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.

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.
My list of packed items: (Remember to check your airlines luggage size & packing info)
1) Gauze (pack of 10)
2) Self Adherent wraps (to keep gauze in place)
3) Ibuprofen 400 mg (recommended by Dr. Marte)
4) Mosquito repellant
5) Sunscreen 50+ SPF
6) Aloe Gel for skin
7) After sun cooling lotion
8) copies of my itinerary, passport, hotel addresses
9) light clothing (capris, shorts, button up blouses, t-shirts,) a sweater just in case
10) 4 pairs of sandals, one pair closed walking shoes
11) Sun glasses (2 pairs)
12) contacts / solution
13) unlocked phone, charger, headphones (saved important numbers in it before hand)
14) earplugs
15) maxi pads / tampons
16) luggage tags (amazon)
17) travel size shampoo, conditioner & deoderant
18) bar soap & loofah sponge
19) flat iron & heat protector, detangle brush
20) Vaseline intense skin care lotion
21) light make up pouch (bronzer, lipstick, mascara, eyelash curler)
22) packed 2 swimsuits (just in case shhh! lol)
23) 3 bras
24) Passport in my carry on bag along with ID & itinerary. (copies in check-in luggage)

*** Remember tourist card fees at airport per person----- on arrival: $10 dollars (in cash)---- on departure: $20 dollars (in cash) ...A lot of airlines include the $20 departure fee, see your airfare receipt. United Airlines included the fee on my receipt.
