5DoxieMom 87 Posted May 11, 2013 I just put a deposit down for an extended TT with Dr. Carmina Cardenas in TJ, MX. I'm looking for anyone who has any knowledge or opinions, good or bad. Please PM me, if necessary. I guess I should have asked this before I booked my date for Sept. Thanks in advance for any info Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freespirit63 112 Posted June 10, 2013 I just saw your post. I had many surgeries dine by her and I have only positive things to say. When is your surgery and what are you getting done? Where are you recovering Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
princesstia 190 Posted July 2, 2013 i have a lot of mixed reviews about this surgeon. there is a great site you can go to and find out everything you need to know about any procedure your looking to have as well as the top surgeons who do them. Cardenas has loads of reviews on the site as well. Realself.com great site! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freespirit63 112 Posted July 9, 2013 There is a weirdo on that site who says she hated Cardenas results after 2 days out of surgery then 4 months later she loved it. I read that and when I went to TJ with my friend for her sleeve, I saw Dr Cardenas assistant and asked her about it. She said this lady was back and forth with the procedure, one day she wanted next day she didnt. Finally on the day of her ride bailed on her. Fatimeh asked her if she still wanted it. She said yes and Fatimeh has arranged a ride for her that morning. The day after surgery she was already complaining about results and Fatimeh and Dr Cardenas told her that you have to wait 6 months for final results. I am totally in agreement with that. Aslo you have to eat healthy and exercise or results will be sabotaged. Guess what...I am an emotional eater and ate too much. Now I am paying the price. We have to listen to our doctors for the most part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was wider but I didnt see any projection. Fast forward one year later, and my butt has taken on a life of its own! Lol I think it was around month 7 that it started "fluffing." Im super happy with my results Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freespirit63 112 Posted September 7, 2013 She knows what she is doing. I am a bit wider too but that is because she added some to thighs to smooth the lines if you know what I mean Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
