Just paid my $200 to Dr. Duran waiting for a sx date for my TT, Lipo, and BBL
cant wait ...will be staying at the Armonia Recovery House. Planning for June. Dr. Duran had great reviews, She is very popular at doing BBL's she gives you that natural looking donkey boody :) So far they have been responding to all my emails fairly quickly which i love..Also Jazzelyn her assistant has been basically via email walking me through the steps daily..

Hey hun, how were you able to get in contact with her?
March 12, 2015
How were u able to get in contact with her? Can you please give me her number or email address??? Thanks in advance:)
March 13, 2015
Man...how did you get in touch with her? I have emailed her at least 3 times and no response. I am scheduled with Robles in 2 weeks and I am super nervous!
User Avatar
March 13, 2015
Justd be aware that Dr. Robles had 2 deaths within 1 month..I would not take a chance on her if i were you..Maybe you need to get your money back..But if you do go through with it ..I wish you a fast and healthy recovery.
User Avatar
March 13, 2015
How are you staying in touch with Robles? After I flew over there because I didn't know about the deaths prior and she did not inform me about surgeries being cancelled....I can no longer get on touch with her.....I would like my deposit back but the email Laura gave me was a bogus one and she is not answering my what's app....so if you know how to get in touch with her please let me know....thank you!

What is quoted in the $5200? I usually see girls get a TT LIPO BBL for $4500 with Duran. Thanx!
User Avatar
March 13, 2015
Ynunez I am sorry i added my recovery room stay at the Armonia in the price...Yes Duran is $4500 and my room fees is probably gonna add to around $700 to $1000 for my 10 day stay...Usually i hear back from them via email every morning when i wake up..Today no email and i paid my $200 but i heard after you pay it does take a little while for her to give you an appt.
User Avatar
March 13, 2015
For those that want to get in contact with her for a quote and to build your profile you have to go through Bella Vita Consultants and pay the $200 fee...Duran's info is hilarioplasticsurg@gmail.com or office # 809-331-5050 ext 212
March 13, 2015
How long did it take for u to hear back from Bella? Does she give u a quote right away
March 13, 2015
What is the email address for Bella? ?
March 13, 2015
Oh an I was also wondering do u have to pay her for helping u get a quote from the doctor? Omg I really hope this works. I've been trying to get a price from Dr Duran for so long now
User Avatar
March 13, 2015
It took about a week to get a quote because you have to go through a procedure first with Bella ..You email them from their website then they will email you back stating to upload pics to them front back right side and left side from neck to knees then they will have you fill our a regristration form ..Once that is all completed they will send you an invoice via Paypal for $200 then in a few days you will get a quote because they have to build your profile ...They will send you a quote...I am just waiting for a date so i am kinda emailing them and calling all day to get an appt..i email Jazzelyn@bellavitaconsultants.com...but like i said go to the direct website and follow protocol and you may have a better response.
March 13, 2015
Do u have to paid her a fee for helping u get a quote & date from the doctor?
User Avatar
March 13, 2015
yes its the $200 via Paypal
User Avatar
March 15, 2015
Ok perfect because that's what I'm expecting to pay. Fingers crossed lol I went through Bellavita because Duran has not answered me, and I wrote that woman for like a year!!! I hope she's not booked for July. Good luck on your journey doll!
User Avatar
March 15, 2015
Yes yes yes ladies go to http://www.bellavitaconsultants.com and go from there, I think the $200 is worth it unless you religiously email and call all of Durans numbers every single day, and you dont want surgery until a year from now because Im telling yall she did not answer my email, and the phone in DR to her office never gets picked up. However some girls are luckier than others and do get through. All the girls that I've seen get their quotes within a week and their date secured have gone through Bella Vita.
User Avatar
March 13, 2015
Hi and good luck and I hope you get the best results, as I was reading your post I see you are getting basically what I want to be done to me, but do you mind telling me how much you weigh and how tall are you? I would like to know if that is the same price she is going to quote me
User Avatar
March 13, 2015
i think $4500 is like her set price for what we are getting ..TT. Lipo & BBL ...I am 170pds and 5'6 ...More than likely i can guarantee she will quote you that price unless you add breast ...I have 2 kids but my breast remained ok cause i didnt breast feed..lol I really need my date and i am going to harrass her till i get it...I already purchased everything damn near...i am ready to get transformed like today...lol

