Hello BBL sisters . i am coming up to 24 soon and...

29 Mar 2012

hello BBL sisters . i am coming up to 24 soon and i have always felt that this body is holding me back. ( okay maybe i ve put on a few pounds as well) i hate having no ass !!!! its like a curse and my big tummy !!! ( i wont even go there). so i have decided that its time for me to something about it and start living my life ..... you only live once after all. after seeing other people being transformed my sister prodded me to do it and i i cant wait. i have decided to go with Dr Pantoja and as i am from the UK this will besignificantly cheaper for me.

I am finding it difficult to make my mind up...

I am finding it difficult to make my mind up between Dr Pantoja and Dr Cardenas and at this point i really don't know !!! the good thing is that i can get a spot with both of them on the day that i want so i am definately having the Sx on the 27th of June and i have bought my plane tickets already but i cannot finalise between the two.

At first it was also campos too until i found out that he was booked up on the dates i wanted to go. I am at university so i want to go as soon as we close and be healing for the rest of the holidays. from what i have seen Dr pantoja doesnt really do hips although i like the fact that his lipo is quite aggresive . But because i am having the tt i have seen people talk about Dr Cardenas scars to be really low and well done for TTs.

the other problem i have is that although i will be staying in Mexico for a week after my Sx Dr Cardenas is going on holiday on the 29th so she would not be there for the rest of my stay and her secretary said that would make her uncomfortable (leaving me )

i really want a bigger butt with the bottle shape, and would hate to travel all that way only to be disappointed

Hello Patronella This is Dr. Cardenas and I want...

Hello Patronella
This is Dr. Cardenas and I want to offer an apology for the delay and
thank you for the confidence on sending your photos.
I am a very honest and clear person and doctor, so I will share with
you about my humble opinion.
First of all, it will be a requirement for you to loose at least 30-40
lbs prior surgery.
Second, I am very concern about your abdominal area where I can see
already saggy skin probably due to gaining and loosing weight through
your life, that saggy abdominal skin that will sag more after loosing
weight and of course will be worst after liposuction. So the perfect
procedure to really make a change on your abdomen and waist will be an
Extended Tummy Tuck in order to get rid of the saggy skin and to do a
tight muscle repair to get a totally flat abdomen and tapered waist.
I would do an aggressive liposuction to your back, flanks, waist and
as you requested a nice volume fat grafting to your butt and hips.
Also I have to be very honest about your current and inherited frame
which is wide on your waist and narrow on you hips, and your
bone-muscle frame won't be change with a plastic surgery because we
modify only skin and fat and superficial muscles (like abdominal
muscle), so it will be kind of difficult to create a super wide hips
when your frame is narrow. Definitely liposuction and fat grafting
will camouflage your frame and will help to create a curvier body
shape.
If your main issue is to maintain weight I will encourage you to
really think about bariatric surgery to loose weight permanently.
Quote for ETT, lipo and FG is 6000 dlls. (thinking you have lost all
of the recommended weight)
Please let me know if you have questions. I will be glad to help and serve you.
Dr. Cardenas

what do you ladies think ?

hey, i recieved a quote from Campos that was almost identical to urs even down to the offering me bariatric procedures. except his quote was $1600 more & he said he wanted to give me an extendedn TT. i have to respect their honesty even if its not what we want to hear. & i think the bariatrics is more because if we lose weight real quick to get the surgery it has a high chance of coming back & it will come back in terrible areas where as lap band usually helps keep our permanant result

atlgrl 28 Apr 2012

also i wanted to suggest to u that u go look at my question i asked the dr's about getting TT w/ BBL. it really may help u put things in perspective. i had 11 dr's reply & they all basically said i am too fat & i need to loose at least 25-35lbs & some suggested lap band.

Roxy418 27 Apr 2012

Lol more like where does her back end??? Ugh! I know what u goin thru sista

Css3 29 Aug 2012

hello, im having surgery with dr.cardenas 9/8/12 and just wanted to know how your doing,.did you get the results you wanted, are her bbl nice? im just alittle nervous because iI really havent seen pictures of bbl work for cardenas

StarrJ 27 Apr 2012

LOL...YESSSS. So now I won't get the "puzzled" look. Like damn where is that girl's ass O_o but the DAMN LOOK AT THE ASS O_O instead lmao. Can't wait. #teambigbootay

Roxy418 27 Apr 2012

ROTFLMAO!!!!! That's too much, well good thing all of is flaties have a way out now so pretty soon you will be rid of the flat plague lol

StarrJ 27 Apr 2012

Lmao...I'm just saying. When I FIRST started doing my research I was like ewww wth is that. It looks like it stinks lmaooo. But wait till y'all see my before pics. You're gonna be like you know what Starr ass sure wasn't lying st8 nap time on her ass lol.

Roxy418 27 Apr 2012

They gross me out too that's why they're no longer in there LOL I couldn't take that!! You are hilarious girl ROTFLMAO!!!

