AMAZING EXPERIENCE!
After doing lots of research, I decided that on Dr. Mendieta because of his track record and because of the results that he has provided with beautiful BBL results that look natural.
PRE-OP
I was escorted into a room and took before pics, then talked to various team members to take my payment and meet Dr. Mendieta. He has really good bedside manner, and he was so honest about my expectations. I was really excited and happy about my procedure, everyone was kind and things went so smoothly. The office was clean, sanitary, and very organized.
BEFORE SX
His team gave me and my fiancé an entire packet and my prescriptions. They made sure we talked about literally everything and discussed the process so I had no questions. They asked me multiple times if I had questions to ensure I felt good about everything. I took a Valium the day before because I was so anxious and nervous, so I am glad they gave me my rx the day before.
SURGERY DAY
SX was scheduled at 6AM, they told me to show up at 545. I showed up and did not wait at all, did the preg test and waited about 10 mins before Dr. Mendieta marked me up. I talked to the nurses and anesthesia, and they went over everything again. As someone that has worked in an Operating Room and as a nurse whose been practicing as a healthcare worker for over 10 years; this place was amazing. The staff and the office was immaculate. Super clean, I did not see a speck of dirt anything unsanitary in the office, and I was looking! The nurses pre-op got me ready, they took every infection control measure possible. I would 100% recommend this surgeon and I give his practice an A+ for cleanliness.
POST OP
The nurses were really helpful. I also worked with another doctor who was there and checked my drains 5 days post op when they were hurting and she removed one. Then the 7th day I had the other drain removed. Both drains were draining less than 25cc/24 hours so they were ready. One of the nurses was in training and I said it was ok if she worked with me, but her English was not the best and I had to have another nurse clarify some information before my final post op day. Other than that little hiccup which is barely worth mentioning, everything was PERFECT and I felt so safe, confident, and secure about the entire procedure.
I would 100% recommend Dr. Mendieta. I am loving my results, my body looks amazing!!!!!! I would also recommend people reading these to go to instagram and look up Mendieta dolls for more details and in depth pictures! My little pooch is gone and I cannot thank Dr. Mendieta enough for the amazing flawless experience. He has changed my life and I would recommend him ALL DAY!

Thank you so much for your detailed experience. I will be going to him in September 2020. I’ve been searching RealSelf for experiences like this . I can’t wait at all. I’m so ready to become a better me.

Your welcome!! It really was a good experience from beginning to end. I never felt pressured or uncomfortable about anything and all the ladies in the office and staff were really nice. It really helped put me at ease during the entire experience! Goodluck!

Did you do the jplasma with your BBL? I’m debating if I want to do it or not . If it’s not worth it I won’t do it because that’s additional $2000.

Was it worth it?

Thank you for posting this, it's very informative. Did you bring wish pics for him the day of surgery? Was he able to tell you the CCs he was going to put in your butt? I'm trying think about all I would ask him & not regret or leave out a detail :)

I answered your question above! I’m on my other account

My coordinator told me to send wish pics via email. I sent her a front, back and side view of what I wanted. She had them printed out during my pre-op visit so Mendieta can see what I wanted before sx. He didn’t tell me the the CCs he put in, I didn’t really ask though.

You look great. I’m scheduled with him for August 25th... just wondering what type of iron vitamins did you take to prepare for the surgery?

How was ur surgery ?
July 11, 2020
You look amazing! Was wondering, did you have any transferred to your hips or just the buttocks? Also, how did recovery go with the inability to sit flat or sleep on your back or sides? That's the part I'm most concerned about with lower back problems and a lower spinal fusion. TIA

Everything going good so far! Just wanted to update my pictures so you guys can see how amazing my results look!! In case I didn’t mention earlier, I used to stay I pretty good shape but could never get my abs to show or grow a butt after 10 years of going to the gym, and even with consistent dieting I could not get the shape I wanted. After I did a shred and got down to my lowest body fat percentage I have ever been at in my life, weighing 132 lbs and being 5’7; I decided on having a BBL. I was strict dieting and lifting weights at a competition level, and I Finally accepted that my genetics could not give me the body I wanted!
