Topic: RE: Royal lower body lift with Dr Carmina Cardenas in Mexico

WOW, I am so happy for you! That tummy and those curves! Wow,

I would love to see the before and after pics! Did you also have your breast done!

I am hoping to have my plastics next year and have to go to Mexico to be able to afford it.

Could you please tell me everything you had done and the cost. Was the aftercare center for a week included?

Did they do lipo?

Thank you

Tammy

Topic: RE: Three months post LBL, eight months post arm lift - just checking in.

Hello,

I have not seen any photos, before or after and would LOVE to. I also am waiting to win the lottery:) What doctor did you use, how much did it cost, where was the doctor located. Did the LBL include a full tummy tuck? What else did you LBL include

Thank you so much for answering these questions.

Topic: money for plastics

Hello, I am truly wondering how people afford plastic surgery. I have about $20,000 worth of plastics I am wanting and that is the price in Mexico.

I am getting out of debt this year and next year I am saving my tax return and other monies and hope that I can save half of that. I also have care credit however, the interest rate is 24%

Thank you,

Tammy

Hi! I had my thigh lift done on Jan 10th and I started reading your journey during my recovery so far. I have lots of questions I would love to ask you. Also just wanted to let you know that your story has helped me a lot. The thigh lift has been much more painful than I expected. I also had a Mons lift and some Lipo done around the love handle areas. You are a great writer as well. I enjoyed the parts about your roommates And loved the honesty you told that you don't hear from other recovery blogs. Hope you are doing well in your recovery!!

Topic: RE: Anyone looking for compression girdles?

I also have a couple pieces of compression wear I'd be happy to send off to a new home:

Marena Ankle-Length Compression Girdle - size L, black

Design Veronique Compression Arm Sleeve with Adjustable Cotton Knit Bra - size L, black

Just drop me a line if you're interested in either/both (I'm in Canada, so Canucks may want to take advantage of that!).

Topic: Anyone looking for compression girdles?

Hi all - I have some compression girdles that I no longer need and I'm wondering if anyone is interested in them?

Ankle length, fully separating zippers - I've got these in sizes XL, L, and M. (Measurements are on the site and taken around the widest part of the hip.)

Ankle length, not fully separating zippers - M

Above the knee girdle, fully separating - M

Arm compression sleeves - S

Below the knee girdle, fully separating - L

If you're interested in any of these, please private message me and we can work something out.

Thanks for your input. I will talk to my surgeon more about it and see what it would take.
