Tummy tuck +lipo + BBL 3 month recovery
* please be aware you need 3 months recovery.
This 10 day recovery is [RS bleep]. 3 months in pain and discomfort. So plan to stay out of work for at least 2 months. You will not want to go to work.
You wake up. Like a truck ran you over every day.
Faja needs to be on all day and night for first 3 months.
**these lymphatic massages are not optional. You need to have them in order to feel better and heal better. Swolleness goes down with massages. If you dont have them, your body stays swollen and hard!!!
You need more than 10 massages. About 50 depending on your body. The more massages the better your results. They are painful!!! They are pricey.... so be prepare to pay for them. Range from $45 to $58 per massage. Most places want you to get a 10 massage package.
I wasnt aware of any of this....
Im 1 month post op. I almost fainted today while getting the massages.
You need to sleep on your back for 3 months. No sex for a few months.
Be aware. Most girls go get procedures and think in 2 weeks they can go back to work. You will be miserable.
You need to change your second stage faja. Like within a week after getting massages. Swolleness goes down and so does the size of your faja.
You can take faja to a cleaners to get it smaller. Not every cleaners knows how to do this.
I took mines to brooklyn ny. Guy made my large faja into a small. Even though i bought a 2nd pair. Because washing it and letting it dry. I dont like to be without my faja. Casa de muñeca in brooklyn ny has the cleaners info on their ig.
This recovery is long... and annoying

Day of my surgery bbl +lipo + fat transfer
Could not eat or drink night before. After 10pm.
Nurse woke me up 530am. Driver picked me up at 630am.
We arrived at the clinic 645 am more or less. By 705 i was already up in my hospital room. They took the other 2 girls getting surgery up to their room as well.
The lungs doctor came. Check my lungs sunce i told them i smoke a cigar maybe 3 times a year. Ladys dont lie about this because if you smoke there are other things they need to give you. To protect your lungs.
Anesthesiologist came explained everything. Asked questions.
Then right after a female nurse put my ivy on. Then a male doctor came. To ask questions.
Everything happen in 30 mins. Then robles came. Marked me up. Asked more questions.
I forget to ask robles if i go in first. So i called tavarez robles assistant. She told me. Mines would be at 2pm.
Sure enough 232pm they brought me blue pill. And 2 mins later. The transport came to take me to the operating room.
Moved over to operating room bed.
Saw the doctor put medicine in my ivy.
And that's all i remember. Lol
I was up around 7pm. Had conversations drank a juice but i wouldnt remember that.
I literally just remember that this happen.
Im fully aware of everything since about 9pm i would say.
Nurse comes in about every 1 to check on you. If you dont have anyone. They have someone stay with you. Which i found to be very nice.
The ivy i dont even feel it. (At the recovery house they say that at the clinic they are beast and it hurts. So not true from my experience. Juana the women who does ivy here in clinic is very gentle. I didnt even feel it.
I needed 2 blood transfusion and 4 iron [RS bleep] after surgery.
Because my hemo went down to 9.
So bring extra cash ladies!! Everyone is different not everyone may need what i needed. But anything can happen during surgery that you may need extra things.
When you are at virginia house. Ask for monica to do your ivy or shots. You dont feel anything.

Arrived at airport in santo domingo. Had to wait...
Arrived at airport in santo domingo. Had to wait for driver. My flight arrived 8pm on a monday.
Driver took me straight to lab to get my cbc. Had to pay $110 (which is part of $ for procedure. Driver said they will deduct it once i pay robles).
Then we went to the recovery house. Virginia house. Just a regular 2 story house. About 6 girls there. Everyone very nice. Love the 1 to 1 attention.
Next day we found out my hemo was 12.
Robles WILL NOT do 3 procedures with 12. You need a hemoglobin of 13!!! (I did not know this)
I was offered iron treatment at the recovery house. Which i did for 2 days. They re checked my hemoglobin. It went up to 12.2 after 2 treatments. Treatment for 3 days was $200 dollars.
Tavarez robles assistant said robles will do 2 procedures if i like. I decided i would do iron treatments until saturday and check my hemoglobin again on sunday. If my hemo is up i can have surgery monday.
I arrived monday 8pm. So basically i just wasted a whole week of recovery time just in iron treatment.
The recovery house is very helpful. They give you beet juice and cook liver for you. So that your hemo goes up.
From what i heard. Is better to ask for a list of things you need (for iron treatment) and go to a pharmacy and buy it yourself. Is cheaper than ordering thru the recovery house.
So far i have no complaints i just wish i knew that my hemo had to be at 13 before coming.
Oh and as soon as you get on a plane your hemo drops. Make sure your hemo is at 13+ before coming here.
The recovery house ask you for $300 usd for supplies you might need. Again cheaper if you get it yourself.
You need at least $2,000 us dollars extra aside from surgery money.
Im waiting to see my results sunday. Will keep you posted.

Saw doctor Robles 2nd day in the country. She saw my body and told me what would look nice. She looks very nice and calm. She seem like a meditation person, so calm and peaceful.