March 22, 2015
I'm having sx with him in June....please post lots of pics!!!....I think he is awesome and his communication is on point....also he seems to really care about his patients overall health and the fact that massages are included in the packages is an A+....when I was over there I have noticed that the all inclusive packages they are trying to sell to Americans are way overpriced, so I'm really happy with my decision
April 17, 2015
Yes....me 2 im hoing in june was going 2 Contreras but desided 2 send leon a email and he called me today.answered everything i needed or wanted 2 know in one phone call
User Avatar
April 17, 2015
He is great too Talk With..I feel really comfortable talking to him as we should. My sx is June 15th . I'm glad you are thinking of switching. You will not be disappointed. All the RS sisters that have gone to him so far have nothing but nice things to say about him and they are loving there body's ..
User Avatar
March 22, 2015
Is there anywhere that his work is showcased? I went on his website and nothing. If his communication is good and his work is good I can feel confident in switching to him bc Duran is a nightmare to contact but her work is really undeniably good.
User Avatar
March 22, 2015
I know, that"s why I am between a rock and a hard place, but Dr. Duran hasn't contacted me, it was Dr. Yily that has contacted and I have a date with her. Its just I like working with Doctors that have direct contact with me.

Well try calling Dr. Leon once you speak to him you will change your mind about Yily...lol He is amazing . And a RS sister on here that i keep in touch with had her sx recently and she brags how great of a doc he is and i believe her because others who had there sx with him have nothing but remarkable words and results.
June 28, 2015
@ynunez tell me about it it's been 4 months trying to reach her on whatsapp, instagram, real self it's just crazy I no she is popular in demand but dam get back to a person it's so overwhelming on choosing a dr that's going to give results that u want have you decided yet on who?
June 28, 2015
You know I found he don't care too much for pics a lot take that personal sx is really personal he gets his fame and clients from word of mouth

No he doesn't @shan30 you are right he doesn't .

