Breastlift scar 9 months

WORTH IT
9 months later look at my scars. Surgeon was Dr Gustavo Almanzar in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Perfect size for me (205 cc implants). I should have chosen a couple cc larger for one breast which was more deflated to start with. Didnt think of that.

Day 7 post-op

Went back to clinic for tape change, finally able to see myself. My biggest worry is the shape of my bellybutton, as I’ve seen many horrible ones. Happy with what I see. Hopefully during my next visit (10dpo), drain will be removed

Good day I'm going to DR in 2 days I wanted to know did u have To stay at a hotel prior to going to the recovery house
Many people stay at the same recovery house but that would bore me, to stay in the same place with same people for so long. I would stay at an airbnb for the days before surgery. I luckily have a house in the DR, and stood there during my stay about 2 hours away from the clinic
I'm here now & the staff was rude I had an incredible consultation with the Doctor immediately after I met with his assistant & everything that was said to me in the consultation changed the way I was handled was like they didn't want me as a patient
I’m so sorry you felt that way. You are not the first to say that about the staff unfortunately. But the doctor himself is a sweetheart.

Who are you thinking of going with? There’s a group on facebook with info on lots of doctors, its called Dominican Republic Plastic Surgery & Support.
My surgery date is Thursday I haven't fully crossed him off the list due to his incompetent staff I'm going to have another talk with him tomorrow to try and clear the miscommunication that the assistant has caused
Hi babe you look amazing ! I want to see him for breast lift .. how’s ur scars for ur breast ? Can u update a photo
Yes, Will update photo now!

Tummy Tuck with Muscle Repair, Breaslift with Implants

Awesome experience from beginning to end with Dr Almanzar. He’s my family’s official surgeon, and I trust reviews of loved ones. I started the process from back home in NY. He quoted me via photos and a long questionnaire. I sent a deposit to book a date. 5 days before surgery I had preop work done, which includes a psychologist (this was very surprising, and so important!!) amongst other specialists.

Day of surgery I arrived at 6am. Had covid test done. Was sent to my private room until they prepped me at 8am. Was given the blue pill, wheelchaired to OR, and all I remember is waking up in my room. Nurses were very attentive. I was released the next day. Tomorrow (6dpo) I go back to possibly remove drains, which is what has bothered me the most (a slight burning sensation). Pics to follow.
