I am mommy of two kids 3,3 years old girl Zara and 20 month son David. I never be skinny but after two pregnancy my body looks terrible! I am 195-200 lb, I am 30, I am think about tummy tuck after first delivery my baby girl. And now I am completely sure that I need it! after I read a lot of review, I decide go to DR. Because is much cheaper than in US, and I like results on photo what I see at DR doctors. I find 3 doctors from there, they all professionals in what they do, but I stop at one. So I send a letter to her, and receive a quote to my surgery. I booked my surgery at December 4, at DR with Dra. Walkiris Robles. Send a deposit already. Today I will buy a tickets to Santo Domingo DR. Wait a letter from Laura about my next step. I have TT, lipo of full back and lipotransfer, but I still think need me the last one or not, my ass is one I am satisfied with. So maybe change my mind and will do full body lipo, I have time a little to think about it. I will go alone to DR, I prefer that my family see my happy face on skype, but didn't see how exactly I feel in real, I don't want make them upset about my pain. I am strong girl, and I am sure that I could handle it. Russian girl are very strong, believe me;) by the way I am originally Russian:) and now I need your help, ladies - I am confused what I need to have with me?)) is the main question up today:)) Maybe who already have a surgery at DR can help me with my question. If Ill do it at home, I pretty sure that I need nothing, because they have everything, and I am not sure about did they have it to help my with my recovery or not.

Zdrast Kalu4ka!!! I like your results. Your tummy looks very flat in the I cannot tell when your surgery was or how long ago you posted last (this newer realself format confuses me…so many windows to open to read different replays instead of one big thread) but I want to know how is the scar healing coming along? I am concerned with this issue, as I am slow to heal, but I want to be flatter more than anything! ALso, what you mean by scar revision when you go to your round 2? Are you planning to go back to DR for more procedure (round 2?)? Please update!!! Udachi!

Privet! Thanks! I had surgery at Dec 4, 2013 and my last photo was taken in May 2013. My scar looks not to good because I had risk of keloids all my life and now got it too. But its not depend from the Doctor work, its only about my skin type. I still have plans to go to DR for round 2, but I am not sire when, its depend from money and free time.

Privet! :-) Is your round 2, for different procedure…what? You look beautiful…the pic from 1 month later (the nighttime pic where you said you were swollen)!!!!! I cannot believe how teeny tiny your waist is, big difference from pic 1, and as you said you were swollen! Try mederma to soften your scar…I understand how you feel because my Mother gets keyloid, and because I have trouble healing. This is also concern for me! But really you look amazing! :-) Vsego koroshego!

Oh, so hard to deside... I booked my tickets already, send 100$ deposit to Dr. Robles and secure the date December 4 she give me quote 5,200 for tummy tuck, lipo of full back, waist, flanks, armpits and if I want inner things I need pay extra 300$ so it is 5,500 total with recovery room. But after I get a letter from Dra Almonte with price quote I am confused, she give me quote for tummy tuck, lipo of full back, waist, armpits, arms, flanks, plus inner and outer things 4600$, so I had a quote with 2 more zones ( arms and outer things) 900 $ chipper that Dra Robles give me. And even if I lose my 100$ deposit it will be cheaper for 800$ And make 2 more zones lipo. And Dra. Almonte have available date December 4, so I can change a doctor and I dont need change a tickets. They both a good Doctors, and have good before& after pics, and good reviews. What Doctor to chose?!
