Want to book with Dr. S but afraid that he will not give me the curves Dr. M will. Any suggestions?

I hear people saying Dr. M is the butt doctor but I just dont see it. If you want a conservative booty then go to Dr. M but if you want a big shelf booty then go to Dr. S any other doctor. But keep in mind Dr. S is booked all the way til April 2013.

A TT is a huge procedure. Is it safe to have a BBL and TT done at the same time? Have you seen reviews from women who had both done at the same time?

Thats all Dr. Cardenas does. Most American docs wont do it because they dont want to turn you over on your butt to do your tummy or the other way around. But most Mexican doctors will and Dr. Cardenas is the best at doing it.

But remeber if you get a tt it is taking alot fo fat that can be going to your booty and if you get a tt they wont lipo your abdomen because it can be deadly by getting to close to certain veins or something like that.

Honestly looking at your pic you don't need TT think lipo will fix the flanks area and you would be better off getting stretch mark treatments to help diminish and fade lines.

you mentioned you wanted the TT because you wanted the stretchmarks to be gone. When you tell the Dr's that's why you want a TT did they say that they can gurantee that marks will be done. Cause think about it u will be stuck with visible stretch marks and a long line around your waist you will never be able to get ride of. I am not trying to change your mind on the procedure I just wont to make sure you are aware of all the other things that may come up.

hey, to honest i know ALL my stretch marks won't be gone but from what i have gathered they take most of the skin under the belly button away and that is literally where all my stretch marks are i've seen alot of girls get it done and their stretch marks where mine's are is gone so i'd be cool with that i know that all ain't going to be gone though. from what i've seen the mexican doctors do their tummy tuck's in such a way i could get all my stretch marks gone but it depends on how high they go on my side's hopefully just enough to get them!!

Cardenas does really good ETT, where she cut basically almost all around from side to side. If anyone can get those stretch marks she could. Look at her you tube tt video.

if you was getting a ett and bbl what you be more of your main concern? because from what i've seen cardenas booties aren't the projection i want even though she is fabulous at the tt so i'm kind of confused!

Just a BBL over here and maybe a breast reduction some time in the future. I am hating the way the scars look though.

thanks hun! right back at ya :-)

September 7, 2012
yeah the scars are a pain you've really got to know what you want before u decide to have something that will leave you with scar's! i want to get a breast lift w/implants but that's at a later date it all depends on how i feel about my tt scar tbh but yeah the scar's are alot to get used to! who you looking to go with and when?

The scars suck no matter what procedure you get done. A few years back I had to have surgery to remove a lipoma (non cancerous lump the size of an egg on my lower rib area. I wasn't informed of the size of the scar that it would leave after 5 years I have gotten use to it. Kinda forget it's there. For the breast reduction I have no clue for Dr. but with the BBL I am team Jimerson all day. He practices out of GA.

yeah his result's look good! wasn't too keen on his tts though that's why he wasn't on the list i originally wanted my sx in america but i genuinely think that mx is the best for bbl & tts together!

I would focus on the bbl cus I want a shape and a butt. I know with a bbl my stomach will be flat but probably not flat flat and I am ok with that because I might have more kids. But if I was done with having kids yes I would get them both. You caught do whats best for you, you want a shape and booty or a new tummy and no butt, or a knew shape and butt then a tt later. You can have it all girl, one body part at a time.

A lot of doctors does TT with BBL in the USA, as a matter of fact, I was offered that several times, but I chose not to because that TT is no joke man.

I guess some will and some wont cus Cardenas told me I needed one but I dont need it bad enough to do it now and other docs said nothing about it but said if I wanted one, I have to wait til I heeled from the bbl and gain some more weight.

Onlly because with a TT you are bent over and it is hard to be bent over from a TT when you cant even sit from a BBL, so if you get both you cant sit or lay on your tummy, so basically you'll be sleeping standing up or should I say bent over. lol

I see what you are saying. Some people need and some dont. If you have a very large stomach and it hangs, then you might need one. Some doctors say it is always a risk with surgery so they prefer to do everything all at once.

Yes my dear, I know all about the TT because I have had one before and it is worse pain in the world. However, I slept on my stomach after a week with the TT. I had a BA and BBL at the same time and I had to sleep on my side for 3 months and that was no fun. If I had to do it again, I would do them separately.

yup, I am getting more done. Its on my blog. I will be having a revision on January 8th, 2013. I need my chin done too lol lol. They say it is addicting and I think everyone is right. But I think after I get this revision done, I will be chilling for a while and then back for more again. lol lol. Is this your first rodeo? The first doctor that did my TT, his specialty was ophthalmology can you believe that? And I didnt find out until after he did the surgery too. Needless to say, the did a f$$%@ job on me. I thought about reporting him to the AMA but I saw that his license was just reinstated at the time. So I let it go

Yes girl it is my first rodeo and I am so excited. Ive done my research and im so ready to feel the soreness or what ever comes with it. Im sorry he messed you up. I talked about that in one of my updates. These docs are tryna make more money so they get trained by someone and then call them selves surgeons smh Its best their certified as plastic surgeons and not cosmetic.

