How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

3 month update
Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I wanted to give a brief 3 month update. Also, from here on out, I will try my best to do monthly updates.
I am down about 10 lbs from my surgery date 10/10/16. Overall, I'm satisfied with Dr. Salama's work however, I am very dissatisfied in the fact that his staff didn't follow up and check on me at all, especially being an out of town patient. Also, I feel like the placement of my nipples make my boobs look saggy (even though they aren't). I'm waiting for 6 mos post op to see if I will need a revision.
My lollipop incision scar looks amazing! You can barely notice it after 3 months but the incision under my breast is still really pink and large.
My TT incision hasn't faded much even after using both Dr. S scar cream and Skinmedica scar gel and it's still a little sore especially around my hips.
I've been working out since 8 weeks post op but am still not able to do any ab exercises and feels extremely uncomfortable when I try to.

Removal of skin staplers :/
So I noticed something white coming from a spot on my TT incision site. I immediately texted Dr. Salama and he told me it was a skin stapler and remove it with a pair of tweezers. Boy did it take some time to wiggle it out. It definitely didn't help that I'm extremely squimish to stuff like that so needless to say I was pretty nauseous getting it out. A few days later I noticed another one was surfacing so I pulled it out as well. I also had a few splitting sutures (looked like clear fishing wire) coming from my belly button and under breast. I took the advice from Texasmade and Nomie (nurse from Dr.S office) and removed those this morning by pulling on the suture with tweezers and clipping under 1 side of the knot (I used finger nail clippers because I'm not that skilled to trust myself with a knife ;)
It was actually pretty easy to do. I suggest doing this sooner than later if you notice the sutures as your skin will not heal with splitting sutures coming out.
