Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
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.

I have been on this site for a while now, and it is my turn to share. I want to help others, as I have been helped. This site has been very informative and comforting to me.
I am a 49 yr old mother of 3... I am 5' 4 and weigh 140lbs.
I have been wanting to get a Breast lift for years now and within the last year decided to get a TT as well.
I have spent hours and hours on these forums trying to find the right Doctor and trying to decide if I really want to go out of the Country. I finally have my husbands support and have decided to go for it. After much research I have decided on Dra. Walkiris Robles.
I am going to have a Tummy Tuck w/ lipo and a Breast lift w/ augmentation. I will be staying at a recovery house that allow men, because my husband is coming with me. The cost for my surgery and recovery is $5800 and my hubby will be an additional $55 a day. I did get a quote from a PS in my area and for the exact procedures it would cost $16,500. Wow!
I have my ups and downs with my decision. I feel excited and then I feel selfish. I feel like I am very vain, but then I think, we spent $35,000 on my hubby's truck, that will be in a junk yard in 10yrs, why not spend a little on my body that is with me day in and day out and will be with me for the rest of my life? And then I feel like I am just justifying my decision. I feel guilty at times and then at times I feel like I have worked hard and deserve it. I feel like I am absolutlely CRAZY for even considering going out of the country. haha...I know...I'm a basket case,lol!
It is also hard on me, because I have to keep this a secret from my family and friends. In the first place my parents would disapprove of the surgery, much less going out of the country. They think we are going on vacation! I just pray there are no complications. I feel terrible lying to the people I love, but I feel this is the way it has to be.
My surgery is scheduled for Thursday Feb 28th. Airline tickets are purchased, blood test complete (hemo 13.9) and I had great results! I have commited and will not turn back!
After buying the plane tickets, I was very excited! but Now am feeling so scared! 9 days to go and I can get rid of these butterflies! I never get sick, have never had a broken bone, much less have had a major surgery. I have had 3 children, 2 of which there was limited medicine, so I do know what pain feels like and I must say...I do not do pain very well. haha...that is why I had an epidural with my 3rd child,lol.
I will continue sharing my journey, because If I can get through this, anyone can get through this, because I am a big BABY!
Sorry if I am going on and on, but I'm just trying to keep it real! I am a white middle class woman from the heartland of the US, going waaaay out of her comfort zone!
I have been taking my iron and vit b, my vitamMedica and physically ready to go. I did plan on loosing 15lbs before surgery, but that didn't happen. This has been so stressful for me and I am a bad stress eater.
Anyway since my family cannot pray for me, I am asking for your prayers for safety, strength and success.
Will keep you updated.
