After finding Dra. Duran online this week and sending a message via WhatsApp, Facebook, and an email on Thursday evening (1/30), I heard back from her a FEW HOURS later with my quote! I was very excited as you can imagine because I have read on here where girls have waited weeks to hear back. I included my pics via email and asked for a quote for a Tummy Tuck, Liposculpture, and BBL. I also asked for a quote if I were to include my breast. I was quoted $4700 ($6500 if I also get my breasts done). I called Friday morning (1/31) to speak with Elizabeth (her English speaking office worker), but she was not there. I struggled to understand the woman that I spoke with (I speak VERY basic Spanish). It took us awhile, but I was able to choose the next available date which was July 22nd. When scheduling for that date, she asked my name (I spelled it just to make sure), how much I was quoted, and if I had any questions. I think that I will call early Monday morning and try to get Elizabeth just to confirm that it was scheduled with no mistakes (because of the language barrier). My mother, who is also my travelling buddy, sent her pics and emails the same days that I did and has not gotten an email back yet. She also called and spoke with Elizabeth and explained the situation and was told that Dra. Duran checks them on Friday, but she still has not received a quote (today is Saturday). We are worried because she explained to Elizabeth that we were doing this together, and I got a quote and scheduled, but she is still waiting. Because we have already booked our RH based on the fact that I got the quote and scheduled. We just knew that hers would be coming soon after. I even emailed a reply to Dra. Duran Thursday night when I received my quote letting her know that my mom is my traveling buddy and emailed her pics for a quote too with the email address, but still nothing. We are hoping to hear something back soon so that I don't have to change my date. We'll see. Other than that, I am SUPER excited!!!!! I sent my deposit using a bank to bank transfer via the instructions given by Dra. Duran's email. I am so excited! Can't wait to be a Duran Doll!!!!! .....Just have to ensure my mom gets her quote soon so that we can travel together.

Mom Got Her Quote Too!

Well, she resent her email on Saturday evening (2/1) around 7:15 pm (8:15 pm DR time), and received her quote from Dra. Duran about an hour later! She was super excited because we really wanted to ensure that we would be able to travel together. This morning, she called early to speak with Elizabeth while on her way to work (around 7 am our time), but Elizabeth was not there. She went ahead and scheduled her appointment with the same person I did and said that she asked and double checked that I was scheduled for the 22nd, which I was. I had already emailed Dra. Duran about my scheduling concern Saturday and she emailed back that same evening assuring me that the date was reserved. We will both have surgery on July 22nd! I already sent my deposit and will be booking my flight this week! Can't wait to be a Duran Doll!

That'll be a comfort to be there with your mom. Hopefully she'll start her story here on RealSelf, too! I don't know if we have any other mother-daughter teams here! Here's a supply list for traveling that might come in handy. Keep us posted!

Thank you for the list! It is very much appreciated. I'm not sure that she will post, but I'll try to convince her...especially if we are the first mom/daughter duo!
