Hi ladies!!! I finally got my revision done by Dr. Blinski! He was able to fix all my fibrosis, neurotic fat deposits, and asymmetry. He had to work on me for a whopping 4.5 hours... but he did it and I'm so happy!!! I'm going to create a separate review for my journey with him and post more pictures there, but for those who have been following me for years, I just wanted to give you an update!

I'm so happy for you. Cant wait to see your results. Everyday I wonder when I'm going to fix mine. I have so many lumps and irregularities from salama. I've been looking into dowbak. I really cant afford to make a mistake with the wrong surgeon this time. Would love to go to Duran
February 21, 2019
Please don't go to dowbak. He botched girls left and right and almost killed a girl just the other day. Blinski regularly fixes botch victims from Salama and Dowbak among others....
I love Duran but she doesn't like to do revision work. She won't do any Lipo at all on the butt to shape it better, so I had to turn her away.
I posted more pics on a separate thread (I just started it today) if you'd like to track my progress and see if Blinski might be a good option for you too!

Yes. It might be pending review since it's brand new. It should be up by tomorrow though.

I'll definitely check it out. Thanks again. So happy you love your results. I know what it feels like to go through the pain, money, and time off from work to not be happy and confident with how your body looks. Best of luck recovering

You know what I dm'd blinski arounda month ago and sent him pics and he tried to persuade me to use fillers. I sent him pics and everything but he said he couldnt tell how bad I was. I think my pics definitely show the irregularities. Of course in person it's more obvious.
February 21, 2019
Are you able to see him in person so he can assess further? He will not do a surgery if he truly feels he can fix it without you going under the knife. He's one of the few docs out there that just likes to help people, not snatch up all their money.

That's what he said but the fillers are really expensive and not permanent. I live in NY so it isnt convenient to go in for a consultation. He suggested I retake pics by someone other than myself. Believe it or not I'm ashamed to even have my fiance take pics because if how it looks. I have even told my friends.
February 21, 2019
I understand that completely. I took a lamp in my bathroom and then propped up my phone against a bottle on the counter to take pictures of me on a timer (I stood in the shower stall) for the same reason. You might be able to do something like that to get better pics for him without needing someone else to do it. I sent pics to him first and he told me that he would do his best to fix me but he couldn't make any promises. That freaked me out at first because in my mind, I wanted absolutes and guarentees, so I blew him off for an entire year.... then finally decided I would go down to Miami and see him in person so that he could fully assess me. I live a lot closer though (Tampa). In the end, if you know that you need revision (and I'm sure you're right since you too went to Salama), take a look at some of the girls he has fixed recently on his IG besides me. Blinski asks every girl to put trust in him. 80% of his work is all revision, and he doesn't pay for any promotion. His business is built on word of mouth. Salama cranks out 10 girls a day, Blinski only does 2 girls per day, sometimes 1, so that he can really take his time.
I spent 4 years of my life hating my body and having no self esteem, and you sound like you're in the same boat. I wish I had gone to him sooner.

I've been following your journey for so long and I'm so glad that you got a revision and are happy with your body! I would love to get a revision from Salama's work, but I don't have the money or time. Maybe one day. I will certainly check out Blinski though!
February 24, 2019
Hey girl I posted a separate thread for my updated results -- I put a bunch more pics there!! Blinski is going to retire later this year... I just took out an interest free credit card so that I could hurry up and get it over with lol.

Skin tightening

cedaray87
Saw this skin tightening option via Dr Ourian on Instagram. These are pretty impressive results. I can't imagine why this couldn't be used on the buttock... I really want Lipo and tightening (essentially a reduction). I do have a lot of asymmetry and dents to fix -- so fat transfer is unavoidable if I want to fix that, but when it comes to my saggy huge diaper ass I'm just exploring alternative options at this point because the droopyness is definitely the most critical thing to fix for now.

