Round 2 with Dra. Robles - Dominican Republic

So I'm obviously well overdue to provide an update. In summary I love my results. I have had a minor but lingering complication with an area opening on my left areola where the incisions meet. I honestly knew this was a possibility from the research I did beforehand and I've been treating it with manuka honey and non adhering bandages. I'm in regular contact with Dra. Robles office and they are always responsive. The right breast is healing perfectly however and I'm already using silicone sheeting and gel on it. I had my primary doctor check my left breast just to make sure there were no signs of infection and he confirmed it was healing ok. Incisions lines are beautiful, as expected with Dra. Robles.

So I'm adding the most recent pre-op pics.

Surgery is a go. After iron shots and IV infusions I'm all set. We settled in 410cc implants.

I'm only getting lipo on my stomach because I don't have enough fat in the other areas I was considering. Dra. Robles really did a great job with my first round. She doesn't expect to be able to get more than 100 ccs out of my tummy so no contouring with a BBL either. I'm not too concerned because my goal wasn't to increase the volume there anyway. She is going to revise my TT scar however which is a huge win for me! Everyone familiar with her work knows she does the best TT incisions around with minimal scarring after recovery. I however messed all that up with round 1 because I wanted to walk upright quickly (even though they constantly scolded me at appts about it and told me to remain bent over in those first days). In any case, I'm ecstatic about the revision.

There are two of us today and I'm not sure but I believe I will be second. Thanks for your support!

So... I arrived in DR yesterday hoping for the best but prepared for the worst.

My hemoglobin level had been hovering at 12.7 for months now, despite my iron regimen. Well, in anticipation of my surgery I ordered a test from Direct Labs and it came back late last week at 11.8????????????. Yikes.

I contacted Dra. Robles' team to ask if I should reschedule or come anyway for iron treatment to see if that would help and they suggested I come. I did know there was a real possibility my hemo wouldn't budge and I'd go home without my new boobies.

Fortunately, by the time I arrived yesterday my hemo was back up to 12.6 and I'm taking iron shots up until my surgery in the hopes I get to 13 or higher. Hopefully surgery happens as scheduled tomorrow.

The ladies I've ran into in the clinic look nice already and no surprise to me but they all love Dra. Robles.
