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.

8 Months update - Revisions
Hi everyone been MIA for a bit. Well my update lets see.... Will be getting revision. Yes Dr. Redondo is in complete agreement. He's been wonderful at identifying and agreeing with my concerns and will be providing the revision free of charge. Revisions will include correcting dog ears, further lipo to full back and waist as well as more fat grafting to hips. I will be taking advantage of trip and revision to also get my round 2, Inner thigh lift. Very Excited :) I will be doing a separate review when I return. Right now it's count down to revision/round 2 - tentatively booked for July 10th 2017.
Swelling still lingering
So I've tried to wean myself of of this torturous contraption called "faja" lol.. Mistake. Body is definitely not ready... Yes even at 3 months today. I was sore? swollen and just miserable. I hurried home and snapped myself back into my waist trainer. I've been using an Anne Cherry AMAZING. Very comfortable except for the bra straps. So I'm true testament to the saying... Everyone is different, and yes even though I've seen some ladies here look amazing g at 3 months.. Some others like myself just take a bit longer. Yes I've been Massaging, taking supplements for help with the swelling g but at the end of the day... Body just needs time. Would t change anything. I'm positive I will get to where I want to be. I never had unrealistic expectations of this changing me drastically I just wanted to be a better, improved me and I definitely feel
I'm getting feel I'm getting there.

responding to some questions.
Hi dolls, a lot of you have messaged me asking a lot about Puerto Plata and how my experience was there. I guess there are a lot of you wanting to compare to your possible scenarios in the capital vs. POP. Let me say that I have never been anywhere else so to me it was very welcoming and comfortable. If I had to rate the actual clinic (Clinica Burnigal) I would give it a 8 out of 10. It was clean, nurses came in to check on me often. My Doc came the night of the surgery he actually ended up missing his little sisters wedding :( .... but as he said himself, life of a doctor. Overall my experience was pretty good..... yes coming out of surgery I was freezing and I missed the warm blankets we get here when we undergo procedures in hospitals. I guess that was one of my most unpleasant experiences.
2. I've been asked about pain and meds, supplies. I feel very lucky to say, I did not experience bad pain not even on my first day out of surgery, nor the second... if anything I was pretty numb. A little sore yes... but nothing like I read a lot of reviews on here. I was taking a lot of supplements like collagen, vitamin c, B comps, bromelaine and turmeric. I was always on these prior to surgery made sure that what ever pain meds the doctor prescribed I took as suggested. I never felt an ounce of pain, discomfort yes, that would be the normal expected discomfort related to the bruising from lipo, tightness and soreness. But as for pain, not at all. again feel very fortunate about that.
3. I see a lot of girls packing like its the end of the world. I know its a great feeling to have when your prepared and even though I did try and bring things with me that I was anticipating might be cheaper or easier to find here. I have to admit my supplements where the only thing I could say where cheaper. everything else is cheaper there and easy to find. every pharmacy had polysporin, gauze, tape, saline etc... my best advise is ask your surgeon/ surgeons assistant.. they would have a better idea of what is easier to find. save your luggage space for other things that are better used. I loved the fact I took a toilet seat raiser. I was thankful for that... its a little hard to go all the way down (for #2 obviously) when you recently come out of your surgery, so that's one thing you can think about.
3. I did not stay at the recovery house I rented an apartment. Much cheaper but obviously not everyone can do this or feels comfortable doing this. That's completely up to you and your needs and comfort level. I found my apartment at www.airbnb.com really cheap. I think it worked out to $45 CAD a night... for a fully stocked 2 bedroom apartment. So cant go wrong there.
Well I think I covered most of your questions. hope this helps. I will be posting more pics of my actual wound healing progress, a lot have asked for those too. :)

Provider Review
I would recommend this surgeon to anyone. He is very good at what he does and his clam pleasant demeanour is very refreshing. He followed up with me often and I felt well taken care of with the situation of my cold when I got in to DR. He definitely puts your health first. We are still in contact and I suspect we will be in contact via whatsassp often. He asked for picture and to stay in touch if any concerns should arise. Now I'm just waiting for swelling to go down and my continued healing.
