WORTH IT
I am not one to cross the border for this type of procrdure but I heard lots of good things about dr. Pantoja. He was resonable and gives you realistic recommendations. Doesnt just take your money. I was a nervous reck but his staff along with him made sure I was comfortable. Very nice and clean rooms
. Also got a super massage before surgery to help the tension. Came home to LA saturday morning and had discomfort but to real pain. Taking my meds and arnica tea to help with swelling. You will need a walker or walking hunch back csn get painful on the back. Consider being off for 2 weeks for proper recovery. He's patient's come from all over from local to far away in tge US, Can wait for reveal my new body. Will upload pics when I feel better.

Hello miss Erika, Im two weeks po as of yesterday and my tummy is still swollen too. I jus had my lymphatic massage today and it really does help plus the arnica tea and gel. No worries. Dr. P told me tht the swelling will take a few months to go down. Happy healing to u :-)

Hello Diva, I know I over did it by trying to cook a meal and went up and down the stairs several times. I took off girdle as I couldn't take the tightness for about 1 hour and I think that's when I blew up. MaryPaz did a wonderful job today with my massage. Lower back is still draining and it's been 6 hours since my massage. :) did you have just a tummy tuck?
