Hello Dolls!! I am a 33 yo wife & mom of 4. With my last pregnancy I was on bed rest from week 18 until delivery at 36 weeks. Thank God my son made it!! However that did a number on me and I have not recovered!! Can't totally blame my beautiful children but I will say Prior to kids I was ????????????!! Banging anyhow.. I'm ready to get my body back and have been ready for the last 2 years. I, like most moms put everyone & everything before myself. Well I told my husband when I get my bonus it will be spent on me and me alone & he is supporting that totally & should I decide to out of town, DR or Colombia he will be by my side & promised to take me on a shopping spree after..I am considering several doctors I'm very undecided. I like several doctors both in DR, U.S. & Colombia. The only doctor in DR I'd consider is Dr Fatima she's the boom not that others aren't just my preference. In the U.S. I've been looking at Dr Fisher, Dr Hartway or Dr Bryant. In Colombia I've been looking at Correa, Sacritian & Villalobos. Colombia is a new area I decided to review because I saw another RS doll asking some questions about medical tourism in that area & she mentioned it was cleaner and higher standards (same/similar to US) with DR prices. Any one have any pros & cons to help me with my consideration?

Dr Fatima Almonte was a very polite women. I wish there was more conversations with her and less with Lesley (who by the way is nice too) because lesley makes promises or tells you things that I felt perhaps Dr Almonte was not aware of. Overall good experience with the doctor herself.

There is plenty of us dolls to follow on here. I will be seeing Dra Almonte in 2 days and I've only read positive feedback on her. I never looked into Colombia but I bet they have some doctors that do some beautiful work too. I like to see what negative comments are posted about the doctor and see if they have consistency. You can't please everyone's personality.

I would def choose to go to DR or Colombia for surgery instead of staying in the US .. I've had two surgeries in the US and I wish I would of spend half the money and gotten better results over seas .... I visited the DR last year and omg it is sooo beautiful and way more modern than I expected lol another great doctor to consider is doctor Julio Molina MD ... If your thinking about the DR.... Colombia I don't know much about but I have seen work online / Instagram etc .. And they do a wonderful job as well.... Make that leap don't be scared ... Don't do your surgery in US you'll more than likely end up spending more money later on....

Hi Sassy, i was evaluating your pictures and i saw that you have a lot of fatty tissue on your abdome, flanks, back, and flaccidness on your belly. Therefore you have indication for Liposuction of your abdome,flanks, back, Fat transfer to your Buttocks and the Tummy Tuck. Those procedures will cost you 4,300 dollars at Clinica Bonilla or 5,500 dollars at Homs hospital.

Raul thanks for your comment..I have some questions 1.) what's the difference between the hospitals? Is it just one is more expensive than the other? 2) Do u work with certain recovery homes? Is that cost included? 3) How much more to add Lipo to the arms? 4) how long would I need to stay in DR? 5) do you use a drain? If so how many? 6) do u use general anesthesia? Have patients woke up during the procedure? 7) how many procedures do u perform in a day? 8) would I be going to the recovery house right after the procedure or over night stay at the facility?

Sorry for all the questions but I couldn't find much information about you that was self explanatory. I have saw your pictures and they are really nice just need additional information.
You can email me ccronk04@gmail.com

Thanks for your time!!

Hi Sassy!

The Homs hospital have more Luxury and is more expensive than Clínica Bonilla.
I work with The Wellness Center at Hodelpa Garden Court Hotel. You could look the información about this hotel and ask for the Wellness Center prices. This Recovery House is not include it in the quote i gave it to you. If you want to dad Lipo of the arm it will cost you 4,600 dollars at Clínica Bonilla or 6,000 dollars at Homs Hospital. After the Surgery you will stay one night at the Facility.
You must stay at DR for a mínimum of 14 days in order to received your Linfatic Drainages Massages to reduce the edema and swelling that comes with the surgery and also for been able to take out your stitchess before you leave. The Anesthesia that i normally use on that procedures is Epidural Blockade with endovenous sedation because the patient doesn't feel pain and have lesser side effects, therefore the Recovery is most faster than General Anesthesia.
After a Tummy Tuck i normally use a Hemovac Drain for 5 days for eliminates all the solutions used for the Liposuction and prevent Seromas (Liquid).
The Quantity of procedures is normally depends on the General Health condition of the patient and if those procedures can be combined: for de Example you can't combined a Breast Augmentation with a Buttocks Augmentation because after those procedures you can't lay down or press the implants for a minimum of 72 hours.

When are you planning to come for your surgery?

Sincerely,

Dr. Raúl Pérez.

Dr. Perez,

Thanks so much for being patient and answering my questions.
I have taking time off work the first week in March. We are only able to take 2 weeks off for vacation at a time and I'm out of vacation until March. Not sure I could do a full 14 days.
Ps I was asking how many surgeries (people) you do in one day..but the other information was helpful also. I will look into the hotel.
Thanks again!!

Hi Sassy , 14 days is the ideal time. But if you come from 12- 14 days i could perform your surgery.
If the Surgery is a combined procedures, i just performed one per day.

Sincerely,

Dr. Raúl Pérez.
