Surgery Booked
$6,000
I'm booked with Dra. Tania Medina for April 18, 2017. I am interested in a surgery buddy as well. Even though I have someone coming with me I still want to share the experience with someone that's getting snatched so they can endure the pain with me. My last surgery I was in PAIN the first week or two. I was a transformation, but I think the BBL has evolved since then. I added more wish pics. I am in love with Dra. Tania Madina's communication and her work. I've even talked to her husband (Who is a Bariatric Surgeon) and they both speak excellent English. You can see all of Dra. Medina's YouTube videos if you don't believe me. Good luck Dolls. See you again soon. Random pics and wish pics included.

I am dreaming about my surgery now. I'll be laid up in the late fall early spring healing and on the road to recovery, but come summer time baaabbeeeee!!! You're gonna have to tell me to put some clothes on. 30 something and loving it. Beaches. Check. Private pool parties. Check. My beau in tow of course. Convertible. Check. At home strip tease for my beau. Double check.... I love me some me.
Yes ladies you have to love yourself first and let the surgery be the icing on the cake. I say that because if you already don't love yourself and your surgery doesn't come out the way you mentally pictured it then you may be disturbed and still not satisfied. I think any improvement is better than none though.
Anyway I think Medina is the way to go. So, I've officially changed my doctor for the third and final times to Dra. Medina. I pray I've made the right decision.
Good luck ladies and dolls.

So torn..... HELP!!! Which doctor and Why??! Medina, Yily, Cabral
I'm having issues with making this decision. I'm now leaning towards Dra. Medina. Her work is "amazing" as she always says in her YouTube videos. Lol. She is also now a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) which makes me feel even more comfortable with her. My quote with recovery house for a tummy tuck with muscle repair, breast lift and gummy bear type silicone implants and bbl if I have enough fat is $6000. The recovery house is an additional $750 ($75 per night for 10 nights) plus $100 for transportation. $150 for insurance, $250 for medications, 10 massages $300 ($30 per massage). Considering my beau is going as well, that's another $55 per night and $100 transportation costs. So I guess grand total is $8200 plus flight which is about $600 roundtrip for us both. Not bad considering every imperfection on my body will be fixed.
I like Dra. Cabral, but I hear of so many horror stories and honestly more positive feedback. I'm straddling the fence with him. Emailed and WhatsApp him and no quote yet. I sent less than a day ago though.
Dr. Yily said $6200 all inclusive. That's lipo of the abdomen, armpit areas (bra fat areas), full back, flanks and waist, BBL, Breast Lift with Implants, Recovery House 10 days 9 nights (triple room), Guest is $65 per night so $650, Round Trip Airport transport and Roundtrip Transport for all doctors visits related to surgery. Medical Insurance $150, Mandatory Blood Transfusion deposit $250 (will be returned after surgery), $20 for compression socks and $50 for overnight caregiver at CIPLA for one night or free if you have a companion.
Separate: Massages are $25-$30 each and need 10 so $300, $60 Compression Garment for arms if arm lipo'd, Prescribed Meds $250. Grand total: $6810 plus flight RT $600= $7210.
Whew!!!
Ladies, Please please help me in my decision processing. Give me your reasoning for going with or against these docs. Prices are different, but not complaining about that. Just want good work and I'm not getting the work until March 2017.
Thank you so much in advance. Any additional information that I can provide please let me know.

What is your date in March? I'm torn between all the docs you mentioned as well. I have paid my deposit with Yily but i have quotes from Robles, Almonte, Medina, and half a quote from Cabral. I never got an official quote from Cabral just a whatsapp response, none to my email request.
I like Medina because she is the most active on IG, Youtube and Snapchat. I can see her results in the operating room and i really like that. i also like that she is certified by an American plastic surgery organization.
I considered Cabral but his bbl is a little too big and obvious, plus his bad reputation scares me.
Robles is nice, i like her natural figure that she gives. I have really contemplated going to her.
I decided to stick with Yily (for now). There has to be a reason she is so popular and i have already paid my deposit. I also like her results that i see on realself and on IG.

My date with a Medina is actually on April 17. It works for scheduling at home. I didn't research Robles because I became overwhelmed and got tired of switching docs. So I had to make a decision. Thank God I finally did. Cabral's quote was Medina's price with recovery room. Price isn't ultimately the deciding factor, it was his reputation of burning patients and other things.
Yily's work is great, but too many people woke up during surger and said that they saw someone else operating. That scares me.
Medina it is. I also am traveling with a friend, but if I can get a surgery buddy I may contemplate traveling alone. I'm paying their airfare and recovery home stay with me. Decisions decisions.
