Dr Salzhauer Post op - Lipo and scar revision (no BBL)

ORIGINAL POST

Hi everyone I have been stalking this website for...

Hi everyone I have been stalking this website for a while and whilst it's been so helpful and informative it's also made this a really difficult decision for me!

I am 28 years old, 5'3" 155lbs had 2 kids, had a TT, BA and Lipo done 7 years ago after my first child and then had a c section 2 years ago. My TT scar has been revised THREE times and never healed properly :(

Anyway since my 2nd pregnancy I developed excess fat on my back, flanks and waist and I have lost my curvy shape. I have a pretty big butt anyway but I think it's a bit asymmetrical and just not a good shape right now.

After all my research I am having a lot of trouble deciding whether to go to Miami (Probably Dr Salzhauer) or Spain (Dr Aslani). Miami will be a bit more expensive and what worries me is that the flight back is longer and that I can't just pop back to Miami post op for any revisions or check ups as I could with Spain. But at the end of the day I only ever want to do this once and need to get it right first time. Sorry for rambling on but I would really appreciate it if anyone with experience of BBL's with Dr Salz or Dr Aslani could offer their opinion. Or anyone from UK that has had a bbl in Miami I would be grateful if you could let me know about your experience esp being on your own and the flight back? I am hoping to get the surgery in March 2015. Thanks!

Welcome and thanks for sharing your journey with us!

We have a BBL forum with lots of information such as: a surgical calendar, travel buddies, preparation information, etc. You can find a lot of support in there from the other girls. We also have a good amount of BBL Guides to help with preparation.

If you're looking for a doctor, you can use the Find a Doctor tool. Just choose your country/city/state and then BBL. It will then bring up a list of board certified BBL surgeons in the area you're looking.

You can also read all of Dr. Aslani's reviews, here and all of Dr. Salzhauer's reviews, here.

Good luck and please do keep us updated with your progress.

If they add fat in the hip area make sure to really take care of it bc most of mine went away bc I slept on my sides right away. There is not a lot of blood supply so just sleep on your tummy.

Omg you remind me so much of me. I, too, had a TT after baby number 1.... Then had a baby 2 yrs ago & now searching for the right doctor. My butt has always been big too but after baby number 2 my body needs some fixing. I think u look great overall. And Dr Miami did a great job revising your scar. Thank u for sharing your story. :)

OMG I put my deposit down for Dr Salzhauer!!

You girls would not believe how much RS research I have been doing to choose a doctor. I have been back and forth even about the whole bbl procedure or whether to just have lipo but i have finally done it - I've made a decision to go with my original gut instinct of a BBL and lipo to arms, thighs and chin with Dr Salzhauer. During our facetime consultation he seemed to really get what I was saying and he is the only surgeon who actually took the time to speak to me personally. I have just put down the $1000 deposit. I will be travelling from the UK to Miami by myself, my sx date is 17th March so I will be out there from 16-26th March, I am gonna miss my babies and hubby so much :( But I know it's gonna be worth it. I am currently booking my stay at Moni's recovery house which I have heard great things about so now it's just a waiting game. I think I am gonna try and stay off the RS reviews so I don't doubt my choice in surgeon as the deposit is non-refundable!! Any help or tips for preparing for my bbl and what to take with me would be most welcome :) Will keep you updated ladies as I know how helpful this site has been for me so far

Booked my flights & told my hubby truth!

Curvesfordayz
So I double checked with Arianny at Dr Salz's office that my date of 17th March is definite and then went ahead and booked my flights which are non-refundable. So I fly from London to miami on 16th march and return on 28th March First class. The first class ticket was so much more expensive but I think it will be worth it so I will be able to lie down most of the way.

So I only told my hubby I was getting Lipo as (for some reason!) he loves my booty and I was worried he would say no if I told him my plans. So anyhow he brought up with me that he had seen a message about bbl that I left in my inbox and asked if that was what I was planning on doing. So basically I confessed all and was crying my eyes out and it turns out he was so supportive about it! I couldn't believe it, he said if that's what I really want he will support me. So now I have a weight off my mind coz I was so worried about how he would react.

Lastly, I am booked in with Moni from 16-26th March and paid my deposit but have not been able to get through to her for the last week, starting to get a bit worried! The last 2 days I have booked into a b&b room I found on airbnb which looks good and was cheap.

Will keep you girls updated and will also be uploading some wish pics soon x

I just had surgery yesterday, I'm not going to sugar coded it is painful and uncomfortable for the first 24 hrs. I have only taken pain meds once, so it is tolerable. Dr Salz, Arianny and the entire staff are AMAZING! You are in great hands! The nurse came to see me this morning, bathed me and changed my garment to a smaller one, she too was sweet. Good luck with your surgery but don't stress it because we made the right choice! I can inbox you pictures once I'm able to stand up without the garment.

Thank you hun :) can I ask where you are staying post op? Are you on your own? Hope your recovery goes smoothly x

I rented a condo called casa Blanca right on Miami beach which is 15 minutes from the clinic. You need some one with you at all times. I get up and walk but when I do it for long I get lightheaded. So please have someone. Ask Arianny to give you the number of a very sweet lady name Liz, if you don't have anyone. Im an out of Towner too, but Ms. Liz is adorable. Also don't but anything but mes/large sweat pants cause that's the only comfortable thing one can wear lol plus the butt won fit. The clínic gives u everything u need so don't go crazy buying things. Just what's on the list Arianny sends.
January 6, 2015
*buy, medium lol I'm still drugged up I guess haha
January 7, 2015
Thanks, do you happen to have an email address for Liz please?
January 7, 2015
No, Arianny recommended her to me, so ask her for her info. I spoke to her over the phone but I don't think I saved the number...sorry
