Carlos Ivan Buritica, MD

Had chin, jaw and neck righting! Results were amazing. Minimal to no pain done under local anesthesia! If I could give him 10 stars I would. The process was really easy took about 45 minutes in office under local anesthesia! Best decision I could have made!

The office is nice but I hate results the front desk lady talked me in to getting the chin lipo. I was just going to do j plasma. It was a 20! Min procedure they said in seven days to heal. I’m going on 10 weeks with bumps and lumps neck looks horrible. Updated on 30 Oct 2024: I am still dealing with the bumps and lumps on. My neck. The office never checked back with me to see what else I could have done. They blocked me from posting pictures on social media. The office is more concerned about how many patients they can do in one day. The day I was there to have the surgery the waiting room had at least 10 waiting to be seen by him. The worst thing is that he never responded to be after he did his horrible work. Updated on 9 May 2025: It is 10 months since I had the liposuction and Jplasma . I have spent a lot trying to fix it. But I still hate the results of his horrible surgery. I have used ultrasound and carbon therapy. Some things have helped it but was not worth the risk. People do your research before seeing a doctor out of the country.

I went in very recently for my consultation with the Doctor. The ladies at the front desk were really nice, especially Gaby (she deserves recognition), she was very nice, very informative, and made me feel comfortable. Doctor Buritica was also nice and listened to my concerns and what I wanted, also he gave his honest opinion about what I needed.He also mentioned that it’s important to start getting ready for surgery by exercising (for healthy blood flow throughout the body and heart), eating better, and drinking iron. (so far I'm very happy with this experience, I will be getting surgery in January 2022, lipo and J-plasma on the full abdomen and full back, armpit area, and arms).I will be posting before pictures soon and after surgery. And fully healed pictures too. I'm from Los Angeles, I found Dr. Buritica on Instagram, I really loved his work, I’m sharing my story and pictures because there aren’t much reviews. So here is my surgery journey. Updated on 11 Jan 2022: Pictures taken January 2022 before surgery. So far the experience has been good. The nurses kept in touch, gave me instructions to follow. Make sure to read your instructions 2 weeks before. Some things I bought that are necessary for surgery: Compression socks Loose black pijamas Slip on boot like slippers Post op garment Lipo Foam Ponytail or clip for hair -Antibacterial soap to wash your body before and after -non stick gauze roll Non stick pads Adhesive tape Ensure protein shakes Toothpaste Toothbrush Mouthwash Doggy training pads to lay wear sit or lay because you will be leaking. Iron Pedialyte Updated on 19 Jan 2022: I feel better about my back but It’s too soon to tell. I feel a little unsure about the the front of my body, I have this weird dent under my bellybutton (which the nurse said it was probably because of the faja that dug in and created that dent) I feel really sad about that and I wish I would have not gotten any skin cut. Even though he recommended it because he said the results would be better. My shape feels weird at the moment, but I’m hoping it’s because of the swelling. So I guess now I just have to wait 2-4 months to actually see the results. Updated on 30 Jan 2022: Here are some pictures of the cuts were skin was removed on bikini area, I will be getting the stitches removed. And post pictures in a couple of months for full body pictures, scar pictures, and my overall experience and rating. Updated on 6 Feb 2022: At the moment All I feel is regret and heart break, now I actually miss my old body, I’m really trying to be optimistic but the reality slaps me in the face when I look in the mirror. I’m going to do everything possible to try improve it. I’ll be posting pictures along the way. Updated on 25 Feb 2022: I got the stitches taken out about a month after surgery because no one reached out to me, I’m very disappointed because I should have been advised to get the stitches removed sooner (there was definitely a lack of communication). it was me that reached out because I was feeling pain and noticed wounds and skin are healing over the stitches. So now I noticed I have stitches left. I’m going to schedule an appointment for a doctor in here in Los Ángeles to see if they can remove them. By the way this whole time it should have been the doctor who should have been in touch and aware of me his patient. $11,000 is a lot of money, I feel like I was just sent home to figure it out myself. I know I’m still healing but I have such a lumpy stomach now, it just doesn’t feel right or look right. That’s what I get for not doing more research, I went by pictures I seen on instagram. Not real testimonials and what it looks like after surgery, the healing, the scaring, etc. Patients should really share their experiences.

Updated on 16 Mar 2022: Realized there are more stitches left, one of is causing me pain now and pus came out, all the rest I can feel them inside my skin. This is so frustrating, I can’t believe the lack of concern, this shouldn’t have happened, I will not go back for anything, so now I’m left to pay out of pocket to get my cuts reopened , get more scarring and get the stitches removed. This f sucks Updated on 17 Apr 2022: One stitch came out today on my right side scar, I still have 2 buried under my skin. Really sucks to have to deal with this. I always feel regret but I’m learning to cope and just accept it but it really sucks because everything looks bumpy and uneven. Totally botched Updated on 28 Apr 2022: Almost 4 months post op, I keep on hoping my stomach will look like the post op picture he posted of me on instagram but it’s far from it :( I’m still so bumpy and now the skin looks weird too. I see other women 2-3 months post op from other doctors (in actual videos, turning in different angles) and they look so nice, smooth, and defined, im over here getting worse, I used to have a smooth (kind of flat) stomach but now it’s a mess and I have these ugly scars on my bikini area

1really bad staff member. Dr. Gets upset very easily Dr. Does what he wants or he thinks, and not what patients want. Dr. Does not apologize or accept fault even when you show him in a good way. He takes things offensively no matter how nice you are. Dr. Will not fix mistakes

So I got a BBL 12/19/19 And right away I noticed that there was no projection. I was very disappointed because I purposely gained 10 lbs to harvest more fat for the procedure. The fat grafted to my hips looked great, I had an hour glass shaped (black dress photo ) but after maybe a month or two my hips flattened so did my butt. I went to my doctor 10/02/20 My abdominal and back skin is loose ;( Unfortunately the doctor did not have the laser device ( Vaser? J plasma) Whats very unsatisfactory about this doctor is that when I went for my follow up I asked for advice on what I could do to tighten my skin and he never answered my question, he actually never really answered any of the questions that I asked. My abdominal area has a lot of hardened area on the area where he "defined" my abs. He couldn't tell me why this was hard. I had a bulgy area which to me looked like maybe fluid was trapped in there? He injected triamcilone which I believe is kenalog, and I have a dent there now! Ugh I've also noticed a medium size dent on my right butt cheek which is very noticeable depending on the lighting. ;( ;( I want butt sub muscular implants but I'm not sure how many cc's im thinking 360-400? Oval or round? Updated on 10 Jan 2021:

Every procedure this man did he botched. My nose collapsed, my breast augmentation was supposed to be under the muscles but he put them on top of the muscles and literally cut the muscles so I can never have them under the muscle again. The worst thing is he injected me with silicone and lied to me about it. He said it was Bellafill. The silicone was injected in large volumes that migrated over my face. I’ve had about $100k and 15+ surgeries gone down the drain to try to fix what he did. Stay far away from him. He doesn’t care about his patients. He ruined my face at 19 years old just to save a few hundred dollars.

Horrible I almost died. I came back to the US had to be admitted to the hospital with infections. He ruined my tummy tuck. He photo shopped his pictures and fooled me. When I got there he charged more money making up exscuses. He dont care, staff dont care. Your life is in grave danger with dr. Buritica

Went to see Dr. Buritica, set surgery for a facelift. Gave a deposit of $800 dollars. The day before surgery Dr cancels, then covid. It has now been a year and Dr. Buritica has yet returned my $800 dollars. I call all the time and all I get is a message. I leave a message and no return call... nothing.
