So far Dr. Mañon has been very responsive even when I call extremely early in the morning. His assistant (Diana).. I don't have anything much to say because my interactions have been very brief. I do understand however that she has her hands full with overwhelming requests daily. I have also heard great things about her in other reviews.

I truly enjoyed Dr Manon. Before now, I never considered EVER getting cosmetic surgery because I just don't do scars. But I ran into a friend of mine who looked absolutely fab. I had to ask how did she lose the weight so well. She informed me that she had surgery with Dr Manon. She said she did several months of research before contacting him to schedule a consult, and that it was greater than she could ever have imagined. He did such a fabulous job. So great in fact that you can barely see the bikini scar. So I decided to take a chance. I contacted his asst and scheduled a time to come down. I'm so happy with my choice. It's only been a week since the surgery and I'm already looking and feeling great. Thanks again Dr Manon and the wonderful women of the Dreams Recovery and Care Givers. If you ever decide to take the plunge, I personally recommend Dr Manon and his great caregivers at Dreams Recovery. God Bless.

Thanks doll, I feel very confident going to him. How are you recovering. What challenges and best practices would you like to share? Hope you have a wonderful recovery

I'm actually recovering pretty quickly. Most of the fluid is gone. My body is already starting to heal, cause it's been itching the last 3 days. My back and sides are still quite tender, but that's to be expected after a major surgery. When you come, be prepared. This is major surgery, so no overdueing it. You will be laid up for a few days. On my third day I started walking. It helps drain that excess fluid. If you have pain killers, bring them with you, cause u will need them. The only real challenge I've had is being away from my husband for 10 days...lol

hey Honey! I'll be following your journey please keep us posted. I was all for Tania Medina like you said she's consistent, no crazy horror stories and she seems to actually care about one's health but now I'm considering Dr. Manon too! The only thing is that there are not that many reviews here on RS. When are you planning to go?

I've already been. I was there from Feb 5-18th. The surgery went very well, and I'm highly pleased. Dr Manon did my surgery. I'm gonna tell you, that man has magic hands. I'm going to post some progress pics soon. I'm almost completely healed. Still quite stiff and soar, but that's to be expected for some time longer. Thanks for keeping track.

Rocio Ortega Recovery House

Israel manon doll 2B
So I have been all over the place trying to locate the ideal recovery house and got referred to Rocio Ortega Recovery House. I then checked it out myself and now I know for sure where I want to go. There are a few things that are absolutely important for me.
- It has to be clean
- Hospital beds
- Must be a relaxing setting
- They must be responsive
- It must be easy to access information on them

The person I have been speaking to is Kennya and when I say she don't miss a beat... she is on top of everything. This may or may not be big deal for many folks but her English is impeccable. In a apprehensive process like this timely communication is key so it helps a lot when you are dealing with folks that truly understand the anxieties that come with this process.
Yesterday I felt even better when she did a live Instagram video and it helped being able to see the facility in its entirety.

Is this recovery house what was included in Manon's price? I'm a little confused because I received a quote from his assistant and it listed a bunch of things that were included in the "all inclusive package" so I'm wondering if the quote for lipo,bbl and tt is the all inclusive price? Also i asked a few questions along with my quote and she never responded to them she just decided to send me a quote so I'm not sure..if the recovery house is included..which recovery house it is and if my arm lipo is included in the price or if he will even be able to do it or charge more when i get there..i even asked how to put a deposit down/how much and I got no response..she only answered 1 question...i understand she's busy but this is so frustrating because I want Dr. Manon to do my surgery but I'd like questions asnwered...

