Saving up money for mommy makeover from Dra Walkiris Robles - Dominican Republic

Hello all :) This is my first post on RS but I have lurked for years. I finally have the courage to look outside the US for my procedure because I have been quoted $7-9,000 in the US and ... still have not come up with the money (and as my username suggests: You Only Live Once). A few friends of mine have had surgeries by Dra Yily and have not had any complaints. I emailed her, read many reviews, viewed her Facebook, and followed her on Instagram ... now if only I could get her to reply to my email from 4 business days ago for a quote.

In the mean time, I wanted to see if there are any ladies out there who have had a BL/BA done by Dra Yily. 98% of the reviews I have found are centered around lipo, BBL, and TT. I would GREATLY appreciate comments from those who've had her breast surgeries. Would you let her do it again? Are you satisfied with your scars and nipple appearance? How much were you quoted? I have seen some that aren't impressed by her breast work but I've taken a look at other DR doctor's galleries and the results seem just okay at best.

I understand that having multiple surgeries saves money but I'm also hoping that if nearly full body lipo, BBL, and a TT are running some of you $5000 that a BA/Full BL won't be more than $3000 max. Here's to hoping!

Please feel free to PM me with reviews or your own pics :)

I'm so glad you're no longer a lurker but an official RealSelf member! You're right, I do see that most of Dr. Y's reviews are BBL and BA. It will be nice to hopefully have a review like yours as I'm sure there are other women who might just be interested in a BA. 

Be sure to comment on other member's reviews so they can easily find you and give you their feedback and support. Looking forward to following your journey. And be sure to post some wish boob photos so the community has an idea of your goal look!

I've been on RS everyday for the last week looking at results and reading through progression stories. To the vets who will read mine and the new ladies who will add their own to this site, the completed stories are invaluable!

I haven't updated mine much because I find I'm personally more interested in the stories that have surgeries shortly after beginning the blog then later the periodic photo updates about their healing.

I will say that I originally planned for a BA/BL with Dra Yily but after receiving her quote, I realized that it would be best to add on other procedures because the additional cost would be minimal. I don't remember exactly what the quote for BA/BL only was but it was around $3500. That's fantastic still considering what I have been quoted in the US but adding a TT and additional lipo (arms) was only $1300 more, I figured I needed to rethink this.

In rethinking my plan, I realized that Dra Yily does great body work but seems to be less consistent with her results probably due to the recent increase in cases she's taking on. She's also very hit or miss with her boob jobs and with my luck ... well, you know.

So I looked at several Dominican doctors and am confident (currently) that I want to go with Dra Walkiris Robles. Even the "worst" TT result I've seen on here would still make me very confident and I haven't come across any boob job of hers that was unacceptable. Scar quality and placement is very important to me.

I received an all-inclusive quote from Robles for $6000. This didn't include the $200 RS discount for mentioning having a RS account. Once I have saved the money (could take 6 months to a year barring any unexpected financial blessings), I will request another quote.

I will update this review once I'm ready to make a deposit with my own personal and wish pics. In the mean time, happy posting/researching ladies (and gents)!

How Do I Use This Site?

My posts don't seem to come up in searches. I posted a question in the Tummy Tuck forum three days ago that I cannot find. Besides a community manager encouraging me to post more, I've only gotten responses to comments I've made from 2 people. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of interaction here ...

I emailed both Dra Yily and Duran with no response. I chose Dra. Robles after seeing her work on her FB page and seeing the feedback on RS as well. She is very sweet and her (or her assistant) answer all my questions within hours. To paint a better picture I initially made contact a few days ago and have already booked my surgery for June 27. One of my concerns is that I will be going alone. I am scheduled to arrive in DR June 25. I am just a mixed bag of emotions right now LOL

Yaaay! Very exciting. I will be going alone as well when the time comes but after reading a few reviews from her patients, I'm not worried. I'm going to head over and read your posts about your upcoming trip. Please keep us updated!

Same for me too. I was scheduled for a TT with a US doctor, but something told me to read a certain post about DR. I never thought I would go on my own to a foreign country but here goes.

I posted on your review as well. I have anxiety and being worked up for days is the worst. Unless you have something specific that you're worried about, finding a way to relax is your best bet. I take valerian root (natural herb sold where the vitamins are) and it works for me though you should ask the dr prior to taking any medications so close to surgery. Otherwise, trying to get more sleep or some other distraction (hanging out with friends/family, etc) may help get your mind off things ... as much. Good luck :)

Oh and depending how this goes, (God willing I come out ok) I NEED a BL my girls are sagging :-/ I hope you find some answers! You are correct all the reviews are centered around this BBL phenomena its so crazy I never envisioned I would be a part of it but it just makes so much sense to me to remove fat where you do not want it and strategically place it throughout your body to create a more curvy silhouette. Sheer genius!!! LOL I am not getting BA at this time but hey I will offer any guidance I can as well. Cheers :-)

I feel you on that. Me neither it didn't even cross my mind for a BBL. I look at Kim K and Nicki Minaj and that's all I could think about when getting a BBL and it looking unnatural. Dra Robles suggested it herself and I said hey why not if it will look natural.
