Hey dolls, so I finally made up my mind after 2 yrs and I'm gonna go with Cabral. Woot woot! I just need help with picking the best RH that also allows males. I need to find an RH before booking a flight. Or have you ladies stayed at a hotel and hired a nurse?? Any suggestion is appreciated so just inbox me on comment below. Thanks y'all .

So I had surgery on May 11th with Dr.Cabral. I was so excited to finally have a smaller waist and kapow bootay!????. Little did I know I wasn't prepared mentally for this. So I got to his office at 6:30am and they wasn't opening till 8am, I was pissed but oh well! So at 8:30 he came in, called my name and it was marking time. He said I have a nice body and he was going to give me a much sexier body. I was like a kid in candy land. After meeting with him I was told to go get and x-ray and blood test to make sure I ain't sick or pregnant which was on first floor, then had to go 3rd floor to the cardiologist to make sure my heart and everything was in check. After that I went back up to pay for the surgery with Maria, she's such a sweetheart. After taking care of everything it was time to go into the surgery room after taking the blue pill. Ladies that pill only too 7mns to knock me out. I think it's Cz I was nervous the night before and barely slept. SO THIS IS WHERE IT GETS INTERESTING. I woke up in the middle of the surgery!????????????????, I could feel him sucking the fat outta my back and I was honestly just taking to him. I told him to give me a perfect booty and he was okay mami, you will. And the anesthigiologist knocked me out! I woke up like around 8pm . Keep in mind I dint go to the surgery room till 10:30. And i don't know how long the surgery lasted. The night before I prayed asking God to put me in his hands and not to let anything happen to me, because some of the ladies that have had surgery with Dr.Cabral , never woke up(God rest their souls in peace),some had untreatable burns. So I'm glad I'm alive today. I just had one major issue with him and I was so upset that I had to confront him, he got too close to my siatic nerve and it hurts like no other. After surgery like around 2am in the morning I started to feel the pain in my leg, and I was like wtf is going on????. So I called the nurses at the hospital to ask them why is my left leg hurting soo much????????????? None of them had any idea, so u just asked for pain meds with had to be put through the iv and some injected in my leg. So that morning me and fiancé,( thank God he was there to console me through all emotional roallercoaster and help with anything I needed). We was staying at realrecoveryarmonia where Mayra and her staff are the best. You will not go hungry or thirsty in the house. They're took care of me so well but I got tired of there menu Same food everyday till I knew the trick. If you're going to stay here and want something else to eat, dont ask, just say u want to eat this, I promise you, they will go buy whatever you want and cook it for you. Also they make fresh juices for you. Felt like I was in heaven which took my mind off the pain. So first day booty was huge, I literally had no pain in my ass or back just my left leg because of the siatic nerve. The 4th day I was walking a lil better butt still limping. The 5th day they took my drain out! WHAT A RELIEVE ????. The only areas I got lipo is full back and love handles. He dint touch my stomach for what reason idk, and I'm still pissed about that! If I'm not wrong, I think he was scared after I woke up during surgery so he had to hurry up??? I really don't know the exact answer. I stayed at the recovery house for seven days and flew back to U.S . Now the struggle begins of not sitting on ur ass! It's still had now that I'm 3 weeks in. I have fullness on top of my ass but at the bottom is flat ????????????. I'm super mad right now, which makes me want to do another procedure. Overall my experience in DR was great but will never go back. Ladies do your research first before picking Doctor. A lot of ladies warned me about Cabral but I never listen now I'm stuck with this pain forever.(siatic nerve) . I made a mistake of trusting him with my body but I guess you can't believe what some of the Doctors tell you, esp the ones with numerous cases or death and burns or something. Next surgery I'm going with Salama or Hassan. I'm going to get my stomach and thighs done.

I don't know if you had your surgery yet, but be careful...I know for a fact that Hasan has some deaths under his belt too...
November 27, 2017
Furthermore..I would be concerned with all those surgeons in Florida with the uptick of fatalities they've had recently!

Exactly! Beware and there are several doctors that still practice after having their licenses revoked. It's crazy, People need to do more research.

Hi, when are you planning to go? Are you planning on going to Cabral as well?
June 15, 2018
Plz dont go with him (CABRAL), every single person that go either died or got infected some how . I had surgery with Dr lopez collado 2years ago and i loved him, he take care of his patients and your safety is his priority I am not saying to go with him but DO NOT GO WITH CABRAL.plz

Cabral has terrible reviews, please try to stay in the US just in case something happens we have hospitals everywhere.

Jesus I'm Dominican and I would never have any surgery there! Please come to Miami the prices are the same and if you run into any issues you are in United States still.
November 8, 2018
Mel Ortega in Miami, but there are more this is after California the 2nd capital for cosmetic surgery

September 12, 2018
I was considering the DR, but I will go with the reviews. I seriously doubt that Miami has the same prices!
