WORTH IT$6,911
I originally booked my bbl with Dr. Chang in Miami for June 20. I continued to research online for BBL and found Dr. Guadalajara in Mexico. I decided to just send him a message to find out how much it cost. Luckily, I did cuz i get a call from Dr. Verduzco (owner of @viveplasticsurgery) and told me that they had a special for June 2, 2019 due to a cancellation. He went on to proceed that because it is last minute as it was June 27, 2019, he can give me a really good price. For BBL with lipo 360 and breast lift with gummy bear implants for $6500. I jumped on it as Dr. Chang was charging for BBL $5500. Plus at vive plastic surgery, it would be performed at a hosptial facility which is better. They also would have 3 internationally double board certified surgeons in the operating table with me. They also required medical lab work sent to them but they also do their own lab work and i have to see their cardiologist to get clearance even though i had already done my blood work in toronto canada. They are very cautious and thorough. I loved that. I booked it right away knowing i would lose my $500 USD deposit with spectrum aesthetics with Dr. Chang. I love Dr. Chang's work but have you seen Dr. Guardalajara (Dr. Felix Marquez)? Amazing work!!!! I have seen other girls who had gone with Dr. Guardalajara and wow!!! you just have to see it.
I flew in from Canada to San Diego, California. It is only a 30 minute drive from the San Diego International Airport. They have a fly in program where they send a driver to pick you up from San Diego Airport and bring you to Tijuana, Mexico. At first, I was very scared and skeptical as it is in Mexico and i hear so much negative things about mexico and the idea of crossing the border from California to mexico doesnt sound easy. But let me tell you! it was the easist thing in the world! First, my driver was there as soon as I arrived in San Diego, California. She drove me and my fiance directly to the Mexico border, which by the way was super easy as everyone is welcome in Mexico! They didn't stop us nor check us at the border. We literallly just drove straight through. The clinic is just 10 minutes from the border. As soon as I arrived to the clinic to meet my Dr. since i arrived on June 1, the day before and they had no time to send me to the hosptial to do my lab work, they instead called the lab technician to come to the clinic to do my lab work, after that, my driver drove us to the cardiologist to do an ECG test. Once my cardiologist approved me, my driver drove me back to San Diego, CA where I was staying at a hotel. Coming back from Mexico was a little different as we had to get checked at the border but my doctor gave us medical pass so it was a quick and easy border crossing. literally took us 5 minutes to cross the border.
They had booked my surgery for 10am the next day. My driver arrived at my hotel at 8am to pick me up and drove me straight to the hosptial in Mexico. We arrived early as there was no traffic at all. I had 2 nurses prep me then Dr. Verduzco and Dr. Felix Marquez met with me, discussed what I wanted and marked me up. Since i had a bit of an issue with sending my deposit to secure my surgery date a week before for $300 USD, he gave me a free arm lipo!!! How amazing is that??? I had also decided to add chin lipo for an additional $600. My breast lift came with gummy bear implants. So my total cost was $7100 USD for BBL, lipo 360 with arms and chin, breast list with gummy bear implants. This include 2 nurses, one night stay at the hospital, compression socks, 1 faja and the surgery with anaesthetic. Cant beat that price.
Experience was amazing. I had my nurse wheel me to the OR where 3 surgeons plus anaesthestiologist work on me. Next thing i know, i was in my room warm and cozy. Both Dr. Verduzco and Dr. Felix checked on me the next day. 2 wonderful nurses bathed me and put me on a clean set of faja. They were godsent! I dont know what i would have done without them. After going through the first 24 hours after surgery, everyone needs a nurse to take care of them for the first 24 hours. I have medical training and I still needed the care. I loved that I had stayed at the hospital overnight. They checked on me every 2 hours and gave me my meds. It made it so much easier for me.
for anyone who is thinking of getting work done in Dominican Republic, please dont. there are so many deaths and complications from DR. Go to Tijuana Mexico! They have no deaths and no complications. They take great care of you! My doctor even gave me flowers the next day when he came to check up on me!!! The whole vive plastic surgery team was amazing and I am definitely going to go back to them for my next surgery!!!!
Thank you @viveplasticysurgery for taking such great care of me! I love my breast! perfect size and i didn't tell them what size i wanted. they gave me what they thought would look best. yes, they did ask me but i told them give me what you think would look best plus i want lots of hips and booty. and THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I GOT!!!! 5 STARS TO VIVE PLASTIC SURGERY!!!

just posted them. it should be up in 1 day. i havent posted any pics because i was waiting for the swelling to go down. i didn't want to post pics that doesnt reflect how amazing my result was. recovery is a long process and you have to be mentally prepared for it. there are days when you regret and question what you had done to yourself but it passes. i am waiting for the fluff fairy to visit my booty. that won't happen at least until i reach 3 months at the earliest.
