17days before leaving for Cali, Colombia to see Dr. Garcia Serna for a 360° BBL+ JPLASMA and breast augmentation. I am getting implants and possibly a lift.
love my body! I have always gotten compliments on my shape AND i alway will.
After deciding that my injury was causing me to gain 50+pounds over 5yrs, I decided that I needed some body contour for 2020.
This is 230lbs at 5'8. My heaviest!

I decided on a breast lift... the procedure is in a few hours and I'm completely settled in at the recovery house. Fasting has begun and I'm desperately removing my own acrylic nails and gel pedicure. Everything and i mean everything closes during the holidays. I spent the day ensuring my 10.9 hemoglobins were finally a 12.7 I signed my life away because everything is in español. All conversations and receipts and consent docs all in Spanish. I'm going to start my daily video journal in a few minutes. Wish me luck on my body maintenance!

How are you? Was the surgery a success? How is you recovery going?

Omg omg omg Usually you are in surgery for 5hrs i was in surgery for 8 hrs it was so much fat. Usually you are released after two hrs or how ever long anesthesia takes to wear off... i was held over night (an extra 180$ or so). I got lipo full body by Dr. JohnGarcia-Serna and he went all out with the breast lift... i felt excruciating MACK truck pain and could not move my legs or arms. When I was released Post op day 1... i went straight to post op massage. I am heading there this morning on post op day 2. I will take pictures once I am mobile. But right now i am barely holding my phone.

Botched!! Emergency Revision required!!

Baddie in the black
After being lied to about my beautiful breast lift by all medical staff, recovery house staff, and massage staff!! I was told NOT to take off my bandages to see the damage! See pics. The staff just kept taking pictures and talking in Spanish while telling me that everything was healing fine.
The Jplasma probe ripped a hole through my back and burned the surrounding surface, see pics. Left a huge ugly gash in my back which they lied and told me it was a bed legion from laying on my back too long.
I was completely numb so i couldn’t feel the damage in my breasts or back. I was also blocked from seeing the damage because all mirrors are chest up or none at all. Dr. Garcia prescribes all of his businesses mandatory and charges 4x the local price to anyone from out of country.
I had an issue with the recovery house staff begging for money. I was also called crazy when I was poisoned for refusing to pay the nurse. I was vomiting up the food for days. There were roaches ad microscopic mites all over the dining table. I was never refunded my remaining balance as promised.
Once I got home, after cutting my trip short due to no availability for appointment with the doctor before my flight, I checked in to the ER in DC and they immediately called in the surgeon who scheduled me for an emergency op to fix the detached nipple and concaved breast lift. The breast was round at the top for cleavage and flat underneath to a point like a triangle and the nipple is so bad I hope my new doctor can fix it to resemble a breast.

Wow, I'm so sorry for you!!! That's horrible!
January 22, 2020
Did the doctor show you before results of breast lifts? Never seen one of him. Perhaps he does not have a lot of experience and just specializes in liposculpture.... But, yes, his prices for non locals are really high.
January 22, 2020
Really hope for you, that the other surgeon can fix this awful scars and is able to avoid a severe infection.
January 23, 2020
I am so sorry you had to go through such a horrific experience. This surgeon should not be active. It is clear he is negligent. I pray you have a safe recovery with the emergency surgery. Good luck!

Let us know, how you are doing....!?

Post Op Depression

Baddie in the black
When I left Columbia, I ended up popping my sutures by lifting a months worth of luggage and it prolonged the recovery time. I went to the VA Medical hospital to get stitched up and the same day they said my breasts were too large for my body, they said I had an infection without running any blood tests or cultures. Before getting any positive result for an infection I was slatted for immediate OR prep. I was so hurt guys OMG... I was losing my breasts after having so much of my own breast tissue removed and I was going to be flat chested for the first time in my life. I ran! I got a second opinion from a Doctor in NW DC Dr. P was her name. I’ll find her name. She ran a swab lab of my breast and the same night 3 blue stitch and some discharge came out of the hole i needed stitched. US doctors WILL NOT work on out of country procedures, but she did remove my healed stitches for Valentine’s Day. I just knew after that I was ok... I immediately started to heal. Like in a week I was closed up. I apologize for over reacting on Dr. Garcia... i love my body. And the scar on my back is kinda cool...

Im glad you were able to find the real cause of your post op issue. Dr Garcia is a great doctor and very professional. If his staff is not getting you the answers you need - he should be made aware. He is very strict with this staff. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

I am glad, thar you are ok. But this burn scar on your back still looks really bad, deep and big....Does it still hurt?
March 10, 2020
Did the doctor show you post op pics of your breast lift? He always shows post op pics on his website..
June 18, 2020
Girl.... I don't think you overreacted. I've been researching cosmetic surgery for years and have only seen few issues like you had. That looks scary af
