Is going to the DR safe that's my only worry? When is your procedure?
January 2, 2014
After I did my research I saw that there is risk in every surgery where ever you go. I made my decision to go to DR because honestly it's cheaper. If I had the money I would go to a reputable local doctor. Nip and tuck out of the country is common now and no doctor wants to put a patient at risk where ever you go ( I hope) I chose Robles because I liked her work and every patient after they had work done said she was very caring. I also checked her face book page and it made me more comfortable. I also have several friends that went to DR and they look like a new person they didn't go to her but they came back looking amazing. I'm going 2/18/14 I'm already packed but her list is small and I been reading peoples post op list and they bring all this crap in the post op list the dr sent it was minimum items which is why I'm so confused???

Bring what the doctors says they have done this procedure more than once so they protocol. After some people reviews they didn't need a lot of their belongings because they didn't need them. Bring the basics and stuff you think you will need, watch reviews on you tube.

Ok thanks, I went Robles Facebook page and she replied next day! I original want to go to Duran and she never replied back :-(

I am still trying to figure out how to get a hold of her this is the email I got after doing a little bit of research hilarioplasticsurg@gmail.com I just sent a email today so let me know if you get anything. Salama really easy just go to his direct web page and click on the icon that says consultation. From what I hear be patient it can take a while for the doctors to get back to you

Hey Tisha welcome all you have to do is take pics front back and dise view of the areas you want to have done you then email the doctors requesting a quote. Then you go with whom whoukd best suite what look your going for here are a few Dr names buzzing around baez, salama, yily and duran all have good work some specialized in other areas just my personal opinion from there you pick your date start looking for tickets and look at recovery houses and see if you can get a buddy if you have no one going with you good luck on ur journey I will be following

Happy New Year! Thank you for sending in your pictures. You are a great candidate for this procedure. Please see below for Dr. Salama’s Comments:



“Patient is an overall good candidate for the BBL surgery. She has good fat deposits in the areas that I would liposuction which are abdomen, flanks, upper back. The abdomen will become flatter via the liposuction and the flanks will be reduced to improve her waist profile. I’ll aggressively work these areas to create more contour and shape. I’ll use all fat available to create a more projectioned fuller buttock region. We will also use available fat to fill in the lateral gluteal region. The waistline will be reduced substantially as this will create more definition to her back. All fat will be used for projection, volume and hips, transferring a minimum of 1000 cc’s per side. The lower back is also an important area for liposuction as it will accentuate the buttock line. The bra line area will get addressed via the liposuction. We can always address other areas of fat with liposuction as that is a very common request. Other than that, I foresee giving her great results

Quote at 8,999 I wish he was little bit cheaper I am young and don't have much credit so I know I wont get approved for any financing :(

Decisions decisions.. I am going to think about this I am going to give my self a couple weeks and plan accordingly and make sure Dr. Salama is the right doctor for me :)
Do any of you have suggestions???

Hey girl, I know how you feel I am still stuck between Duran and a doctor from my city. I am just not sure if I want to travel to DR. I know ive heard amazing reviews but I am stil skeptical. I really do love Durans work but when you add up the costs of staying in DR for 10days, air fare, medications, etc... Its not much of a difference than doing the surgery in your own city and then staying home. I think id feel a lot safer if anything did go wrong especially with the language barrier and any medical history that may interfere...I just dont know still torn!
January 2, 2014
I feel you and I felt the same way. Although, I liked the results I saw from the doctors work in DR. Than the results are saw at the local doctors here and the prices were extremely different compared to the work I want to get done. I'm so nervous I'm going next month, yikes! Time flies....

OMG!! yes that is exactly how I am feeling right now. I am scared to go to DR but after watching a you tube video I felt much better about DR. The only thing I recommend is travel with a BBL buddy or have someone go with you if I go to the DR that is what I am going to do I hope Duran gets back to me in the next couple weeks I just emailed her yesterday so I know it will take a while. Have you talked to Duran? For traveling to the DR would be couple thousand dollars cheaper their are no doctors that perform the BBL where I am located :(
January 2, 2014
Thanks
January 4, 2014
I agree! I just got a quote from Dr. ROBEL 3995 that does not include meds or anything. Plus id have to pay for airline ticket and hotel by the time you add all those expenses might as well just get it done here in the states but I must say in Dr their work is remarkable

Welcome aboard & good luck on your journey. Both doctors do great work and I understand your reason for traveling out of the country bc I had those same concerns but I decided to go with Duran bc she sculpts wonderfully & gets the waist tiny and her prices vs US doctors was much cheaper. I didn't feel like spending ( my baby's college fund lol) too much money having to pay for extra areas of lipo & BBl..But i heard that the doctors in Florida are starting to match the DR prices now so good luck on your choice.
