Hello ladies! I just had my revision! Sorry I didn't update leading into it but I didn't really prep as much this time. I began taking iron pills two weeks before BUT I normally take multivitamins anyway and eat a lot of greens (spinach, kale) and a lot of legumes lentils black beans so i wasn't too a worried. I came in at 9. My sister dropped me off at the border I walked in on my own and walked across the bridge to grab a $5 taxi ride to the office. Piece of cake :) the Doctor came in and said hello by shaking everyone's hand. Sweetheart as always. The girls Hannia and Nadia are very sweet and attentive still! I haven't seen my results just yet but I hope it comes out to what I wanted to I can be done with these surgeries! But all in all I just can't be mad at Pantoja. He tried his best and has now corrects the issues (fingers crossed) I do have a suggestion for ladies doing this in the future: break it down! Seems like you save money but if you get what I did then you end up spending more plus time and energy and recovery twice time off work etc. I would have gone with tummy tuck and breast augmentation then 6months later come back for lipo to that tummy area and nah other areas plus fat graft (bbl) just a suggestion from someone who went through it. Stay sexy chicas! :-)

I will be going back for the revision come august... I'm already nervous as heck! But the staff at dr. Pantojas is great so that's calms my nerves just a little but it's only normal to feel anxious/ angry/ annoyed ... Ugh... But like I said its helps that they are a great team... I guess I should start prepping for this revision specially mentally... That's the real prep

Good for you girlie...I also have little dog ears on both hips but my doctor is going to do the revision in September...he wants to wait a little longer bc I had a drainless TT and Im still swollen, but he said super easy local and a little lipo will be in/out in 20 minutes! You were 100% right to write to Dr. P and explain the situation...you look amazing but am right there with you on the amount of money you spent you should feel beautiful inside and out! Will keep you in my prayers!

You are so sweet thanks so much! Yes plese keep me in your prayers--i am terrified all over again..its more of a selfish feeeling like what if i dont make it (dramatic i know lol) what will be of my kids? and i could have spend that $1800 on a disneyland vacation etc

I just went over your review again...I noticed you stated "after" the swelling is when you noticed that dog ears and I see you still have loose tummy skin...so my questions is "what did Dr P state the reason why he didn't tuck you tighter?" you didn't have any tummy fat just loose skin like myself...so what's the process of determining how much skin is needed to be cut???? sorry, that question isn't for you...just a QUESTION cause if we pay for a tummy tuck that's suppose to remove the loose skin why would we HAVE loose skin afterwards? hmmmmmm...I do not want to do another surgery especially when I am going in thinking it will be done in the present surgery...I am once AGAIN CONFUSED! Keep us posted please!

i dont know how that happened. Even before surgeyr i was assuming i could need a circ. TT since i had so much extra skin everywhere but i didnt speak up..i assumed doc would know best..theres some advice always speak up :) i can still pull on my sides like far away from my skin, thats how i know i def have way too much extra skin! the belly its more in the center only but still looks os nasty and its so disappointing... the good thing is that he has agreed to correct it the bad thing is that there is still money and time from my part to redo
April 24, 2014
I'm excited for u! =) You will have the results u want!
One question, I know u are 2 weeks ahead of me, but are u still getting swollen at all?
April 24, 2014
I really hope so..i am too upset that i have to go through the motions again--i realy want it fixed and yes i do get swollen. its random though. Days i feel great and other days i feel like i have a water bag intbetween my skin and muslce
April 24, 2014
Yeah, my lower back still swells everyday. My tummy started swelling after the 2nd month. Only in the center up and down. Really strange. And just recently I noticed that I shrunk a bit as I can wear some of my size 4 pencil skirts but my hips still measure 43 inches.
I can understand why u are upset.
But to know that u will reach your goal is what makes me feel happy for u. =)

Well good luck to u beautiful and hope it's all u want! Good luck sweetie xoxo

has any one had a revision?
NewYear_NewMeApril 22, 2014
I'm just upset I have to go through it again.. And why do I have to pay? If it would hVe gone as planed the first time I wouldn't have been in this situation and I wouldn't have to spend additional money plus recovery time plus time off work it's all so darn expensive once it adds up! And flight and hotel ugh... Maybe I should have just stayed in the states :-/ any advice?

I may be going back for a revision or round 2 aswell. My left cheek at the bottom inside going towards my you know is bigger than my right. And I'm planning on having more fat taken out of my upper body : arms n back to inject to even it out . And for that alone is 1800 . Idk if I should do that or go with salama in Florida . Let me know what you end up doing you still look great though! Sorry bout tbe disappointment tho I thought I would look skinnier but I don't. Lol
April 24, 2014
