I had my first BBL done in 2012 with Dr.Salama. He changed my life! He is an absolute artist with his work. I went from 40 inches on my hips to a full 45 inches after surgery and stayed that way. I made sure to eat and maintain the transferred fat. I decided to go for round two after completing nursing school where I gained over 20lb and abnormalities became more prominent. im at a full 47 inches around my hips. Ao i just want to improve the shape and fix the abnormailities. So here I am! Another gift to myself. I have my pre-op pics posted. Soon to come are my post op. Round 2 here we go!
Post op. Day 1
So I've read reviews where girls say the second BBL is not nearly as bad as the 1st BBL... ummm noooo. Lol it's absolute hell. At least for me it is. The pain and stiffness, the drains that were put in again, the getting up every two hours, my bed looks like a mascre happened... it's just as bad, maybe worse because I bled so much. But every hour gets better and that's how I'm taking it right now....
Tips and tricks for newbies:
Get a cup to pee in. A cup that will fit snug around the entire vulva. The pee hole in this suit is really small and if you don't use a cup you might wet yourself. Its easier if you stand up and pee in the cup and then dump the pee in the toilet waaaaay easier.
Bring extra ace bandages and gauze if you're gonna lipo your arms. The leakage of serosangenous fluid is constant and I'm a mess right now.
Extra compression stockings would be great right about now too.
Sponge bath supplies came in handy for down there.
Ask for extra sheets and towels in your hotel room and keep stocked in your room before you get your surgery.
Take your pain meds before they're due. Don't wait for the pain to hit otherwise you'll be in tears.
Make sure your room has a microwave and a fridge. Eat protein rich foods every 2 hours when you get up to walk. Its the protein that will aide on rapid healing. Also healthy carbs. Bananas are great because they have K+ which will aide in blood coagulation and minimize bleeding.
That's all I can think of for now...
Didn't take pics today. Not even worth it or valuable to anyone reading this. Just know that they stuffed me full of foam and gauze and I look 3x the size I really am. No significant bruising and my ass is the size of Texas right now with all the swelling. And I can't bend down cuz they stuffed me so much. Cant wait to change this suit I'm wearing.

Day 2-3 post op
Day 2 was better. Still did nothing but sleep eat and take meds. took my 1st shower after the dressing Change. It wasn't as brutal as I thought it would be. Took some pics. My ass is huge. And Salama did an amazing job at contouring my body and giving me the curves I asked for. Day 3 was so much better. Didn't need percocets or the anti nausea meds today. Mostly ate and slept. My shower was heaven today. Maybe I'll take a walk outside tonight. One thing though I have to mention is the tape that was on my butt. Salama did some lipo on my lower butt cheeks to get rid of some droopiness I had and I had to have the foam taped to that part of my butt. when I went to remove the tape it took my skin off right with it! Very painful and the scar is gonna be ugly. :/ so make sure you guys walk with oil to remove any tape from the skin, which is so fragile after this procedure. My blood drainage isn't as much as it was before. But I'm still thirsty and hungry all the time. so far so good. Besides the tape incident.

He's amazing! He takes his time and really knows his work. He's an expert at what he does and has a great sense of humor too. Very professional, and his team members are just as great. Couldn't ask for better.
