Although I'm pregnant and wont be due till April 17,2013. I'm excited 6 months from my due date, I will be having a Mommy make over, with lipo all over and butt augmentation!

2 years After I had my daughter. I had lipo in my upper and lower back, and abdominal, and the sides of my waist. The procedure was extremely cheap and worth every penny, and then some. The only part that sucked was the scar tissue! And not to mention I had a BM after 3 weeks of surgery.

Well here I am, pregnant again and I've done some research. Found out that tummy tuck is the best procedure to rid you of scar tissue. It's like starting fresh. (Thank god the baby is stretching my tummy out so almost all the scar tissue can be removed) I'm having a boy and this time I'm tieing the tubes up since I have a boy and a girl now. And I've also learned how to getting rid of the scar tissue in the process of healing from the surgery.

I've spoken with the clinic about my procedures. I haven't been quoted a price but I was told my price range would be in the range of 6,000 to 7,000 which is awesome for all those procedures. I've heard many awesome reviews about Dr. Pantoja, and not once have I herd a bad review. He seems to strive for what you request, and his workers from what I've heard seems very delightful.

Thanks for starting your story on RealSelf. And congrats on baby #2! Did Dr. P. do your lipo as well?

You might want to check out this great post from Blond in Bluffton about her first three days of recovery (though she didn't have a BBL, so take that into consideration). Good luck and please keep us posted!

Good luck to you! I'm also scheduled with dr pantoja for brazilian butt augmentation, tummy tuck with full body lipo and I'm still thinking about the breast lift I just think is too much surgery wat y'all think? Should I do them all?

I already dont want to go under anesthesia, so I definitely ain't going under it twice! Not to mention fees for flying and doing another procedure separately, is way... More expensive. The more procedures in one go round, the less the cost! I know it's a lot, but..... It depends on the person! I feel, if your young, healthy and mentally strong? You should go head and do it. But if you have a fear please don't take my advice as pressure! You are your own person, and know you more then n e one knows you! This is your journey, you choose your own path!!! ;)

I'm 22 and really mentally prepared for this surgery since I been wanting it for 2 years and now I feel ready to do and I agree with u all the way... i just want a big butt so wanted him to contribute to that area more but hes a good doctor he know wat to do thank you!

He allows you to keep the drains in for 2-3 weeks, to fully drain the fluid when your receiving lipo all over they are pumping tons of liquid in you to keep you from losing so much blood! I believe it's called Lana cane! When they put it in you abdominal you look like your pregnant its just that much fluid imagine all over your body! If you do not put pressure on you lipo area like tight garments you will allow tons of tissue to form! I had tons of scar tissue because my doctor lipoed me vigerous. plus my garment wasnt compressing anything because it was too big! Using products like Arnica dissolvers Arnica Cream and the complete recovery package from Vitamedica.com will keep you from swelling and give you a minimum of scar tissue. that's pretty much it! Hope that's been helpful! ;)

I haven't went just yet! But I plan on staying for 7 days! my fiancé has to go back to work, but I'm going to keep the draining tubes in for a while until they aren't draining any more maybe 2 - 3 weeks! Two of my sisters are nurses and ones a doctor so ill have one of them to check on it and remove them!

He doesnt use any lont time drain tubes - said theyd be removed within the 4 days - he just lets it all drain out ---- also what methods do you have for preventing scar tissue build up - is it noticeable from the first time you had work done?

Well, It's been 3 weeks since I had my baby! I gained 70lbs with him and loss 50lbs so far!! Yay me i have 20 more to go! I guess the catering to my family caused me to lose it fast! But I want to lose at least 57 more! I'm at 232 height 5.7 1/2 so I'm pretty tall! Lol
my last hospital weigh in was 282lbs! No joke! So i am pretty much blessed to see it melt off so fast!

I will be starting a shake and a salad diet Sunday May12/2013!! Plus I will be working out to Insanity 6 days a week!
I hope I don't lose too much weight cause I still want a Phatty lol!

I also hope I can stay dedicated cause not only am I in the process of looking sexy and getting healthy I'm growing out my hair and clearing up my skin! My kids have truly did a number on me! I'm only 25 so I can't just stop caring about my appearance!!

I want a buddy I can do this thing together with! I've always been a slender girl with only thighs and [RS bleep] and a gorgeous face!! So I've always been told! I need to be able to be motivated and help motivate! If there's someone out there who don't want to do this thing alone and want to go the same time msg me! We could help each other through this extreme process!

Well I guess these pics are well over due! So here is the horror!
