Baby got back!!!!!!!
I’m in love with my new hourglass figure. My abdomen and back are still swollen, so I’m still compressing. I’ve gained weight after the surgery. I believe my results will be more vavavoom if I lose 10-15 lbs. This is going to be my new year resolution.
Feel free to ask any questions you may have about my surgeon, MIA aesthetics, the recovery or the whole process.

What recovery house did you stay in

I didn’t stay in a recovery house. I stayed in a hotel.

Hi I’m considering going to Mia but hearing bad reviews. How is Mehio? Does he aggressively remove fat
January 24, 2020
Dr. Mehio has great bedside manners. He is soft spoken and answered all my questions. I was so nervous and scared as I was laying on the operation table. He sensed my nervousness, so he grabbed my hands and started having small talks with me. His daughter and my daughter have the same name. We talked until the anesthesia kicked in. He was super aggressive with fat removal and I was skin on bones on my lipo areas after the surgery.
Mehio is awesome. Mia is trash. I’m not even sure if they have an office manager. Their customer service is below average. When I went there for my last post op appointment, the waiting area was packed with ladies who were there for their massage. Some have been waiting for more than 2 hours. I was so glad I didn’t get my massage there. I believe the guy who does the massage at Mia doesn’t even speak English.

I spoke with Yvette at Mia and she was very rude. She had Holly to upcharge my friend quote,. Holly quoted one amount and I asked Yvette about my quote being more. She isn’t the person I want. Can I change consultants? Dr. Mehio needs to know she’s an liability
January 24, 2020
You can definitely change concierges. What’s is her reasoning for increasing the quote you were previously given? They usually send you the quote via email, so they should honor the original quote.
January 24, 2020
She had none. I asked her why was my quote more for bbl than my friend”s. She asked me for my friend name and Holly called and raised my friend quote. I didn’t want to hurt my friend quote just was puzzled by her quote being cheaper and she’s having TT and bbl. please tell me what can be done
January 24, 2020
Yvette quoted me $7500 for bbl. and Holly quoted her $6900 for TT and bbl

Switching Doctors

Zora1984
I spoke with my coordinator today- It took me 3 days to get in touch with her, but I was finally able to speak with her. I’ve decided to switch doctors and I’m now going with Dr. Mehio. I tried to switch to him a couple of days after I put down my deposit with Alvarez, but was told I had to pay $1000 penalty. After what happened at MIA last week, they allowed me to switch. Yoohoo! Dr. Mehio does not have any availability on July 10, but luckily for me he has one on the 12th, so I booked that day. I really like his after pictures on IG and he has great reviews here, so I’m happy that I was able to switch to him. I will continue to pray that everything goes well with my surgery.

Hello I go to dr mehio and was curious to know how your surgery went? Did you stay in a recovery house?
November 25, 2019
My surgery went well. Dr. Mehio did his thing. I love my new booty. My abdomen is still swollen, so I’m still compressing. I didn’t stay in a recovery house. I stayed in a hotel and had a lymphatic massage therapist @coraito come to my hotel.
January 14, 2020

January 14, 2020
My surgery was $4150. Yes, the massage therapist came everyday. My first massage was a day after my surgery. I had a total of 6 massages.

Supplies

Zora1984
My surgery is in 2 months. I’ve decided to book a hotel instead of air bnb. My hotel is less than 4 miles from MIA aesthetic, and I paid $450 for 7 nights. It doesn’t have good reviews, but I don’t mind that at all; all I need is a roof and a bed. I purchased some supplies from Amazon. I will be ordering more supplies in a couple of weeks. My dilemma now is which stage 1 fans to buy. I don’t want to spend a lot of money on my stage 1 faja since I will be wearing it for only 3 weeks. What do you suggest?

There was a death at MIA a couple of days ago. Dr Alvarez was the surgeon. I’m reconsidering this whole thing. I will probably go with a different surgeon or cancel the surgery altogether. This is sad. The young lady was only 28. May she RIP.

Have you spoken with them to ask about changing surgeons? Because when I first booked I tried changing from Alvarez to another surgeon and the contract says and they told me it’s like a little over 1k to change surgeons after you book. Please let me know when you speak to them and what they say.
May 16, 2019
I emailed my concierge today to switch to Mehio. I also left her a voicemail but she has yet to respond to my email or call me back. I also messaged MIA on IG and was told my concierge will contact me. I read here that dolls were able to get their refund or switch surgeons. I’m guessing they are waving the $1000 fee. I will try again tomorrow and will definitely keep you posted.
Mehio is $1500 cheaper than Alvarez and his results are pretty good too. Hopefully he can perform my surgery on July 10th as I’ve already booked my hotel, flights, and massages. Palladino is my second option if Mehio is fully booked

I emailed and all the surgeons including Palladino are fully booked for June. That’s what they said but I don’t trust them so I emailed Palladino to double check. I’m stuck with Alvarez and I’m not scared because he has a death I mean this surgery is risky i know that and doctors aren’t gods. I’m just worried cuz this is so fresh and he may not be mentally prepared to get back to doing surgery and might botch me or do a shitty job cuz he had his first death. They get PTSD from it.
May 16, 2019
They all are probably fully booked for July as well. Smh. If none of them is available the 2nd week of July, I will keep Alvarez and pray that everything goes out well. He should give out discount after what happened.

I had the Molina’s band 12 years ago. A girl from my home town died the week before I had my surgery. The death wasn’t fault of the surgeon. She had a blood clot. Any time you have a surgery it is dangerous. I just recently had the band reversed and they sleeve done. Just understand anytime you have surgery it is dangerous.
May 16, 2019
indeed! Surgeries are dangerous. The girl died from fat embolism. So sad!

Which hotel did you stay at ?
