Does anyone know when will this TT pain go away???

$1
I'm 2 days Post-Op and my lower back is killing me. Ive been taking Pentoxifylline for my blood flow and also Cephalexin 500mg (Antibiotic). Ive been sleeping side to side and also receiving back massages from my honey for my lower back. It feels good and also painful at the same time... Can someone give me an idea of a timeframe on when this will go away?

After many months of research I came across Dr. Salama and love his results with women on Realself. At my very first encounter at EPS I can only say great things about the entire staff that work there from Cynthia, Nomi, Evelyn,Karen, Nancy,etc and the best massage therapist for me Ceila. They are all very warm and helpful. Dr Salama himself explained the best after care procedures to follow after surgery to achieve best results. He took his time and answered all my questions. I'm so happy I made the right choice choosing the BUTT GOD himself Dr Salama as my surgeon. I have no regrets whats so ever. I love the results and I now have curves. It was well worth the money.

Aw :( sorry you feeling that way ma! My friend had one done Last year and she said about 1week and it started getting better for her. I hope you feel better
Thank You, I'm 5 day Post-Op and i'm feeling better. My lower back and where the drains are located is where i feel pain. Other then that I'm feeling better.
Thank god ! At least your doing better glad of that
I have a TT and a revision also. Girl I didn't have pain. I was just uncomfortable and very tight. This bbl hurt worse than a TT. but everyone is different. I have a c section and that hurt so bad!! Just make sure you REST and don't lift and don't even think about going to the gym. So many girls do way to much after these type of surgeries. A TT is the most invasive and risky surgery a woman can have. Just rest.
So So true. I'm 1 week post and I feel way better then before. I still have pain in my lower back...

Day 2 PostOp Full TT, Muscle repair, Lipo to arms and inner thighs and Mini BBL.......

Aug 12 I go to visit Dr Salama. I went in thinking I was going for a Mini TT and Mini BBL. After he examined me I was told I needed a Full TT and some muscle repair. In order for the Dr to get fat for my BBL he hap to lipo my arms and inner thighs. Surgery went well. The first day I spent the day in bed with extreme pain to my lower back but no swelling. Its day 2 post op and i'm able to walk a bit and get out of bed. The worst part of this procedure is the pain to my lower back and some burning where the drains are at. In 2 weeks i'm able to get massages in the BBL area. 3 weeks from my date I'm able to remove the current tape and add the new tape thats more durable and waterproof. Dr Salama advised me that I should see a final result in 6 Months....

please keep us posted
I'm 3 days Post Op and I'm able to stand and walk around with pain in my lower back.
hey girl, which recovery house are your staying at? What is the price? I am doing a revision soon as well
Looking through your profile you look awesome. My husband (My caretaker) rented a condo apt down the road from Dr Salama Surgery center on Golden Isles Dr through Airbnb.com. Good luck on your revision. I was only able to add 400cc on each side.
How much did he charge you for the revision and TT? I have a feeling I'm going to need a TT now because I have so much loose skin on my stomach from the lipo and I never had it before. I'm def going to need a revision to fill in big dents on my butt as wer
*as well. I'm scared to find out how much he charges for the revision :( the first round cost me $12k :0
EPS charged me 9K.... Full TT,Mini BBL and Lipo on arms/thighs.... He couldn't lipo my tummy because its all scar tissue/NO Fat. If you going for a TT be prepared its nothing like a BBL....
He also did muscle repair and was only able to fit 400ccs on each cheek.
Wait this is your second round with him and he charged you $9k?! So revisions aren't discounted at all?! I wish I never did this.
You read it right! Revisions are 10%..... Full TT with muscle repair was the most. Just be aware when you go for your Revision, The fat will be taken out from your Arm/Thighs and they charge for that. The Dr couldn't take fat again from my tummy area. Its considered scare tissue not fat. He didn't want to go in again.
Do you mean 10% off or 10% of the original cost? Thanks for the info! I don't think I have any fat left on my stomach any way, just skin. I def have back fat and thigh fat left tho!
10% off your original cost of what you payed. You can try to talk them down. I tried there was no budging on the price. You can always try.

Thank You, This TT is a [RS bleep]. I rather do 10 BBLs instead.
Lol lol wow don't scare me now lol I'll have to do one too
My pain is not the incision. Its my lower back. Its stiff and burns.... SMH!!!!
Oh man I feel u I've had horrible back pain before that's the worst can't imagine u prob can't even stretch :(
I'm getting a bit better with my back. Now the incisions are starting to burn....lol I was told after the 5th day I can stretch....
OMGGGG ... can't believe we're doing this crap again lol
Good luck mami .. 2nd round (sometimes) is tough cuz of scar tissue .. lets hope that's not the case with you. I'm back on the table Sept 3rd O.O
I had a full TT, lipo on the arms and inner thighs... I'm in so much pain. Dr Salama also added some CCs but dont know how much.... Good Luck to you Girl!
He also did Muscle repair.
I did have some skin sag due to aggressive lipo in my tummy area. I have photos of before and after... BBL came out good but i wasnt happy with the stomach area.
I did have some loose skin due to aggressive lipo. check out my before and after for a better idea.
