WORTH IT$6,800

I am 27 and have no children, but am basically getting a mommys make over ;)
I contacted campos, cadrenas and pantoja for quotes. Pantoja was the only one who replied with a quote. $6,800 for full body liposuction, breast implants with a lift, tummy tuck, and a BBL. I am not sure if i want a BBL, i do have flat buttocks, but it has never bothered me. It is mainly my stomach that bugs me. I'm not even sure I want breast implants. I have yet to pay my deposit but I am 99% sure i am booking for July 2nd with pantoja. I really like Yily's work but i live in western canada, so the flight home would be a long one.


I am super nervous about recovery. I have a very low pain tolerance, and i am not sure if my doctor here will prescribe me narcotics for this surgery. Has anyone in canada had experience getting meds for surgery out of country? Nadia said they can't prescribe morphine, and this is what i find is effective for me after surgery.
I will be staying at the clubmed for 12 days, is anyone else planning to be there around then? its expensive but i want to make sure everything is ok before i go home and get my drains removed. i am only doing this once, so i want to do it right!
what are your opinions about the buttocks, and the breasts? if i get implants, i am thinking 280CC or 300CC, do you think that will be a good size on my wide frame.

I booked my date and paid my deposit to Nadia for July 2nd. Now i just need to book my flight and RH. I am still debating, if i want to stay for 2 weeks, or take my own stitches and drains out and come home after a week......

My date is so far away, and I am obsessing about it. I wish I could do it sooner.

Thanks for starting your story on RealSelf! You can try the rice test if you'd like to see how different sizes work on you. Please keep us posted as you get closer to your big day. Do you have a doctor in CA who is willing to work with you on post-op care even though you're leaving the country for surgery?

I've heard the mexican pain meds are a joke, so i'm concerned about that to. I live in the states though.

yeah, me too, nadia said that the best they can give me is tramadol, which is just like taking tylenol. i have some oxycodone from a previous surgery, so ill hold on to those and hope its enough.

I stayed a week after a tummy tuck at the recovery house, came home had my stiches and drain in for additional 7 days and had my local clinic nurse take out my stiches.

I am starting to feel really anxious about booking my flight. Whether i should do it now or wait. I don't see a reason why I couldn't keep this appointment, but i guess booking the flight just makes it more real. I would be flying with alaska airlines and their tickets are non refundable and non transferable. decisions, decisions. I really wish there was more after photos of dr.pantoja.

How do you contact Nadia? I got a quote but sent 3 emails with no response :-(

I just email her at the info@drpantoja.com. Sometimes she responds right away and sometimes she takes a couple days.
