Not happy
One of my stitches open I had to go the emergency room and they found an infection. I try to get in contact with Paola but off course no response. She appears online on whatsapp but she ignores my massages. I guess me having an infection is not important enough, especially because they won't be getting any money out of it.
But after all this trauma and negative experiences I found a plastic surgeon that is willing to get me back into health and get me to the results I want.
Ladies please think about it before flying to a foreign country for surgery. You need to keep in mind that as soon as they get the money they don't care about you and if u have any complications you can't sue nor get help. The U.S. Is more ex
Final review.
So I wanted to wait a couple of weeks to give an overall final review about my experience. I will try to give as much details as possible and I hope my review will help someone out there. I will as honest as possible since I feel surgeries shouldn't be taken lightly, and is very emotionally and physically draining. I will not post my pictures of before and after on this website since once you post something you cannot delete it and for security reasons I will not post them. Off course you are welcome to contact me with any questions or if you want to see the pictures I will share them with you. I will start from the beginning Casa arama, both Ronald and his wife Tatiana are absolutely amazing they will go above and beyond to make your stay with them as pleasant as possible, the food is delicious, the staff is very professional and caring. The rooms get cleaned everyday and they do laundry for you as well. The nurses and staff will keep an eye on every girl to make sure they are eating and they don't seem depressed, apparently this is a huge thing after surgery since you can't do things on your own and you're stuck in a room. For me it was very difficult since I traveled on my own and no one was supportive of my decision, the third day after surgery I became depressed since I felt lonely and I was in so much pain one of the nurses was always smiling and trying to accommodate me the best way she could and all those little things they did made my experience so much better. Now from the doctors side I wish I could speak highly of my experience but I am afraid my experience was not that great. Like I said previously I had an UTI and had to get my surgery reschedule which I do like the fact that the doctor did not rushed anything and wanted me to be safe. The day of the surgery it was in a clinic and I had my surgery around 4 pm, the doctor had a surgery in the morning, and one before he did my procedure. In my opinion I was nervous since he looked exhausted and I was next. One thing I notice about him was that he completely forgot about my butt implants I had to remind him, thank god I told him otherwise I would've flipped out if he would've done the job as we agreed. He's a very quiet man, he didn't inform me of much of the procedure and to be honest I felt like every time I asked something he seemed annoyed at me, maybe it had something to do with being tired but this shouldn't be an excuse at all since I am paying and this procedure is not being done for free. Anyways, I woke up from the surgery I was alive and nothing major happen thanks GOD ! But .... Three days after the surgery I felt a lot of itching in my nose I complain to the nurse at the house, the doctors nurse, the other doctor that works with dr Villalobos and off course I complain about the itching to the doctor. The dr kept dismissing me saying it was normal without even looking at my nose !!! Once he finally decided to take a look at my nose the stitches had fallen off !! I asked to see my nose and his response was no because I was going to get scare of it. I know red flag ! It's not what you want to hear after surgery. Since the stitches came off I had to be taken the next day to the clinic put under anesthesia and get more stitches and lip fillers. Now I had to leave Colombia with stitches on my nose and to make matters worst find someone that will take them off. I ended up in the emergency room and today I finally saw my nose and it looks worst then before, I knew I had a scar on my nose and there was a chance for my nose not be perfect but I am very disappointed of the treatment I received from the doctor he dismissed my concerns, he did not explain what he did to my nose, he barely talk to me and now I feel worst then when I started. My lips look the same as before, they called me and wanted to charge me twice and when I told him that I didn't see a difference he told me that I had to pay $200 more. As far as butt I got an implant and fat but I feel like it's not that noticeable idk if he even did the fat since he forgets everything and rushes to get to the next patient. My ears I feel like someone took a bite off one of my ears and they look different. My stomach it's ok and it's basically because I got a smaller garment and that is being shaping my body better. The garment I got from them was a medium and I felt fatter and worst then before. The massages are a real torture I wanted to cry with each massage, and I had to get drained with a needle multiple times since my opening were healing and no fluid was coming out. The pain killers suck !!! I got more out of two Tylenols, other girls got muscle relaxers and other medications while I had the shitty kind. Dr Villalobos wife is amazing she is great at answering questions and organizing everything, but when it comes to the doctor itself he lacks communication and organization. My final opinion is don't go abroad!!! Yea it might be cheaper but after care is not the same. To be honest if I would met with the doctor before the surgery I would've kept looking for someone else. He will not explain things throughly nor did I feel he care about me. Ladies please stay with someone near you and someone that will not rush you into things ! Life is more precious than anything and it's not worth it.
Surgery update
After all the wait and all the nervousness, I had my surgery yesterday. The surgery was at clinica fiore, it's a very nice clinic it feels like a hospital there's a lot of nurses and they are very sweet and helpful. I woke up during surgery, to be honest I don't remember anything but I was giving the doctor a hard time because I was moving a lot. I woke up when the doctor was finishing with me, he was doing my ears but it was not painful at all. After the surgery was done they took me to the recovery are where I stayed there for an hour. I couldn't move my legs and I was extremely nervous because I thought something went wrong but the nurse told me to move me feet little by little since this was normal. At first I could not move the right leg at all. It felt like jello and I thought I was going to fall but the nurses help me get on the wheel chair and wheeled me to the bathroom, before takin me there they put the faja on which let me tell you it was extremely painful, I couldn't feel my body but I felt that. Apparently all that is normal and the next day when they take off the faja to clean up the wounds it's also normal to feel dizzy, or throw up. I'm just glad I finally got my surgery and I'm closer to feeling better and going home
