Sooo...Ive been a total lurker for ever and I just decided to make a profile 7 days before my surgery. I'm freaking out! I'm having a BBL and breast implant replacement done. I had saline implants put in 9 years ago and theyre somewhat deflating rippling and even causing some serious discomfort. I have saline 550 MP cc currently and will be replaced with silicone HP 750cc! I chose Dr. Alvarez at Imagenes and I'm extremely comfortable with him as my Dr. he is so easy going and takes his time. I think he does excellent work from what Iv'e seen however I wish there were more before and after pics out there. I have heard bad reviews of Imagenes coordinators, mine is Mercedes and she has been wonderful! Always gets right back to me and answers all my questions. I feel totally at ease with Dr Alvarez he is a perfectionist which I greatly appreciate lol. I have a concern as I had a umbilical hernia repair (mesh) after one of my sons was born and I'm concerned about lipo in this area. I asked Dr Alvarez and he said it makes the risk of infection go up. This somewhat freaks me out I am already going to have a difficult recovery. Cant lay down sit or lay on front! lol I can't possibly imagine getting a complication. My fiancé is super supportive he is not only going to have to care for our 3 children all by himself while I recover but he built me a BBL bed out of a massage table. He calls is the butt hole bed haha its just a bed with a hole for my butt. I'm scared, nervous excited all at once. I absolutely hate surgery I hate going under anesthesia and I can deal with the pain after as long as there's no complications I'm good. I appreciate everyones before/after pics and experiences as it helps tremendously. I haven't posted pics as I have a lot of tattoo work and it would be difficult to cover but I will figure that out after surgery I will post. I know there are a lot of Dolls getting surgery with Alvarez soon and they want updates. I'm 5'4 normally 125 lbs and Iv'e been frantically trying to gain weight as Alvarez told me to get the junk in the trunk I want I don't have enough fat. sad face. So I'm up to 133 and cramming donuts like crazy hahaha. Anyways...Has anyone out there had lipo around a hernia mesh? I would love to hear from someone who has...

Not sure why it says I'm at Alvarez private practice. I'm seeing him at imagenes. It won't let me change it...

Do Imagenes have a Patient Portal like Vanity? Was that change sent to you via email? If so , stay on Imagenes about the price cause his private practice is more.

No its actually my mistake when I did my review it somehow put me under his private practice. I am going through imagenes and the price I paid was $6500 for bbl and silicone replacements.

Honestly I don't sleep more than an hour at a time. My fiancé made me a bed out of a massage bed he cut a hole in the middle. It totally works but my lower back kills me. So then every hour I flip onto our real med and put a pillow under my head and then a pillow under my stomach so my boobs go between the pillows. Are you having a revision or first time getting implants? My boobs were a revision and the pain was nothing like the first time getting them. This time I can use my arms but the first time I couldn't and I honestly couldnt imagine not being able to use my arms with both these surgeries together. Its rough I'm not gonna lie. But I'm glad I did both at once. Good luck with your surgery if you have any more questions feel free to ask! :)
