WORTH IT$5,899

I am so freaking excited! I just booked my surgery for May 29, 2012 with Dr. Salama in Aventura, Florida. It is so long away, the anticipation is going to kill me. I am stationed in South Korea and after seeing the reviews here on RealSelf, I knew that Dr. Salama was the right doctor for the job. I have been wanting this procedure for so long, I can't wait to get it over with.

I was thinking about getting 800 to 1000cc in each buttocks. I am about 145lbs and 5'5''. I wanted to get 1000cc because I know that some of the fat is going to get reabsorbed in my body but I didn't want a "big stupid" booty. I just got my husband warmed up to the idea so I don't want to push my luck!! lol

I think I'm going to book a room at the Marbay. I am trying to talk my friends into getting procedures do that we can save on the hotel room.

I'm happy that I booked the surgery on special! It includes lipo of the upper and lower back, flanks, upper and lower abdomen; 2 post operative massages; 2 compression garments; transportation to and from airport, to and from all appointments.

Before pics coming soon!

Congrats! We are about the same height weight and he said between 800 and 1000... I think more is good for me b/c I will lose some and I dont want to go back after all this for more.

Yes I know what u mean. I know I am a little backwards, but my husband and I plan on having a child in the next couple of years so I want enough just in case my baby try to take my new booty!! lol The logical thing would be to wait until after a baby but I'm too pressed!!

The anticipation is killing me!! lol. I changed my surgery date from May 29th to May 18th!! I wish I could do it earlier but since I am in the Army, I had to make sure that I had enough leave day accrued. I really love this website and it has helped me tremendously in choosing the best surgeon for me. After looking at some ladies before and after photos, I think I want about 1100 cc's in each buttocks.

Kim K., who?!! lol

March 14, 2012
I am so obsessed! I come on this website everyday and look at reviews and b4 and after pics. I just really can't wait becuz I have been wanting this surgery forever. I will definitely keep u guys posted.
March 14, 2012
Hey army diva. Congrats on booking w dr. S. outta curiosity how did you get an earlier date? Because I was told may was filled up.
March 14, 2012
I called Ruben in February and changed the date. I wanted the 16th but that day was unavailable. I think that ppl ofter reschedule so you may have some luck if you check in periodically!
March 16, 2012
thanks for the info.
April 9, 2012
hey there! I am going in May 22. Getting so nervous! How much time did you take off from the army?
April 30, 2012
My apologies for the delay in correspondence. But I took off for 30 days. I just hope that it is enough time to recover so that I can fulfill all of my physical military obligations. But I already let my primary physician know that I plan on getting elective surgery so that he can give me a doctors note excusing me of some activities if need be.

The closer I get to the date the more concerned I become. When I first booked my surgery with Dr. Salama, he was charging $5499 and RealSelf still had posts of people who were paying less than that. Now he has went up $1000 in his fee. I am coming from so far away that it is no looking back for me; I am going to just hope for the best and pray to God that my results are what I want.

It seems like the higher Dr. Salama's price has increased, the worse his results have gotten. Maybe I am just tripping but some of these women on here just looks like they got "Walrus" butts (huge and wide but still flat) and I really don't want that to happen to me. I really want a good profile and silhouette (you know that "S" curve ladies). I just hope that he can give me what I wan because I have not seen him do it lately. You will know what I am talking about if you see the shape that Dr. Jimerson gives his clients.

Anyways, I have been shopping like crazy ordering things that I think I may need. A lot of what I have has been suggested by the ladies on this site so Thanks Ladies! I was able to get all of my lab work done by my primary physician and I have gotten all of my prescriptions filled. So, I am good to GO!

New booty here I come!

I know, I'm excited for you! Its gonna be great!!! Yes, my biggest concern is the flight, its super long and I definitely don't want to deflate my booty LOL...I had the same deal with my flight EMPTY I was totally knocked out...Good luck to you I cant wait to see before and afters...maybe we'll link up at some point and party with our new bodies : )
April 30, 2012
Definitely BBL Buddy! I told my husband that when I get my surgery he is not going to be able to tell me nothing. I may be in the Army but my alter ego is a video vixen!! lol So we can definitely get our party on in Korea with our new booties!!

You know I thought the same of his prices increasing and results not as "good" as they used to be....I wonder what is he doing differently. Anyways, I just left Dr. Andrew Jimmerson's website and did a quote for $8,300 to $9,800 for bbl only! But his results are really good like Dr. Campos, Dr Salama's, and a few other good ones. I cant change but I wonder what is Dr. Salama doing differently to not have the "S" curve like he used to.
April 30, 2012
He is probably rushing and is over-work. I just hope that he don't rush on me. I don't have any money to throw away. His prices are still competitive with other surgeons but soon it won't be with the rate he's going.

Thanks AlohaLisia...I appreciate the it!

I also want that "S" shape without a big shapesless butt! I just want a nice shape and also recently his work has been scaring me a little.
May 1, 2012
Same here BottomsUpNYC. I still have to put on a pair of ACUs so I definitely can't be walking around with no big stupid booty. All I need is a little umph in the trunk without the junk!! lol
