Tummy Tuck: Stories

I'm a Mother of four children 21, 18, 10, and 3 :). Ive considered having a tummy tuck for about a year now. I have pretty much an hour glass figure on the thicker side but with my kids being born via C-section, I was left with all the extra skin that came along with it lol. I recently had a birthday and my theme was "Still Fine at 39" and I can't wait to reach Fabulous Forty! I feel I am more than deserving to have this surgery because I became a mom at a young age; 19. And it's been all about them every since. (Once you become a mother, you are not longer the picture, you become the frame) Just wanna live life not really caring about if my lower stomach shows as I want to let it all hang out and be free as a bird. My friend told me my body is God's gift to me and he didn't give me this shape for nothing; if you've got it, flaunt it if you will......My kids are awesome as they totally agree with her. With the age gaps of my Babies I have to assure people they have the same Dad so it's okay. But he is the one that is against the surgery suggesting he loves me the way I am... Of course he does but knows that the head's will Def turn once I go through with it.

I initally was going to Dr. Luis Suarez in Mexico but for the life of me can't get them to send me any pics of the actual incisions of other clients and I absolutely loooove the way all of the Lady's scars look per Dr. W. Robles.
I've been texting and emailing Laura but she's not moving fast enough for me lol. I definately want a more plump behind and my inner thighs done with a very low incision and a sculpted back.

I'm thinking of going in February once I get all of the negotiating done.. Ive been copying and pasting the list from the clients on this particular thread so I can be on point. I am a research-holic and I think i've found my PS :) THANKS to all that dont mind sharing.

I also Aspire to Inspire soooo

Happy Healing to you All and be blessed

I just added a new pic from the side with a dress on. I strongly feel that I dont need a BBL but wont refuse it as Dr Robles suggested it will make it rounder and perkier. Not looking for a 'Video Vixen' body cause in my opinion I was naturally blessed with curves, hips, big but and a size d cup. Only want a tummy tuck to get rid of the access skin from the additional gifts from God although they were c-section delivered :)

Happy Healing Ladies!!!

Keep you Ladies Posted on what occurs.

HAPPY HEALING LADIES AND PRETTY SOON, LESS THAN TWO WEEKS I WILL BE ON THE FLAT(TER) SIDE...WOOO HOOOOO.
*TOO EXCITED

O..M..GEEEEE!!! I can not believe it! The time has come for me to depart! First thing in the a.m.....tears...of joy and excitement. I have been wanting this for soooo long. I almost feel guilty. But with a 21 and 18 year old along with my 10 and 3 year old. I keep thinking, 2 down and 2 to go!!!
So yaaaay me lol...Oh well, almost on the 'FLAT SIDE'!!!

Okay, here's the deal! I found a specialist that has an office in Miami. His Grandfather has been into denistry for 28 years...So, once Dr. Robles Driver picks me up from the airport, my first stop will be to his office to have impressions done for veneers, crowns and maybe an implant. After that I will be going to the hospital for blood work then surgery on the 9th. It will take about 7-10 days for my final seating with the Dentist so I will be updating or may even create another blog in regards to that for those that want good quality dental care while in the Dominican Republic. According to Laura and the Dentist, their offices are about 15 minutes apart.

P.s. Veneers are going to be roughly 425 a piece since im getting at least 13!!! Hope this goes smoothly...In the states they are like a grand. Will post more tomorrow once im in the clinic to advise on safe arrival :)

Had surgery yesterday...She explained that she didnt want to lipo my back being my blood count had dropped friom being on my cycle so they gave me a whole grand back. Meaning Ionly paid 4200... I tried telling her my but was already huge and I didnt need the BBL.. So once she saw it for herself she agreed. I only got tummy tuck and lipo on my sides. Oh well...lol. I will update later....
