Team Salama BBL post- op with pics

Hi Ladies! Im at the very beginning of my BBL journey. I live in San Diego and have a friend with a home in Miami, so those places would be ideal. So far, the only Dr's Im seriously considering are Jimerson and Cortes. I am shocked at how hard it is to find a surgeon who does aggressive lipo with body sculpting. I feel like most just "do lipo" to harvest the fat... but I feel like Jimerson (and Cortes, to a slightly lesser degree) are true artists. Im fairly boxy with a flat booty and the small waist and rounded hips are just as important to me as a bubbly. heart shaped butt. Jimerson is really pricey as it is ($9800 for butt and lipo and $1100 to ad hips - cash price) Factor in aftercare, lodging and all of that and it's up in the "am I crazy?" amount of money lol If I stayed West Coast or Miami, I could save on lodging and aftercare, which will be probably $1500-2000. Help, ladies!!!! Who am I missing that is just awesome? So excited to be here!

I will post some before pics of me in a day or two!
Some are more natural and conservative and labeled my "safe" wishes.

I had looked at Salama before I picked my Wish pics and Dr. J seemed so much more extreme with his lipo and the bodies seemed more "sculpted"... like statues! Now that I have picked my Wish pics and can compare what I want to their before and after pics, Salama is definitely in the running! So many pros and cons for each that it is making it super hard to decide. lol
I guess I'll just chat with you ladies and read a million reviews :) Would love any input. So new here!
Does anyone know if Salama has a fast track deal like Dr. J if you are paid in full? Waiting a year is sucky. Im looking at a hopeful date of Feb-Mar 2014 so that I can be healed with most (if not all) swelling down by the time my Husband comes home from Afghanistan in June 2014.

Spoke with Cynthia today and she is soooo nice. She sent me an email with info, pricing and an email address to send pics. Salama will consult with me over email, since I am in California. I had to go to an event at my son's school (I have an 8 year old) and had just returned home, taken pics and was about to send the email when she called. She said that, after some digging, she was able to find a surgery date for feb 28!! That would be so perfect! I could be 3 months post op and out of my garments and crap by the time hubby returns home from Afghanistan! Man, is he gonna be excited lol.
So, hopefully I will hear back from Dr. Salama tomorrow. I'm still scouring the boards and reviews and pics here. Hubby will only pay for this once, so it needs to be perfect the first time! It's so scary putting that kind of faith in someone who you don't know.

Also, thanks to the ladies who responded! Yily scares me. She has some ammmmazing results, but some of the bad reviews she has are really scary. I don't speak Spanish and DR is a long way from home. I kinnnnda considered Mexico, but only because it is 30 mins away. After I thought about it more, I decided I wanted to stay in the states, for various reasons.

Annnyway, I'm so glad I actually posted something instead of remaining a lurker! It's nice to interact with you girls, since I haven't really told family or friends and they probably wouldn't get it anyway haha. Here are my before pics that I just took. Boy, you don't realize how different your body looks than all these after pics until you take the sad before pics! Haha I'll post updated before pics right before surgery. :)
