I Developed Cellulitis After Mommy Makeover

I am 10 days post opp and completely regret my decision with surgery with Dr. Moises Salama. I am just super upset and waited a few days to start my review. I am a Flight Attendant at a major airline and could have flown anywhere in the world to have gotten this done. I chose Dr. Moises Salama because he is board certified and his Mommy Makeovers looked wonderful. I had my surgery on 09/10/2021. I saw the medical assistant, she checked my scar, gave me some cream and a prescription to fill.. l was upset said to myself it probably wouldn't get worse than that. I have had other things done in past never in my life had l ever developed anything like this. Today, on 09/22/2021 l have a hole in my stomach, literally a hole!!! I went to the ER over the weekend because l was having bad sweats and my heart was very racing. I just noticed under my right breast yesterday and on my belly button that the same thing which l have learned now is Cellulitis. I now have three different areas with this happening. The emergency room doctor told me in my case it was mostly a bacteria called MRSA.l spent my whole Saturday getting blood work done to make sure nothing was in my blood stream.He told me to follow up with my primary doctor. I am now freaking out because it seems to be spending. I will update what Elite Plastic Surgery has to say or how they plan to help and what my doctor says today. I gave two stars because before this happened the office, staff and doctor were very nice and always answered my questions.

So sorry this happened I know what a botched job feels like, how are you doing?

Honestly, this wasn't his fault. I have done a lot of research and spoke with another doctor. I'm not infected and sometimes this happens to a rare few. It had nothing to do with the way he did my surgery.

A doctor that cares

So l changed my review from 2 stars to 4 stars, because of Dr. Salama. He genuinely cared about what was going on with me. He gave me his person number and has continued to check up on me. I appreciate that so much. I am feeling great and looking 100 times better. Hole is closing in both spots. This wasn't his fault, sometimes these things happen. I'm just thankful he is board certified or it could have been worse. I love my boobs so much and my waist is slimming down!

Hello! I'm glad you got medical attention and it is something that is treatable. I'm also happy to hear that the Dr. reached out and you have a way to connect with him. My son had MRSA (staph infection) when he was 3. He's 10 now and it is completely healed. He does have a little scaring but it does not look bad. Thank you for sharing your story as I'm considering getting a BBL and this was very informative. That is very scary. I hope you are feeling better.

I'm really glad that Dr Salama gave you his number and is staying in contact with you. I have a bbl scheduled with him in Jan and this is so scary! I am so sorry it's happening to you :(

I recently went to him and I’m starting to have issues. No answers my emails. Did your cellulitis start off looking grayish blue in the open wounds.
