Carlos Gonzalez Legarda, MD

Ongoing battle with the fat growth around the tummy and sides
There was excessive fluid for the first few days and the doctor arranged a professional to help pressure the liquid out.
The swelling takes a few weeks to go and the results never really met my expectations
The process is quite painful and the results 3 years later require the procedure to be repeated.
If I were to do this again I would prefer to have a hospital facility where I would remain in the operating facility.
The amount of liquid excreted is quite a lot and being moved and transported is quite a paiinful uncomfortable experience.
sitting up sleep for the first 2-3 nights and a lot of pain killers are normal

Dr Carlos is truly amazing doctor most importantly an amazing human being. He is kind, caring and honest! I traveled to Colombo two times to see him and I will always go to him for surgery. I had tummy tuck, fat transfer, lipo and breast implants with lift. Few of my friends went from Canada to Colombia to see him because he is that good at what he does! I love my results. If you want a honest good doctor, Dr Carlos is the right doctor.

In September viaje a Colombia hacerme una mini tummy tuck y también cambio de implantes con revision de MIs scars. Nunca Devi hacerme nada con este doctor se me complicó todo en primer lugar nunca me dio antibióticos después de la cirugía poniéndome mal en 4 días que tuve q llamar un doctor de emergencia. Cuando llegue a mi país se me infectó mis cicatrices dejándome ahora unos huecos que ahora tengo q esperar y buscar un buen doctor. Tengan mucho cuidado a donde vayan. Para que no les pase lo q a mi me sucedió.

Greetings to all the lovely people of RS (dolls, dudes and doctors too)! I do not know how to start this because I am not a blogger and I am a frustrated writer. I was just enamored by the love and support of all the people in the RS community who answered my questions and inquiries - doctors who gave free consultations, men and women who shared their experiences (I do have a good laugh and few tears reading each stories. I also learned few phrases that I will keep in mind like "it is your money it is you who decide", "suck me dry" from a guy telling his PS while having his lipo done and the like), find time to answer questions and the moderators who keeps pushing us to share our stories. So I guess this is mine. Right know I am choosing my doctor. I am not rushing actually, I have been stalking this website since early 2015 and became a member in 2016. This 2017, I have decided to push my goal because "I am not getting any younger and I know beauty fades through time". I am tired of saying to my self I wish this and I wish that. Fast forward, after sending my pictures to the doctors I am interested to have the work done (No offense, all the doctors are great but I have to choose what best suits me based on my BUDGET, distance and procedure.). I greatly appreciate the honest doctor/s who turned down my request because they know that they are not confident doing the procedure because of my case. Some never replied because I always mention that I am undergoing transition and some did not reply once I said what I am (I am not offended but please better say "no" politely than a no reply at all). Some doctors are too busy to reply and some takes time to understand what they mean. Nonetheless, if that doctor really interests me then I will keep sending message until everything is clear as the blue sky. I used to be obese and I was always a fat kid. To all my fluffy sisters and brother out there you know the challenges we have been through growing up. I envied to all the dolls that say "I want my old body back" - while me, nope no way. I want a body that I never had. Kisses to all

I'm about to have my consultation for my bbl on Wednesday with the liposuction and cosmetic surgery institute. I'm already a curvy girl but I really want my butt to be more plump and I want alot of fat removed from my thighs. I was just wondering if my ass will be hard after...I don't want it to be all hard and lumpy and some pics I've seen look that way

I just got back home to chicago from Bogota Columbia. I was there for 10 days and had liposuction of my thighs, inner knees, stomach, and back. And a fat transfer to my butt and upper lip.

I feel sore and very hard and lumpy but my doctor said its normal and im healing fine. My bruising has gone down dramatically but im still sooooo lumpy and swollen and hard. My stomach is alot smaller then it was despite the fact that its very swollen and hard. Im hoping the massages im giving myself bring down the swelling and soften the skin a lilttle faster.

I dont like that im soo lumpy but I have lost a few inches and almost 15 pounds of fat. My butt doesnt look as big as I want but im hoping it will look bigger once the swelling from my back and stomach goes down. My doctor said that if I wouldnt have transfered fat to my butt it would look wayy smaller after all the liposuctuon so im glad I did the transfer. Im definitely going back to columbia when I fully heal for a second round of lipo and fat transfer. I want my but wayyy bigger lol.
