Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

2 weeks post
Results are slowly starting to come as swelling is going down, my back is still really sensitive and hard to get comfortable.My faja is driving me nuts but no choice to leave it on. Theres still lots of fluid left but coming down very slowly. I can tell Diaz did exacly as I had requested, still have several weeks of progress to come. I highly recommend him ,he needs more publicity on realself(and more photos), but his instagram shows he does nice work :)
Update(copied from my diary app)
Arriving in domincan Thursday evening, got picked up by a personal driver (included in my package ) he brought me straight to the hospital to get my tests done .
Route there was quite something, I thought MTL had bad drivers but this was ..well I almost couldn't look, people just switch into your lane even if your there, cars cone about an inch from each other and on top of it you have bikes swirving in and out of the cars , I would not go in a bike there even if I was paid to, I asked the driver via Google translate if there was lots of accidents here, he said yes..
Arriving at cecip, the hospital where my surgery would be. Looked somewhat modern compared to the rest of the buildings I had seen on the way, poor country yes I know that, but also have too surgeons .
I picked domincan. Mostly cause they had a recovery home included in the package ,(and nicest booties) and thank God I went this route , cause I am day 3 at the moment and literally cannot do much of anything myself, moving slightly is sore . It's not a sharp pain, just more like- I got run over by a car pain
Sore all over my back and stomach , which makes it extremely difficult to find a comfy position to lay, at the same time putting little pressure on my tush so I don't mess up the surgery ( fat transfer needs a month off no pressure ,otherwise fat cells will die off, equals huge waist of money)
So I stayed the night at the hospital , as my surgery was first thing Friday morning ,
Got my tests done , which felt like I was in the 1950's with those things to check your heart , old-school, but does the job
Don't get me wrong, despite all the good reviews I read , I was still self doubting myself if I made the right decision?, then Again that's pretty much the story of my life ... Indecisive enough to drive myself loonie toon
Next morning doctor comes and marks me up, was very clear I wasn't looking for a big butt, more just to shape what I had now as no matter how many lunges and glutes ect that I do per week I wasn't getting results I was striving for
Spent the night at hospital , which was rough cuz I was also getting a sore throat,like really bad and hard to swallow, had a hard time breathing ,therfore not able to sleep . I had a nurse stay with me, she didn't speak any English, but used my Google translate. Asking for water all the time(, and all night) I was likely annoying her
My recovery house (armonia) is absolutely amazing, the nurses and everyone is just great and so caring , highly recommend!!
Spent most days and nights (not much sleep) just laying there not able to do much
I'm really happy I chose this route(domincan instead of Miami) cuz I cannot imagine recovering on my own with no help , could not do anything really , standing makes me dizzy so I just lay there
Day 5 (Tues) been a rough day , I cried this morning with my massage , they get easier but not fast enough , was just so tired from being up all night( trying to find a comfortable position is almost impossible) I'm used to sleeping half on my sides /half on my back and that's exaclty how you can't sleep cause the fat is filled in mostly on the sides anyways I could not even move from my bed today as I had a migraine (that I've been getting every day now) had to buy some different meds (along with a bunch of other things:Bruise cream, laxatives, meds to help me pee, canestin, and meds for migraines, ugh!) The nurses were so helpful once I told them how bad my head hurt , she came back almost immediately with my meds, and also asked if I drank coffee everyday , I said yes , she rushed to kitchen to prepare me a coffee and explained it could be why I was getting migraines, sure enough , either the different meds or the coffee seemed to work , thank God, cause today was one of the worst . Plus my drain seems to be pinching and is very uncomfortable. Am on so many meds right now all for different things
Have an appt tmrw with Diaz in the morning, he will let me know what's up cause im still really weak to move around

One Week to Go!
So I have been doing research what seems like years(a few months) was going to go first to miami , but the fact recovery homes were very expensive, I reconsidered and was shooting for DR and picked mallol, I love his work, but was still undecided.
I think i read every single review, good and bad, and looked up every single profiles on those reviews. I was set on mallol with his tiny waists, but still worried i'd have a overly big butt( which is not my goal)
has traces of some infections which really worried me also.
In the end i was between mallol and diaz, after asking both assistants 1000';s of questions (poor girls,lol) I would always get a fast and prompt reply from diaz, from mallol assistant sometimes would wait up to a week for one question, impatient as I am, I wanted to book something for around february.
Diaz uses general anesthesia(was going to pay an extra 500usd to mallol for general) as well as includes lipo of the thighs, which i wanted all sides done (mallol had to pay extra 500 for thighs)
I figured I just had to stop being so undecided and PICK whoever I felt more at ease with.
Still on the fence, but I jumped over it and picked DIAZ.
I cannot find any infections or deaths on him, and his work no instagram is great as well!! Highly rated also!!(but...not as many ratings as mallol...)
I am one week out before my surgery, once again scanning every review on diaz that i can find, for comfort sake, I am pretty sure(but not toally sure) he will do a great job, and his assistant customer service and reply time- is on point.
I told only one of my girlfriends, so far, and she said'' how come he only has 2 bbl photos?!?'''' I replied unsurely, ''well, they're mostly on instagram...''
Her questioning that, got me worried... :-/
but, at the same time am still confident diaz will sculpt me nicely.
Will update again next week :)

Very happy I picked Diaz! Was very undecided which Dr I wanted , but was always fast with my questions and concerns so for me that was the deal breaker
