New pic 3yr post DETAILED REVIEW
WORTH IT$6,200
This is to give you a REAL idea of the short and long term effects of getting this type of procedure. it's been 3 years since I've had my bbl so I feel that I can give an honest and realistic review at this point.
Also... This is to address what some have called inconsistencies in the previous review of my cosmetic procedure.
1) Receiving cosmetic surgery is a very emotional process. it takes some of us six months to a year to save up enough money to afford a procedure that we feel will improve our body. My previous review reflects what was a very emotional process for me
--- first I was excited because I had made this investment in myself
--- then I went through a phase of buyers remorse feeling guilty that I had spent so much money on something that most would consider frivolous.
--- I felt anxious because after spending so much money I wanted to see the results immediately... I wanted to look in the mirror and see what I had envisioned from the girls in magazines and on TV.
--- I felt annoyed and disappointed because I didn't believe that I looked as good as I had anticipated. I didn't feel that I looked like my "wish pics"
--- then I looked at my before pictures and after pictures and really analyzed the difference between the two. I came to the conclusion that although I did not look like the girls in my "wish pics" my body had still changed tremendously, and there was a significant improvement on my silhouette and my surgeon did deliver exactly what he promised.
------ this is where I tell everyone to be realistic! the chances of you looking like a person in your wish pic is slim to none. first of all we are in the age of technology there is a very good chance the pictures could have been altered which means that the image is not realistic it is not feasible through surgery or anything other than Photoshop. On the flip side if your wish pic person was not photoshopped, you must still consider that her body and your body is not the same. even if she has had cosmetic surgery her body responded in a way that yielded those results your body may not respond to surgery in the same way which means your results will not match hers because your body is different from hers. Ultimately I'm saying be realistic or you will be disappointed.
2) consider the aftermath of your surgery decision. The average woman has a difference of 10 inches between her waist and hips now after my surgery I have a 16.5 difference between my waist and hips (hips 45.5 - waist 29= 16.5). And if you gain weight your measurements will increase your waist will always be smaller than your hips however your butt will get bigger and bigger and frankly that [RS bleep] just isn't cute, so you must watch your weight very carefully or else your body will get out of hand and that is what I'm going through at the moment in terms of my weight gain. ( please note my weight gain has nothing to do with my surgery I have simply gained weight not on purpose it's just that life happens and now I'm dealing with trying to lose weight).
---- I made this point because you must understand that after surgery your body will be nothing like the average woman, it will be above average and that may sound cool in theory until you are walking down the street with your children/your mother/your friends/your boyfriend and people are stopping and pointing at you making rude or sexual comments about your body in front of your family and friends.
---- your new appearance may also make your spouse very insecure. Your new appearance will bring much more attention than you or your spouse are accustom to, and heaven only knows how you will react to having all of this extra attention. However you react your spouse will not like the fact that so many men will be coming on to you your spouse may not like that every time you all go somewhere people stop and stare or when you get up to walk to the bathroom people take pictures of you behind your back I promise I am NOT making any of these things up everything that I'm saying to you has happened to me.
3) think about your long term goals right now having a banging body with extraordinary measurements may seem fun but what happens when you walk into a job interview? It's very difficult to cover a 46 inch hip/butt. You can dress as conservative as you would like but your measurements are visible no matter what you do and when people see a certain body type first off it makes a lot of women feel intimidated and uncomfortable second it makes men think of something sexual which makes it very difficult for men or women to take you seriously because they all cannot see past your ass.
4) on another note many of you ladies have asked how does my body feel... it feels 100% natural. My body is soft and jiggles and does everything that it did before surgery nothing feels different there are absolutely no lumps or hard spots on my body. The downside is that my body is so soft that I have much more cellulite on my butt than I did before surgery. Also occasionally I have a sharp pain in my left butt cheek ????. I do not get this pain often and when it does happen it does not last long usually just a few seconds I'll feel a sharp pain and it happens randomly for no reason at all.
5) with all things said and done Dr Salama did give me what I paid for. I wanted to have a big butt and a small waist and he gave me exactly that. I will say that I do not regret having the procedure itself however I do regret requesting to have so much fat transferred. I would have liked more natural curves instead of the Niki minaj/k. Michelle body because let's be real they are celebrities they don't have to deal with the day-to-day things that us regular people have to deal with when looking this way.

So my whole comment did not go through smh. I remember your review when you were going to get the procedure so glad you're updating! We have very similar proportions including the height lol. Have you gained or lost any weight? How long did it take you to sit without the pillow in class? And yess hunny I would've been staring too lol. One of my wish pics for sure!

how do you feel about your results now? do you still have the lump issue?


November 13, 2015
Physically my body feels absolutely fine there are no lumps everything is absolutely soft no one would ever touch my body and think that it is not real but of course everyone questions if it's real just because the results are so exaggerated like my waist is so small and my hips are so big but everything feels 100% natural I wish there was a way to do a video with me jumping around so you guys can see that everything shakes and wiggles and lol everything else the one downside is the cellulite since my butt is now so big and everything has sauce and I have more cellulite now than I had before.
Now in terms of how I feel every now and then I have this sharp pain in my left butt cheek I don't really know how to explain it it does not happen often and it happens randomly like for no reason at all sometimes I have a sharp pain it does not last long and it does not happen often

As a graduate student, how much time do you think is necessary to recover after the surgery before you can be focused on your studies and classes?

August 10, 2015
I honestly can't say it all depends on your endurance and tolerance of pain. if you have a low tolerance for pain then you're going to be constantly proud of it because of the pain pills but if you have a high tolerance then you won't need the pain pills so much or you can take a week or pain pill like Tylenol 3 something Over the counter something other than the prescription meds that the doctor gives you that way your mind won't be cloudy when trying to study

Sooo typing from my cell the typos ugh I hope you understood what I was trying to say. If not feel free to inbox and I'll respond there

You should do a before and after pic side by side. I think it's great that you are sharing your result after some time. Some people wonder if it will hold up. How did you loose the 3 inches. I believe I read 46 inches before and you thought it was too big. So I don't know if it was purposeful or just with time. Thanks in Advance!

August 10, 2015
There's No volume loss my butt is still very full the only difference is that immediately after surgery my whole body was really hard And swollen now everything is soft I don't know if that has any effect on the measurements but other than fluid loss from my waist which resulted in my waist being smaller as time passed Nothing Has Changed

August 10, 2015
Ok, great! That is good to know that once the initial swelling went done, your results have stayed the same. Thanks again for the update.
July 23, 2015
BTW I love your results! I just got my bbl on Monday and the garment I wad given buckles at the crotch. I saw your garment and it was just a top do recommend that one? And how long did it take for the stiffness to leave so I can walk normal? I've read your review and you've been very insightful. One again in hope my butt looks somewhat lIke yours because right now it's wide and flat lol.

My garment did not buckle in the bottom it had a hole at the bottom which allows you to go to the restroom. most definitely where the full body garment that the doctor advises after surgery the waist shaper that you see at the top of my page is what I wore in addition to my full body garment. I put that waist shaper literally on top of the full body garment which helps with core strength because the waist shaper is very firm so it forces your body to stand up straight and relieve the pressure you feel from all the fluids as a result of lipo

July 23, 2015
Did you lose a lot?



November 13, 2015
46 was with all of the swelling and fluid. Now my body has "settled". From 46 to 43.5 may sound like I've lost something but I assure you even Dr. Salama was amazed at how much my body has retained. Do the math on it. 3.5 difference in 3 years is really unheard of with this procedure. Also keep in mind that I did go to Salama to take away some fat in certain areas to give my body a more natural shape its all listed above in my second procedure
