I'm Going with Dr. Robles- Follow my journey :)

Hello ladies,

After lurking on this site for more than two years I figured now is the time for me to start documenting my journey as I have finally decided to have surgery. It is ironic that I work for a plastic surgeon in my city, but have made the choice to travel outside of Boston and have Dr. Robles perform my procedure. The surgeon that I work for is good, but Dr. Robles seems to have the art of a womans body down to a science. She really knows how to create that coveted hour glass figure that we all so desire. I think that the Dr. that I work for is going to be disappointed but hey, atleast I'll be able to have him look at me if any issues arise (GOD forbid). Anyway I am a 28 yo mommy of two; a 13 yr old and a seven yr old. I love them but they have ruined my body. I had my first when I was very young (15) and I've never been able to actually enjoy the body of a young woman because he did all of the damage...Stretch marks to the moon and lots of loose skin. My breast never grew full and perky, They actually developed downward which is weird. I remember my first boyfriend (father of my first) when I was 14 asking me why my breast sagged, it was embarrassing...and child birth and breast feeding only made things worst. I was married at 20, and my husband that I was with since 18 yrs old loved my body, but now I'm newly divorced. I'm still young and sexy but my stomach and breast keep me from being uninhibited when I'm with a man. I think that if I'm going to do this, now is the time. I wont upload pictures now because I know that during my search it would annoy me when there were only before pics. I do however want to share every step of this process with all of you so that I can be a help and even an inspiration as so many other real self stories have been for me.

Yesterday I contacted Dr. Robles office and received a swift response from Laura Castro the plastic surgery coordinator. She had me answer a few questions and complete a questionnaire. She then responded by informing me that I am a good candidate for surgery and asked me to send pictures of the areas that I would like to have work done on. I am 5ft 4" and 140 I'm active, eat well and am in pretty good shape but I need some things tweaked. I am going to have a tummy tuck, breast augmentation liposuction of my back and sides, and fat transferred to my butt. Stay tuned guys as I plan on keeping you all updated every step of the way.

So I've been in sporadic contact with Laura. She is very very slow at responding to my texts and emails, It's very frustrating. After submitting my photos laura responded. She stated that Dr. Robles said "I could do a very good job on her body to improve it" but would not do a tt,bbl,ba, and lipo together, that it is too much on the body so I have to pick between my butt and breasts. I'm going to let her do my butt, and have the plastic surgeon that I work for do my boobs. I also received the quote - the all inclusive package for $5,200 includes -Medical Fee's: $4200

I'm conflicted I like Dr. Robles' work. She does a great tt but Duran does a wonderful bbl I'm still in the early stages but I'm not sure who I should go with. I'm afraid of cipla just because alot of bad things have happened there... idk these are the pics of what I look like now I think Robles would do a great job what do you guys think?