Yes, learn my lesson, I do my research now and make sure that they are certified. But overall I am kinda happy with my booty, I just need a little more taken off my sides and stomach etc. After this revision I will be fine tho

I want scar revision on a scar on my arm, a tummy tuck if I have no more kids by 35, a breast lift, and of course the bbl and maby a chin lift ima try to lose that from working out and toning my body.

which Dr did you decided at first, and why did you change your mind? I dont wanna sound like im interrogating you but I am still undecided about which Dr to chose.
babylucy88
September 21, 2012
i chose dr.salama at first but he stopped doing tt and bbls together but what happened was i started researching even deeper and came across dr.campos on mmh and to be honest i'm soooo glad i never went with salama for the fact that his tt's are not as good as dr.campos/cardenas i think those two definitely have the best tt scar's i've seen!! it depends on what you want because i want a tt and bbl i needed to choose someone with consistent good review's on those two procedure's and that was dr.campos for me! if i was just getting a bbl i prob would choose dr.salama because he is the best at bbl.

babylucy88July 30, 2012
hi girls! i'm just planning everything and realised i'm not sure how long to stay in the clubmed recovery house, what do you think? i'm still contemplating on going with either campos or cardenas but i'm pushing more to campos for the reason that i'm not really seeing the butt's i want from cardenas she has a great tummy tuck technique though but i think campos has a similiar technique and he give's abit of a rounder butt! another problem i'm facing is when i can go as i have a son who needs to attend school. the only holiday's are a week in october and christmas holidays i can't wait any longer than that so i'm gonna have to make it work somehow!!! i just hope they have availability otherwise i'm going to be very annoyed!!!

Hello Ladies. I got a quote from Campos but I am still waiting for Cardenas quote once she emails me with my quote I am pretty sure I will go with her. I checked out her credentials and she is apart of The Mexican Association of Aesthetic and Reconstructive Plastic Surgery (AMCPER) and The International Society of Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) which are both very important. She is also has diploma and certifications on her website. I thought of going to Campos because he does do some nice butts and shapes but so does Cardena and it is a plus when your doctor really cares about you. I know Mexico sounds scary but they are just as qualified as these U.S. doctors but they are just living in Mexico. Cardena speaks veryy good english, she returns your emails, and they always answer their phones. This is a response to some ones email that was looking for a quote and personally I thought this was a very good response not coming from a Mexican doctor but a doctor period.

Hello Madeline.
Nice meeting you even by this mean.
I just checked upon your photos and I do agree with you that you need an aggressive lipo on the entire back, paying attention on brassiere rolls, waist, stomach and as you said before it is almost sure that you need a Full Tummy Tuck, but let's see how your tissue respond to lipo and what is the final result over the 4-5th month.
Let me be honest with you and lipo won't get rid of the bulky shape of your stomach that is due to the loosen muscle, that of course Tummy tuck will do, and a narrower waist for sure. But as you said you do not want to deal with TT yet.
Fat grafting will improve your butt for sure, and I may tranfer 1000 cc per butt side and to your hips to, only I want to be clear and honest on what you are expecting, surgery is only one part of the results, the other bigger part is you, and your commitment with your self about loosing weight before and after surgery.Surgery by itself won't achieve the results that you want.
For me the most horrible situation would be that my patient has wrong expectations and after the surgery is not satisfied. That is the reason why I am trying to be clear in this matter.
Only you have to be sure that I will do my best always thinking on you preferences. And of course that God is always with us, blessing out team in order to achieve all of our goals and your complete satisfaction. Only lipo and Fg for Butt augmentation and hips the quote is 3300 dlls and is included one night in the clinic. For these procedures I would love you to stay in Tijuana about 2-3 days more just to be sure you leave home ok.
If you would change your mind the quote for Tummy tuck, lipo, Fg for butt augmentation and hips is 5500 one night in the clinic included. For these procedures I would highly recommend to stay in Tijuana at least 8-10 days. The best:14 days.
What is not included is your compression garment (120dlls aprox) and medication for out of the clinic (100 dlls aprox).
Good night
Dr. Cardenas
Please feel free if any other question.

Dr. Cardenas

I give kudos to Dra. Cardenas because this email shows she is real and isnt about the money but about the health and healing of her clients.

Plus go on youtube and look at her youtube videos of her doing a brazilian butt lift and a tummy tuck.

I am on the fence on whether who to go to also but Dra. Cardena is bringing me closer to my decision.

I plan on going to Dr.Campos, I got quotes for $10,000 and up in my area, he was the best choice - not only for the $$ but his works looks great! I plan on going in August, but that might not be the case because this Dr. stays booked up!
