I'm going for it! Going in for Smaller Implants and a Few Areas of Lipo

WORTH IT$4,000
I've finally decided to go through with this .... a round 3!

I'm only 5 feet tall, so my breasts are entirely too large for my frame. I can't wear anything with out looking like a tent. So I'll need to have another lift and change out my implants. I'm not sure what size I'll go with....relying on my surgeon's opinion on that.

I'm also going to have a bit of lipo to my arms/armpits and anywhere else that he recommends.

I've decided on Dr. Luis Mejia. I really like his breast work and his team has been super friendly and responsive. My surgery date is August 18th and I'll be staying at Serenity. Anyone else there at the same time?

I went to Jim in July. He is the best. You won't have any regrets.

Oh I'm sorry I thought you went to Dr Pantoja for the first round? If you have done your research on this doctor doll then have faith you have made the right decision. Don't base your decision on friends advice either because I've seen some dolls go to a face doctor for butt and breast surgery's. As long as you have happy you will be fine. Make sure he is board certified as well.

Am I CRAZY for Considering Round 3???

Tianik
Hi everyone! As you can see from my earlier reviews, I've already had two rounds: first with Dr. Pantoja (lipo, BBL, breast lift and implants) and second with Dr. Cabral (lipo only).

I'm not loving my breasts anymore. I feel like they're too large since I'm only 5 feet tall. I'm also considering getting another BBL.

Seriously.....am I crazy?

I haven't even mentioned these thoughts to my husband yet. I know he'll have a fit!!

What do you ladies think? Is three rounds a bit overboard?

Back to the Dominican Republic, most likely. Trying to decide on a doctor and figuring out how to talk about it with the husband. :-)

Three Weeks Out - Post Op with Dr. Cabral

Tianik
Hey there! So I'm just over three weeks post-op with Dr. Cabral. I have to say that I love how things are shaping up. I feel like I'm spending a ton of money on new fajas because my swelling keeps going down and, since I live in Dallas, no one knows how to alter a faja correctly. Oh well...it's part of the investment.

I'm not nearly in as much pain as before. I'm definitely up and doing things by myself. I still have some soreness and my skin is still super sensitive to the touch but other than that, doing quite well. I cannot WAIT to see what my final results will be.

I also wanted to take a minute a write a short review of Daisy's recovery house. It took me a while to decide if I was actually going to write this up but I figured most people would want to know. So here's the general scoop - Daisy's RH is okay. It's kept relatively clean, the A/C works well, the WiFi works well, etc. I had a single room but had to share a bathroom with another room. Not a big deal, but not ideal either. The care you receive from the nurses/staff is excellent. I probably would have cried the entire time if it hadn't been for the sweet women who work there.

So, now for the negatives. First, they keep the downstairs back door open all the time so there are mosquitoes all over the place. I get it - tropical country and all - but the last thing you want to deal with when you're already not feeling well is itchy scratchy bites from little sh!t mosquitoes. Second, the food was just average. They generally don't ask you what you want and it's always a crap shoot as to what you're going to find waiting for you for your meal. Again, nothing was downright nasty - just very average. Third, all the beds are twin size beds that she must have bought cheap from the local IKEA because they are not the most comfortable things in the world.
Fourth, the driver is super sweet but keeping a schedule is not his strong point. Two of the ladies that were headed to the airport at the same time as me missed their flight because the driver was running so late. Actually, he never even showed up - one of the nurse's husbands was kind enough to take us to the airport!!!! Very frustrating!!! Finally, although Daisy herself comes off as very sweet - she really only comes to the house to collect her money and that's it. She chatted with us for about 8 minutes and then left. I think I saw her at the house maybe two times. Since this is her business, I would have expected her to have a more hands-on approach - but whatever. Also, I hate to say this - but make sure you give her exact change for whatever you're paying her for. Technically she still owes me $15 because she couldn't make change when I paid my balance but I'm not going to be all dramatic over it.

In sum, would I stay there again?? Probably not. :-(
