Hello Dolls, Barbies, Kens, Ladies and Gent,
I previously and still have an old review when I was between choosing between Dra Robles and Dra Duran ( I didn't go to both of them) so this is just my updated review on this doctor and I felt like I needed to start this new instead of using my old review, so if you see repeat pictures from another review that is my review. I do help I am able to help ladies make their decision through my experience and I do plan to keep up with my post and updates. I have a few so far to post since I've had my own personally journal.

My journey into surgery aboard has not been a decision easily decided, and between searching for doctors, money issues and other various things. I ended up postponing my surgery for a whole year (although now I can look back and feel glad that all things happen as they are suppose too and not when you want them too).
Last year I wanted Dra Duran to be my doctor because of her amazing BBL’s and the shapes she gives but with some incidents with some patients and NEVER being able to get into contact with her, I decided to go to Dra Robles, I absolutely love her tummy tucks but her BBL’s are less then satisfactory (IMO and please take no offense), but I want to see a difference and not just from swelling. So once again I was back and forth between doctors and making a decision that I would be completely happy with it. I wanted someone (or at least their assistants) that I could reach pre-op, and someone who didn’t have such high patient load, I also wanted to see improvement in my body and the procedures that I would be spending my money on.
My friend and I decided on Dra Tania Medina, the reason that I picked her was because
1. She only sees two patients per day
2. She only operates 3 x’s per week
3. I can always get in contact with her assistant and or her
4. I feel in my gut she is the right choice.

I am going for a Tummy tuck, lipo, bbl and I only plan to stay for eight days, wherein I will come back to the states where my family, private doctor can watch over me. I will also be staying at serenity and I love communication with her, fast and easy, reasonable prices and she worked with me (I actually changed my date to a sooner date). I am having surgery done March 11, 2015. I have many wish pics and I hope that I don’t overload her with all these wants that I have for my post op body. I also know that I am working with a lot of stretch marks so even if I am never able to wear a bikini again, at least I KNOW I’ll look good in a damn body suit, lol. Unfortunately my friend canceled her surgery and I am now going alone.

So now I am going to list all my products purchased for my trip and the cost (most of these items…basically the majority were brought off Amazon). I tried to list the prices but most of them I did not remember and it was a lot, also I believe going to your local discount store you can find the majority if not all of these products and at a more reasonable price.

Hello Hun :) When are you going? I said the same thing, I want to know I'm coming out alive and a lot of these doctors has turned into body factories instead of doctors, plus I'm not wanting the build a body look. I just want some curves, a fuller booty and get rid of this gut. I just can't wait until I'm there, the days are literally dragging lol....

Hi pinkcutie85 I will flying in on April 5th or the 6th my surgery date is on the 7th. I'm not nervous at all right now giving the fact that I never been on a plane and out of the country. I email and text her and her receptionist and they respond promptly so I know dr Medina is a great pick...and I agree with you 100% like you said (I want to come out a live) And if I have any complications I know she's gonna respond ASAP and not days later because she's overwhelmed with patients. I'm waiting for my passport now after I get that I will be booking my flight I hope to get it by March 14

I will def try and post as much as i can while i am down there ( depending on how good i feel). I feel the same way I love the fact that no matter what, I can get to them, i don't feel rushed or annoying and I feel like if something is wrong immediately she will do what she has to do. Gosh when ur getting ur passport i will be a few days out of surgery ( haha i just got nervous again). I wish i could not be nervous like you, but i get so excited and then I am like I hope i can get what i want. I guess overall i am just really happy, it almost feels like a new beginning!!
