Here I go with excitement and nerves about to get my BBL and boob revision in the Dominic Republic. Operation booked!!!!

My results seam good but I posted too early. After the swelling went down which took some 3 mths the horror started to appear.

As a qualified doctor they give a promise on oath to put the patient first and do there job to the best of there ability. I truly believe he or she should operate with the view this patient is a human being like that of there mum, sister, daughter. If they cannot do the best then don’t touch. The patient has to live with the mistakes, being deformed. The depression of feeling ugly, having to come to terms with their decision for the remainder of there life. The fear of not being good enough, having to excuse the deformities and explain it was cosmetic surgery. Bad doctor Bad decisions.

I will be forever reminded of my bad decisions!!!!!!!

I am writing this post regarding the corrective breast surgery and liposuction that I had with Mejia six months ago. I need to stop others from being lulled into a sense of belief that this doctor is the obvious and safe choice. I am completely appalled by the results from the surgical procedures I received due to an obvious lack of care by the person who carried them out and in complete and utter dismay with the total lack of aftercare.

I spent a lot of time making my choice of surgeon when considering undergoing liposuction, body sculpting and having corrective surgery to my breasts. I chose Mejia because he markets himself as a family man, who is thoughtful not only as a husband, a father but as a doctor who seemed to take a genuine caring approach towards his patients, not treating his operating room like a conveyor belt and making sure his clients were delivered results with customer satisfaction. It seems sadly that I was very much mistaken. Despite my extensive research I was left with disfigured breasts, irregular marks on my legs and uneven etching to my stomach.

In relation to my corrective breast surgery he spent no time on assessing how to correct the issues that I been left with from previously surgery and instead took a ‘one size fits all’ approach which has not only exacerbated the cosmetic look of my breasts but left me with severe physical pain when undertaking certain physical activities. This impacted my quality of life which in turn has had an affect on my quality of day to day life leaving me drained and mentally exhausted.

The disfigurement I have been left with has had the worse effect on me emotionally though. I can not bring myself to allow anyone else to see my breasts which has forced me alienate myself from relationships making me feel very isolated and lonely. I wanted to create something aesthetically pleasing with but instead have been left feeling ugly and ashamed of part of my body, from surgery that was supposed to make me feel feminine and attractive. My self confidence has been left in tatters.

When I sat before him in his consultation to discuss the breast operation I was quite explicit in the fact that if he could not correct the issues that I had, then I did not want you him to touch them. He assured me that he could make them better and that I would receive a pleasing result. All he did was take out my old implants and replace them with larger ones, worsening what I had already had.

Meija did not discuss with me what he was going to do in the surgery. I feel foolish now for trusting that I was in the capable hands of a person who was going to look after me and give me the body we had discussed. It seems nonsensical in hindsight that I didn’t ask questions because I trusted him. He brands himself as a man who cherishes his family and cares about enhancing people’s lives and making them better and I was sold on this idea. Surely such a caring man could not be so lapse when undertaking surgery on another human being’s body? I was so wrong.

I remember that he did not draw on me before my surgery which meant no discussion was opened before I went under the knife. It also meant I didn’t have an informed idea of what he planned to do. More worryingly it may mean that the reason my results were so poor and not symmetrical was because rather than use pre-measured markings the just went at it by eye.


This very brash approach has left me with:

1)Folded skin between my breasts, that was not there before.
2)Excessively large implants that caused me extreme pain and discomfort.
3)Incision scars that fork off from each other where rather than cut along an old incision scar he cut along side it. That’s right a cosmetic surgeon cut along side an incision scar. I mean why would he do that? What possessed him to leave me with an incision scar that forked off into two different directions. Why wouldn’t he want to keep scaring down to a minimum.
4)Uneven abdominal etching that was not symmetrical or evenly divined on each side
5)Lines to the inside of my leg where liposuction had been done either in a rushed manner or in an approach that lacked concentration or care.

I contacted Meija several times over the course of the six months that followed after my surgery to seek advice on what to do, and also because I wanted some reassurance that he would help me to get the corrections and the results that he promised me. I wanted someone to tell me that it was okay, that I wouldn’t be left the way I was. I wanted someone more than anything to give me some hope when I was at a point where I felt truly lost and very low. He never responded to me directly, it was always through his secretary who in my opinion treated me as an inconvenience and despite her having no medical training would repeatedly insist that my results would get better and that I needed to give it time. I am sure I was an inconvenience that they wished would just go away.

Also quite worrying is that I was told three different implant sizes when trying to ascertain what size had been used in my breasts. There is a total lack of care in regards to the paperwork as well it was seem as I was given information from someone else medical files on two separate occasions.

Eventually when his secretary got back to me with answer from Mejia six months later, he said that he would correct HIS mistakes but he would be charging me for the privilege of doing so. However by that point I had lost any confidence in him and there would be no way I would put myself back on his operating table. I was too scared to, afraid that he might worsen what he had already done to me.

I have found solace however in another doctor. A doctor who took the time to discuss in great lengths what he would be doing in surgery and drew on me beforehand and didn’t rush into it blind and butcher my body. A doctor who has corrected the mistakes that Mejia made. A doctor who has done his best to leave me with minimal scarring, taking away the forking scar that Mejia left me with.

Despite getting better results though finally, it still makes me angry when I stop to think. What if this happen to someone else? Another woman who perhaps would not have had the finances to turn to another doctor to correct the mistakes that he made. I was able to do so at the cost of my children’s inheritance. I had no choice but to use the money I had put aside for them, as living with what Mejia had left me with may have driven me to harm myself. I was utterly depressed and alienated from the world. It would potentially have cost me more than just money had I not taken action.

I do understand that there is always an element of risk involved when you go for cosmetic surgery but just to reiterate he was told not to touch my breasts if he could not correct the problems I had already had. Sadly I think his decision to operate on them was driven by financial gain not because he thought he could make the corrections I had asked for, or maybe he thought that by making them bigger (at excruciating pain to myself) that I would be happy. I don’t know and will never know because he is not available to talk to.

Even though the scars he left me with have been removed by another surgeon but I will always be scarred mentally by what he has done to me. I was so selective in my choice of surgeon. He really sells himself as someone who cares about you but the harsh reality is, he apparently couldn’t care less!

Not only has he disrespected me he has disrespected himself and family. As a qualified Doctor he has sworn on oath to always do what’s right for his patient. An undertaken he did not do to me or many others. It’s ok to say sorry I cannot do this surgery it’s no ok to take the money and run. I am totally disgusted I paid someone to do this to my body and I will live with his mistake everyday or the rest of my life. Haunted forever.


Thank you!!!!!!!! DR Mejia
