My experience with Dr. John Garcia was just what I expected. Every moment spent with him felt just right! Which is important because we’re doing something we all know is scary but something we want to feel good about ourselves. I didn’t have time in the morning before my surgery to pray, John Garcia made sure without asking and seriously God works in mysterious ways! He prayed just minutes before my surgery with the whole medical team so that everything can come out well! This

Top-notch Results
Procedure/doctor: I did full body liposculpture, ab etching and bbl with Dr. Garcia. I have to say the guy really knows what he's doing. He's detailed, meticulous and takes his time to carve your body. He seems soo careful and listens to your needs. He did an extraordinary job, I love my body, it's exceptional! You will see from my pictures how beautiful he works, my jaw drops when I see myself, my hat goes off to him. He loves his job, this was obvious! I speak Spanish and so

I was 175lbs before my sx. I am now 165lbs. Dr. Garcia was able to remove 15liters of fat. I was his only SX that day and i was very happy about that. My results are good. I need a rd 2 to fix a few things Updated on 5 Jan 2019: The Dr is great he got 15 liters on my rd1 and im content with my results. I am now waiting for my Rd2 pricing.. for him to look at a few things and fixed and to perfect my body. Overall im happy and hope to return to him for my rd2.
Ive been told the dr. extracts as much fat as he can and that he is a perfectionist which is good but it explains why you are in so much pain post surgery. This is the only reason why ive given 4 stars because of the pain ive been through other than that the dr. his staff and the results have been 5 *+ The drainage massages at first are extremly painful, I honestly felt i was living a nightmare everytime I had a massage and wanted to run away but roughly 4 massages later the
The search for a doctor was a long process but after reviewing many doctors we (my husband and I) felt safe and assured with Doctor John Garcia from Cali, Colombia. We choose him because of his reputation and clear talent from his before and after photos of his patients. Most plastic surgeons know the mechanics of plastic surgery but don't have the artistic eye to craft the body into harmonious curves. John is different. He knew exactly what areas would be best to leave along

Love Him!
I have planned surgery for July 2018 (mommy makeover) and I'm now wondering if anyone has any reviews for Dr. John Garcia Serna? He's in Cali, Colombia. I see great before and after pics and he was highly recommended by a colombian friend but I'd like to know if anyone has had a real experience with him. Updated on 29 May 2018: Almost 1 month away!!! So excited but sooo nervous! I,m not sure what compression socks I need to take, does anyone know? Updated on 19 Jun 2018: OK

Terrible Experience
i went to Colombia, to do a arms lipo, chin lipo and a breast lift, due to the fact that i am Colombian i though i would get better results there than here in the US, unfortunately i feel rob cheated and lied, by the doctor and his medical staff, I told him the main reason for doing the arms lipo was the upper arm fat I had fat in my whole arm, but my main problem was that area, in which he did a terrible job, removing all the fat except for that area, leaving my arms fat in the

The worst decision in my life
READ ALL / see all pics of before and after! My body has been left so much WORSE off since Garcia operated on me in November 2020 - this is an example of his ability destroy your fit body! I’m a 23 year old, 175cm, fit guy, however when I was a teenager I put on a lot of weight quickly and then when I lost it I was left with some loose skin just below my belly button, but NOTHING major to the eye or camera (as you will see on my pics), only if touched it was noticeable.

Lipo 360 BBL
I had SX on December 10, 2018 with John García. I had lipo 360 including arms and thighs, jplasma and BBL. I was happy with my results EXCEPT this “seroma, fat pocket, fat necrosis” that was on my left cheek. The pocket was created during surgery, Garcia stated that it was “inflammation” and I told him that I was willing to stay longer but he made me feel comfortable so I trusted him. 3 months went by, it’s still there, no pain, no fever, no infection, not smaller or bigger, just
