Ready for the Next Chapter in my New Body! - Miami, FL

Hello Ladies! I decided to document my story in hopes that I will be helpful to someone as many of the ladies on realself have been helpful to me. I have been researching BBL for the last 3 years and now that I just turned 40 I am ready to get the body I have always wanted. I researched many doctors and had originally thought I would use a doctor here in Atlanta, so researched the doctors on the hit show ATL plastic and Dr. Jimerson. Dr. Jimerson has always been someone that I thought and still think is a rockstar in the BBL community but his prices are almost 5k more than what they charge in Miami. I also think his celebrity has affected his work because I haven't been that impressed with some of his work. With being said I did go to my consultation with him which was $100. I talked with my patient coordinator most of the time and Dr. J came in all of 5 minutes. He advised that I get multiple areas lipo'd and fat transferred to my hips. My total came to $13.5k. After doing more research and talking to a few people I started researching doctors in Miami. Dr. Miami was the first doctor I initially heard about however I didnt feel very welcomed when I called and he was booked until Spring of 2017 for anyone financing. I came upon Dr. Salama and I instantly fell in love with his work. He is a master at sculpting the body and giving that very natural look. On top of that his staff is AMAZING! My patient coordinator is Nancy and she has just been wonderful. I felt comfortable right away and paid my deposit to lock my date in. I am hoping to get an April date but for now May 9th is my surgery date. I am so excited and have been stalking realself and all of his work on a daily basis! I am now in the process of making sure I purchase EVERYTHING I will need and making a decision on my recovery house. I will keep everyone posted! I am looking for a surgery buddy so of anyone is having their surgery in May PLEASE let me know.

Hey ladies! I am scheduled for BBL surgery on May 9th with Dr. Salama but would love to switch to an early April date. Please let me know if anyone is interested in swapping or if you are rescheduling. I am so excited for my journey and I know it will be here before I know it. I have heard so many horror stories about recovery but if you ladies can get through it, I know that I can too! I will post before pics as I get closer to my date. See ya soon RS ladies!

Well my surgery is coming up on May 9th and I am getting more and more anxious and excited. I am ready for Dr. Salama to work his magic on me. I did my labs on March 9 so I am patiently waiting on my results. Hopefully it all goes well and I am cleared for surgery! As the surgery gets closer I will start to post more and put up some before pictures. My plan is to document my journey as thorough as I can so that my experience can be educational to all the patients after me.
Can anyone tell me who has had the BBL, what realistically do I need to purchase? I have a big list but I hear a lot of people say that they did not use half of things they bought. Please help? Any other Salama dolls or upcoming surgeries in May? I would love to hear from you.
