Hi dolls,
I want to get a BBL for 2 years now. Here in Europe the results for BBL suck! You pay a lot and you almost don't see any differance. So I decided to go to Dominican Republic or Colombia. Colombia is really too far away (flight is 16 hours), so I decided to go to dra. Tania Medina in Dominican Republic.
I chose her because she was the best at communicating of all the plastic surgeons in the DR (she answers every message the same day), I love her results and I haven't read any negative comments about her so far (no deaths as far as I know). I spontaneously booked my flight and payed my deposit. If I'll not go right now, then I'll never do it!
I'll stay at the Tropical Deluxe recovery house. Their prices are lower then of other recovery homes and they have a pool and a beachview.
I'm soooo nervous!! I'm concerned with all the deaths in DR after surgery. What do you guys think about my decision?

Thanks, I will post some before and after pictures and also pictures of the recovery home. Someone from the recovery home is picking me up, because it's included in the price you pay per day (you have to pay $100 extra for Medina's driver). They told me to send them a picture of me and how I look like before going on the plane. We keep contact through Whatsapp. I also hope everything goes well.
I would also be concerned if I'd arrive at midnight. I've been to Santo Domingo two times before and I'd advice you not to wear any jewelry, don't put any money in your bags (hide it somewhere) and also to stay at the airport until they've picked you up. It's also better that people don't know that you're not from there. In my case it's a little harder (I don't look Dominican at all). It's all just in case!
I'll review everthing!

4th day post op BBL Tania Medina
NLdollJuly 16, 2016
Hi dolls,
I wanted to let you know how the surgery went. I had my surgery with Tania Medina this Tuesday. Everything went well. It was better than I thought. After surgery I didn't have that much pain because of the medicine they gave me. I wasn't feeling that bad. A private nurse (Nubai) stayed with me and she was awesome. I'm also happy with the results. I'll post my pictures later. I only had less feeling in one of my legs, but after a few days it was gone. So that was fine.
The recovery is another story. They day the first 3 days are the worst... Well the first 3 days weren't that bad. I have a lot of liquid build up and bruising now and that's really hurting!! I had 3 massages and they are getting more painful every day. The liquid that is inside of my back and stomach burns like hell and the have to push it out of your body with the massages. It burns so bad!! I had to push away the nurse who was massaging me a few times, because it was hurting so bad. The second time I had a massage I almost fainted by the way. They took out the liquid in the hospital with a syringe, but I still have a lot of it, so they made my faja (garmet) tighter. I cant even move or sleep like this. Tomorrow they will try to take out the liquid with a syringe again. I don't really know what to do now. I try to drink a lot of water and walk around for the circulation. What can I do else?

Hope you are feeling better my dear. I'm due to see Dr Medina October 20th. Did you take any medication for swelling like Bromleian? Or drink Pineapple juice. That helps with swelling and inflammation. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
July 17, 2016
Thanks so much! I forgot to take Bromelain with me. I'll drink more pineapple juice instead. Have a great journey! I'm sure everything will turn out great!

Do you have a buddy I was looking for someone to go with around this time.let me know and we can go together
July 17, 2016
Hi did you have any lipo done on your thighs? I noticed the bruising and swelling in the pictures
July 17, 2016
I'm having her to perform lipo there on me and was wondering if you would post before and after pictures.
July 17, 2016
No, I had lipo on my stomach and back. She did inject more fat on my thighs, that's why I have the bruising. The bruising is also on other places that arent lipoed because my skin is very sensitive. Ill put before and after pictures in a week. She is great. I'm glad I chose her.
July 19, 2016
I had the same problem with the fluid. Annie (that does the massages) said that the fluid build up where you have to most fat. Ask them to do it with a syringe. That crap burn so bad I actually cried when medina did it but it didn't hurt at all when annie did it. I had fluid in my lower abdomen and lower back. When I got home I purchased my own syringes and had my friend who's a nurse drain me and it actually helped with soreness and the stiffness. Good luck girlie! It'll get better the more you drain.
July 19, 2016
Thanks so much for your advice! I'm really having a hard time right now, a hard time to stay positive as well. Every piece of support really helps. I didn't knew about that it hurts most where you had the most fat. I'm also taking your tip on to order syringes. Thanks so much!

Review Tropical Deluxe recovery home
NLdollJuly 28, 2016
Hi dolls,
So I'm finally back home. I feel so much better already. I almost don't have any liquid and the bruising is for 80% gone. I'm very glad I chose Medina. Ill review her later. Now I'll review Tropical deluxe for you guys. There were things I liked and things I didn't like at all.
Things I liked:
1. The apartments looked nice and were very clean with a beautiful beachview.
2. The food was good: 3 meals a day and 1 snack.
3. It was very save. Every room had a camera. I haven't heared before that other recovery homes had cameras.
4. They were flexible. I booked a double room, but it was too noisy for me so I asked for another room and they gave it to me without any problems.
5. The owner (Ruth) was very nice.
Things I didn't like:
1. They switched up our medicine by accident. Please doll, take your own medicine no matter where you go.
2. The driver was rude and he had a cheap car with no good air. He tried to ask me for more money (10 dollars) for bringing me to the supermarket, which was 5 minutes away from recovery home. He didn't do that to other girls. I never payed it.
3. Almost every day there were problems with the electricity. The air and wifi were switched off a few hours a day.
4. The daughter of the owner was trying to sell the medicine and a second faja very bad. I'm sure she asked more for it than they actually cost. She never gave a receipt for anything.
5. They didn't have emergency buttons in the room.

I'm planning on staying here in October... Thank you so much for the imformation.. I'm also using the same Dr..
August 1, 2016
How did you take the rest of your payment to the doctor, did you take that much cash on you?
September 13, 2016
You're welcome! I took all the cash to the doctor. I was concerned taking all the money and arriving at the airport in the DR. When you arrive at the recovery home, just keep the money with you all the time and hide it until you've paid the recovery home and the doctor (it's mostly just 1 day before you have to pay).
September 13, 2016
Don't put it in your bag. Just hide it somewhere in your clothes. Good luck with your journey!
$18.000 for the same procedures is extremely high! I would never do that either! So many women travel to DR to have plastic surgery and women from the DR do it too, so why can't we do it?
My Home Recovery looks good on the pictures. The prices are a little higher than of Tropical Deluxe. The prices of My Home Recovery start at $75, while the prices of Tropical Deluxe start at $65. I booked a double room. I chose Tropical Deluxe because of the prices and seaview & swimmingpool. I don't want to have the feeling that I'm locked up in some room lol. At least I'll have a good view :). I don't know if they offer a private nurse. They do have some VIP packages. You could ask them. This is their Whatsapp nr: +18299708435.
Your surgery will be on my birthday by the way :). Mine will be on the 13th of July. So that's in 1 week! I try not to think about it at all. Good luck with your journey and I'll write a review about mine.
I would also be concerned if I'd arrive at midnight. I've been to Santo Domingo two times before and I'd advice you not to wear any jewelry, don't put any money in your bags (hide it somewhere) and also to stay at the airport until they've picked you up.

I'll review everthing!
