2017 summer
WORTH IT$3,999
My motivation for doing a tummy with lipo on the sides, was because after kids me three kids your stomach muscle is gone well in my case that is! My stomach felt heavy and it was hanging so I felt uncomfortable and not to mention self conscious, I chose Dr. Matos not only because if you look at her work is natural not over done, and because she came highly recommend by three of my friends. They praise her as they have gone more then once and said if your going to Dominican Republic she's the doctor to go because her known statement safety first! Is an actual FACT! I said this is my doctor because I have kids and safety is my also number one. I contacted her and she was so kind, and always responded with all my 100000 questions lol never made me feel like I was a bother or over asking. She takes the time to get to know you. She makes sure before you travel that your health and your physical is update, and prepare to send that to her. She's very by the book to ensure you safety return. I don't have family here and I asked if she recommended any and her response was so heart warming. She said don't worry you are in good hands. She recommend Disca which is 5 minutes away from the hospital. They pick you up from the airport and drop you off, the house provides a nurse around the clock, your meals and for the first 7 days your on a diet that includes natural juices to detox and accelerate your recovery, they provide all your meals, bathe you, massages to relax you, stylist to do your hair and nails. This place is safe as you will be staying right behind the ex president so sexier is high ( guards outside at all times) honestly a home away from home. The ladies are wonderful they go on beyond to make sure you well taken care of. I'm so happy I decided to go with Dr.Matos she exceeded my expectations. She comes to check on your everyday to ensure your recovery is going as planned. She's a hands on doctor and as busy as she is you would never tell because she makes you feel like the only patient. She's exactly as she was described. I feel if your traveling to make this amazing life changing surgery. She's the doctor to choose and the recovery house she recommended is the house to stay. Now will describe the surgery pain and what to expect. The tummy tuck doesn't hurt you will have discomfort because of the drain you will need to carry along for the amount of time she recommends, and by discomfort I mean you have to hold it or drag it like a newborn... now lipo hurts you feel stiff and in pain, that's when your massages become in handy. The first three days will be the hardest because your stiff and in pain of the lipo, but after that you start to feel better and the pain disappears discomfort remains. And honestly it goes by so fast! Then you start to see your results! And wow guys she's the real deal! She gives you a shape that your like how ( pics of before and after of me to follow) I recommend this doctor 100%. She protects you like your family..

Hello, I also plan to have Dra Matos do my surgery. How are you feeling post op? Your advice is much needed. I plan on having a mommy makeover

I'm now 15 days in and I feel great!!! Swollen which is normal drinking lots of fluids, my wound is almost healed, i can assure you that your in good hands. She's very professional and very protective of her patients, I stayed at the recovery and she went to see me everyday which was great! You will fine. Just make sure you take allergy pills and take a good hydrating cream, take a stool softener and take it a day or two before and drink lots of water before and after it makes a world of diff.. good luck any questions let me know what to take what your unsure about.

What was your height and weight when you went in for surgery?
May 23, 2017
You will be happy with her trust me, tomorrow marks a month, and I feel great! I'm still swollen but ofcourse that's expected but not as much anymore. She's very professional, her bed side manners is amazing! You are in good hands. Please take allergy pills to take the minute your out of surgery cause the faja itches like no one business, also take a hydrating lotion to put all your body, not sure if your staying a recovery house if not take gloves, small and medium gauzes to clean your wound and drink water like crazy before and after trust me it helps allot. Pain level is really low she will give you all the necessary meds (she's very reasonable on the tests you will need to do and the meds ii need after, take vitamin c anything you need to know I'm here and be more then happy to answer all questions

Looking to do tummy tuck age 70. little scared . your information is very clear.

I say do it! Do whatever makes you feel beautiful. I had an amazing experience so choose your doctor wisely! The doctor I chose came highly recommended, she exceeded my expectations, honestly the worst days at the first 3 days not so much pain cause that area is numb you won't feel any pain is the I can't get up easily. So make sure you have help after that is smooth sailing. If you have any questions dont hesitate to ask!! If you decide to go to Dominican Republic my doctor is the best in her field.

Is this a real review. No pics or responses. I am starting to second guess some of these reviews.
May 31, 2017
And you are who? to be questioning anything if I don't feel like putting pics up that's my business if you don't like my post keep it moving... no one is contacting you to get surgery done with the doctor I did it with lmao!!! So believe it don't believe it I don't care....

I guess my comment warrants an apology. I'm sorry. It wasn't my intent to offend you. Real Self is a forum where women share pics and seek help before making a very critical decision to undergo surgery. Since you appear to be the last patient of Matos on this forum we are seeking your help because there aren't a lot of pictures of patients. We like what we see from her, and she is very sweet, but we may need tonsee a little more to feel safe. Would you buy a home only having seen one picture? It's ok that you don't want to show your results. I wont bother you again. God bless!

Loved your reports. You look great and she does seem to be an awesome Dr. I think it would be great to leave the country have the surgery have someone take care of you and come home. So glad it was a good experience. Keep the pictures coming.
