Hi Ladies,
I wanted to update you on my mommy makeover from 2016.
I have self removed multiple irritated stitches from my breasts and my belly button up until recently. My belly button pokes out. My boobs are saggy and it’s only been 2 years since my breast lift. The implants that were put in were too heavy. I need a breast lift again and would have to pay $2500 to get a breast lift redone by Pantoja. My areola shape was never acceptable to me and since my breasts have gotten lower, the shape of my areola has gotten less pleasing to look at. The worst part is, i’ve been suffering from what I believe is called breast implant illness. Look into it if you’re feeling severely fatigued and sick. As a result, insurance is covered my breast implant removal, thank God. Looking back, Pantoja insisted on breast implants but I should’ve just gotten a breast lift without implants. In addition to issues with my breasts and belly button, I have a fold in my lower back from excess skin or improper lipo (see pictures), can’t quite figure out why. Ladies, please think twice about the health risks of implants and surgery. I have continued to feel a small discomfort from stitches on my muscles relating to muscle tightening for my tummy tuck. I pray we all will learn to love our body regardless of what the media tells us. Love you all and God bless.

12 Weeks post op

I underwent an extended tummy tuck, breast lift and breast augmentation with 520cc's approximately 12 weeks ago. I did NOT have lipo and I plan on my bbl this December 2016/January 2017. I am oh so happy with my results. I feel and look better in my clothes. I even bought a tight fitting dress to wear out on a date with my husband. He loves my improved body as do I. I feel waaaay more confident and a better me. I still have some swelling. I am experiencing some muscle spasms in my abs here and then. I do feel some pain and soreness once in a while. The mild pain, soreness and spasms happen especially when I overdo it. My boobs feel sore in the mornings. I think it's because I sleep on them in my sleep. 5/5 stars for Dr. Pantoja!! I am very happy with my results.

Love your results!
Thank you ❤️
Hi Doll, thanks for posting my page. Wow you look amazing :)) after my BBL I want Breast Lift and probably with implants too, and after that a Tummy Tuck. What about the pain in TT?
The recovery for a tummy tuck was no walk in the park but it's definitely worth it. It took me a while getting used to the new me. My little cousin was trying to call me a fatty and squeeze my tummy and she couldn't get a hold of anything. Lol it feels good to have tight abs and a flat tummy.
Love your results
Oh and thanks. Can't wait to see your results.
You look Amazing... Can you share what your weight was at 12 week ...or give us a guess as to how much weight you lost... you look so good!!!
Thank you so much. I started off at 173 prior to surgery and I am currently 162.
You look amazing!! I am planning on surgery this spring, and leaning towards pantoja. May I ask how tall you are ext?
I'm 5 feet 2 inches

$6500 and YES 5 stars for Dr. PANTOJA

I would like to address that the $6500 covered the breast lift, breast augmentation and tummy tuck with muscle repair, anesthesia, blood work, EKG, 2 nights stay at the hospital,food while there, unlimited post op visits, 1 compression garment, 1 compression bra. It does not include the $250 I've spent on meds and supplements thus far. I'm also looking at paying a little more money on scar therapy. I did not get any lipo done.
