MedinaDoll....TT, lipo, bbl...maybe $4800

Well I know my process has been a long one but finally I have chosen to stick with Dr. Medina in the DR. I got my quite and paid my deposit of $500 I will be doing a TT and Lipo may be a BBL, lipo to arms and inner rights. I can't wait. I'll stay 15 days vs 10 that's the minimum. Total coast is 4800 with recovery house for 10 days it's 5700 I'll stay 5 more so it's at 85 a day extra.

you look great
Thank you
I had my sleeve done on November 1st. I have to say that you look wonderful! Good work! I was lucky to have my surgery completely covered by insurance, but I'm not sure about whether or not a Tummy Tuck and Lipo will be covered further down the road. Good to know that I can refer to this site for recommendations. Anyway, keep up the good work!
