WORTH IT$6,799
Hello ladies, I am new to RealSelf, and I'm down already. Im lost, and have a few question, and is seeking guidance in selecting a doctor to perform my BBL, here it goes.
Ok last week I drove down to Dr. Mendietas for my consult, (I live four hours away). I have been interested in him for about 3 years now, he and his staff were are really pleasant, and all went well. I was shooting for a surgery date in late June, but after learning of additional expenses, I figured late July would be more suitable. So once I returned home, I decided to take to the web to learn a bit more about pain, and recovery, and stumbled across this site which introduced me to you lovely ladies, a less expensive price, and yep....Dr. Salama!
Dr. Mendieta seems to excel in body contouring while Salama as well as Dr. Pazmino excels in giving you the 'juicy booty (i want both :) ) Salamas price beats Dr. M's by roughly $3k, and that savings sounds really really good, but I also want to be fully satisfied with whichever I decide on, and don't for one second want to go to the more expensive of the two (Dr.M) and feel like 'Darn it, for this, I could have gone to the other Dr. Possibly have gotten better results anddddd saved some buks'.... BBL sissys, if you girls have dealt with either of these guys, and could possibly offer me any amount of guidance, please, please let me know. Whereas to I can feel my self beginning to obsess and stress out about this lol....I WANT BODY AND BOOTAY A.S.A.P HELP!!!!

Aww thank you! I actually called Dr. Salama and spoke to Nancy yesterday and mad a deposit locking in dec 10th, he actually only had the 10th and 11th available....and the price is increasing by like a grand sometime next week so i jumped on it.I hate that it soooo far away, but I suppose I can wait.
I figured the girls seem too be pretty darn satisfied with their results, and so was I! And why not save $3k if I can...I can't wait! Have you had your sx yet?

Hey gurl, nope my surgery is set for oct.4... N I can not wait... I'm starting to plan n look for flights
June 23, 2012
wow, I read this post late. I posted above asking why my quote was a thousand more than yours but now I know it wasn't a mistake. How did you know they were increasing the price by that much? Is this normal for them to increase by 1,000 every week or month? Everyone better get their appointments scheduled before his prices are too high.
June 23, 2012
Nancy told me when I made my initial call there.
I don't think it Increases on any particular schedule.

After basically reading all of the reviews that my BBL sisters have posted regarding both doctors, I have opted to go with Dr. Salama. This wasn't an easy decision by far where as to them both being ultra talented in what they do, Mendieta in body Contouring, and Salama in forming and projecting the buttock. Now this is how I came up with my decision:
MENDIETA
-really good at body sculpting, but while reading reviews, many of his patients seemed to be satisfied with their curves, but dissatisfied with there buttock not projecting as requested.
-nothing seemed to be included in his really expensive fee.
-his staff seemed to give one of our BBL sisters the run around when inquiring about a garment.
-oh, and did i mention Really expensive...$9850 and that's with the "special" he's running, regularly $14,000!!!
SALAMA
-really good at projecting the buttock, and sculpting the body as well. (his fee was like $3k less than Mendietas, so why not go with him, basically be guaranteed at nice butt, with a really strong chance of getting the curves, versus going with Dr.M, getting the curves, and more than likely, not the butt..so basically a better chance of being satisfied with Dr. S while saving $3k at the same time)
-his fee was $3k less than Dr. M's and included the garments, pillow, 2 massages, transportation, and I can't remember what else offhand. But all in all my sx, hotel, food, and transportation to Miami...overall total will be less than Mendietas fee alone! Woohooooo
-I love his results based off of the before and after pics on here.
That's pretty much how I came to the conclusion that I wanted to go with Dr. Salama. So two days ago, I made my first call to the office, spoke to Nancy, who was just as sweet as a button, a learned that they were booked out until January, but she happened to locate 2 appointments in December so I took the earliest one, I hoped in my car, ran out to the bank, and made a transfer to pay my $680 deposit (Dr. M's would have been $2000) locking in December 10th. So although it's like over 6 months away, and I'm ready like yesterday lol, I'm super confident that I made the right decision by selecting him, and I get to save $3000 in the end :) So the wait is worth it.
P.S. If you're going with Dr. Salama, it would probably be a good idea to book ASAP, whereas to his appointment are booked up for like 6months, and the price increasing, (which is still a better price than Dr. Mendieta's)

August 2, 2012

June 15, 2012

June 25, 2012
The massages, do you know if they are half hour or 1 hour sessions? Trying to research a massuse now.
June 15, 2012
Pain is beauty, my initial dr...Mendieta was talking $9850 on special,, and I thought that was a deal until I discovered RealSelf, thank god I did! :)

Congrats ForveverBooty on making a decision!! I was in the same position as you but I chose to go with Dr. Jimerson in Atlanta (8800. butt, 9800. butt and hips) I know pretty steep!! I don't want to just cut corners on soemmthing so serious and permanent. Dr. Jimerson has nothing but good reviews and Salama 's reviews are all over the place. Seems as if you've done your research so Good Luck and keep us posted!!
June 18, 2012
Thank you, and congrats to the both of us on making such a tough decision! I tell you what, I was beginning to loose sleep stressing about what I was going to do. You are so right about it being such a permanent and serious procedure. I do think I've heard very much of Dr. Jimerson. When's your date?
