First off i would like to say i LOVE this site.. I have been trying to find a Doctor to do a tummy tuck and breast aug for the longest and i am undecided between Dr. Robles and Dr Almonte.. I love both they work but i am starting to lean more toward Almonte now reading reviews. This is alot of money that is being spent and also dangers so i would like my choice to be the BEST choice! I have attached my most recent pictures and also my wish pictures. Do you guys think all i need is just a mommy make over to be like my wish pic and ALSO anyone that has went to Almonte please give me ur thoughts i hear her nurses are great and she is too!

I received my quote and for the tummy tuck and breast augmentation it will be 6000 that is with the medicine recovery house and all.. But i only planned on staying in DR for about 7 days so i can go back to work and not use all my vacation. So im looking for another recovery house she said its 400 for the meds and garment so im willing to purchase that but need another place to stay for only 7 days not 10. Do you guys know any good places close to the doctor??

It will be better to stay in Dominican Republic for as least 2 weeks for any complication them go back to work six weeks after the surgery

Ive been going back and forth with each DR. I decided since i have been getting the best customer service with Robles assistant i will stick with her. I also decided on just getting the tummy tuck for 4300 and not the breast augmentation. I will get the breast later since i will be using my income tax. Anyone looking to go in mid February early march?

You should! I would love to have a travel buddy/surgery partner. Kinda sucks to go through this by yourself.

Yeah, seems like having a travel buddy/surgery partner will make this trip/journey less nervous. I'm scheduled for Feb. 19!
