breast aug with lift - Cali, CO

Hello R.S ladies :)

Well, a little about me...I am mother to 4 gorgeous girls, with my youngest being 15 months. I am 5'3 170 lbs. I am naturally a very curvacious woman, with hips measuring 44' (lucky me) waist 30' (not so lucky) I have always been around 120-130 lbs, before and after each pregnancy. However, with my last baby I decided I wanted to keep my new found big booty that i love love love!!! Unfortunately, when I lose weight, everything else goes, and I didnt want that, so I opted for a lipo first, with the desire of removing excess fat from my waist, and contour my buttocks, as well an a breast aug. I started to look into it in Cali, Colombia, to price out my options. First Dr I inquired with was Dr Lina Triana. Dr Trianas price for lipo, and breast aug was $6,000 with post op garment, post op medicine included. It was my first time inquiring, so I told the Dr's assistant that I was looking into having my surgeries sometime next year. She then offered me a $1,000 discount if I came this year, and sent her the deposit to confirm the date. That was sufficient enough to get my attention, and intrigue me into planning a trip. I told her that I was very interested, and that I would go ahead with it. In the meantime, I was on R.S, and read that Dr Triana doesn't give tiny waists (which is what I want) as well as there weren't any offical reviews of her work, as well as any before or after BBL procedure. I stumbled across a few excellent reviews about Dr Villalobos in Cali, and decided to look him up....well I fell in love with his work, decided to request a quote. Dr. V advised me that I should get a T.T due to my excess skin (which I dont believe I have any) but I will leave that to him :) as well as a breast lift with aug. I certainly didn't want the whole mommy makeover deal, because I have had 3 c-sections, and the recovery time was rough, so I can only imagine what a TT would be like. Anyway, he quoted me $6,000 for the following: breast lift with aug, a tummy tuck with muscle tie, and lipo sculpture (which is lipo and bbl) all of those procedures for that price, and included is also a 24h nurse for 2 days, post op garments, and 10 post massages. SCORE!! Dr.V it is. I was impressed by the formal letter they sent out with all of the information regarding the quote, the procedure, and then some. I went ahead and chose a date for the end of October of this year. I have family in Cali, but won't be staying with them for the first few nights. I don't want anyone in my family to lose sleep over my vanity, so I decided to stay at Casa Arama. I have already been in contact with Martha. She is soo sweet, and very thorough in explaining every question I may have. I will update once date is confirmed, and throughout the process. Bye for now. Xo

So, as I am waiting in the E.R with my dd who has chronic tonsolitis, I am thinking I should update you ladies on my change of mind. I am currently not wanting a tummy tuck for many reasons:
1-Guess it is the biggest reason; the recovery time. I might be speculating this outcome, but I have had 3 c-sections, and they were NOT fun. I have 4 lil girls, and I need to choose a procedure that gives me a decent outcome with the least recovery time.
2- I have read the many issues with constant swelling, even years down the road. Nooo thank you!
3- The least of my concerns, the ugly scar that also can become a nuisance with its host of issues.
So, I emailed my Dr, sent him a few pictures of how well my skin has responded to my weight loss of 50+ lbs after every pregnancy. All he could say was that he would have to take a look at me personally, and then come up with a plan there, but that he was thinking possibly a mini tuck. Well, I do not appreciate the pushiness towards a tuck, especially about something I am not interested in doing. I am not looking for a drastic change in shape, as I am already very curvy. Anything at this point would help me. The biggest change for me would be the lift with the augmentation. I would rather try lipo and my skin become loose, then have a full tuck without knowing what the results of the lipo would have been. I am not in a rush to have a perfect body in one shot. Having said that, I also want to prevent future complications. On another note, I will be paying my deposit in the next couple of weeks, and then time to do some shopping for my supplies. Ttyl. Xo

Hey heyy!! I am checking ticket prices daily for flights to Colombia, and am very excited to find a good price. My mother is taking time off work to stay with my 4 children. She will be confirming this tonight, which I am very happy about. Yall know there is no one better than grandma :). I dont really like maxi dresses, since I am only 5'3, and they make me look extra short, but I would like to be very comfortable, so I have started purchasing dresses, no supplies yet tho. No one in my family is supportive of this, except my mother who is supportive of the fact that I am a grown woman, and am able to make my own decisions. She is very respectful when it comes to that, and is supporting me with child care and her prayers, which is plenty for me. My husband does NOT have a clue about this, since I would like to firstly surprise him, secondly, I would not like to hear his negative feedback on this. He is American, never been to Colombia, and based on the news about Colombia, he never wants to go lol, which is a shame, but to each their own. Colombia is home to me, it is where I was born and raised, I know my people, I know the food, I know the language, the culture, everything. It is my first home, Canada is second. Anyway, I forget his name, but the owner of Casa Arama conducts himself in a very professional manner when speaking to me over the phone. I have yet to buy my tickets, and they are on the ball about checking on me making sure that I know to call them about any question I may have, ensuring that I am aware that they will provide me with lots of TLC which is so comforting. I can speak ahead because I know how Colombians are when hosting people. They are amazing! I am to send them a copy of my flight itinerary, and then they will book my date. As I previously mentioned in my last post, I am staying with them 4 nights, because I don't want my family to loose sleep over my vanity. I am bringing my 15 month old so my family can meet her, and love her up, and since her flight ticket is free, it works in my favour. I am getting very excited. This is such an important trip for me because I am visiting the woman who raised me for 10 yrs. My mother worked as a live in private nurse back in Colombia. Mother worked 4 days on, 4 days off. My mama was in charge of everything about my sister's and my care. I have 2 moms. My imama is the one that raised me and my mother is the one who birthed me, love them both very much, and am lucky to still have them here with me. Therefore this trip is multi-purpose. God willing, I am also bringing my mama back to Canada with me to visit her grandbabies for 6 months!! This has been a goal of mine for many years, and I finally have the opportunity to travel with her back home! Soo exciting! Also looking forward to having someone here to help me out while husby is out of the country for work. Ttyl loves! XO
