Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

3 months & 3 days post-op!
So it's been a while I don't update since my arm and chin lipo. I am feeling good, no tenderness, pain or discomfort. Bruising is completely gone aswell!
I dropped 16 lbs since May 2016 getting ready for my next trip to get snatched and (protecting my investment lol)!....only problem now the skin on my arms is flabbier than I would like it to be! No buenoo..... Am I 100% satisfied with results, NO,.... but is it an improvement, YES! So in the meantime I actually have found a surgeon for my upcoming trip in April 2017. I have my quote, I'm confident in him, and he has great photos, feedback & qualifications ....Dr. Luis Mejia in Santo Domingo, DR. This time around I'll be having a tummy tuck, liposuction of back, flanks and BBL!! Yay so excited! Here are some photos of me now with arm and chin lipo done.

8 more days until I'm in D.R-- Anxious & Excited!!
My nerves want to take over! Good thing I am very confident in Dr. Manuel Marte. He is so graceful & professional. Always responds the same day via Whatsapp, he has reassured me a ton of times that I will be fine. And because I have had a heavy prolonged period for nearly a month now. He recommends I don't follow through with a BBL. I respect him for his honesty. So for now I will be having chin lipo, fat injected into frown lines around my mouth & possibly arm and back lipo. Next year, God willing I can return for my BBL & TT. Packing and preparation has been hectic! Will try to check back in when I land.
