great experience with dr. cardenas so back i go!!!! finally going for a tummy tuck - Mexico, MX

Hello dolls!
I've been gone for a minute but I'm back now. Figured I take my look to a whole Nother level. After my BBL with Dr. C, my confidence has increased. She did a phenomenal job & Exceeded my expectations. My wish picture, I in fact became! Right after having the surgery done, I felt as though eventually I would need to go back to have a tummy tuck. Even though my stomach had shrunk immensely, I had sagging skin. A pouch in the front and a divided stomach. I knew that in order for my stomach to be flat as it once was if not smaller then pre-pregnancy, I would need to have this procedure done. I'm currently weighing 198 pounds. Even though I carry well, I'm still going to lose a minimum of 25lbs before my surgery date. I go for surgery with Dr. C on October 21, 2016. Last time I went on my weight loss Journey, it was a success. I dieted, worked out and kept focus. This go around, I've been stuck in a funk. I have yet to start working out And I have literally two months to lose this weight.i'm very excited about having this procedure done. I'll as well have some revisions made to the incisions that the doctor used to go in on my back for liposuction. I have extremely sensitive skin and I was left with keloids. They look like doorknobs and are very unattractive. You can see them through my shirts if clothing fits to my body. In my original quote, Dr. C included cost of breast augmentation coupled with the tummy tuck. Collectively, with the recovery house stay for five days and Surgery my grand total was $9030. things have someone change with regards to the recovery house. Prices have increased since last time I visited. I stayed nine days for the BBL and spent a little less. Where is now I'm spending over 1000 and the stay is shorter. I'm not 100% sure about having this breast augmentation performed because as of late, within the last month or so I've been having complications with my right breast. Went to the doctor, and I have some sort of lump in my breast. We have yet to discover what the issue is. I will be going in for screening in the near future. Just having a scare with regards to my breasts, has somewhat alerted me to not put anything foreign in my body and just leave well enough be. I'm not dissatisfied with my breasts. I've always felt good about my natural size and how they look. I'm currently measuring a 36D. My reasoning for getting the augmentation was to simply fill out my breast and give it more dimension as well as take it up some sizes. The doctor suggested I get a 700 cc implants. Now that I think about it, I would be measuring around a 36H probably if I go through with the surgery. It's still a possibility but I'm about 65% sure that I'm leaning in the direction of not having it done. I wanted to get back on here and talk to you guys as I did before when I had the other procedure. Because I know how difficult it is to make decisions of this sort and go in feeling like you don't know what to expect. When I had the BBL done, I went in very aware of what to expect. I felt as if my expectations for myself were reasonable. Going into this procedure, I feel the same. People that are shopping around for a doctor, if you're looking to go across the border, I would highly recommend my doctor. Her bedside manner is impeccable. She's with you literally on your journey the entire way. No issues with follow-ups or not having any of your questions answered. She is on top of her job. If you decide to stay at beauty care recovery house, know that you're in good hands 24 hours of the day. I didn't want for nor needed for anything. I felt is though I was at my home away from home. Upon leaving, I was a little sad about having to leave and go back home even though I was extremely ready to get back to my regular life. Friendships were made and hopefully, this go around, some of the staff who I remember are still there! I have no bad things to say about my initial experience. Due to that, my decision to go back was an easy call to make. Dr. C is notorious for being called the tummy tuck queen. That I find comfort in. I was little skeptical about the BBL procedure and she put me to shame for having any doubt. This procedure in particular, Is known as her specialty...So I know I'm about to be snatched!!!! And apart of the "WHAT WAIST" gang!!!! There was one other thing that I failed to mention that I will do so now. I have requested that the doctor do LIPO on my back lower and upper. She declined to do so because I had Lipo in those areas already. This I disagree with....I do not want to havemy waist/stomach/ass all looking amazing BUT my back rolls!!! So hopefully between now and October 21, I can talk to the doctor and see if she can do exactly what I would love her to do. I want to say, that's all for now. But look forward to me being on here more frequently then not. I do want to document this journey for those of you who are interested in going on this excursion with me. This is a life-changing procedure I feel and please wish me all the best!

Hi dolls. I'm still in the hospital and I'm going back to recovery house in a couple hours. I'm in and out of sleep and it's not due to pain whatsoever. I have been very fortunate to not really experience too much pain if not any . Some reviews that I read prior to surgery, couple of the girls mention that they didn't have much pain. I didn't believe them & thought they were lying to be honest. But here I am today, saying the same thing that I'm very fortunate to not be in a world of pain. I will rate my pain level from a scale to 1 to 10 being at a one. I'm more uncomfortable than I am in pain. My skin is very very tight. I currently do not have on a compression garment but you would think that I do, as tight as my stomach feels. I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience this go around. I'm very comfortable with my doctor and I have always appreciated her honesty. She's very realistic and put safety first. I'm very happy that I was able to have her do this procedure for me. now, Back to my results...I was swollen around my incision. Those of you have been doing research on tell me tux and the recovery, know that this is extremely typical and happens 100% of the time. I have not yet took time out to measure my waist line and so on. My main focus at this point has been resting. However, I did have one of the nurses here at the hospital, take a few pictures of me when they were rewrapping my stomach. Those I will put up. I did have lips done to my back aside from scar revision. When I have my bbl with her and December 2013, on my back where Dr. went in, I had keloides. Scar revision was simply the removal of these keywords on my back. I have a total of three removed. I have it at this point attempted to stand up let alone walk. It's at some time for the Anastasia to wear off. I couldn't move my legs for about 46 hours after having woken up. I went in for surgery roughly around 930am and when I woke up it was 130 pm. When I woke up, The doctor was Wiping my stomach down and I was still in the operating room. So the surgery collectively, took approximately four hours. I did not like what they gave me at the hospital. The Oldmill look like green resting in a bit of skim milk. It was very cold. I'm not a fan of Jell-O and I requested fruit but they claim they did not have fruit. So I ended up having a glass of apple juice, the sports bottle that I came to the hospital with for the water and A pack of Ritz crackers. So I really haven't had a meal in a day and a half at this point. I look forward to going to the recovery house because I know they'll serve me something decent. At this time, I'm going to attempt to go back to sleep. It's 5:40 AM in the morning and before I get picked up by either Marco or Ronnie, I want to have gotten a little more sleep. I will be posting another review in the next couple of days. Until then ladies, take care yourself.
