2 months post opt Salama bbl
WORTH IT$7,900
I will be 2 months post opt in 2 day (July 3, 2014). I've gone down in swelling significantly and my red blotches are beginning to disappear. At 6 weeks after a bbl a person should be cleared to sit, but I haven't done so. I still use the half yoga roller for driving. I bought a 5" twin mattress topper and cut out a hole, then I made a nest for my butt using a bolster and the boppy pillow for sleeping on my back. When I sit on a chair I also use a bolster because it's softer than the half yoga roller.
I went back to work and the girls I work with have mixed emotions about my butt. Some say it's really big, but I love it! Other girls keep telling my customers I have a fake butt, but it's my own fat, how the hell is it fake? ?? Fake or not it's my business to announce it to my customers. Overall, I'm very happy with my results.

4 weeks post-opt Feeling good
This week marks four weeks post-opt. So far I've received seven manual lymphatic massages with some soft tissue work. I feel so much better after each massage. However, I still feel the firm and irregular bumps in my skin. My massage therapist and I agreed that 12 massages is not enough to smooth out these areas, so I'm committed to for at least 1 yr once a week (52 massages).
I've left the compression garments that Dr. Salama gave me because they weren't compressing my stomach anymore. I bought a Vedette size 32 style 103 (xs) and it doesn't compress anymore either. I bought a Vedette size 28 style 128 (xxxs) and it compresses nicely, but not enough because my board and foams still fit. I also bought a RUBII size xs-m style BR9260, which is great because it has velcro and allows me to tighten when needed.
My only concern is these nasty blotches of red/purple lipo marks on my sides. They look horrible and I'm sad because I've never had marks like these on my body. On a more positive note, I love my booty!! :):)

Love your booty
Where did you get that black body shaper in last picture, and how is that called
Have you tried on old jeans yet? It's been on my mind whether or not I will have to buy new jeans?? You look awesome! Your butt is the perfect size :)
Good Choice with The lymphatic massages...there's never too manny and if u can afford that manny, go for it. The marks from Lipo and cellulite will take time to clear and improve hun it's only been a month... Final results take up to a year with bbl and everything will change... Be patient and just do what u can and take tips from ppl who been through it and u will get back to normal. Everyone heals differently and in a different time frame.., you booty looks great and some things/changes on your body r part of the process and a price we pay when we go for improvements. Some positive n some negative but what's important is the outcome and the satisfaction with the actual procedure. You look amazing and are healing very well from the pics u posted... Just hang on there and enjoy ur bootay!!! =)
OMG!! You look great! How was the healing for you?? Mine seemed like forever but I'm glad it's over.. I've been at wk for 2 weeks now and everything is fine.. Stage is better then before lol.. As of being sore, I was after my first day but I think it's just because I was out of wk for a bit.. When are you coming back?? I hope everything is going well!
Glad to hear from you. I feel much better now, but my skin is still sensitive (especially sides). I'm excited to get back to work, but I'm still not cleared to sit until next week. I anticipate going back to work by the end of this month. I get my massages with a women that has experience with lipo patients. She is located in Boys Town on Belmont and Southport. Let me know if you want her #. Ciao for now:)

Three weeks post opt
Today marks three weeks since my surgery. I feel great now that all my drains are gone. I've now gotten use to sleeping on my stomach without pain.
I've gotten four massages from three different people, but I don't like any of them. They don't use the ultrasound machine that Celia or Eylenee used back in Aventura. I've also been using my heating pad for 15 min on both the front and the back, then I use my own weight to roll around with my yoga roller. I take 325 mg of iron and drink lots of water.
My only concern is the marks I have on my flanks. Dr. Salama did lipo on my pelvic area and it is super hard... I hope that goes away soon. Overall, I LOVE MY A$$!!!!
Ciao

Happy healings. Looking very good., . What are your measurements so far .
I'm 37-27-39. Lymphatic masseuse said that it's fluid and my butt will probably go down.... Bummer because I really like the size it is now.
Yea they do shrink quite a bit after all the fluid is out and swollen is gone...they also get soft. But hopefully u won't loose manny fat cells and still end up with a satisfactory result.
Your A$$ is looking great girl!!! Lumps from Lipo will soften within time... As soon as u start working out they will get smoother...the lymphatic massages r VERY important thou and u should do all the sessions recommended...the marks or scars will also get lighter and more flattened ... Start with the maderma after is completely closed and no sun exposure. Also do yourself cross fiber massage with ur fingers over it to break the adhesions... I'm a LMT and know the miracles massages can do :)
Can you explain how to do cross fiber massages? ?
Thanks for the cross fiber massage tip. I found a YouTube video titled, How To Do Cross Fiber Massage Strokes | Deep Massage
Glad to help :)
Index and middle finger tips med pressure crosswind over the scar one point to another back and forth...go on youtube to see a video to get the idea...
Correction: "Crossing over the scar"
Thank you
What garment are you wearing now??
I'm still using a medium lipo express garment, which I cut the bottom part off. I layer a tee, board, foams, garment and a veddete waist cincher style 103. The medium lipo express garment is too big, and I don't feel compression.
Omg! I feel for you with that bruising!! You look amazing though. Nice booty! Looks worth it :)
Thank you
Your booty looks amazing. ? Did he gave you hips , or you didn't ask for hips. ?
I didn't desire hips. I wanted projection. He asked me if I wanted hips and I said 'what the hell, go ahead. This is a major change for me