StarrJ 27 Apr 2012

Gurlllll I was like F dat lol. I say all the time that God went to sleep on me when he got to my ass lol. Day 7...yayyy. Glad you're walking better. The drains kinda gross me out :-/

StarrJ 26 Apr 2012

I also got a quote from her and she ask that I loose about 50 pounds. I believe she suggest to get that type of procedure because 1 it's for ppl that want to loose btw 30 and 100 pounds and 2 lets face it...we all know how hard it is to diet. But if we stay heavy...we're just gonna be a big girl with a big butt and a lil more curvy. If you desire to look more like a video vixen the weight has to go. I think she's honest and upfront and not trying to sell you a dream. I will def keep her on my list. Wishing you the best hun.

Roxy418 26 Apr 2012

Use you're absolutely right that's how she is, she is very honest that's why I chose her...my surgery was with her last week and I'm beyond pleased with my results. When u get to know her she's more than just your doctor she's more like a friend she will never sugar coat anything.

StarrJ 26 Apr 2012

You know I don't think I've heard anything bad about her thus far. I think a lot of the doctors make your head big and when you don't get that type of result you're left disappointed. You ain't got to lie Craig lol. It's been a toss up between her and Campos but I am now #teamcardenas lol. How are you feeling Roxy? And if anyone is looking for a diet that will help you loose quickly let me know. PLEASE NOTE...you have to be VERY dedicated and the program can be costly to some. I was on it for 3 wks and I lost 20lbs. NO meat on this diet and I lost it on my 3rd week plus I was loosing weight in my butt. How can I get flatter than I already am...smh lol. But I do plan on getting back on it.

Roxy418 26 Apr 2012

Lmbo!! About you loosing your butt--hilarious!! I'm feeling fine, the drains are the worse thing known to man but as long as I maintain the swelling I'm fine all day and night. I move around pretty good...today is day 7 and I can finally stand up straight!!

Roxy418 14 Apr 2012

Congratulations on your journey which ever ps you choose I wish you the absolute best, I'm familiar with Pantoja and Cardenas either way you will be stunning however...Cardenas is the tummy tuck queen hands down. Well wishes babe :)

tiamii 12 Apr 2012

Had to hear from Cardenas herself . She prefers to answer the emails personally

Bri_eautiful93 12 Apr 2012

Were you able to be quoted a price from her secretary? Or did you have to wait until you spoke with Dr.Cardenas?

tiamii 12 Apr 2012

About 3 weeks but was in touch with Fatimeh her secretary who assured me that she was a bit behind with emails

Bri_eautiful93 11 Apr 2012

How long did she take to respond to your email?

bootylicioustobe12 9 Apr 2012

thank you for your views , thoughts and support ladies . i must admit when i saw cardenas s reply i was like whoaa she aint pulling no punches but i already know i am overweight and i already wanted to loose a bit of weight before the surgery but i just thought the suggestion of bariatric surgery was a bit extreme.{ implying that i am struggling to lose weight by myself which is hard but not impossible ..

Now i really want this surgery and i aint letting no few pounds stand in my way so weight loss here we go.

Dr Pantoja did also ask me to loose a bit of weight before but he said it a nicer way !!!

trish,england 9 Apr 2012

she z trying to lose the weight, but what z the surgery for ?? in my opnion,its to try and fix you up too,from where im standing she needs agressive lipo and a TT and arm lift,if you go to MMH ,take a good luk at the gals dr CAMPOS normally deal with ,they are way to big than her ,no offence,she does need to lose,but its not that drastic as i ve seen worse,,,lol

MsPhatBack 8 Apr 2012

Well I was trying not to be too harsh!!! Yes, I agree she should lose some weight but not batriatrics like he stated!! She should lose weight then consider a bbl/TT at a later date!!! Ur right but I didn't want to come off too harsh!!

Roxy418 14 Apr 2012

Cardenas is a she and she requires the weight loss for some of her patients but only suggested the bariatric stating if she desires "permanent" weight loss and if weight is more of a genetic factor then I don't see why not, no offense to anyone I mean afterall we all have some sort of issues I doubt anyone would get offended since we all are here to fix some thing or another. Dr. Cardenas is very straight forward which is what we all should look for in a ps but bootylicioustobe I think you chose a great doc because for this reason I chose her as well.

MsPhatBack 8 Apr 2012

I think that the letter was a bit extreme, I would def scratch him off of my list of doctors he basically said in a nutshell ur too fat for HIM to do the surgery on and I do not agree and I am far from a doctor but I have seen pictures of larger women but I do think for best results you should consider a TT...#teamsalama is winning~

beautiful10 8 Apr 2012

I disagree ms phatback. The doctor could have easily took the money did the surgery and provided half az results. Let's be real if you are extremely over weight and get this type of surgery your results will not be top notch. I've seen girls on real self that are over weight and got bbl and frankly I did not look good at ALL. They looked like fat girls with a big but (not trying to be mean) we all want the "coke bottle" shape and with her current weight there's no way a bbl will give her that effect. I respect the surgeons honesty he's telling her that if she wants to see a dramatic change then weight loss is necessary.
