ORIGINAL POST

Mauricio De La Paz Botched & Burned Me

Creative405968
In Sept 2019 I was left with 3rd degree burns & botched results after undergoing plastic surgery by Mauricio De La Paz (Avila) - at Splendhere clinic - in Tijuana, Mexico - who misrepresented himself as a board certified plastic surgeon. Within 24hrs I developed a large & painful lump on my right leg & severe burns on my stomach & back due to an aggressive lipo, whereby he excessively lipo'd the same areas under my skin over & over again, which caused my skin to burn from inside out. I was fighting for my life & my skin was literally peeling off from 3rd degree burns. I was left with disfigured, discolored and bumpy stomach, as well as disfigured with uneven legs, BBL and contour. He mutilated my skin, ruined my body & literally botched every area that he lipo'd & transferred fat to (which also includes my inner thighs, pelvic area, arms). Also, the fat he injected into my buttocks & (what was supposed to be) hips was not injected properly as per MRIs, ultrasounds & surgeons I had seen thereafter in the US. I still suffer today physically and mentally & have pain in my legs, buttocks, stomach & suffer from skin problems due to the burns. He is NOT board certified and his clinic is not accredited. He also posted a visibly photoshopped picture of me on his IG & captioned it "amazing results" a all while I was fighting for my life with burns. I was told by surgeons and drs in the US that I am lucky to be alive & that De La Paz was very negligent & inexperienced. My story was published on several news outlets & I will continue to share my story publicly to raise awareness & warn others bc no woman deserves to go thru this or to suffer permanently - physically, mentally, emotionally and also financially. I later found out that De La Paz botched other women & their stories/photos are shared on a private IG page: @drdelapazbotchedus. People deserve to know the TRUTH - I didn't deserve this & neither do you! Please do your research! I will NEVER recommend him to ANYONE!

Bbl have left so many women botched do not do it ladies not worth it. The amount of botched bbl to good ones is so much more. My sisters both did it and I did. Mines okay but goes away after 2-3 years I'm back to where I started and both of my sisters have uneven results and it's very noticeable also uneven hips and bumpy stomach

Thank you or being so honest. I'd not know that your body can go back to how it was

Wow, several of my "IG" friends have gone to him and swear by him, yet I think they like him because he's one of the lowest priced and well known surgeons out in TJ. I'm very sorry he was so careless with you and I hope you have healed 100%. Are you doing better ? Did your wounds heal ? Was it the bacteria cellulitis?

How did you find out that he/the clinic were not certified?
