I stand at 5'0" about 160 pounds, still fighting to lose weight, but its more for safety reasons in surgery, because I love my curves. Well I decided to start a new review for this second stage of my transformation, since my last surgery was very hard to recover from, I want to put that all behind me and look forward. It was hard mentally, to get to the point of wanting to have surgery since I had such a hard recovery. All I could think about is what could happen, and how having surgery carries risks, and I know first hand the risks. I also spent a lot of time looking in the mirror and trying figure out if I could be happy with only having half of my goals met. I had the extended TT and even with all the complications I faced, the results have been amazing. My body is so so so so much better then before. I feel so much more confident, but when I look at my breast, I feel half done. So I made up my mind that I am willing to take the risk again and finish what I started! Of course I am going to stay with Doctor Pantoja, I wouldn't have it any other way. Its nice to know that your surgeon will be there through anything and everything. And he is that type, a wonderful man, and he really does have magic hands! just look at my before and after pics, and you will see what I mean! So here we go ladies, my round 2 for a BA/BL (anchor) and I will be getting my tummy tuck scar fixed, so basically a mini TT. I am also considering lipo to my inner thighs and possibly my back. All depends on if Doctor P thinks its safe to do so.

Go love thanks for posting I'm thinking of getting my boobs done with him as well how much did he quote you and what size u getting
February 21, 2016
I was quoted $3,500 for my lift and implants. But we haven't worked out the final number because I have a credit from first surgery since I didn't do the BBL or lipo of the waist like I originally planned. As far as size, I'm not sure, I would like to go pretty big, but I am going to listen to what Dr. P suggests, since he is the expert and I want to be symmetrical. I do tend to like more roundness and less projection. I am still looking for pics of what I like to show him.

That small fat roll you have under ur arm did he say that cna inprove it with implants I have a small roll as well lol

I believe I will have an extended incision from my anchor lift to address the fat roll! but I no issue with bigger scar because Dr. p makes his incisions so straight I'm sure ill be able to hide the scar in a bra or bikini top :)

Aww you look awesome hon, and they are just how you wanted them! :-) On pics of breast that were 4 weeks post you said 1 week more to go to remove breast stitches. How do you remove the stitches 5 weeks out if you flew to Mexico for the surgery. Were you going back there frequently? TFS, this gives me hope for the lift I need!
April 28, 2016
Thanks! Yeah I give lots of hope to women out there, I was a mess pre op lol! I live in southern cali so I go back to Mexico for all my post op appointments, it is only about 2.5 hours drive.

30 days until I head to Mexico!

Super excited! But at the same time I realize I only have 30 days to try and drop some more weight. I would ideally like to be about 15 pounds lighter, so I can be in better shape for this surgery. I am way better off this time then last time that's for sure, I was like 193 or something last time I went in. So if I can be at 150-155 I would be happy, but 165 is still probably ok if I don't lose much lol. I am more concerned with eating healthy and taking my iron pills as I have always had trouble with that. Getting check up with blood work done in about two weeks to make sure I am on track. Here are some pics of what I would like my breast to look like. My husband wants me to go big lol, but I really want to make sure they still look natural and not two big balloons under my chin haha. I work with kids and I think it would be bit embarrassing to come back from my break with huge boobs that I cant really hide! If I was younger I would totally go for the [RS bleep] star boobs, but I want to still love them in 10 years when I'm in my 40s. So I guess we will have to see what me and the hubby decide in the end. I think my husband may be more excited them me, lol, he was so amazed by my transformation so far he cant wait to see what Doctor P and do with my breast. I married an amazing man. He was with me when I was 220 pounds!! Yikes!! through weight loss and tt complications, he has always been by my side and tells me I'm beautiful no matter what. We have been together since we were 17, and he has liked me since we were in middle school! lol there is no love stronger then what we have. And he has proved that to me, considering I let myself go after kids and he is still the same tall sexy man he has always been. Damn I feel lucky to have him by my side! But I am on my way to totally getting my sexy back! Also has motivation to get this surgery and lost some weight, my hubby booked a vacation at the end of April to Cancun! I just hope my healing process is smooth as that will only give me 5 weeks to recover. Has anyone had open incisions still on breast at 5 weeks? I'm hoping I'll be able to swim by then......
