Dr. Walkiris Robles and Tummy Tucks

ORIGINAL POST

I was looking to have liposuction done by Dr....

$5,000
I was looking to have liposuction done by Dr. Walkiris Robles but, it seems she forces her clients to get tummy tucks no matter how unnecessary it may be. For larger women and those who have stretch marks, tummy tucks are ideal but her gallery has a growing number of women with tummy tuck scars who could have easily achieved the same results with simple lipo. My worst fear was confirmed when fellow RealSelf member "Maryellislove" said she was scheduled, and paid for, liposuction and was talked into a tummy tuck after arriving in DR. Has anyone that's been to Dr. Walkiris Robles had liposuction instead of a tummy tuck or, does she not do lipo at all? Is it true that everyone is forced to do a tummy tuck? I'm not overweight nor do I have stretch marks so I am looking to avoid a TT.

There were two women (out of 4 of us) in my recovery house who had stomach lipo and NOT a tummy tuck, but I don't know if they're on real self. She's definitely known for her tummy tucks, so perhaps there's an overabundance of profiles highlighting her work in this area? I don't know that I would say she forces people to get tummy tucks... those women I met didn't complain of that. But regardless you should choose a surgeon that you feel comfortable with.
I also know quite a few people who didn't have a tummy tuck.
I think they'd rather do the tummy tuck and mr to give you better results...they can lipo the hell out of you but if you have loose skin it's still going to be loose. Yes you can get just lipo no doctor can forvery you to do anything. Say what you mean and mean what you say stand firm in your word while your walking in your talk.
Well I feel she suggestts TT to anyone she sees with a bit of stretch marks, light hanging skin, and a larger abdominal areal. She suggested a TT for me and I have stretch marks but I refuse to get a TT without having children... Dr.Robles and Dr.Almonte have the BEST tt incision/scar in DR. but if you need aggressive lipo/bbl, look into Dr.Duran as she is aggressive with lipo.... Dr.Almonte has also done great aggressive lipo, I have seen a doll that looked as is she wouldve needed a TT but only had lipo/bbl. Good luck xo
Also Yily and Cabral do aggressive lipo and great BBL , but they have some risks under their belts.
Does Robles or Almonte have any risks I don't want to go to a doctor with deaths on their record
She also tells everyone to lose 30 pounds. I notice it doesn't matter how much you weigh. But if you read multiple people story she always tell them 30 pounds
It truly depends on your weight and body type because I'm 182 5'4 and she didn't tell me to lose weight
How was your surgery
Thats not true...my cousin had lipo and amazing results.
I don't know whether it's true or not, that's why I am asking you guys.
Am telling you is not...am going to her because 3 of my cousins been to her this year...she has a woman's touch...I love her work
