The Body I Always Envisioned - Miami, FL

I would have loved all the fat to stay, especially in the hips. I was aware, however, that I would lose 50 - 60% of the volume. No matter... the lipo was a huge benefit. To not have any fat to pinch (anywhere) is nice. I'm generally viewed as being very fit looking... never a bad thing; and there's still decent projection of the butt. After the BBL, I was 44 inches around the hips and went up to a size 12. Previously, size 2's were tight in the waist. Now, they're really loose around the waist, thanks to the lipo. Yes, it was all still worth it.

Glad you are satisfied. Dr. Salama is a gem and Im very happy I chose him as my PS. Enjoy your new body!

Thank you for the kind words. You're right, you have to live your life for yourself. Acceptance has to come from within and those who choose to love you and accept you are your ute family and your real friends. My biological family has not spoken to me in almost two years... something that is unfortunate, but is the realization that I'm on the right path for me and tells me the fortitude is there to go-it-alone... and the real friends who see you as the strong, confident person you are, will naturally gravitate to you. Be warned, however, not everyone wants to see a strong, confident woman. It's a threat to many who are insecure. On a separate note, sort of; Dr. Salama performed my BA a few weeks ago, the review of which and more insights into this interesting, wonderful new life can be found there. Oh, and I chose to change my RS photo to a one-time, no-retakes passport photo from two weeks ago... taken at the courthouse by a clerk in the passport office. As opposed to a selfie, I figured this showed my "real self".

Very happy with the results and pleased with life as I finished my surgical journey in Thailand earlier this year. Life is fairly routine and even mundane. There are a lot of admirers, both male and female; but that's not what I'm all about. My wife is still by my side and supporting me. My entire biological family still doesn't speak to me. Their loss. My journey proved far more medically necessary than anyone, including myself, could have imagined, as long-suffered physical ailments have vanished with the removal of the defective glands. I don't spend time on RS, like I once did. I guess I'm happy with where I am and who I am... finally.

The scars are very small, but there is the possibility of larger scars if there are stubborn areas. It's a risk, as so with any/all surgeries. I had one area that left a larger scar, but I wear my scars proudly. They're almost like military campaign ribbons to me. Besides, I spend far more time clothed with any imperfections covered than I do wearing either a bikini or nothing at all. It's all worth it to me. I don't regret a single thing, other than taking so long to coming around to acceptance of who I am and the necessity of all I've done.

Thank you, tigerlilly! Precisely what I requested of Dr. Salama back in September. Likewise with the BA with Dr. Salama two days ago. In both cases, "classy not trashy" was the stated/requested goal. What I love about Dr. Salama the most (besides his skill and artistic eye for the female esthetic), is the fact that he listened to me!
