43 Years Young, 4 Kids, in Much Need of a Mommy Makeover....time for an Upgrade!!! - Dominican Republic

WORTH IT$6,540
I’m 43 years young with 4 kids and in much need of an upgrade!! I’m 5’7 and weigh 182 lbs. Trying to lost 15 lbs before I embark on my much needed mommy upgrade. I look good in my clothes but when I take them off, everything goes south. I’m interested in getting a TT, BL with implants (300cc) and lipo (back and inner thighs). I’m not looking to have a video vixen figure, but a natural look. Here in the states a PS quoted me $13,400 ($1,000 discount) just for a tt and bl with no implants. So I started doing some research and decided I would go to the DR for my upgrade without downgrading my wallet. I’ve decided to get my upgrade after tax season, maybe August or September. By then my hemoglobin should be at 14 (PCP is working on that). My top 3 doctors are Mejia, Almonte and Medina. If any of you dolls have insight, tips and/or experience with any of these doctors, please share…..

Good choice in doctors. I've seen his work first hand and he does really good work and his customer service skills is great.

Congratulations!!!! I will be following your Journey..bc I'm having the same thing...but only a breast lift...Question???? Where did you find your Stage 2 fuga...I been looking all over the web...but nothing says stage 2...also how do I know what size to get...

I've been seeing the compression garment on amazon. Another young lady that's been to the DR posted what they sell to us. I put it on my wish list, when I get there I will ask what size I need, then go online and order it. It should be at my house when I return home. I'm fine with wearing the phase 1 until then if it saves me some money.

Ok...I think that would be the best way to go

I went with my niece to the DR so she wouldn't be by herself. Dr.Almonte was her doctor and she was simply awesome. My niece was very pleased with her work and I thought she did an excellent job as well. My niece had full liposculpture and a Bbl with the fat that was taken from lipo. I plan on going with Dr. Almont but I have to get my money together first, lol. I hope this help.

Dr. Mallol

I've chosen Dr. Mallol because I love his work. He was my second choice until I contacted a patient of my first choice. She was at the rh and I asked her has she heard of Dr. Mallol. She told me two of his girls were there with her and they looked great. After researching him etc...I made my deposit!!
