You have been so hopeful with all this info! I just realized that you also had a BBL..the price is awesome.Why is there no follow up? & I wonder how much it would be for just a tummy tuck alone. Did you have an extended tummy tuck with muscle repair? & you look GREAT!!!

Alanna, I went to TJ as well..wonder if others will catch on to this? I opted not to have BBL, although my PS suggested to make my booty more round. Mine is pretty big already. The only negative thing about surgery in MX, is no follow up. I did end up with liquid, but thankfully no sernoma. Was the BBL worth it? I am at almost 13 weeks.

I was lucky and didn't end up with any liquid or infection. The BBL was worth it. My butt definitely blew up for a few weeks, but the swelling went down eventually. I like it, gave me a nice little shape...not too much, just perfect.

I stayed in Mexico one week. My flight back wasn't so bad just uncomfortable sitting on my bottom. I paid cash, there was no financing service. Very affordable and I would recommend dr. Fuentes. It's very clean and safe!

Hi I was wondering how far it was for your travel to Mexico? How long was it after your surgery when you went home? Did you fly? If so how was the flight back?

You look fantastic! I'm happy I found this page. I want to go to TJ, Mexico for a TT. & I want to find the right Doctor. I'm so happy to see your results :))

I'm glad you found my videos helpful! I think only a certain amount of fat can be taken out depending on the patients physique and overall health. But good luck and dr. Fuentes is great!

This is a great review. I am going to Dr.Fuentes on March 14th for TT, Lipo inner thighs,full back , waist and lower abdomen w/ fat transfer to my buttock. The only thing that concerns me is the amount he will be willing to transfer to give me the result I want. Thank you for this video it helps . U look great.

I didnt really have pain. I just felt lots of soreness from the lipo. I had a pain pump for the first 2 days so I was fine. I must say if you are getting a muscle repair it hurts to sneeze or cough. Feels like your belly button is about to pop out. I was nervous about pain too but it's really not that bad just soreness. I'm still healing and I must say it was one of the best decisions I've made! Super happy and I can't wait to wear a 2 pc this summer! Good luck! Are you going to Mexico?

Alanna9954, you make it look so easy, you look wonderful on your 4 day post op, but really how was the pain on day 1-3. I am scheduled for a TT and BBL and I am terrrifed of the unknown pain, but so ready to finally have a flat tummy and a butt...happy healing!
