Butt Implant Removal

Hi all.
If you have followed my journey, you know it started back in 2018 November 14th. Now that I’ve had time to heal and get my thoughts together , this is where I’m at.
I’ve had a total of 5 surgeries , 4 of which were to try and savage my butt implants after infections. The fifth surgery was for removal. I was in a constant state of illness, I could hardly sit for a total of 5 months. I ended up flying back to colombia for the third time in five months to have the final surgery for removal. I spent well over a month in the hospital for my surgeries, alone. I spent over 3 months healing in Colombia, alone. I have not worked in over 5 months due to these complications.
I deeply regret getting butt implants done, but I don’t regret my perseverance with the surgeries. I saw it to the end and I feel confident about my decision in doing so. Unfortunately after 5 surgeries, the scarring is quite severe. Hopefully laser can help with that later on down the road.
Juan still is an amazing doctor. He and his staff are not to be blamed for my unfortunate outcome. Butt implants can be absoutely beautiful for some people and turn out amazing. I was not one of those lucky people. The pain I endured for the last five months was not worth it. The mental drain was not worth it. And I spent well over $20,000 to have a worse off butt than what I started with.
My advice to other women is, be prepared for the worst. This is a very high complication surgery, and be aware of that when you go for it. In my eyes was it worth it ? No. I would advise against it. Would I recommend Juan Diego Mejia ? In a heart beat. Come with a positive attitude, money in your wallet, and a good immune system and you might just get lucky with a successful surgery ( I had all of these but again, it still didn’t work out for me).If you can get a BBL instead - I would suggest doing that.
I will be attaching photos from start to >infections> to now where my butt is so you can see my journey. The final photo is how my butt looks now and it seems to be healing quite well. Once the butt implants were removed a month ago the butt was extremely flat and thus I did not take any photos of it because it made me sick to look at. But the muscle is healing. It’s juat the scars I have to deal with now. On the plus side, my breasts look fantastic at 1050 CC and I’m happy with those.
Thanks for reading. Any rude comments as per usual - go **** yourself.

Oh no, I’m so sorry you had to go through this. You’re so strong and stunning! I wanna have butt implants and rhinoplasty done with this doctor, but I’m really scared of infection. Having a a nice round booty is my dream tho :(. How soon after surgery did you start developing problems?

I had to have an emergency surgery to save my life 6 days after the first surgery. Then I had a third surgery to save my life three days after that. Then I remained in a hospital for many weeks. Then I had a surgery 7 weeks later. And then I had a surgery 5 weeks later to remove them.

Your booty looks very good without the implants. I bet you feel renewed somehow. Sometimes I wanna take mine out due to how weird they look ... do you feel like he did a good liposuction job?

I can understand that. If anything I think it gives hope that it can look ok once they are taken out. In regards to lipo, he did an okay job but not what I was looking for in terms of ab etching

I am also getting my implants removed May 7th 2019 and getting a lower body lift to correct. I feel your pain. I was thinking of switching the implants out but I just don’t want implants at all.

Hi girl, hope you are feeling better. You had such a hard journey o give you so much credit for being so strong mentally and phisically. I originally wanted to get my implants done with Dr.Mejia, but I got cold feet. I know you say he’s a great doctor and I’m sure he is, but I saw way too many girls with complications after their surgery. I ended up getting mine here in the states in Chicago. So far I’m extremely happy. Hope you heal fast and well, take care.

There’s just a lot of complications in general with butt implants unfortunately
