Couldn’t be happier - did his best to give me exactly what I wanted

Couldn’t Be Happier

I am going to make this long, intentionally. I wanted more info before my surgery and couldn’t get it. I’ll do it for you girls though. Hopefully this helps someone.

I had a Brazilian Butt Lift and Lipo 360 on October 30, 2020. The location is in Miramar Florida, and I am from Colorado so I did not see the location or meet the staff until I was in Miramar the day before my surgery. I was under the impression that the location was one entire building, But Evolution MD covers multiple suites in a medical office park.The office was exactly what I expected it to be, clean and bright, filled with beautiful people. Dr. Cesar Velilla is very busy, and It was clear that he just wanted to get done with the consultation. However, although he was not overly warm, I did get the impression that he was very professional. He was honest with me about what to expect.Post surgery, I was disappointed at the way that I was treated. I felt like Dr. Velilla‘s support staff could have been a little bit more thorough and compassionate. Some of this was my fault because I had under prepared for how serious the liposuction would be. My main concern was the pain surrounding the fat injections. However, my butt did not hurt after the third day.It was the extremely aggressive liposuction that caused a problem for me. The problem wasn’t the surgery necessarily, it was that I had not done a significant amount of research about what the liposuction would feel like. I was in the most excruciating pain of my life, and I’m saying this after I carried and birthed six children.I chose Evolution MD because I didn’t want that chop shop feel that is common with the discount plastic surgery clinics in Miami. He is more expensive, but I wasn’t necessarily looking to save a bunch of money. I was concerned about my life, and my results. While the support staff was ghetto and disorganized to the degree of any other less expensive plastic surgeon, I did feel like Dr. Cesar Velilla did his best to give me exactly what I wanted.The surgery change my life. I don’t think that I could have gotten the results that I did from any other surgeon. When I woke up he wasn’t holding my hand. And in fact I never saw him again after my surgery. Even though I wish that I would have gotten a little bit more personalized treatment, I do not regret going to Evolution MD at all. After the boxy, hard phase passed, I could not stop looking at my new body. The swelling went down and the BBL fluffed, and I became a new woman.It has changed my confidence level, and I actually don’t get completely disgusted when I look at my body right now. The BBL is perfect! And the liposuction has made my waist so snatched that it almost draws as much attention as my butt. 3950 CCs of fat was removed. 1800 CCs was put into each cheek. The Lipo 360 went from my shoulder blades, all the way down to my waist, and from the front it went from just under my breast all the way to my fupa, which is now gone. I dropped 11 inches in my waist, and gained 13 inches in my hip/butt area.I HAVE NOT LOST ONE INCH SINCE 9 DAYS AFTER SURGERY. In the images you will see that I have serious stretch marks. I’m OK with that. As I stated I have six children so I have no expectation that my stretch marks are ever going to go away. But I have begun the process of working on my skin to make them less noticeable. I look at Youtubers online and see some of the horrible results that people are getting. I am so glad that I found Evolution MD.The only reason why there’s four stars instead of five is because of the support staff.I’ve had numerous bad experiences trying to get follow up appointments and it just seems like once you’ve paid the money and had your surgery they don’t care.

How much was this you look great
April 8, 2021
Thank you! It was 8500.00 but I financed part of it. There are two other Drs there that are less. Dr Velilla’s name is on the door, so that’s why I went with him. I think the other docs start at 6500.00

After your surgery did you go a recovery HOUSE or hotel

It was his speciality! This decision is huge... as you can see from all of the women on RealSelf complaining about their result or post op complications. I had to narrow it down: first with the results, then when I found a few that specialized in the look I wanted, then I had to find to best of them for the right price. So much work! Worth it though,

I rented an affordable Airbnb and brought my amazing sister. We both have a medical background so I felt safe. I stayed in Pompano Beach rather than Miami, because it was cheaper. And I went with an Airbnb so we could buy groceries and cook to save money.

HELLO. I READ YOUR STATEMENT AND IM THINKING OF GETTING ONE ALSO. SO IT REALLY HURTED.. DID THEY GIVE YOU PAIN MEDS AFTER YOU WOKE UP? HOW LONG WAS YOU IN TERRIBLE PAIN? DID YOU GO TO A RECOVERY HOUSE OR HOTEL? IF SO, WAS IT ALL INCLUDED WITH YOUR $8500.

They have minimal pain meds honestly. But my primary care gave me more when I got home. My terrible pain was for about 1 day... then I was in ‘serious’ pain for about 4 weeks. Every day after it got a bit better. Massages were great, drinking water etc. I rented an Airbnb for 5 days and it cost me less that recovery house. I brought my sister with me and she took care of me. 8500 was only what I paid to Evolution. Did not include massages, garments, hotel, meds, bbl pillow, supplies. I would say on top of the 8500 I spent about 1400.00 with everything else.
