They still feel weird when sitting down, I wish the dr had also added fat transferes to the area that the implants don't reach....I'm waiting for the three months mark before I give my final opinion.

Mary its been past the 3 months mark on your butt implants. How do they look and feel? Do you like your results? I just had a consult with dr fuentes and he wants me to do bbl. Fat transfer to my butt first the wait 6 months and go back for implants. He says he can't do both at once. Its not safe. Kinda bummed i only have 3 weeks off work this year.

They are ok...he didn't do a great job....they are round on the top but then go square ...look weird....he should have added fat transfers but he didn't, he told me they would change but that hasn't happened and it's been almost one year....I was not real happy with him this last time....he didn't seem to care

Mary, any good updates now? I just got my butt implant with Dr. Fuentes and I feel the same way. They seem like they were placed high. Also, I'm only 3 days post op, but I wanted to know about your recovery during this time. My pain seems to be getting worse each day not better, was this your experience?

Well as you can see...big difference. I'm really pleased with the results took years off my face. I was a little worried at first because I looked so different however after about 6 weeks the swelling calmed down and my lips very natural.

your first pic is so frightening that i almost didn't want to wait and see any more.....but glad that i did. what an amazing transformation... worth the initial scare! did you know it would look this bad before the procedure? would be nice to see current pics.

I also had deep dermabrasion to the upper lip and lower chin area....that's why it's so red, I really didn't know what to expect but I knew that it was going to look pretty bad the first couple of days, I took the initial picture within hours of surgery , he did the lip lift but also odd a lift to both sides of the mouth. The doctor doesn't put any wraps on it because there is a clear medication that is applied over the stitches .

I use to run an aftercare facility and had mostly Dr Fuentes patients. Its been about 4 years now but I must say being an American Rn who is honest Dr Fuentes is by far the best plastic surgeon I know. He does the best face lifts and lipo, he is a very nice man as well. I would highly recommend him. If anyone needs any more info just email me at sherri james 117 yahoo

Mary, I am also looking at having the dermabrasion done to my upper lip, possibly lower. I have a concern, I have heard that one side effect is that when you only have small areas done that you can tell the difference between the different coloring on your face, how is the coloring with your face where you had it done? Could you post recent picture showing that, thanks.

It's more than 3 months since you had your surgeries in Mex. Can you give us an update on all the procedures you had: 1) Lip Lift - any noticeable scars by your nose? 2) Fat Transfers to Face - where were you injected? Did the fat survive? 3) Deep Dermabrasion - did it work? Any long term skin discoloration or hyperpigmentation issues? 4) Chemical Peel - what kind of peel was it and was it applied all over your face? What were the results? 5) Calf Implants - was it painful? Any complications post-op? Did it take a long time to heal before you could walk again? Thanks for sharing and updating. :)

That's my doctor. I had Macrolane injection into my thighs to help after a terrible smart lipo procedure with another doctors. Dr. Fuentes is amazing. You look Great. Very natural.

Wow, it does look scary.  Thanks for sharing your review.  What made you decide on your doctor and to go to Mexico?  How long do you stay there while you recover?

Guy, it really looks way worse than it is , I'm putting a new picture up here day 6. The recovery house is awesome, nurses around the clock, bring all your food to you I don't want to go home !

Wow... do you have any new pictures? I've never read a *positive review accompanying anyone looking that deeply bloodied.

the pic was directly after surgery, it would not require any bandage that would increase the risk of infection, the peel is like a burn 2nd degree burn it would be fire red. Her face is normal for this procedure

You're immediately post pic just looks like a massive infection risk. I don't understand why those wounds wouldn't have been closed and dressed.

There wasn't any open wounds, it was just dried blood.....it looked way worse than it was, it didn't hurt at all ! I was able to eat within hours of surgery .

Someone should have cleaned it. How can they possibly assess the sutures if they're caked with dried blood. I think you're lucky nothing bad happened.

A picture speaks 1000 words. It looks like he did the entire procedure without nurse assistance and without ever once wiping blood away. But what do I know..
