WORTH IT$5,200
I'm almost 19 weeks post op which is about 4 1/2 months and my butt got bigger! I think it finally fluffed. I'm happier with it today then I was a few months ago. I want to lose some weight but I dont want to lose my booty! I think I just might try to tone up my arms, legs, and core. I also have been using kelo-cote for my scars and it works pretty go so far. My tummy tuck scar is lightening up nicely. I was using mederma but it wasnt doing anything. That's all I have for now!

I'm 15 weeks post op. I have no health issues and I believe that I have been healing fine.
The only thing I'm upset about is I have dog ears. For those that don't know it's when you have excess skin and fat above the incision on the sides of the tummy tuck. Basically the sides of my tummy tuck stick out and it looks bad. The front of my tummy tuck is fine but the sides are driving me crazy. I've been trying to contact the doctor and Raquel about this but I feel like I'm getting no where. So I'm pissed about that too. All I need is for her to lipo my sides and cut off the excess skin. I figured in the same surgery she can lipo my stomach and upper back and do a fat transfer cause my butt needs some more volume. I'm a little pissed at this point. I'm happy with the front of my tummy tuck but I need her to do some finishing touches.

Oh wow! This is the first review I have read that has mentioned thus I wonder if this has happened to some it the ladies that we haven't heard from in awhile. I definitely see what you are talking about. I am sorry don't want to offend you but has your eating habits increased and thus is weigh gain? Your results were really nice your previous update?

My eating habits are the same. & in the previous pictures I was also the same but it was hidden behind the underwear I was wearing. In the beginning I noticed that it stuck out but i thought it was no big deal. I've looked at the other girls that went to Dr. Robles and their incision goes clean around their waist. Mine does not. It clearly sticks out. I did research and it's common that someone would get dog ears if not enough fat was lipo-ed in that area or not enough skin was taken out. Usually the doctor will fix it with either low or no cost. I'm just hoping that the doctor can fix it for me. I don't know why but it's really bothering me. I honestly don't want anyone but her to fix.

I'm so sorry P. I hope thus us a simple fix and not a huge surgery like your first. I wonder what can be done to prevent this from happening to some of us going to have surgery soon

It's a simple fix... they only cut off the sides. Maybe a few inches. There's nothing you can do to prevent it. It all depends if the doctor cuts off enough on the sides and/or lipos enough. It's nothing like a tummy tuck so its not that bad.

Really? It sucks. How do you feel? Did you contact Dr. Almonte or have any plans to get them fixed?

I actually didn't know what it was until I read your review. I thought dog ears was something else lol. It doesn't bother me though so it's not something I would write to her about (not like I'm going back anytime soon). I was going to go back to do my breast reduction but I'm gonna try and get my insurance to cover it instead of going back to dr

It is interesting that your TT scar looks like that, I know two people who have gone to her and their scars got dark, thick and turned into zig zags. Are you considering a TT revision with another doctor? Walkiris Robles is not as aggressive as other Dominican docs who would had taken out more fat. For example, Dr. Cabral is way more aggressive and so is D.R Ortiz and some others.

I forgot to mention these two people are getting touch ups and a TT revision but with other doctors. They were unhappy about their results, because of the TT scar, they still have fat left and Robles lied about the amount of cc she would inject into their booties. Good luck with everything hun :)

December 16, 2012
I didnt get my thighs lipoed. The skin there is thinner than other places on my body so if I lipo there it will definetly sag and look nasty so Im just gonna work out when the time comes. For my arms, breast, and thighs Im just gonna lift weights

How's your incision healing so far? I'm worried that I'll need to cover mine with a tat after I go.

December 16, 2012
Its fine and healing. I just started putting maderma on it last week but I dont apply it faithfully. Everyone feels different about scars... I personally am not bothered by them so getting a tattoo is a personal decision.
