What motivated me into getting butt implants was...

What motivated me into getting butt implants was that after having a baby I lost most of my butt. I always had a weight issue. I can barely gain weight. To some that sounds wonderful, but that made me feel insecure. I decided to place butt implants. Dr. FG decided to place them under the muscle, and transfer the fat to my hips. The fat he grafted came from my stomach. I did not have much fat, but I had enough to fill my hips. This procedure was extremely painful. From 1-10, I experienced a 10. He placed two drainage. One for my butt and the other for my stomach. The stomach one was removed a few days after, and the butt one was removed one week after. At the end it was all worth it. I felt comfortable to walk and sit after 3 weeks. He placed the 2 inch incision between my butt cheeks. My marks are still dark, but with time they will get LIGHTER. Liposuction was not bad. To me it felt more like a burning sensation than pain. I had to wear my compression garment 24 hours a day for 1 month, and 12 hours a day after. My stomach still burns, and I'm still a bit swollen. I did notice that drainage massage is crucial. Not only do you eliminate the liquid inside of you, but the recuperating process is much faster. With every massage I kept feeling better.

Dr. Fernandez Goico is an excellent surgeon. He is attentive to all your needs. He takes his time no matter how many patients are waiting at his office. He makes you feel comfortable and he is extremely gentle. That's what made me love him even more. Walking through the door of his office puts your mind at ease. The ambiance, smell, decor and his lovely assistant makes you feel welcomed and worry free. I've seen other plastic surgeons, and none of them made me feel the way Dr. FG did. He has wonderful bedside manners, patient, and extremely skilled. I am more than satisfied with my result, and happy I went to him. I also like that he keeps in touch with you after the procedure. He feels concerned and you can call/text at any time of the day, and he replies without an attitude or rushing you to get off the phone. I would definitively recommend him without hesitance. Dr. FG rocks!!!!! :)
