So i have been lacking off some but i am back i have decided to go with Dr Alvarez my first choice was dr Fisher didnt like some of the comments then changed to dr Salama the pricing didnt feel right but thd coordinator was upon helpful and just a sweetie. So based on the pricing being perfect and no bad comments found i came across Dr sergio alvarez although theres not much info on him the one that is are great comments i just hope the results are great too. Staying in Miami for 10 days traveling with my husband is it normal to have second doubts this late in the process i would had thought i would be so happy that i was finatly doing me but in a way i feel anxious and worried???

If you drain more than 25cc in a 24 hr period it has to stay in.

That's normal but you will be fine stay 14 days after and you will be fine I stayed 11 after surgery. It's not a guarantee but you will have a better chance of getting them out.

I have checked almost daily for new reviews. So i am just in alot of need of any advice as far as to what to expect and any tips on a faster less painful recovery will be hightly appreciated. Ladies anyone which as had all the procedures at once any tips please

You should look into Dr Irving Rodriguez in Tijuana. He works with this awesome recovery home that has an amazing ocean view and they have a Facebook page where all his patients post their experiences. It's much more transparent and honest seeing it on Facebook :)

Thanks i will look into it though i already have the date saved with dr arenas in 3 weeks

So today is the day we fly out to mexico first time meeting with dr
rafael arenas tommorrow so ecxited nervous anxious and hopefully i like
what he has to say. So far liz his assistant has been such a sweet heart
from the beginning to the end. I love the fact they have not requested
any money to be paid up front so theres no pressure if i dont like the
dr i can hopefully just walk out. I am sure i am forgetting something
but not sure.
