I just want bigger hips and smaller waist. I have a boyish shape with D breast natural. At 1st I wanted Dra. Yily in DR but it was far and some of her reviews were crazy. Then I was gonna go to CosMed I paid the deposit booked my flight then, cardenas name kept coming up. I mentioned her 2 a friend and she said her bff went 2 her. I canceled everything last week. And I wrote Cardenas an email on a Saturday she replied on Monday and have been in contact since. She is really sweet and concerned with your goals and if she can make them happen. So I am abt 2 purchase my flight 2 San Diego and im paying my deposit 2morro

My surgery is on the 24th of this month. I wish I had a sx buddy. I am leaving on the 23rd and will be back on The 28th or 29th. I don't want 2 be gone for too long. I have paid my deposit and can't wait to be a Cardenas doll. I don't want a lot of butt since I have small thighs. I want a small proportionate waist and more hips. Is anyone else going around this time. I have noticed that she puts more at the top of the butt. I want it round. Im not sure whether that is based off patients preferences or her's but I do think it should be proportionate.

Good luck! I'm Having Surgery WITH her On Monday. She has had great reviews and really seems to provide great care for her patients. I hope you find a surgery buddy :)

Im hoping she is as good as they say. Ive noticed she puts all the fat at the top of the butt and not the bottom. I will just tell her my concerns and it should be fine.

Well ive been on this site for abt 4 months now. Looking at pics of docs in DR and MX. The 1st dr I wanted was Dra Yily de los santos. Her work is amazing. One poster "madeinyily" results are exactly what I wanted since our before shapes are the same or close. So I reached out and sent pics never heard back. Then I called all the numbers I could find. One was actually her cell phone. I was so happy it was her and I told her I hadn't heard from her I wanted a quote. She started yelling saying that it is so late y am I calling her, I was confused I looked at my time it was 6pm I thought maybr there is a difference in time. So I asked and she said its 6pm so im like wow. She hung up and text me the office number and told me 2 call tomorrow. I called and no one spoke English so they kept transferring me everyday for a week. Then I took it as a sign that I wasnt 2 go 2 DR and with everything on the news I leave it alone. Then I called Dr Castaneda who put me at ease a bit but I wasnt 100% sure. Then I was told about Cardenas I decided to go with her but everyone says she is the TT queen but im getting lipo and bbl. She tried to say she cant get my waist that small or I would have to get a TT I would like to wait until after having kids for that. So im nervous now. She is more expensive than the other ones. I am suppose to have surgery on 4/24. Her bbl she puts the fat kind of high and not all over. I dont want 2 lose my deposit but doctors always feel like they know more than you. She may but not abt what I want. I don't have anything I need I feel so unprepared. Ive been excited up until this very moment. The reason I brought up Yily is because even though she is rude thats who I really wanted 2 go 2. Her results are amazing. So torn. I just dont want to waste my money.

You should wait until you have a child before getting a TT.

Sorry... Just realizing you got the procedure already. You look good! I have a question, does the scaring bother you at all? Does it show when you where
