Please see my "Review Your Doctor or Provider" comments. My experience was great entirely thanks to Dr. Mendieta (and his staff) -- I really don't feel like I can separate the two reviews into a "Experience/Procedure" section and a "Doctor/Provider" section because Dr. Mendieta (and his staff) were the ones responsible for making it so great.

Thank you so much for your review. Dr Mendieta is the Dr I am going to book my appointment with for a TT and BBL. I can't wait to see your results. How long did you stay in the area for your recovery before you could travel?

Thanks for your reply:)! Congrats, I think you're making a *great* choice with Dr. Mendieta:) I stayed in the area for ten days, which I think is his usual recommendation (but don't quote me on that...). By ten days I was taking short little strolls around town without feeling too tired and I felt ready to travel. I think a week would have been too short for me but I'm a bit on the fragile side so maybe for someone else it would have been okay. (By the way I was checking out your photos -- beautiful results on your facelift! You look stunning:)!)

Thank you so much for the kind words. I will stay the 10 days also. I weigh 115 lbs ar 5'3" so maybe my recovery won't be so bad, I've read posts where some of the ladies have a horrible time with the pain from all the lipo, so I'm hoping my size will help. I can't wait to see your results! Keep us posted. I wish you a speedy recovery.

Hey those are pretty similar to my pre-op stats actually. I know I'm just an individual case, but I'm usually really sensitive, and after the lipo/BBL I was just ache-y; it felt like after a hard workout. No pain:) I was also nervous about that.

You're welcome and thanks for the well-wishes! Best of luck (not that you'll need it:))!

Did you have a tummy tuck with the bbl ? I would like to have my tt and bbl together and would like to have it done when he has a discounted price. I'm glad to hear that the pain was not so bad. Most likely because of your size. I was ready to chicken out until I read your post.

Oops I think I posted wrong somehow. Anyways, hey:) Sry for the delay! Work's gotten a bit crazy lately. To answer your q, I actually only had the BBL done. Yeah I was surprised about the pain thing, too! It really honestly wasn't a problem for me at all, and I'm super-sensitive. The bigger thing for me was that I was pretty tired that first week -- I had to rest a lot (lots movies and gossip mags) and eat at least something small like a yoghurt or some jello every couple hours. No need to chicken out;) You'll do fine:)

Thanks for all your help. I may do the BBL first then go back for the TT. That way I can at least lay on my stomach while the backside heals, and it won't be as painful doing it separate. I will see what the Dr says and take it from there. Thanks again for all your help.

Np, thanks for asking me qs:) Yeah I don't know what the protocol is re: TT and BBL in combo. I don't want to jump the gun but it's possible you won't need a TT after the BBL? I dunno I should be quiet I'm not the expert;) It's been nice chatting with you, good luck with everything (again not that you'll need it)!
