I wondered why most people would start to document their journey's and all of a sudden after surgery just suddenly stop, but know I understand. This process is truly trying. Your body is going through so many changes and to post pictures so early on would not be an accurate depiction of what your body will look like. Swelling is inevitable, and if you're a first timer your also experiencing these things as they come kinda hard to give a review to early on.
Post op care first couple of weeks was so painful, getting rid of fluid build up is no joke, even though at the end you feel relief it is super painful. overall I'm happy with my results, I am experiencing some loose skin, nothing obvious but i can tell when i make certain movements, but again im still early in the healing process. I still wear my faja faithfully and in the beginning you will hate wearing it and you will eventually love to, your body feels so good with it on. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask, I kinda just wanted to just show you photos of how I look and if anyone had any questions id be happy to answer.

How was his bedside manner? Did he give you what you wanted? How was he as a doctor?
Honestly he didnt check on me at all, but if i needed him he was available, any questions i had during recovery his response was prompt. I wanted more butt, but i think different things come into play with fat transfer but im satisfied no complaints
You look great! How was using the boo pillow! I'm having surgery in 16 days and trying to get the last minute items! Also, when did you start using the lipo boards? Do you still use them?
That pillow will be your best friend, I stopped using my boards a month ago
Really? It's that good?!?! That's great to know bc I work in an office and I did purchase the standing desk but will still need to sit at some point. I'll check they site out
Just glad you ok boo. You look good
Are you happy with your results?
You look amazing! I wanted to know if you liked your chin and buccal fat removal results? You said you got chin lipo and buccal fat removal, did he do a good job? I’m considering this is as well but he has no pictures of these procedures. Would you be able to share some pictures privately VIA DM or email for that?
I loved my results, its really subtle which is why i didnt post photos because i dont have a before picture, i do recommend getting post op treatments for the neck lipo just to keep the skin tight
Okay great thank you :)

Recovery House

Dr. Garcia works with Medtour recovery house located mins away from his clinics here in medellin.
The owners are very kind and attentive and also speak English if needed. i’ve been here since Mon 4/8-4/22. They have different room options depending on what you prefer and your budget. I purchased the premium room package for $99 a night. That includes them picking you up from the airport and taking back when you leave, assisting you at all your appointments, the recovery house has a nurse available 24/7, they feed you 3 meals a day and your post op massages are also available here. My room has a queen size bed, private bathroom, PORTABLE ac, and a fan. During the month of April it is winter here the weather feels like spring weather so the portable ac and fan makes the room pretty chilly. They have a huge common area and the place itself is pretty big. They have a gate to enter its very safe.

Hi girl!!! How are you feeling? Please keep updating as I am waiting to send my payment for deposit!
The doctor is great, i just cant take photos because i still need to gather some strength i been in very lil pain but just weak from anesthesia and its effects
I’m glad you made it through surgery and are feeling somewhat better. Speaking of anesthesia, what is that process like? You take pills? Face mask?
It was administered intravenously
Oh okay. Thank you for sharing! How is your body feeling?
Did you go by yourself or have someone there? I’m worried I won’t feel safe by myself even at a recovery house
Partially, i arrived by myself my boyfriend came 3 days later, he stayed with me for 5 days and i left by myself
The recovery house i styed In was super safe its called medtour
Great that’s where I’m considering staying but I haven’t seen many in depth reviews of Medtours so I’m just nervous
I feel the same way about MEDTours & they haven't been as responsive to me. Did you stay with them?
I stayed with them i have no complaints
i went by myself initially, then my boyfriend came a day before surgery and left two days before me, so i also left by myself, they pick you up from the air port, and you literally don't really leave the house, i went out by myself twice close by to the market to get some drinks or snacks and i felt safe. I just didn't go out on my own at night.
