WORTH IT$4,000
I'm 39 yrs old..5 ft 5 inches and 70kgs and had my one and only child (now 21) when I was 17 and I think because of my young age my stretch marks were severe. I have never felt happy with my body as very prone to cellulite and weight gain and now before I hit 40 I want a better looking body and to have the confidence to date again!
Ok..so 8 yrs ago I had a breast augmentation...taking me from a 34B to 34DD.
Five weeks ago I had a tummy tuck and liposuction to abdo and hips...my final procedure before I hit the big 40 will be a butt lift with fat transfer from back, thighs arms.
I am very happy with the tummy tuck results and cannot wait to improve the rest as I have a flat, square butt and damn fat thighs...plus I need toning lol...once my recovery from tummy tuck is complete I will aim to tone up before transformation in September this year.
BTW..I live in the United Kingdom and have researched many places to have the butt lift abroad as really expensive in the UK...so came across Comfort zone Cosmetics in Istanbul Turkey...fantastic reviews of the surgeon, staff, location and cost...
I have been obsessed with real self for months now and really want to be part of the realself community as its super supportive and helps other people with this whole process.
Butt lifts not common procedure in uk but joined this site now I want a better butt and hour glass definition!! I cant wait!!

To DR or not to DR...that is the question????
Ok...so as I said previously the bbl is not a common surgical procedure in the UK, I read about two drs in DR that produce fantastic results dr Medina and Dr Rafael Estevez who by all accounts take great care of their patients and are great surgeons....but long way to travel and would the fat graft survive ten hours on a plane and 3 more on a coach. ...ahh what to do???

Hi there mrsirish...yes I have looked at his work and it seemed really good, he quoted me around 5600 pounds and I am considering him....but just had a quote from Dr rafael estevez and he quoted me 2400 pounds and I love his work...though DR is quite far??
Are you really excited??? When is your surgery hun?

April 30, 2014
I'm just seeing your message sorry I don't be on here as often. I just couldn't travel that far I feel alot safer in Europe. By the time you pay for flights extras recovery house you'd probably spend 5 grand is that other Dr in the Dominican Republic.?

Hi, I live in London and I am thinking to go turkey for a bbl. How was your experience? Do you know a good doctor you will recommend?

May 22, 2014
Hi, I was going to turkey but decided on the dominican as I could not see any pics of before and after bbl's.
When I was researching turkey the two companies that stood out were comfort zone and revitalise in turkey. Hope that helps hun. :^).
May 22, 2014
Hi, thank you for your reply. When I research I also get the same... What surgeon in Dominican republic will you be going to? How much is it for a BBL? Do you know any website that does does affordable flight and hotel deals? Sorry for asking so many questions. I have searched alot and dont seem to find a reliable doctor also feel scared incase of complications later

May 22, 2014
Yes but complications can occur anywhere..I had a breast augmentation in Birmingham and had a few issues and from my home in cardiff it was still two hours to travel to see the surgeon. I have had a tummy tuck in poland which took two hours to fly to!
I think researching your surgeon is key! I am going to dr Baez as she does great surgery a bbl with liposuction to stomach arms legs and full back is 1700! Flights are 650 and accomodation Is about 300 for ten days. I am going alone which is scary but I really want a better body and I think dr baez will give me that!
Let me know what you decide hun.
May 22, 2014
Sorry to hear that. Yes it is true regarding complications can happen any where. I just looked at flights to Dominican Republic from London the travel time seems to be 50 hour 1- 2 stops. Her price seems reasonable but just journey time put me off. I was looking in to Miami dr mendieta or Dr salama but there prices are quite high for BBL. Although there work also looks good. How much travel time is it from cardiff to DR? Is it a direct flight?

May 22, 2014
I'm flying from heathrow on the 31st and its 14 hours there with one stop and 13.5 back with one stop for 650 with cheapoair...thats a great deal! I dont want to be hanging around in airports all day lol...when are you thinking of going?
May 22, 2014
ok yep thats not bad. Dr Yilly in dominican republic has some good reviews also. my mind is all over the place right now. I am trying to find a good surgeon and try to stay in europe. looking at spain circumed marbella clinic but then again the price is high. seems prices in DR seem cheapest. If i come across good deals, surgeons i will let you know :)

Hi, just checking to see how you are. DoD you manage to go to DR? If so, how is the result? I'm thinking to go to DR Robles in Dominican may be end of this year. How was the plane journey?

July 16, 2014
Hi there, I haven't gone yet I am going the 31st of august to either Baez or Cabral. Nearer the time I will update my review and let you know how it went. I am going alone and will stay in a recovery house initially then move to a hotel.
How's your plans going hun?
July 16, 2014
Hi
Are these both doctors you mentioned in DR? I am thinking to go miami with DR fisher looking at December 2014 onwards. I am currently in studies and dont want to be taking too
much time off due to the procedure recovery. would you be flying from London heathrow?
I was looking to go DR but I feel scared heard some of the doctors dont speak english. I was looking in to DR walkiris robles in DR. What made you choose Baez or Cabral? what are there BBL quotes?

July 16, 2014
Hi, yes flying from Heathrow to miami and then onto DR. I have also looked into vanity and dr hassan, but ultimately I like the shaping by cabral but a little dubious of his reputation. His quote was for 3500 dollars. I like Baez cos she does good work and has a great reputation as a caring doctor. The quote for Baez is 3000 dollars.
I have booked with both and will decide nearer the time.
Its so difficult to decide and yes I'm nervous of going alone but am determined to do this!
