WORTH IT$6,500

In 2004 I had weight loss surgery and within 2 years I lost a total of 180lbs. While that was a great achievement I was left with saggy skin on my thighs, butt, tummy, breasts and arms. I put off plastic surgery for many years because I was scared and it was very expensive here in NY.

Well a family member recommended that I contact Dra. Robles in santo Domingo. Her prices were about 65% less expensive making the surgery affordable to me. I have to say her prices were not what determined how I selected her. I knew a few former patients all with wonderful results so I decided that I would do it.

I need a lot of work done to tighten myself up but in August 2012 I went to santo Domingo and had a full TT and a breast lift with implants. I am so happy with my results! I breasts look better than they ever did before and very natural. My tummy also looks great. It hasn't been a year yet so in know I still have some healing but I feel so happy with my results that I will be going back to have my thighs, butt and arms done.

Dra. Robles made me feel very comfortable and she is very nice as are her staff. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to have these procedures done. She is safe and will run some of her own post op tests to make sure the results are consistent and that you (the patient) are a healthy candidate for the procedure she will perform. I could not have more work done while I was there due to my hemoglobin being just over 12. She said she was not comfortable doing more and I have to respect that she put health first. I have been monitoring my hemoglobin since my surgery and so far it's high enough to complete my transformation. I am so excited and nervous at the same time.

I should mention that the price I paid included the pre op tests, all medications, the recovery house, all meals and transportation to and from her office as well as to and from the airport.

I posted 2pics unfortunately I did not keep any pre op pictures to compare...my tummy and breasts used to look like those of an 85 years old. Very loose, wrinkled skin. It was horrible...

I forgot to add that I also requested the TT without any lipo. What I had done was the tummy tuck and muscle repair. I will return to my surgeon in June for thigh lift, lipo on my back, and a butt lift. I will also be having an arm lift at a later date. I will be scouring my pictures to see if I have any pre op pictures. I only had a few that I had sent to the surgeon and then deleted for fear someone would find them.

I just wanted to tell you that I just seen your photos and I know you're wishing for the fuller breasts and stuff, but to me you look very natural! I like the look.. you look great! I, too, love your belly!
April 16, 2013
Thank you so much. I don't have any pre op pictures because I'm very self conscience and honestly my belly was really bad as we're my breasts. The doctor recommended an implant only 50cc bigger than the one I chose. I have a 12 year old daughter and she is just developing so I didn't want to go crazy. It feels so good to not have to tuck my belly into my wasteband lol...

Oh, I know that feeling (tucking belly into waistband) I am glad you're happy and I get the whole pre-teen in the house. I have a 20 year old daughter who is out on her own now, but still here at home I have two sons, 15 and 13. I didn't want to embarrass them!! haha!!

When I had my consult the day before surgery I explained my expectations and the results I wanted. In the morning when she came to mark me up before the sx she showed me three different implants. I told her I wasn't sure what to choose because I just wanted to fill in my deflated boobs I didn't want to go bigger. She showed me the 300cc and the 250cc. She suggested the 300cc but i went for the 250 because I was scared to look like a [RS bleep] star and how would my 12 yr old feel about that lol I was thinking crazy things so I played it safe. After seeing how they looked right after surgery I regretted getting the smaller size, they were amazing when they were swollen lol don't get me wrong I like them now but the bigger would have been better. She will show you the best options for your body type. Good luck to you. I'm so anxious for next trip...the top is done, now time for the bottom!

Hi ladies! This place is truly amazing. I have read so many reviews, tips and stories. After A LOT of reading and research. I have decided to go with Dr. Cynthia Disla. I'm planning on getting a TT and BA during the first week of July. I would love to have a buddy while down there. I plan on staying at Jacqueline's Spa. Hope to hear from some of you : )
