Just Another Flat Butt Story - Dominican Republic, DO

WORTH IT$2,800
I'm an athletic 36 year old who believed the squat hype. No, sorry, I did a bazillion of them and my but is a little harder, but it's still boxy and flat. I am an exotic dancer in Las Vegas, so I actually see a lot of perfect butts. Lots of girls own getting work on it too, which definitely helps as far as research, but also gives me major butt envy. Since I'm only getting older and I want to stay in this game for as long as possible, it's time to get some work done. Again.

I decided on dra baez mostly because she has the credentials and actually replied to my emails. Plays august is really slow for work, so I wanted to get it done relatively soon. I don't know how I'm going to handle the wait as it is!

I'm mostly concerned about the weight gain. I have to work hard to keep my weight down. I live to eat and and not blessed with a fast metabolism. My job requires I stay in good shape as I've been put on probation before. I was 155 then. I'm 140 now and Dra Baez says I need to gain 10 more. I do want a juicy butt, but it doesn't have the be bubbalicious. I'm 5'9".

So hopefully this review can help some of the lanky girls out there who are scared of gaining lots of weight and don't necessarily want a badonk. I didn't see many of those. I'm also getting arm lipo even those my arms look okay right now, but they blow up easily, and I don't want that busty bruiser look when I gain. Plus extra harvested fat is good, right?

You look so good, congrats on doing exactly what you wanted. You work hard and you deserve it. I need a revision and I am trying to schedule that within 2 months. Welcome to RS. I can't wait to see your result! You will be making all that money :)

Thanks. I'm happy with most of my body now. It's pretty annoying that I gain weight in all the wrong places, so I either have to choose skinny and no butt or having a huge gut. I've been trying so hard to get a butt through exercise alone and it's a challenge. Plus the little bit it did make is really hard, muscle. It's not that juicy butt that everyone loves.

Yea, I think the squats giving you a butt must be false cuz I've been doing em forever and I just have a very firm flat butt LOL.

Congrats on your upcoming surgery with Baez! She's a great choice! :) She's one of the safest surgeons in D.R. and her results look natural! She won't give you a ridiculously huge fake looking booty. And like you said, she's good with responding. She only does two patients a day so she has time to give her patients the attention they deserve.... So how long do you plan to take off from dancing to recover/heal?

I plan to take off a whole month. I may work with a waist cincher on too if I still am bruised or healing. I hope that should be enough time though. August is terrible anyway. I love having a legit excuse to take it off.

@GlutallyChallenged - Yeah, I think a month should be enough :)

@30'sDaNew20 - Thanks for the suggestions. I've seen/read reviews of both :)

I am a little confused. Are you happy with your results? Did you have a glut implant or fat transfer. Did the unevenness go away? What is the abdominal incision from? Thank you so much and best wishes..

Beautiful results hon! laughed at your squats comment. :-) All they did ever for me was build huge quads ...still with no booty! :-( I know this is your BBK review but, your breast before and after look amazing too if you don't mind me saying. Did Baez do them as well?

Surprisingly a lot of support so far

I attached a pic of my butt from a few years ago before I focused on butt building exercises. There is a difference but it's hardly noticeable.

I was totally excepting to get a lot of negative feedback from friends about this surgery, but most are supportive and some are excited. Not that I'm looking for anyone's approval, but I am excited about it. Even my sister is looking into going to DR for a tummy tuck. I wish we could go together, but I want this surgery yesterday and she's still trying to lose a few more lbs.

I'm also looking closer at the girls I work with who have the whole teeny waist and big butts and I wish more were more honest about it. Most are Latina and are part of these Spanish speaking work cliques and it's kinda awkward for me to be all, "so who did your butt?" I wish I could take pics of their butts to show you without being a total creeper.

And seeing the way guys are drawn to it. I'm very excited because most guys don't even have a clue that such a procedure exists and basically it just means money. Men love ass.

This is what she sent me after first saying she couldn't do surgery unless I gained 10+ pounds. I notice a lot of ladies saying her quotes include massages. Not anymore.
____________________________

