WORTH IT$4,630
The Brazilian butt lift surgery with Dr. Hector Cabral is set for January 17th, 2017.

I have booked an 11 night stay at Essence Recovery Home ($1540).

My flights are booked with an overnight layover in Newark, New Jersey. I wish it were possible to fly directly to Santo Domingo from Calgary.

I am nervous about flying so soon after the procedure! I've just ordered Dr. Miami's booty buddy and I hope that it will be good enough for the flights.

It's a cushion designed to help you keep the pressure off of your butt and hips after surgery. For 6 weeks after surgery you need to protect the areas that have had fat transferred to it otherwise the fat may be reabsorbed and it'll have been wasted. Some women use a boppy pillow (a nursing pillow) but I found the booty buddy to be the best option for eating meals, driving, the air plane ride, etc. As for Dr. Cabral, he was amazing. I think a lot of our outcome depends on our post op care and pre-existing conditions. I saw with my own eyes that may of our surgery sisters don't follow the post op rules like trying to fly home before the recommended 10 days or not using antibiotics prescribed or not disclosing their health issues like asthma or previous surgeries like lap band surgery. I guess surgery is always risky but do remember a lot of your surgery safety is in your own hands.

I used his contact number +1 (809) 707-2325 to WhatsApp message him for a quote. I wrote it in Spanish using a translator. I also emailed him at hcabralplasticsurg@hotmail.com. At the time they didn't require a deposit. They said call a month before. When I contacted them a month before surgery they said they gave away the date because I didn't send a deposit. I sent the deposit through western union right away and ended up getting the desired date. Try calling their between 9 am and 4 pm DR time as well. They may be booked up for months because it's tax season. Good luck!

Supplies... how to get Percocets??

So I didn't want to wait until the last second to get all my post surgical supplies in order. I'm staying at the Essence Recovery Home and they advertise that all you need is an overnight bag for your stay.

So far I bought:

Compression socks (for the flight home)
A small portable safe
Arnica Montana tablets
The Dr. Miami pillow
The BBL pillow with the optional extra inserts

The maxi dresses I'll bring are ones I have had for a few years from American Apparel. Tank tops for under my faja are cheap and comfortable from Costco. Everything other than the Dr. Miami pillow and the BBL pillow were ordered from Amazon. The pillows I ordered directly from their websites from the US. I did try the Jolly Jumper pregnancy pillow from Walmart but decided that it didn't provide the right support for the butt! They are sooo comfortable for sleeping however!!

I'm worried about pain management. Is it possible to buy stronger pain meds like Percocet in Santo Domingo?? When I had my breast augmentation I got off the percocets asap. They made me tired and constipated! I was able to get by with Tylenol for that surgery but I suspect the bbl surgery is more invasive so Tylenol won't be enough. I don't want the pain to be unbearable! My family doctor is very conservative so I don't think he will help me out with a prescription. How do I go about making sure I have strong pain medication??

Surgery Date Wasn't Confirmed!! ARG!!

I'm so annoyed! I was told by the owner of Essence Recovery Home that my surgery date was confirmed for January 17th 2017. I had my flights booked and I even had a hotel booked at the airport for the 12 hr layover. Now I'm finding out that there is a new policy that there must be a $200 deposit sent before your surgery is locked in. ARG!!! I'm so frustrated because I wanted to lock in my surgery since September but was told that they didn't even start booking into 2017 until December. I'm frustrated!!!

So I've sent the $200 USD and I'm told that they have January the 24th open. My flights and the hotel are non refundable so I guess that's $900 + 160 + 160 = 1220 lost!

I will wait to hear back from Maria if the 24th is confirmed before I go ahead and book a new flight :( The only upside is that I found that Sunwing and Air Transat fly directly from Calgary. I will have to drive 2 hours from Punta Cana airport however :(. It's still better than being on the plane for more hours and 1 or 2 layovers.

So much for planning ahead!!
