I am still itchy, still tender and numb in spots. No visit from fluff fairy either, therefore still flat at 40 inches which was my preoperative measurements. Still very pissed at the post op treatment I have received which is none. I have attempted to contact him on three occasion via 2 methods and still nothing. I did get an email from Nomie 2 wks ago assuring me he would get the message and reply and of course ......nothing. This forces me to look elsewhere for any future surgeries. I am glad nothing really serious happened although I did have an infected suture site. Was this surgery worth it; I would say not. I could have put that hard earned money to a much better use or better yet given it to a more thankful surgeon who cares about their patients before and after. So very dissapointed.

Even though you are not happy with the size, the shape looks pretty good. I did read in one of your earlier posts that you were applying heat to your buttocks. My surgeon instructed me to not do that because both heat and cold will disrupt the grafting process. Applying heat improves circulation of well established blood vessels.
Light heat and only after 2 wks, not immediate during the inflammatory process. I did lose an inch with the closed in garment but the said it was OK to switch after 2 wks. It was well past that.

8 week

8 weeks tomorrow. I'm really upset because I went down to a small butt in garment for two days only and lost an inch. So I'm at 40 right now. I'm essentially where I was pre surgery. As of today I think this weekend I lost a little more because I took a road trip and Sat more than usual, even though I'm past 6 weeks. I don't think the fat is dead just compressed so maybe if I feed it it will grow. My abd won't go down below 30 either. I think I need muscle repair with a tummy tuck plus he wasn't aggressive with lipo because I needed a tummy tuck so that adds to it also. Right now I'm not happy at all. But it is what it is

Very sorry to hear this. May be consider getting the TT with Salama and then hopefully having enough fat for a revision? Check out Back2me45....Salama did her TT (Schulman did her BBL). Dr. Schulman sucked her tummy dry so she didn't have enough for adding to the booty....but she absolutely did not need it (booty a big ole phatty :-). I ended up going back for a mini tuck and BR...so happy I did it!
He did a beautiful TT on her....she was very pleased
thank you

6 weeks post op

Hello, tomorrow is actually my 6 weeks mark; not much has changed. I'm @ 41 inches. Last nite I slept without garment and woke up with my sides burning and feeling like my skin was stretching or something. So I'm back in my garment with foam and abd board today. I must say I am disappointed in Dr. SALAMA. He has yet to answer my email or text. I guess out of towers post op check up is not as important as new clients/money coming in. Anyway, hopefully in the next several weeks the fluff fairy will visit me.