Price for the surgeries that you are requesting, liposculture to arms, abdomen, waist, back, flanks plus Brazilian butt lift (including hips) is US$ 3000 dollars, which includes:
-Airport pick up (from SDQ airport to my office or hotel)
-evaluation by plastic surgeon
-Cardiovascular evaluation
- Laboratory exams
-Anesthesia
-Surgeries
-Overnight stay in the clinic
-First compressive garment
-Free of charge follow ups (transportation not included)
-Medication post-surgery (antibiotics and analgesics)
- Lymphatic drain massages and ultrasound massages are not included, cost is 300 dollars extra
You must be less than 180 pounds or around that in order to have surgery and diminish risk of complications. If you have any clinical condition you must obtain clearance from your doctor, if you smoke you must quit two months before surgery and have clearance of your pulmonologist. The amount of fat transfer to your buttocks depends on how many cc can be extracted with liposuction. Your results also depend on your hemoglobin level if you want to get excellent results you really have to be healthy and no anemia and please ask your primary can doctor to take some blood test like glycaemia, full blood cell count and creatinine at least to know if you can have all surgeries done. You can begin to take vitamins once your surgery appointment is near (Iron, Vitamin C and B12 plus Folic acid are very helpful).
Important info:
Your date for surgery is important because I work from Monday to Friday (days for surgery are from Tuesday to Thursday). I just have one patient per day, you also have to arrive one day before surgery to be evaluated and have lab work done, and if you are arriving early it is better for you because lab test can be done from 8.00 am to 6.00 pm.
Medication included in you package are antibiotics, analgesics and gastric protection medication, all drugs provided are given to take by mouth, but you will have to buy Enoxaparin, water pill and creams for bruises and any other medication not previously included, medicines aren’t expensive here so you will spend less than 150 dollars. Massages are not included. You should bring compression socks to wear them after surgery. Your compressive garment included is a Fajate or Mariae’s brand item if you want one more garment cost 120-150 dollars. You will need to buy a stage two faja 5-7 days after your surgery so if you want you can bring one or buy it here in a faja store.
I work with a team, my cardiologist will evaluate you and my anesthesiologist will examine you and discuss what type of anesthesia suits you right, you might have epidural block or general anesthesia. Anesthesiologist and cardiologist have the last word about how many procedures can be done safely on you.
If you are aiming to have a breast augmentation, there are several brands of breast implants but all are silicone gel cohesive, texturized implants (Silimed, Eurosilicone, and Donasis) depending on the brand you choose then your quote might be lower or higher, (Silimed is the most expensive brand as we do not have mentor implants anymore). If you have breast surgery at the same time with Brazilian Butt lift, you have to know that you could face some issues with the projection and volume of your butt after surgery as you will have to sleep over your back.
PLASTIC SURGERY IS NOT THE SAME AS WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY; YOU HAVE TO BE INSIDE NORMAL RANGE OF BMI (BODY MASS INDEX) OR JUST OVERWEIGHT TO HAVE SURGERY. IF YOU SMOKE OR USE ADDICTIVE DRUGS YOU MUST QUIT THEM ONE OR TWO MONTHS BEFORE SURGERY AND TWO MONTHS AFTER TOO IN ORDER TO GET GOOD RESULTS AND NO COMPLICATIONS. PLASTIC SURGERIES ARE FOR HEALTHY PEOPLE OR THOSE WHO HAVE ANY CLINICAL CONDITION BUT ARE UNDER CONTROL, IF YOU HAVE ANY DISEASE YOU HAVE TO CONSULT AND GET APPROVAL OF YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE SURGERY.
We are located in Santo Domingo (capital of the country), Dominican Republic; the nearest airport is Las Americas International Airport (SDQ). I work at Instituto de Cirugia Especializada, the clinic is placed in Gazcue neighborhood (Address is Bolivar Avenue 208, suite 405, 4th floor), and it is near to hotels and colonial zone; my cellphone number is 18098908143 and office number 18096899342. If you need transportation or a recovery house, there are several in Santo Domingo areas; I don’t work with an exclusive recovery house and i don’t have a preferred one, these recovery house are near clinic: Yasmin, Armonia and Daisy. You can hire a taxi driver at a recovery house, from my office or from yellow pages, a round trip from my office to the place you are staying it costs about 10 dollars. Recovery houses are the best place to stay as they can offer all services but some patients don’t feel fine staying there. You can stay in a hotel but you will need to come with someone else so that person can take care of you. You will need to come to my office for follow up 2-3 times during your stay in the country. This is a link in Google maps with the location of my clinic.

You will have to stay in Santo Domingo from 10 -14 days depending on the surgeries you will get. You will be able to get back to your work in two weeks (average). I know some English but I can’t speak fluently, my assistant will help me in your evaluation to have a better communication.
Quotes are good for 6 months after that cost might change or some items could not be included. I just accept payment in cash (US dollars) for your surgery. It is not necessary to deposit to my bank account to lock a surgery date, you just have to confirm your surgery 3 weeks before traveling here but you can if you are willing to do it. You can transfer total cost of your surgery if you are willing to when your date of surgery is close.
I don’t have paypal account and I don’t like to receive money by western union as I don’t have enough time to get the money. Once you deposit the money you can send me an email and i will confirm that everything is ok. If you have a problem and you need to have your deposit I will charge you some money for transfer and electronic consults (around 100 dollars) but the rest I can send it back to you. Questions or doubts about the price or the elements included in your surgery package just email and I will reply as fast as I can but please try to send all of them in just one email in order to make things easier for me as I receive several emails in just one day.

Sincerely,

Yeah, your wish pic is realistic. I'm sure Baez can give you a nice realistic booty. :) ...And your boobs look real! Lol! ...I wish more girls (including celebs) would be more honest about their procedures too.

Okay, I thought she did two patients a day, and I thought her quotes included massages. Thanks for sharing.
April 16, 2014

Some do lol. I found if you give them a compliment on "losing weight in all the right places" you get more honest feedback.
April 16, 2014
Hi I'm post op 2 months and I had to gain 10 lbs and was very upset about it and when I got there she said I didn't have enough fat so she did my arms and thighs to find fat I'm glad she did. DR Duran did my surgery

April 16, 2014
Do you wish you gained more or are you okay with more lipo? I think having thinner thighs and arms would be better, but I haven't been there.
