Tummy Tuck, BBL, Lipo Back, Flanks, Underarm,Back -Dominican Republic, DO

It has been 5 years since my surgery.. I am thankful that I went to DR. The body sculturing was fabulous. I went 2 years ago for a thigh lift. I will be going soon for an arm lift. If anyone can recommend a surgeon for an arm lift and back lipo...let me know. I eat very little carbs and I exercise. I am 57..

I know it has been a while. I have been in perimenopause for the last 3 years. I think I am finally out of it. My lowest weight was 186 and I hovered around 195. Today, I am at 203. It has been a effort to stay at that weight. My chest has exploded. I am wearing a 34 DDD bra. Well, I am looking to have a thigh and arm lift with lipo on the back and flanks again. I am unsure if Dr. Almonte does thigh lifts. I really want her for this surgery because of the positive experience with this surgery. I sent my pictures off to her and am just waiting for a response. I am not nervous because I know what to expect. I will not over pack like I did last time. I brought summer dresses at the end of last season just in case I was going back to DR. I will start a page for the new surgery...

It has been two years since I had surgery. I do not regret any of it. If I had it to do again, I would. I had not complications or pain really. Just the back lipo for a few night burned. Having surgery did not change my life. I had a friend die from lung cancer a year before I had surgery. She was healthy, vibrant and just a beautiful person one minute and 5 month later in hospice care and dead. Kids are grown, just one graduating from college this year, I retired. Why wait.. I started hating going to my job. I now go across the hallway to my sewing room. I am selling the house this spring and moving to a 800 or so square feet something. Life is good. I try to eat comfortable...What that means is I dont obsess over what I eat just do what is right for me. I am going to list things that were important for me to do and might help you .

Research...read all you can on your surgery.. look at profiles from your doctor. See what people are saying.

Have a second doctor if you are traveling out of the country. Communication is key if you dont
speak the language.

Check your iron...Start taking iron supplements

Pineapple juice after surgery. Swelling is unreal.

Surgery is just not for the thin and young. If you are healthy and want cosmetic surgery,. than go for it.
I will try to check in a little more often now....Happy Healing everyone...
