Turned 50 and Want to Be Happy with Myself! - Dominican Republic, DO

UPDATED FROM dlflygrl

Almost 1 full year after my revision with Dr. Almonte.

$4,505
I am as unhappy now as I was prior to my revision. My muscle have not been repaired and almos $ 14,000 usd later and Dr. Almonte will not return my calls. I have learned that if something appears to be to good to be true, IT IS! The Dominican runs a chop shop. You have very little recourse if things don't go well. This situation goes beyond being aesthetically perfect. The muscles that were supposed to be tightened were NEVER tightened, not even on the revision. Trying to get someone from their office to respond to you is virtually impossible. After care is non existent! I highly recommend going with a board certified ps in America!!!

PROFILE

This has been crazy. First I picked Dr. Fatima Almonte. For reasons I won't go in to I changed to Dr. Fernandez Goico. So I arrive in the DR, have my face to face. Do all my lab work etc. he says he won't perform my surgery. Ok whatever. Who do I end up going to see???? Dr Fatima Almonte. It was meant to be. She and I had a consultation, had a couple tests and 2 days later she did my TT. I will have volumes to say after my 12 days here. Stay tuned.

I'm so sorry you weren't given what you paid for and the service was terrible. I hope you find a great surgeon to give you the results were originally looking for.
Thank you Valley! I haven't given up! I found a wonderful ps here in Charlotte. I'm not traveling out of the country again!!!
Sounds awesome! Will you be sharing that journey as well?
I have some work I am going to get done myself. Just looking into who I'll go to to get it done.
Yes Valley I most certainly will. I've chosen Dr. Miles in Huntersville, NC. He is on RS also. He wants me to wait a year (which is actually August 20, 2017), so I'm thinking maybe November 2017
I cannot wait to read your experience and to see the results! I'll be following.

1st Post Op visit

I am on day 4. I had my second massage this morning. It truly hurt like hell but I knew that it was helping me and the end result would be great. I really really hope my muscles are tightened because the only thing that hurts is the incision on my back and the lipo'd areas. I know I'm not super woman, my pain tolerance cannot be that high. I suppose I will just have to wait and see. I'll post some pictures after the visit.

Looking good, nice scar line.
Just looking at my stretch marks. Gee whiz, they are awful. But I'll take those over hanging skin ANY DAY!
Amen to that! I have them below my belly button still but I don't even care anymore. The extra skin is gone!
I'm not as happy looking in the mirror this time. Perhaps there isn't as much of a change as the first time. I feel twice my size. I'm hoping that changes.
Did she remove more skin from your tummy or just tighten up the muscles?
No, just tightened the muscle. And lipo for my little bbl