I did my breast as well and the package was 6600. Im not sure how much yours is since you are not doing your breast but whatever quote she give you should have recovery house for 10 days along with transportation. You can contact the recovery house yourself and arrange with them (as long as they work together). Rocio Ortega is the one Im staying at. The persons there is Kennya and she will definitely get back to you quickly. More than likely if you leave the recovery house search to Mañon assistant , she will send you to dreams recovery. I don't know anything about that house so I can't speak on it. PS. I was in the same shoes and I'm happy that I didn't change doctors because I love love love my results so far
February 26, 2017
thanks for replying..its good to hear you love your results! I hope im in the same boat when i finally get sx..I want to stick with Manon as well..when you chose your own recovery home did they deduct it from your quote and then you paid the recovery home seperately? because i wasnt given a breakdown on the pricing to know what portion is actually for surgery and what was for the other things just that it was 5800
February 26, 2017
So that quote of 5800, subtract 250 for Manon's deposit and 150 for the recovery house deposit so when you come you only pay 5400. The recovery houses still require their deposit separately. In my case I had to do them using different merchants. PayPal or money gram was Mañon's method ( if the sum is larger than 500, his assistant will tell you to use money gram). I had a big issue the day before I left. I tried sending $6000 using money gram since it would have cost me 30. When she went to pick it up, money gram would not release the funds. Then when I went to pick the money up I was given a hard time because most money gram locations would not pay out more than 500-1000 at a time. So you are better off taking the money with you or sending the money in smaller sums. The recovery house used western union for their deposit. Hope this helps
February 26, 2017
Yes thank you...she finally replied and said the quote included Dreams Recovery but I can't seem to find any info on it and that doesn't make me to comfortable staying there. Thank you for alll the info..I sent a msg via whats app to thw Recovery home you are staying at and I hope they get back to me so I can compare prices as well.

My quote was 5800 all inclusive for TT LIPO BBL. She told me the recovery house included was Rocio Ortega RH. I need to follow up just to make sure that hasn't changed.
February 26, 2017
Your lucky that they offered you Rocio Ortega RH..I was told by his assistant they use Dreams Recovery and I cant find any reviews/Social Media accounts etc. About that place but Rocio Ortega looks good so far
February 26, 2017
Yea you should

+1 (809) 702-0669 Kennya's number
February 26, 2017
You don't have to take what she gives you. You can find your own recovery house. The price will not change unless it's a recovery house that cost more that dreams recovery $75 per night for a triple bed room)
February 26, 2017
Ok i asked her what portion of the 5800 is for the stay?? And she responded with "4800 only surgery"..so that would mean the recovery house is $1000...but if its 75 a night that would only equal 750.. so I'm clearly missing something here lol
February 26, 2017
And sorry I know you don't work for him and your trying to recover so thank you for all your help
February 26, 2017
When is your procedure?
February 26, 2017
It's ok, I'm assuming the remaining 250 is for transportation. You can call Kenya, she knows way more than me. I remember her telling me once that it's the same.

I wanted to ask how are u making your payments?? My surgery is March 20 I want to pay most of my money now instead of having it all on me .. she said Western Union but I'm trying to see if anyone has done that
February 19, 2017
I took a physical on Friday and awaiting my results on Monday, once I get my results with appropriate hemo levels, Im sending my balance over via PayPal. I had paid my deposit for the recovery house (Rocio Ortega) via western union. I'll just deduct tu from my package and send the remainder to the doctor. I don't want to walk or drive around with that much cash.
February 19, 2017
So they will let you make your payment through PayPal ?? Are you talking to Rosa ??
February 19, 2017
Yes I got the doctor's approval. I usually talk to the doctor because he's very prompt with responding. If it's logistically related he'll usually have u communicate with Rosa
February 19, 2017
Great thank you and I know your gonna look amazing
February 19, 2017
Thanks, you too all the best
February 21, 2017
Just a heads up... So I reached out to tell Rosa that I was about to send my balance through Paypal and she said I had to do it through money gram because PayPal charge them a huge fee. I had previously asked the doctor and he said it was fine. Anyway when I called PayPal to find out what the fees were, it was over 300 dollars that they ( doctors end) would have to pay. If u sent it from here via money gram it would cost about $30 ( my end)
