WORTH IT$4,050
I'm a Southern Belle living the Cali Life, always been the "Cute but Chubby" friend with the gorgeous face but mediocre physique, BUT ALL of that is about to change. I need my inner beautiful to be reflected on the outside as well. I'm currently working out and living a lo-carb lifestyle to get to a healthy and safe weight before my planned surgery date in possibly January or February 2017

Switching my surgeon, it was a hard decison but the right one for me
Although I am still in love with Dra. Duran's sculpting techniques and her results, I am just not very comfortable with how busy her clinic is and how hard it is to be able to reach someone to discuss things (scheduling, quotes, dates, etc). I know for sure that they are BUSY BUSY BUSY, but my concern is that if I were to go and have my procedure, have a peaceful recovery at my RH, then return home and have some type of complications, I would have the HARDEST time getting in touch with someone to ask questions or voice my concerns.
This caused me to research some more and I came across Dra. Fatima Almonte. She doesn't seem as popular as many of the other go-to BBL surgeons, but her work is still BEAUTIFUL. I’ve had the most effortless access to her Assistant, Lesley. I sent a Whatsapp text expressing my interest at 12:34 AM on a Friday. And she responded by 7:04 AM that same morning requesting that I email the information with my front, back, and side images via email. I emailed her on that same afternoon and had a quote by 5:30 AM PST Monday morning. We have corresponded several times since then and each time it takes less than 24 hours to get at the very least, an acknowledgment that they are working on my inquiry. I will post some information from my quote letter here as it may be helpful to some future dolls. I will however be removing any account information to protect her privacy as much as possible.

Sounds familiar . That's the same quote I got !!
August 29, 2016
I just picked my surgery date today, it's soooooo far off since my surgery buddy/sister is a school teacher and can't do anything until summer. I guess the bright side is it gives me time to get all of my affairs in order. Lord PLEASE bless me with some patience because heaven knows that's not my strong suit.

Ok .. I email Lesly on a date for December but have gotten a reply yet . I'm not patient either . I was also corresponding with Baez as well but . She took too long and I just opt the Fatima and he review are good. No fatality ..

Do you only e-mail or both e-mail and whatsapp? I send my message both ways and she (Lesley or Mabel actually) either emails or messages me to let me know she got the message and will get back to me or she just answers the question.
