feeling more and more unhappy with my results. There is a very bad unnatural crease when you look at my profile. My butt appears very large and flat. I'm still waiting to see if I can get a revision or to have this redone. I still haven't heard anything from the office to fix this. I literally feel disfigured.

Oh my! How did this happen? Did he tell you ?
October 28, 2016
I'm not sure. I don't think he really knew how it happened. It may be due to fat necrosis. I was called for a revision for next Friday so i hope everything goes well.
March 22, 2017
How did everything turn out?
October 28, 2016
So you have heard from them and they are willing to fix it?
October 28, 2016
Yes I received a call from them on Wednesday. They offered me a date for next Friday. I emailed the doctor last week and he got back to me in a timely manner letting me know that he would make sure to get me a date for a revision. I am very grateful for that
November 16, 2016
Hey doll! Any updates? Did u get in for the revision already?
December 4, 2016
They actually told me I was too fat and my bmi was too high so I decided not to even bother with a revision from them
November 23, 2016
Wow I had the same problem with this line/ dent on my butt it just Appeared out of no where
December 4, 2016

I was a patient of Dr. Miami and I have the same crease on the right cheek. I'm happy with my projection and retention of fat. But, I'm disappointed about the crease. I will see if this is something that can be fixed and the cost(if any). I wonder if it's an oversight or a failure on behalf of the doctor or a defect that is within our body.
December 4, 2016
I definitely think it's something that the doctor is doing because only his girls have it. I haven't seen anyone else's bbls look that way
March 22, 2017
Were u able to get your rease fixed?
