Week two

WORTH IT$8,000
Hey everyone! I promise I'll get some photos up without the garment ASAP but I'm still loving the results. Went down another faja size this week to L and will probably switch to a Medium in the next couple of days. Also found out I had 1600 CC's injected! Definitely didn't expect such a high number, but it looks great which is the most important factor :)

Salama is one of the kindest, down-to-earth doctors you will find. He really takes the time to talk you through the operation and doesn't rush you at all. I was even more impressed that he personally came in by himself on Saturday to review all the patients he had operated on the day before. It's rare you see a doctor with such skill and still such humility. I can't thank Salama and the team at Elite enough!

One week mark

So it's now been just over one week since the surgery. I've been pretty lucky with the recovery so far. No nausea or vommitting, I was walking around downtown Miami by Day 2, and more or less self-sufficient by Day 5.

In addition to having a great surgeon, I think the exercise I did beforehand really came in handy. I recommended running 2-3 miles a day in the weeks before and definitely work on those arm weights (in retrospect I could have done even more here).

It also helps having a great recovery house in the first few days, I stayed with Mayda & Olga (skyrecoveryhouse.com) and they took amazing care of me. Literally. They bathed me, fed me constantly, checked on me throughout the night.

I'll try to post my list of preparation items soon as well as tips on surviving the flight home.

You look amazing!
Thank you!
Love your results! What was your starting weight?
Thanks! About 165 and I'm 5'9"
You look amazing! How many days did you stay at the recovery house? Also was it affordable I'm looking for a recovery house. Thanks
Hey! I was at the recovery house for only 6 nights- but honestly I had an amazing recovery and was walking all around downtown Miami on my own by day 3. Most girls do 8-10 days. I stayed with Mayda in Brickwell who I believe has a website now- skyrecoveryhouse.com
nice!!!!!! he did yours well!
Wow ! amazing! Your looking good! Can't wait to see your updated results! Happy healing!

After years of being unhappy with my body (and general lack of curves/femininity), I begun researching the BBL procedure and where to have it done. I could not have made a better decision after going with Salama! Especially after staying with girls who'd tried other doctors at Vanity, Spectrum, etc.