Hey girl I’m sorry you have been going through all of this. I read your review. I have seen some girls post pics that have bad infections and that doesn’t account for the ones that don’t post their stories. I have some dimpling from a bbl back from 2012 and I got a touch up with lipo in 2017 after a baby. And mainly lipo around my stomach back and had my hips brought in (they got wider after the baby). I mention the lipo touch up cause u mentioned lipo to try and fix your butt. I’m not sure if that will make it better or worse. The lipo I got last year helped tremendously in my stomach and hips for sure and with the lipo it brought my booty back up and looked perkier but the cellulite was still present. I have been looking at cellfina and also cavitation /ultrasound treatments for myself to smooth out my dimples in my butt and thighs. Over the years the cellulite stays and gets more visible regardless of how much lipo u get done. I know it may not fix the size of your butt - but maybe the ultrasound treatment can help with the smoothing look to your butt and shelf area. Regardless what u do I hope everything works out for u. I know we spend so much money on our bodies and when it doesn’t come out like it would it’s the worst outcome ever. Sorry again girl. :(

May 22, 2018
Please keep us updated I’m going to Mallol in August and I’ll m terrified I’ve heard the good the bad and ugly but for some reason I liked him when I did my consult he said I can quote you for this and that but added I will only do what I feel is best for you and if I can’t do it all I will refund you on the spot for what I can’t do and I’m a big girl who loves her thighs and double D breast I just want a tummy tuck and a rounder butt well I wish you luck

I highly discourage anyone getting a bbl from Dr. Salama. He ruined my body. My hips are so wide and my butt is full of dents. They want me to pay to get a revision and I decided to not go back to him. Will update my profile with pictures. I’d go to Dr. Miami if I had a choice to do over again. ( Dr. Salzhauer) also my lipo was terrible. He told me I didn’t need a tummy tuck but now I’m left with loose skin and lots of left over fat. Even his office staff agreed when I sent in pictures of all this. Just sad! Spent 10k to look worse than before. BEWARE!!!!!

Disfigured

cedaray87
Really hating myself today. I look freakish. So tired of shapewear to hide this. Also scared to get a 2nd big surgery... what if it gets worse... I can't date, I have no confidence. I'm just crying as I write this up. Have had numerous doctors tell me my saggy butt really can't be fixed with a skin excision that would leave me with a scar running the full underside of my butt cheek. My scars tend to Keloid. I feel heartbroken today.
Still thinking my best bet is going to Cabral since he has repaired other girls with the same issue with moderate improvement (at least they get evened up, because his symmetry skills are amazing)... but [RS bleep] that's so scary. I'm having a hard time committing to it, and an even harder time getting the time off from work.
Also, I can't believe how many botched Salama girls message me with support, but won't post their own photos. I know it's scary, in fact its humiliating, but please show others so that don't make the same mistake we did!!!
Oh, and look at my uneven scars. They are super wide apart and placed so awful. I can't hide them with any normal bathing suit bottoms -- no matter where I place the band, one scar is always exposed. Fml!!!!! I want to try having them cut out completely and re-sown to see if I can reduce them to a hairline scar (prayers to God that they don't keloid).

Hi, you don’t look noticeably uneven from the frontal view. It almost looks like one side didn’t accept some fat, but it’s not extremely noticeable. Have you checked into Colombia doctors? I’ve been checking some of them out, they have AMAZING before/after pics.
March 12, 2018
Nah he lipoed me like this...I didnt have any fat transferred to my sides actually.. and people who knew how I looked before always seem to make it a point to tell me how uneven I am and that I should sue... but I digress...
I have been looking at Plazas. I'm not too familiar with the big names over there. Who are you looking at that is doing good work though?
March 12, 2018
Wow really? No fat transfer to hips? Ok in Colombia there are a few I’m looking at: macros petro, Medelli, and Fernando Ortega. I found them on Instagram and looked up their websites. I’m still fully researching them.
March 12, 2018
Sorry: Miguel angel builes Quintero. Also look up @asesorescirugiasmedellin
March 13, 2018
Nope... if I push in on my hips with my finger I've got max <0.5 inch of fat!! I already had hips so didn't want to be wider. In some places it feels like straight bone and hurts to press on even lightly in certain spots.
Anyway, I'll look those up. Check out plazas too. He is "leplaztique" on IG. Ty for the names!!
March 13, 2018
Thanks I looked him up too.

Go to Dr.campos, have you tried other florida dr's? Those Dr's are lying. all you need is liposuction of the lower butt and reinsertion of fat.
User Avatar
March 14, 2018
Word of advice, loose weight for the best result. Most of these dr's to just take your money.
March 14, 2018
I've tried losing weight but it just droops more and more... I agree I think most these docs are full of [RS bleep]!!! I will look up Campos. Did you / do you know someone who had the same issue?