April 23, 2015
I just feel safer and more secure with Dr. Leon . Talking to him made me feel so much better and a few of my RS sisters love there results and was very pleased with him...I did months and months of research and im sticking to him..
April 23, 2015
I like his work more but im having a change of heart dr.Contreras is good 2 but and has alot of pics .leon dont have that many i jyst hear good things about him and the fact that he calls and answers everthing shows he care about his patients
April 23, 2015
Me too he is the way only one that I am convinced with forget the fame they have no type of customer service still haven't heard from the other doctors at all and hears from him within 10 minutes I I confident he will give me great results TT bbl full lipo also arms n I'm thinking chin lol I am gonna be mommie
April 23, 2015
Yes you are right I think that's what I like the most
User Avatar
April 23, 2015
If you go on his fb page you will see some of his work but a few RS sisters are on here and they posted there pics and they look amazing...He only does 2 surgeries a day and it's in a hospital...His main concern is your well being...He kinda hates too send you home in 10 days like the others so he suggests you stay for a full 2 weeks so he can take the drains out before you leave. I just have a good vibe with him so I'm all his...lol What RH are you considering? My Home has super great reviews they have hospital beds which is a plus and they speak english.
April 23, 2015
@Kikiwoods whats his fb page i went on it and didnt see much or didnt see before and after pics do he have another page?
April 23, 2015
My home recovery home. That's where they sending me his assistant says it's the best of the best!! I have really heard some horror stories about ALOT of the doctors there like it really not the doctor doing your surgery or how they treat them,like [RS bleep] after. Girl I don't give a Damn if I don't see any pics he make me feel at ease I don't like the popular people Hell they don't have time for no one.what are you getting
April 23, 2015
Lipo/bbl but im so afraid of picking the wrong dr. And not getting what i want.i been on this site 4 awile and is scary just hearing diffrent things
April 23, 2015
You right I'm just gonna pray bout it but going out with a bang
April 23, 2015
Lol....hope 2 see some pictures.and congrats on ur jerney
April 23, 2015
Thanks same to you
User Avatar
April 23, 2015
Yes he really does care ...He doesn't do the third party stuff like Dr. Duran, Dr. Almonte etc...You have questions he answers them and i feel safer in a hospital and not in a clinic...Before you make a decision do a lot of research...Research safety and who is gonna give you the body results you want. I chose safety over it all then body....I don't want a Nikki or a Kim K butt i want a natural donkey booty. So if you want a Kim K or Nikki go to Duran and get it done...She does that . She is also a good doctor but i want safety, cleanliness as well. I also want a doctor who cares about me and my well being and from what i hear Duran , Yily they do not touch basis with you after your surgery..But this is just my opinion
User Avatar
April 23, 2015
Almonte was actually a doc who i wanted she is great with TT and BBL but i wanted a lot of questions asked and i could never speak to her i was always adviced to speak with her assistant Lesley and sometimes Lesley wouldnt email me or text me back for like a week...It was very frustrating. What if after the sx is done and i have an emergency? This is why Dr. Leon came into play...He always i mean always returns my calls the same day!!
June 28, 2015
@kikiwoods I'm glad I read your reviews because it's overwhelming when your trying to decide on a doctor I chose dr.yily at first but I heard of recent death plus before that then I wanted dr.duran she gives beautiful results but she never responds and why should I chase a doctor that's a no no then I found dr.robles she gives results like yily and Duran but now I see your post about Dr . Leon never heard of him but will look at his pics and that is nice that he responds to your questions very important of a doctor
User Avatar
June 28, 2015
@trinisha be careful because Dr. Robles had 3 deaths in 3 months time 1 in December and 2 in february. So do your research like I did. I do t want a doctor who had any deaths to be honest.
June 28, 2015
@kikiwoods wow thanx for the info definitely a no no with her
June 28, 2015
I will check out your dr
June 28, 2015
I told these girls the same thing that are in fb groups they keep saying we never heard of him!! He don't have enough pics for me and blah blah blah so I mention,bout no deaths and they say they all have had deaths it's just not on broadcast as most!!! Ok,whater hunny!
User Avatar
June 28, 2015
That's ignorant! If US and other countries are just waiting to see if there is any death by a plastic surgeon on DR to post it, so people get scare and do not go there. I think if you do your research and prepare yourself for it, you will end up fine. At first I was scare to go to Dominican Republic to have my Sx but after finding RS and see so many beautiful women doing Sx there. I felt that it was ok, as long as I did my research and all. I didn't even know about Dr. Leon or Dr. Medina until I found this website! It shows you that there are good doctors but because they don't have any death they don't get to be in the spotlight like the others. Thumbs up to the good doctors in DR!!!
June 28, 2015
I specifically asked him if he had any deaths, and he told me..."Thank God, no" ..in Spanish! He is human like anyone else, but he seems to work more within his means and talk people out of nonsense. He seems to have ethics, in other words. Doesnt over extend himself and isn't money hungry. You have to limit yourself to stay safe, so I believe that's why he works the way he does. He told me he even had to change his gym routine because it was affecting his surgery capabilities. I don't see too many others even bothering to return calls, much less changing lifestyles. I like a human touch, but once again, I got ass. Lol not looking for what many others are and he doesnt have tons of photos. Slowly but surely. Better get on this bandwagon, y'all.

Kiki what hospital are you referring to? He doesn't do the work at plasti medica?

User Avatar
April 15, 2015
I heard this From a few of the other girls to bring ensure or protein powder...I guess to keep vitamins etc in your system..build your immune system back up and snacks if you get hungry in between feedings...lol I am done spending. What I don't have I just won't have.
User Avatar
April 16, 2015
Oh ok. I'm scared I won't use half the things I bought. I feel you on the spending. It's ridiculous with all the business the dr's are getting you would thing they would have these things already. Like the whole compression sock thing. Seriously why don't they spend the money to get that machine for your legs.
