In 2006 I had butt implants done in Texas where I live and after 5 months I developed seroma and I had to have them removed. First of all my biggest mistake was getting it done by a doctor who had no experience on this specific procedure. He actually charged me 50 percent less so that he can perform the surgery in front of another professional doctor so that he can get his license to do butt implants. This doctor is a good plastic surgeon but not in butt implants! So when I had my butt implants removed after having them for 5 months I was left with even a flatter butt than before and with large indentions because my tissue had got stuck on the implant and was torn off. So I've been walking around with a deformed butt for some years.
So finally after searching for different surgeons, different implants, and different butt enhancement procedures I decided to book my appointment with Dr. Rito Marino from Bogota, Colombia!
We emailed each other back and fourth with a million questions that I had and he would reply in 3 to 5 days later. I also started making 1,000 payments and calling his secretary Nancy to confirm that they received. Let me tell you if you think you cAn communicate with Colombian people because your speak Spanish because your parents are from Mexico then you are wrong! Their Spanish is so different! For girls that decide to go over there let me help you out with something. If they say "cancelar" it doesn't mean "cancel " it means payment was successful. We where back and fourth talking and confused about this for about 30 minutes. It was frustrating. Lol Really! Who would've known! . So I set my date for 7/24/14, but had to get get there 2 days before to do blood work and test. I'm so blessed to have an awesome brother who went with me.
Airplane ticket cost $950 a piece round trip for 2 weeks from Texas to Colombia. That's a total of $1,900

Dreamscometrue did you find a doctor already? I have done some research and I have had friends give me good feedback on Dr. Dario Juris. Maybe you can check with him if you haven't found a doctor yet.

I went to Dr. Rito Marino office in Bogota, Colombia too. I wanted to have a different nose and get a lipo as well. My experience with Dr. Rito Marino was not good at all! All he cares about is money. Doesn't matter what you want to hear from his point of view as a surgeon, all he cares is money. The place that you see on his website is different when you go in person. The ceiling is falling from leaking because of lack of maintenance of the building. You won't even find paper toilet in the public mini-restroom there. In the front desk you will see one receptionist (Nancy) which is also, who set appointments, payments, tell you what to do before surgery, give you coffee, check your whole case and clean his office too. The bottom line for me to cancel surgery with Dr. Marino was when I went to my appointment with anesthesiologist Dr. on the same building in a really bad condition office with a wonderful gentleman who I believe is over 90 years old, so his body shake without intention, to get a general check before surgery. Don't even want to say anything about the place he offers you if you come from another country. Look nice on the website, very disappointing in person. Please just give yourself a second choice if you want to go to Colombia to get a surgery. Yes they have the best surgeons in Colombia but Dr. Rito Marino is not one of them, even though you see such a nice website. Hope to save you! I wish someone told me before I waste my time and money.

? I went to his office and is nothing like you are describing. Now you are saying that you cancelled the appointment? So if you didnt have the procedure with him how come you have the Authority to rate him as a surgeon?
