Ok I took some more pics at 1 month post up which was July 12th.
I removed my breast stitches at 2 wks post op. I love my breast. I couldn't have asked for better results. I wanted to come out looking as natural as possible and Dr. Pantoja did just that.I am still hard and swollen from the lower back and stomach lipo and I cant wait for that to be over. My waist right now is a little under 27 inches and I think it will go down about another inch or two. Now far as my BBL.... I CANT FIT ANYTHING!!!! :(
I know a lot of women want these huge butts but that isn't what I wanted, I just wanted mine filled out more and boy did he fill it. Though it probably wont look big to some people but if really is. It causes alot of attention especially because my ratio is 27-45. When it starts fluffling I dont know what I am going to do. Right now I am limited to maxi dresses and skirts. I think I should have lost about 15 more lbs before surgery because I would have been closer to my ideal body size. I plan on hitting the gym in about 2 more weeks to try to drop 15 lbs. So that is all I have for right now.

Hi. You look amazing. I love your breast lift. Did your scars heal or are they still visible? To me in your pics it looks like you have no scars at all. I was considering getting a breast lift but the scars got me scared and I've heard it takes up to a year or more for them to be less visible not disappear. It seems like Pantoja does very small incisions to the breast. Do you know if he has any history of malpractice? And did you lose sensation in your nipples?

Hey thanks for the compliments. I do have discoloration but not a thick scar. I am going to use fade cream to get the color back to my natural complexion. I think he does a fantastic job on breast. Far as malpractice; I think most doctors have had unhappy patients and he is not without fault. I felt safe in his hands even though I had read of a few complaints. There are possible complications with surgery that may not be the fault of the dr. All cosmetic surgery is at your own risk and though I REALLY like Dr. Pantoja he isn't without risk.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE your results!!! You look so natural, the hips, the size of your butt, and your waist with your breast...everything to me looks natural. Absolutely breath taking. Even if you continue to lose volume, your proportions are going to be awesome...and think...your waist can only get smaller. I am VERY impressed by this doctor. #happyhealing

Thanks a lot. Though natural is the last thing I would consider my hips to look like LOL!! I do feel however I can get away with it because I have always had a small waist but wide hips, so it just looks like I have been doing a good ab workout :)

Hey ladies I added 2 pics of my breast 2wks post op.
Again I had a breast lift w/o implant. I am suppose to take my stitches out but Im scared :(
I don’t know how to do it, Im afraid I may mess something up and I would prefer for a dr to look at them and make sure they are ready to come out. I am going to price a ticket to see if I can fly back out to see Dr. Pantoja for him to look at them and remove the stitches.

You've inspired me to go to Pantoja. Absolutely perfect results, girl.

Thanks hun! I really like Pantoja. I will say this however. IF you are expecting to come out of surgery with drastic results right after surgery he may not be the dr for you. He puts the fat under the muscle which means your butt will "fluff" around 3 months. I dont want you to go in with expectations of seeing huge results. Let me know if you have any other questions.

How are you feeling? Im about 12 days post op an finally moving around a lil better. That burning tearing isnt as bad.. Im dying to see how my butt changes with the fluff cause its changed everyday an today it doesnt look much different than pre surgery so I hope that whole fluffing idea is true lol.....

I'm so happy for you and your results are phenomenal!!! I love your outcome but now I'm wondering if I should/could be able to get a lift without implants I'd really rather stay as natural as possible... I see alot more research and consultations are in order thanks for all the info

Your welcome sweetie! I love the idea of being all natural w/o implants :) If you have a good amount of breast tissue to work with then w/o implants should give you good results. They typically say you can drop one cup size but I dont think I did. I have yet to try on one of my pre-surgery bra's. I will update once I do and let you know. Good luck on your research

I was a full D before my lift. It is said that you will go down a cup size if you do a lift w/ no implant but I think I am still a small D. My breast look natureal and perky. I am so happy that I didn't get implants.

So I will be 2wks post op tomorrow- I am adding a few pics.
My overall experience has had its ups and downs. The first 3 days were the most difficult due to the lower back lipo. It is hard to describe but it kind of fells like your skin is being ripped from your body when you move. The swelling is a b&@ch!!! My stomach and lower back are still very swollen as well as my arms. I bruise easily so I do have bruises on my thighs, abs, arms etc. I have been sitting on my butt since day ONE!! I have to protect my breast and cant sleep on my stomach for that reason. Im not to worried about the outcome of my butt because my breast are whats most important. I do not have a huge butt which is great because I didn't want one. I opted against implants because I want my body to look natural. I have big hips but I feel he gave them more shape overall.

Also, I heard about the Pantoja patient who was at Beauty Care and had some major complications; prayers and well wishes go out to her and her family. This surgery is no joke ladies. I dont know the cause of her complications and I am not speculating but ladies please make sure you KNOW if you are a good candidate for surgery BEFORE going. I had ALL of my labs done a month before surgery and I consulted with my local dr about my overall health. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE dislose ANY health conditions or concerns with the Dr's, its in your best interest.

I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Pantoja and his staff based on my own personal experience.
If you have any questions for me please feel free to ask.

I love my tummy but recovery is going slow. I'm ready to be out and about but my body won't let me. I am still draining about 100cc per day so I have not taken the drains out yet. resting for the next 2 days to see if that helps. I just feel like I look very wide. I don't care about having a BIG butt but I cant fit anything since my but is so wide. I understand about the iching because it has hit me in a bad way. Benadryl helps a lot.

Hey hun! I left you a message the other day. I am sure you look fantastic! I think it takes some getting use to. For example my hips are WAY wide. I cant fit any of my prior clothes if it doesnt have some form of stretch in it. Though he doesnt inject into the hips he does something to make them look more round and fuller and now I have to buy all new clothes :( or drop about 15 lbs.
