I was very hopeful when I went to Salama, however my results are just awful. My butt is HUGE, looks saggy on the right side and like a diaper on the left, and is lumpy with several large dents. I have a pronounced shelf indentation above the whole top of my butt that makes it look fake as hell. My hips are very uneven and my waist which used to look cute and pronounced now looks weird and disconjoined from my lower half, especially in clothes. My widest area is now my saddle bags, so my torso looks weirdly long. I had hoped to be hour-glass shaped, since that was my initial shape anyway. To top it all off, despite my efforts to use cocoa oil on my butt and mederma on scars, I have nasty stretch marks all over my entire butt, and my scars are awful and obvious in some places. Since I'm white, there is dark purple striations under the skin where he did lipo. I was unaware of this side effect, and a faux spray tan cannot hide it. Worst of all of this is that my hips are completely uneven and look deformed. I feel mortified and humiliated every time I see my reflection. I cried myself to sleep for the first three months or so, and the critical comments I've received from family, friends, and strangers has left me being more of a recluse. His office staff told me to "keep massaging the dent areas." um as if that would fix anything. Another thing I will say that no one will tell you is that you can forget about being a back sleeper. Its been a nearly a year and I don't know what its like to sleep the whole night through anymore. Its also painful on my tailbone to sit for too long, and I have to stand up very slow. I will say this: Dr. Salama's bedside manner is great. I'm going to give him a chance to fix this. If he does, I will post a follow-up about successful revision. No matter what, I don't think it can get much worse than what I've already got (knock on wood!!!!), and his revision fee to honor his work certainly beats paying for a full bbl through another doctor. PS, be prepared for the most uncomfortable beds ever in his "care house." My lesson learned here is that I wish I had loved myself enough as I was. Even if he can can fix the shape somewhat, the scars, stretch marks, lipo striation, permanent discomfort, and mental distress will always be there.

Thank you for sharing. Best of luck on your revision!

Can you post some pictures? You said it's been a year, so everything is pretty much healed and it would be nice to have a visual to go with your review so others that are considering this doctor can make a more informed and educated decision. Hope your revision goes well.

I would luv to see some pictures

Hey I dont mind sending some directly. For some reason I couldnt message you directly on here. Can you msg me?

Hope things work out for u. I have fears about getting bbl and am afraid I'll ruin what I have instead of making it better. But with that being said, we are our own worse critics. There are alot of bad reviews without pics... they don't have enough impact without pictures.

This is saddening to read. I thought Salama was doing better. Have you thought about consulting with other doctors to help you out. Perhaps it' s not as bad as you think it is? Do you have pics?
March 4, 2016
Ill send you some pics. You can be the judge. :)

Its tough to get pics of the dents... This is the best I could get. Im also posting before and after of my front. I don't have hips anymore, I just have fat on my lateral buttocks that makes it look like I have wide saddle bags.

My results look sort of like yours with the dents, etc. You should send him pictures and tell him that you want your problems fixed.

I think he could fix my dents but not my sides. His contouring is consistently bad from what I'm seeing online.

You're a brave and beautiful lady for sharing your experience with other women. Best of luck girl!!

Thank you!

Hello and thank you for sharing your pix. In my honest opinion your frontal pic is not bad. There are a couple imperfections, but it isn't very bad. I do notice some dents on the side view pix. Hopefully, he can offer a revision of some sorts. Have you looked into some sort of laser/ultrasound treatment for the Dents? I think I saw an episode of KUWTK where khloe had it done (she had a bbl too) Best of luck to you hun. I hope you get the results you want.

I've been looking at Jimerson to fix my shape... I can understand some people might like the low look, but I liked the shape I had before way way way better. I asked him just to add some below the point where I had the most fat... He ended up taking it all off. As far as the dents go, they are pretty deep. I definitely need fat added, and in general I need fat added to give me a "lifted" look.

Thanks for sharing love. Your Frontal pic looks better than your before for sure. I do see the unevenness on one side. You should try cool sculpting on JUST that one side and it will go down and even out a bit more. As for your bum, I see what you are saying. But it doesn't look super bad. What did Salama have to say about this?

I wanted to know the same thing. Apparently he hasn't said anything at all. Other than they offered her a revision, minus the anesthesialogist fee of something like $1,500....I don't see how any professional could look at this and tell her they don't owe her a completely complimentary revision. She's a lovely woman.

They don't really say anything... Its just 1500 (thats anaesthesia + ambulatory fees). What I liked about my shape before was that I had good fat accentuating my waist. I don't want to lose more fat on my sides -- I want to gain fat so I can have something inbetween what I had before and whats there now. As far as the butt goes, besides the dents and mishapeness, it doesn't look "augmemted." It all sits very low, and now I think I could only go bigger if I wanted to get the look I want (jlo butt).

You had a beautiful shape before! I don;t think you should entrust the revision to Dr. Salama at all.
