Hi dolls,

I want to get lipo and BBL with dr Tania Medina in DR.
I have been doing research now for about 6 months and I really like her work and I also follow her on Snapchat and she shows her surgeries etc. I don't want to do an extreme butt. But nice and perky, small waist and flat belly :)

She sent me the links to a recovery house - my home recovery.
Has anyone been to that recovery house? How was your experience there?
I am not sure I want to to go there or to a hotel.

As far as dates, I am looking into end of July. how long do you have to take the vitamins and Iron?

Thanks in advance for your reactions. I appreciate it.
Much love

I just had bbl and lipo with her back on 4/20 and I love my results. Very natural looking. Medina is an angel! I love her. I stayed at my home recovery. The nurses there give you a schedule for your meds. You take them for 10 days after surgery to prevent infection and blood clots. My home recovery was nice. I went alone so they were a lot of help.

Thank you for your reply. I will post pics tomorrow or later today. I need to crop my face out. Lol. Do you also have pics? And how was your flight experience after 10 days. And how are you feeling now after about 5 weeks? Do you still have pain or are you still swollen?

Thanks in advance

Yea I'll post pics after my massage this week. You'll be very sore and swollen but it wasn't unbearable. I still have some swelling and numbness is my stomach and a little burning in my lower back from the lipo but the faja helps A LOT. It's uncomfortable at first but you'll get use to it. It gets better each day. My butt never really hurt. It was just sore. My flight back wasn't so bad. I sat on my boppy pillow. Walking through the airport was a bit exhausting though because my faja was so tight and I was sore. I only stayed 7 days. Drink lots of water cause it helps flush the excess fluid. I got massages everyday while there. The massage therapist, Annie is the bomb and her body is the bomb too! Lol she said areas where you have the most fat removed tends to accumulate more fluid that'll need to be drained. I had a lot in my lower abdomen but she trained me with a syringe that didn't hurt. It really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

I saw My Home Recovery while I was here. It looked very nice, spacious and had hospital beds. Also plenty of nurses. The girls there said staff there spoke very little English.

Oh ok. Well as long as its clean, has AC, wifi and if there are nurses I think I should be good. Where did you stay? And did you go to Dr. Medina as well??
August 27, 2016
I went to Dr . Medina. She did a good job on my bbl and lipo, except she left a fay roll under each shoulder blade (saw it after my swelling went down). My results look good- even after an infection/necrosis in one cheek. I stayed at Spa Jacqueline. I recommend My Home Recovery or Roccio Ortega based on the other girls met there. Good luck! !!

Hi love, I read your review. ANd to be honest now I'm scared!!! A TT without you requesting it?? that is harsh. And your infection...that is just such a pain! I only read really good reviews about her and now I'm really scared!! :(
August 27, 2016
Dr. Medina has had other patients get infections. I don't know if it's her "fault ". But I do know if she had tested me when I complained initially, it could have saved me a lot of serious pain and fat necrosis. She does good work, but her post--op care was not good at all. So if you have any signs of complications or feel particularly weak, severe pain, fever, odd-color discharge- make sure she tests and treats you asap. She seems like a nice person, just lax on post -op

Hi I hope your feeling better now,just wondering if the sent you quote for procedure you didn't want.
September 1, 2016
Just wondering has anyone else received a quote for things there not asking for,and to i supposed to reply to that quote and they send other information I'm lost.
September 1, 2016
Dra Medina ' s quote included lipo with and without bbl and also with and without tummy tuck. Before surgery I had paid in full for lipo & bbl only.

I'll be going to her in December. I haven't started vitamins or anything yet, I'll be following your journey.

Thank you doll. I will keep updating once I have more info and when I have pictures

I'm also going in December I'm scheduled for December 1st
August 31, 2016
I'm scheduled for December 5!! Are you staying at the recovery home she suggested!!

My daughter and I went to Dr. Medina for a Bbl& tummytuck , we were happy at first but when all the swelling went down those smiles turned into frowns!! Granted her BBL was OK not what either of us wanted however the tummy tuck which seem to be good at first turned out to be a disaster it's flat at the bottom when I say bottom I mean below your navel and above your navel you have a pouch your stomach protrudes I was so unhappy that I went back to her a second time for corrective tummy tuck she said that she removed one additional liter of fat from my stomach OK well six months later the pouch is still there so my belly is flat under my navel and above my navel it looks like I'm about three months pregnant so I went to a plastic surgeon here in Chicago who told me that whats protruding is scar tissue underneath my skin where she did the so-called surgery so I'm just letting you know Our results were less than desirable to say the least and it's A damn shame because I had to make two trips to the Dominican republic and still I am not satisfied so at some point I'm going to have a corrective surgery done here in the United States to remove the scar tissue that she created so just be aware do what you want but I'm telling you our experience good luck !

The recovery house is very nice she owns it and has English speaking workers there however she tells you they are nurses but my daughter and I are RNMSN, and those young ladies are the equivalent to a Cna in the United States . They have no degree a few women got sick when we were there and they didn't have a clue what to do but call Dr. Medina who called an ambulance that took them to the hospital.

Did you have muscle repair? Did she say wether you had any muscles in ur upper stomach to begin with. Bc thts normally the only way ur stomach would be still sticking out after a tuck. I'm asking bc some plp who have hernias don't have any muscle left to work with.
May 27, 2017
Yes sir , I did have muscle repair and No I never had a hernia. This was simply a Blotched job !!!!

I finally have a date. I just made my $500 deposit. I wanted a date in August/ September but the doctor said she was full. So next available date was October 19th. I took the date.....
I must say I am excited and nervous at the same time. I promised to upload pics. And I will, I need to dwnl them from my phone and I had to take more recent pics....

Anyway so far Dr Medina's response is quick. I talk to her via e-mail and via what's app and she answers all my questions. I like her so far.
Now it's time to start taking the vitamins. I bought, Vit C, Vit B6, Vit B12, Iron and folic acid.
So far so good...I will keep you updated.

Let the countdown begin !! 82 days to go :)

She replies within 1 day. She will make sure you get the details for the deposit and any other questions you may have.

I was wondering the same thing but I've seen different responses, I know she advises 2 days before but I've read of ppl going the day before. For me I think imma go two days before it just makes better sense since. Cause of the flying and hemoglobin and also because of the blood work, and x rays, and stuff like that
User Avatar
August 4, 2016
Yes she advised 2 days before. I guess I will go ahead and do that. I will have to figure out if I can stay at the recovery house or at a hotel when I arrive. Will you also be going in October to dra Medina?
August 26, 2016
I would go at least two days before, so you can get settled in and a good night's rest before surgery
Also good idea to find a doctor back at home for post op check up/care

Thank you for your response. I have my ticket now and I am going 2 days before.

Do you have to convert any money over to their money? IF you don't have all your money 4 ur sx date, will she give u another date?
