hello ladies! well where do I start maaaaaaan I so wanna get my boobs & tummy done but its just so darn expensive here in the united states I really love Dr.Bruno results he's such an amazing person he truly listens to you & shows that your wishes & plans are everything to him no matter what you decide I had recently contacted his financial planner & asked how much it would cost for a tummy tuck & breas aug with lift & whats amazing they have discounts if you get them both done together at the same time which is amazing the total for me came out to be about 13G which is a lot a lot & can't find myself to afford it :( :( I hate feeling this way I got my body to a place where working out just isn't cutting it I have had ladies come to me & tell me maybe you should go to the Dominican republic or Tijuana mexico & honestly I am tooooo terrified to leave the states I feel like I will leave & never return they have great great pricing but I just cant find myself to even trust going that way I think id rather pay a lot then to pay a little & not feel comftorable with it uhhhhhhhhhhhh I am tired of hating myself looking in the mirror & not loving what I see specially at my age I am only 22 I look around & get so upset when I wish to be someone else besides myself I love who I am but its not enough why does this hurt so bad?

I went to the dominican and had surgery with Dr. Medina. I have had lots of surgery (for medical reasons) and I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt that her practices are just as good as the states. She was amazing. I had a tummy tuck, bbl, and lipo done for $4500. I was supposed to have a breast lift and implants done as well but my hemoglobin was too low and she couldn't do it. If I got the implants and lift done it would have been $6000.00. I went to the DR by myself. I was very comfortable because Dr. Medina is amazing. Everything she said happened exactly as she told me. I would go back to her in a second. My results were amazing and just what she promised. Don't sell yourself short.. there are lots of good doctors out there. You just need to find the right one. If you have any questions please feel free to message me. I will be more than happy to help you in any way :)

Melissa29476
Hello ladies of realself I am having a terrible terrible day :( well I had Brazilian buttlift back in march although I didn't like the results I wanted to start getting other things back in to place after having a child and losing weight so I decided to start looking around & set up a consultation for a tummy tuck & breast lift with implants I called this office that I had previously went to about two years ago because I love his patients results & the lady made me feel terrible like literally sick to my stomach i wanted to ball out & start to cry she said that since I was in before thatll ill have to pay $255 for a consultation which is reasonable & I totally understand but then she said since my previous consultation the doctor feels that I cant meet their expectations!!! I couldn't believe my ears I went totally silent like how can you make someone feel so terrible about themselves we come to you for guidance in improving our bodies to make us feel more feminine then we do now & its like this lady shot me in my face with a sawed off shot gun it was such a blow I am so down right now & I just feel how can someone make another human being feel this horrible about themselves?!?!?!

Wow... sorry to hear this is going on. I feel you once I went back for my three month check up I told him im not pleased with my results he recommends a tummy tuck when I should of gotten that done in the 1st place and on top of that he wants to charge me 6600 for that and also I have fat still left in my stomach from the bbl.. so your not alone hun.

I wouldn't get so upset over what the doctor told you. It's better that they are honest with you so that you don't end up broken hearted like you are now. I just had all my stuff done in the DR. Maybe you should look into doing something like that. I had a TT, BBL, lipo on my back, love handles and flanks for $5300.00 My doctor was Dr. Tania Medina. Maybe she can help fix what the other doctor screwed up. So sorry you are going thru all this. you don't deserve this.

Hello ladies of real self well i am four months post op & this [RS bleep] blows! EXCUSE my language but i am deeply pissed off.. i hate that i went to Dr.Stein he's a lovely guy but he just didn't do what i paid him for, i know it's not magic but i mean come on, my legs are discolored my left hip & butt cheek is extremely larger then my right which is noticeable in anything i wear & that was my first concern the time going in to the surgery room & now its just the same but even worse i am fairly petite but i have so much fat on my body that this guy could have used! i am mad every day about this crap & he just ruined my dreams i don't even have the energy or money to go any further to reach those dreams! I HATE THIS FEELING........ :(

You should consider getting your bbl done in Tijuana, Mexico or the dominican republic just type in "BBL dominican republic" or "BBL tijuana, mexico" and you'll be able to see a lot of women breast augs, tummy tucks and bbl's. The procedure are usually like $3000
