“I WAS RIPPED OFF & LEFT WITH A DEFORMED BODY!!!!!”
Spent: $8,500 in Aventura, FL
I am 5'6 163 lb. mother of 4 children, 38 yrs old and do not recognize my body anymore. I have muffin top around my waist, I no longer see my butt definition, it has disappeared and is aligned with my back.I have upper inner thigh fat pockets and no amount of dieting or excercise is helping the stubborn fat areas, Lunges and squats are not helping my butt. After much insecurity and shame, I have finally surrendered to the fact that a BBL is the only way I can be free from this situation.
I have been researching doctors on Florida's east coast for approximately 1 year, I have entertained the possibility of staying with a family member in Dominican Republic in order to save money; and I have had 3 consults thus far. FINALLY I have found my doctor and I am so exciting. The ironic part of this story is that when I realized that everything was pointing to Dr.P, he just so happened to appear on the today show that next monday with Kathy & Hoda. The results of the women that he worked on were so beautiful, and his mannerism along with his credentials were very impressive.
The next day I had an I-Consult with him in which I was able to send him pictures and see him morph my body into a very similar dipiction of results. The I-Consult that I had with Dr.P was more thorough than the hands on consult that I had with two other dr.s on the east coast. He is genuine, he about your satisfaction, he is harvard educated, and he is the One!!!! His Coordinator is phenominal as well..very sensitive to this major decison in your life.
I am so excited for March 25th.. Can't wait and I will be sure to keep you posted.

Well 1 more week to go and I am so excited. I have my pre-op on Monday and 3/25 is my day. Can anyone who has fatty abdomens with loose skin from pregenancy tell me what there stomach looks like after all that lipo and no tummy tuck? I am so excited to get rid of this "Sponge bob square butt".
My Procedure is actually 6500, but the surgical facilty, anesthesia, and garment are 2,050.

IT WAS SO WORTH IT!!!!! WOW WOW WOW!! I had surgery this morning, and i feel great. I am really swollen, but even with my swelling my body looks better than it did. The Doctor, and the surgery center were so wonderful. This has been a great experience and i oul do it all over in hearbeat. I will post some before an afters tomorrow for those women that have the same body type as I had. Ladies you will feel sore, but that should be it. i am able to walk and do anything just with soreness. This is cake compared to C-section.

He is a sweet talker and seems so sincere in his desire to give you what you want. He is promised that in the event that you I need touch up or reconstruction surgery he would not charge me and is CHARGING ME TO FIX HIS MESS THAT HE LEFT ME. He is so greedy that he is charging me $4,000. I am DEFORMED!!!!! I plead with him and he would not bufge. This all seems like it cant be real, but it is. I am going to have this disaster fixed on March 12th, by the highly skilled Dr.S, and he is charging me less to fix it then the man who destroyed my body. I know tyhis may sound dramatic, but this is my body and I pray that none of you beautiful women ever have to endure this. I have 4 children and will have to go through all of this healing time and money that I dont have to fix this, but it happened, and that is why I need you to know my story, so that it does not happen to to you!! BE CAREFUL!

Dr. Pazmino has offered to fix the deformity and include the Tummy Tuck that I needed anyway at NO CHARGE. I will only be responsible for the Hospital fee.

Today is day 3 and it is teh worse so far. Sore and sollen.. slow process, but worth it!!Everytime I look in the mirror.
Are you satisfied with the results that you've got? have you kept majority of the fat? How long before the swelling went down?
Any before and after pictures?
