Currently preparing a full tummy tuck, lipo of the flanks & breast lift w/ implant exchange on Feb. 21st, 2017. I'm on a journey to achieve my ultimate dream body by working hard and a little help from a scalpel & a pair of skilled hands! Until recently, my mind was made up to have my surgery abroad by Dr. Duran in the Dominican. No American Doctor seemed to be able to achieve what she could in terms of a perfect Barbie hourglass figure. It was also extremely appealing to be able to have ALL desired procedures done at once. Then, by chance alone, I stumbled upon a review for Dr. Salama. This particular patient had results that met my expectations exactly! He was the ONLY American Doctor I had found that was able to achieve the same look that is signature in the Dominican, Colombia, Brazil, etc. I immediately contacted his team via RS. I heard back from
Cynthia within 24 hours. I can not express how helpful and wonderful Cynthia has been. She was patient with me and has spent many lengthy conversations with me. She explained to me Dr. Salama's esthetic and why it's not safe to do all of my desired procedures at once. After many conversations with Cynthia and my family, I made the decision to place a deposit and set a surgery date with De. Salama. There is so much relief in knowing that I have found a surgeon I trust esthetically in the states. Surgery is always a risk, but I have significantly reduced that risk by deciding to go with Dr. Salama. For the next 5 months, I'll be doing my part to ensure I absolutely maximize my results of the mommy makeover with a ketogenic diet & aggressive gym sessions. I'm down over 70 lbs from my highest and intend to be down another 30-40 lbs before surgery. I look forward to documenting my plastics journey here and hopefully con wrong with other women on the same journey! Xoxo

Traveling Alone?

User Avatar

Has anyone else traveled and recovered alone? I don't have to but I kind of want to. I don't want to have to ask anyone else to give up 10 days of work & life to watch me sleep off recovery! My husband can't stay the entire time due to his business but wanted to be there the first few days. But I'm wondering if that's even necessary?? I'll be staying in a Recovery House so there's not much I need from him other than moral support. If I can swing this alone, I think I'd like to. I think it would be kind of empowering! Thoughts?

I think you'll be fine at the recovery house recovering however trying to travel alone with luggage will be the difficult part and waking hunched over for a good 4-6 weeks, but some women are up right by 3 weeks. It really depends on how you heal from surgeries.

I have my surgery in 2 weeks with him. Tummm tuck and breast lift and implants. I need to get off of here because I was so excited and now getting nervous. Salama did my bbl 4 yrs ago l. I had a tt done with Cortes in Houston and he did an awful job so back to Salama to fix me up.

It went good. It's been a rough recovery but I know it'll be all well worth it. The 1st 10 days were really rough.
