Dddd

Two years ago I got butt implants with Dr. Alfredo Harris at NEW ME TJ. At the consultation, I thought he was very kind, educated, and professional. Because of this, I chose him as my surgeon and have not regretted my choice. He did an amazing job!! I strongly recommend him and I wish there were more reviews on his work so more people would go to him for a consultation!

Because I loved the results he left me with, I have decided to go back to him after having a baby. This time, I am going back for liposuction or maybe a tummy tuck as I did put on a lot of weight and got STRETCH MARKS *sad face emoticon*. I'm not exactly sure of what he will recommend, but regardless, I am very excited to go back to having a body I am comfortable with.

One thing I would like to add is that it appears that all consultations are kind of treated as "walk-ins." This might not be the case, but everyone always seems to have their appointment at 8 or 8:30am (at least for Saturday's). This means you might be there for quite a while. It doesn't bother me but I know it might bother others.

Anyway, today I made an appointment for a consultation this coming Saturday! Yay! I will post an update on how the appointment went and what will happen next :)

Today, I had my consultation with Dr. Alfredo Harris in Tijuana. I had my appointment at 8:30am but got there at around 8:05am because I'm great at miscalculating driving time. Getting to the SIMSA building where his clinic is at is SO convenient if you are coming in from the US. Literally, right after you cross into Mexico, all you do is stay on the far left lane and make your first left (there is a sign that has a picture of the building with an arrow pointing ahead). Fron there you will be at a roundabout and you'll want to go to the other side of the roundabout (so, straight infront of you but you need to go right). From here you are basically there. You'll see the big building(can't miss it!) and it has two parking lots. *Park at the lot infront of the boarder line!*

The consultation was straight forward. I walked in and was greeted by the nice blonde at the front desk. I signed some paperwork and waited for about 10 minutes until I got called in by Dr. Harris. In his office, I told him I was interested in getting liposuction and hoping to avoid a tummy tuck, although I sort of knew it was my only solution.

After having my son (7 months old), my stomach was left with extra loose skin and stretch marks. At the age of 23, this is very unfortunate! I feel like I cant wear the clothes a 23 year old wears, can't wear bikinis, and overall am just not comfortable with how I look. I told him this and he said a tummy tuck might be what I need, so he showed me some pictures of his work. Then, he walked me to another room so he could take a look at my stomach and he confirmed that a tummy tuck is what I needed. If I only got liposuction, according to Dr. Harris, I would end up with even more sagging skin.

I asked him a few questions and told him I'd also be interested in some liposuction to the upper arm and thighs. He agreed to it and said he would also do the back (back bra area?, lol) and would transfer the fat to my butt (per my request, also). Great, I was feeling good because of what I was hearing. So good I forgot to mention wanting fat transferred to my hips (so I want Kylie Jenner hips! Dammit!). Oh well, still good.

When he was done, dr. Harris called in his other assistant so she could give me pricing information and all that. For the liposuction, fat transfer, and tummy tuck, it came out to be $4,500 (this included a previous patient discount).

Music to my ears. I can afford it, yay! Lol. I scheduled a surgery date right away because I'm impatient like that. Besides, I already know he's a good surgeon, so what's there to think about? I've been thinking about this surgery since I was pregnant! Ha!

After scheduling, I filled out some paper work and had some blood drawn out. After that, I was done. They have a medical fast pass that you can purchase for $10 so the border wait was about 15 minutes or less. I was in and out of Mexico in an hour!

My surgery is scheduled for May 20th. I can't wait!

** I do want to warn you guys that Dr. Harris will give you a rushed feeling. Like as if he were in a hurry. Please dont be discouraged by this. He will stay and answer all of your questions but you NEED to ask them. He did a GREAT job with my butt implants and that is why I am going back to him again.

So nervous! Here are some before pics.
