I am 3 wks post-op. Butt implants 335ccs round. I stayed in Tj for a week before flying back home to Toronto. Left drains in for 17 days to be sure it was the proper time to remove them. Dr said they must be a urine color fluid. Family doctor removed them and said all is well no sign of infection. I am having right buttock and calf pain not really my thigh. I am told that it is nerves repairing still. Has anyone else experienced this. I have been prescribed Lyrica for a week to see how it goes. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Why are u sooo shocked? Not everyone wants to pay $10,000+ for implants. Good luck in Toronto with the little experience they have in that procedure. My implants look amazing and my doctor is board certified in California. Hes done work Sofia Vergaras breast BA. South American doctors been doing it for way longer than Toronto doctors. U just have to know which one to go and do proper research. Im actual shocked that you think Im gonna show u my pictures after u have nothing nice to say. Butt implants in Toronto waste of money especially if Dr Levine, Sliwin or sean rice is doing them.

nope non of those dr's are doing me. I cant beleive you are offeneded by my question it made me laugh. Well if I was broke i wouldnt cheap out on surgery its our bodies. I would never go to a 3rd war country to get surgery and when something goes wrong you are going to go back to mexico and except your medical insurance to cover it hahahaha good luck with that.

Sorry what was your actual question??? All you said was "Hey, wow im shocked you would go to mexico to get surgery when you have some amazing surgeons in toronto. ??? I am actually coming to Toronto to get my butt implants. Would love to see some pictures." No questions there! Jus you saying how shocked you are I went to Mexico. Obviously Im going to be offended cuz you think so poorly of Mexico.

I chose MX simply cuz I love Dr. Gutierrez Romero ( board certified in California, father is a MD, mother is a surgeon, brother is a dentist, and sister is a psycologist) that has done other procedures on me, my friends, and my family. He has an amazing staff with excellent bedside manner. Your rude and obviously ignorant. Telling someone your shocked at their decision isn't positive or supportive during their recovery and your not very bright to expect that person to show you personal pictures when you display such ignorance. I joined this board for positive feedback and to chat with other friendly people and surgeons related to my surgery, not waste my time responding to your bs. Secondly, OHIP doesnt cover anything in MX nor does my insurance with Great West life. I always pay cash and not stupid to think anything would be covered. I do weekly follow-ups with my family doctor whose brother is a plastic surgeon. So even if something were to happen I would always get a referral or go to emergency room; not fly back to MX. If I did choose to fly back to MX for whatever reason its still worth it to be under the care of a surgeon that specializes in butt implant procedures and not just some surgeon who decided to start offer this procedure within the past few years. Oh, and how the hell would u know what I have in the bank?! Even if I was filthy rich I would still go to Mexico or Brazil cuz that's where the best doctors in buttocks procedures stay. NOT TORONTO! Toronto does have amazing docs jus not in this procedure. You don't think before you talk obviously. You assuming something will go wrong is also really mean of u to wish upon me. No respect for you cuz u a true hater. Im healing just fine 1 month post-op w/ Guti post-operative follows up via phone and my family doctor. BTW you need to educate yourself way more before you make your ignorant/offensive comments. Don't have anything nice or supportive to say then keep it to your bitter self. Laugh all you want bcuz I look stunning, have a bachelor's degree in Commerce and stacks in the bank. You still tryna find a doctor. Lol @ ur life. Stay off my page hater!

Your right girl, i wish i would've research him before he touch me, I'm black women who keloids badly. He never did any celebrities, he only started his practice in 2007. He left me badly scared and i had to have 3 scar revision because of him. I paid for a breast lift, and he never did it, he butchered my body.

this is happening to me now. I just got my implants last week and my right leg and calf really hurts. Mr dr Miranda in Dominican Republic just emailed me and told me to take vitamin B pills and to start sleeping face up. I want to go to the ER just to make sure that everything is okay becuz I am in pain. I would like to know hunny_bee how your right leg feels now that it is a month later

Dr Gutirrez did an mazing job on me. His staff and himself called me every few days to see how Im coming along one month post-op. I do not take any pain killers anymore and it is already starting to feel soft. 9/10 experience.

Stay away from this doctor, it does terrible work, I had my butt and breast implants done by him. He scar me up and my butt implant was uneven. I had to remove them both. Email me if you want the full scoop on him..

Hi hunn bee I'm from Australia new to this site thinking about gettin inplants in near future would love to hear about your experience even if I can see your same doctor and love to see pics? Been worried about it as butt implAnts arnt as common as say breast inplants and you always hear horrible stories but I want them so bad! So going to research as much as I can but finding it hard to find alot of info to make me feel really really sure! Did you have much pain after when could u walk ? how about sitting is it still uncomfortable? With aittle guy running around i want to be prepared for how long id bw out of aftion? Glad your doing well post op! Oh and chick causing drama! Nothing wrong with getting cheaper surgery from good surgeon, alot of people said they would never go to Thailand from Australia for cheaper breast implants around the time I got mine 3 1/2 years ago, I had no problems and a fantastic time holidaying even doing tours 2 days post op. didn't have one problem and now I know 10+ girls from my little town who have been over ( and that's just the ones I know about) some even to same hospital and doctor as mine! And I tell you what there hospital facilty was 5star!!! Like 100 times better then any hospital I've been to here in Australia! The nurse and staff bent over backwards for anything I needed!! With surgery you can get complications where ever you are! You just have to have trust in your dr that he can help you if that happens! Don't stress about trouble makers as long as your happy!!!

Since ur travelling so far I would definitely try nd stay at least ten days. I traveled from Toronto to TJ nd was lucky enough of have a whole row of seats to myself to lay on my stomach the way back. Don't get an implant over 400ccs. The smaller the size the less pain from muscle stretching nd possibilities of complications. Sitting only hurts the first week. U never actually sit on implants cuz they are placed specifically not to be sat on. Walking and bending will be painful for around two weeks I would say nd after that u will be sore. But every day feels better. I will post sum pictures. Haven't gotten around to it because I am still wearing garment nd still swollen. What size are u thinking of getting?
June 27, 2013
^^^^ jeez louise miss "hunny bee" get a grip of thyself lol ladies its only obvious that hunnyrooster is an imposter and either works for the damn dr or is the dr himself. My very close friend went to TJ to get lipo which she btw did not need and one of these phuckheads ruined her body she's now had to get 3 other surgeries that I know of, to fix this, just sad how they can get away with ruining so many young girls lives that way. Listen only person on the defensive are the guilty so get off that high horse and quit pretending your offended about the whole mexico blah blah im Mexican, Mexico is amazing now that's not the topic at hand here were talking about plastic surgery. Just be careful who and where you choose please this is your life and your lifetime results so make a smart and well thought out decision. k peace not war lol

Ur jus a negative person. How sarcastic of u to sign off with "peace not war". Take ur negative nd ignorant comments else where. This board is to help others and exchange info abt anything regarding plastic surgery so step off if u can't play nice. If u don't like Mexico then that's ur damn problem.

So all is well besides the fact that I think my drains were removed too soon. I had the drains in for 17 days. I have a build up of fluid in my right side. Maybe I was too active nd caused it. Now I am on antibiotics again for a month and getting lymphatic drainage massages. I wear my garment 24-7 nd try to do minimal activities. I have gotten a referral to a ps here in Toronto to make sure I am healing well. Thank God I have no fever/chills or heated red area of implant (signs of infection). I do have a small seroma so any advice is greatly appreciated. Please no negative comments. Thank u.
