Not worth it
So I updated after 4 days of the surgery because everything was looking fine
The results r nice but not what i want it !
Im two months after the surgery all the swallowing go down
I paid for Tummy tuck +high definition + muscle reaper, lipo from arms , nack ,checks , inside outside hips, back + BBl breast lift with silicon
I came to colombia the day after maria took me to the Laboratory tests (I've paid on each one of the drive) and than to the clinica to pay all the amount (no i still didn't meet dr hugo)
The first time I meet dr hugo was one hour before the surgery when he mark me and that told me that he cant do the high definition ( i was so tense that I couldn't think even to argue on the price , I asked from him to do the tummy tuck scar as low as he can ( my scar so not even and high) Ge want to put me 190cc in my breast and i told him no!!!!! I want not less that 350cc
!!! And that i want my breast to be round i also Told him that i have a fat problem on my uper belly that he have to lipo there a lot and he keep telling me Oh you r not symmetrical ( i know that because of that i want to do the surgery! )
When I woke up they told me that my surgery was 9 hours and not 5 hours and he work on me really hard ( i was not big !!!!!) That i lost to much blood And that he didnt make it to lipo my hips And put just 250cc in my breast and my belly was to Elastic
I was to wick to even start to argue
And i call maria to tell her that i need to stay at the hospital because my hemoglobin go down to 7 From 13 She told me that it will cost me 200$ per a night and i told her "I paid for insurance! Take it off from there"
She said okay
I also took a nurse 24/7 for 5 days So the nurse was with me in the hospital and the 3 day dr hugo call him to help him in his clinica . I was alone for 6 hours and i didnt got my money back
Later dr hugo arrived to my room a check on me he was worry because i lost a lot of blood ad he give me Blood transfusion Pain killers .
When i get home to nj My stiches in my breast was opened And i went to another plastic surgeon to get an antibiotic i was trying to explain to maria the situation and that i paid for something and i didnt got it fully and her answer was " And the Doctor did his best! I am sorry, but he did!! He spent all day in the hospital with you All day! 9 hours
It wasn't even expected from him
You know what is the cost for a surgery room 9 hours ?
And we are not charging for that !
Because we wanted you too feel happy and satisfied with the results
Please be more comprensible"
I told her that he could separate the surgery to two but then she just didn't respond , ignore me ! So now i didnt got what i paid for
My breast still hilling ( a lot of stiches that Are supposed to Absorb (blue) not really absorbing i see that true my skin and he shape is like cone < I still left a lot of tad in my back and my belly
And my waist not even My bbl Look not good a lot of Cellulite So now i need to find another doctor that will fix it
But the only good thing in this journey was the therapist girl She was the best!

Absolutely correct. I wished so bad I had taken this post seriously. I ended up going with Hugo Aguilar to have a tummy tuck after seeing his awesome instagram posts. He is very unprofessional and unethical.
Anyway, when I got there and met him for the first time, he seemed bothered that I asked some basic questions, he doesn't offer any reassurance of anything and rushed out of room.
I initially wanted a full tummy tuck. By the way, I am a thin woman but after having a baby I had loose skin in my abdominal area. Somehow Dr. Hugo talked me into getting a mini tuck instead, saying the incision would be shorter (flat out lie!). I don't know how I agreed with it and ended up saying yes. My biggest regret ever!! I was not a good candidate for a mini tuck and somehow he convinced me otherwise. How dumb I was, when I had already paid for a full tummy tuck. Not that I was offered a discount or that I requested one either.
I think he was just trying to cut corners and do the easiest procedure.
I saw him two times a few days after the surgery, he hardly took a peek at my abdomen. When I mentioned the wrinkly skin, he just mentioned some other treatment I could get to thighten the skin. I would not have need some tightening treatment if he had done the full abdominoplasty! Combining the two appointments, he spent a whole 5 min with me. He was too busy attending to other women inquiring about his services.
Long story short, my abdomen looks horrible. I am embarrased to show it to anyone, even my family and friends. And the incision is from side to side, just like a full tummy tuck!! I thought me, being a slim person was going to have a nice flat abdomen. I have a bulge on the top part of my abdomen, the area of the belly button is all wrinkly and have loose skin. I can't even wear a two piece bathing suit. It looks horrible and I am SO embarrased and so self concious about it. I see some other friends who have had that surgery, some of them who had a lot more loose skin than me and were even overweight and they have an enviable tight flat abdomen.
t's been more that a year and it still makes me so mad that I went through that painful and long recovery, time and money spent and I can't even look up my abdomen in the mirror without feeling disappointed and angry at this doctor.
There are wonderful surgeons in Colombia. This is not one of them. Like the above posting said, don't believe the media postings. Ask for many full pictures of before and after, he will not send any. When I asked for before and after mini tuck pics of patients with him, all they sent me was a single picture of some model in a bikini with his logo at the bottom. Red flag right there, my fault, I ignored all the red flags I saw since the beginning

omg how are all your wounds open?? Crazy how he looks amazing on instagram but in real life is not a good surgeon...Thanks for sharing, how is everything now?
August 23, 2017
My wounds is fine now i went to a another doctor he gave me antibiotics i have scars everywhere , i want to go to another surgeren to fix everything but i need to save all the money from the start
He is good with skinny girls that dont need so many fixing
The breast is the wort with him A lot of blue stiches that supposed to be absorbed but not and u see it true the skin
August 22, 2017
Omg .. is he going to correct that?
August 23, 2017
I'm sorry I'm nosy but, I want to get as much information from Dr Hugo, because I was contemplating getting my breast lift and implant done with him, also wanted to know his prices? If u can share that with us? I guess every foreign surgeon has a different way of working I have got surgery done in Mexico, and the doc there asked for Lab works from me prior to me arriving to Mexico, once I sent him my lab works he saw my iron count was low and requested me to up the numbers in my iron deficiency so I wouldn't bleed so much also explained that he couldn't proceed if that number didn't increase my question is did dr. Hugo request a physical test result before booking ? And also as far as payment did he allowed u To pay for 10% of the surgery to make an appointment and once you met with him and had your physical consultation done he requested for the remaining part? Or he just required all the money upfront?

he asked me before the lab work and everything was good I’d paid 500$ befor and when i got there before I met him i paid all

I sorry to hear you had such a terrible experience. How you doing these days. Too bad you are not in Canada, I'd give you the name of my doc.

Guys, you really have to be careful. This doctor is not a member of the SCCP (Sociedad Colombiana de Cirugía Plástica) Colombian Society of Plastic Surgery. He is maybe a doctor, but not a plastic surgeon or at least a certified one. This is scary and so sad, not only because of the money you waste, but you are putting your life in danger and your self-esteem. Please be careful, everything in IG looks amazing, social media is for that: marketing! There are amazing surgeons in Colombian and yes, it is way cheaper than in the States, but there are also fewer regulations and a bunch of fake clinics and doctors. Make sure your surgeon is a member of the SCCP.
