Hi sista's here at realself.... it's been awhile since my last review. Here is a pic of me a year and half later. ...I am still looking into a bbl revision. That was put on hold due to having a lump on my right breast . It was a big scare...thank God that all test we're good and it was benign. If anyone has questions or doubts about Dr. Cardenas PM me.... she is a Wonderful,Caring, Talented Dr. :)

Have you considered a bbl with dr campos or pantoja ? Check them out ;)

I have looked into Pantoja and Campos and well they are great surgeons and are very talented...I decided to go outside the box for more aggressive liposcuptuture. :)

Hi, I am thinking of having a mommy make over with BBL with Dr. Cardenas.
What pearls can you pass on?
Thanks!

As you can see she is such an amazing Dr. Her specialty is Tummy tucks. She is the "tummy tuck queen" hands down! :)
My breast scars are not too bad but breast are uneven you probably can't tell. My left breast is dropping some, my right breast had a reaction to suture which caused a large mass this is not Dr. Cardenas fault but she offered to fix and was only going to charge for anesthesia and meds ($300) Unfortunately I was not able to go and have this fixed due to not having money to fly there still would have had expenses. As for BBL the fat that was grafted was lost. Having to lay most of the time on back putting pressure on the butt is not good. I went to Miami to have a second round. I'm 5 months postop op. I totally recommend Dr C but do not recommend having BBL with mommy make over. Have any question let me know and good luck hun! :)

Dr. Salama quote
Hi ladies. Here is Dr. Salama bbl package special deal and Dr.'s suggestions:
$9,499. That price is all-inclusive for the surgery. The liposuction areas that are included in the Brazilian Butt Lift are:abdomen, flanks, and upper & lower back. Included in the surgical package is:
· Surgical fee

Each additional area of liposuction will be $500. In order to make your journey convenient and relaxing, Dr. Salama is pleased to inform that we’ve partnered with Serenity Recovery Retreat to offer full service recovery stay.

Typically patients stay about 10 days post-operatively so the doctor can monitor your recovery and make sure you are well enough to travel back home. Please make sure this time is available.
THIS IS DR. S SUGGESTIONS FOR ME:
Hello Sandra,
I hope you are doing great and thank you very much for sending in your pictures so quickly. I did have an opportunity to show them to Dr Salama and the following are his comment:
“ Patient is a good candidate for the BBL but I do need her to gain some weight. She has some fat in the areas that I will liposuction but I will need more, I would say about 10-15 lbs. The areas that I will lipo is the abdomen, back and flanks. I will use the fat to inject in her buttocks for more fullness and projection. As long as she gains some weight I foresee giving a good result. Judging from her pictures it does not look like she needs a thigh and arm lift and I cannot do them at the same time as the BBL. I can however liposuction her arms as that is a common request and with proper compression the skin should retract. Overall she is a good candidate.”
Nancy one of Dr. Salama's patient coordinators has been very helpful and informational so far. The only concern I have is having to gain weight for this procedure. I currently fluctuate from 155lbs to 160lbs. Last year before my sx with Dr Cardenas I was 30 pounds heavier and went on a diet due to dealing with hypertension. Im scared if I gain 15 pounds I will start having issues with high blood pressure again. Idk if that is a normal procedure for some dr.s to suggest gaining weight. Maybe some of you dolls can shed some light on this topic. Thanks

Huge difference in your before and after pic with Dr. Carmina Cardenas she did an awesome job! Have you seen Dr. Pantoja's BBL & lipo jobs? He does really really really good ck out some of his work here on realself :-) i am going to Dr. Cardenas in April for TT revision, Lipo to upper and lower back as well as Fat transfer to my booty I have but so I just want it filled back up in some areas :-) do you have a most recent pic that you could share?
January 8, 2015
I have another review you could see more recent photos and have already paid my deposit with Dr. Fisher. I am so super excited and can't wait for the liposculpture and bbl! :-)

What is the name of your new review? So these are the last pics of cardenas work?
June 27, 2015
hello! May I please ask what is your other profile name for your Fisher review? And why did you decide to go with a different doctor, instead of sticking with Cardenas for round two? Thanks
