WORTH IT
After pregnancy I was left with very week muscles that did not go back to original position even after exercise. I also had loads of extra skin and an umbilical hernia. The only way for me was surgery. I wanted to have my old body back!
I was referred to a specialist in the uk and was told that due to the amount of extra skin, he recommended I had a vertical scar as well as the normal horizontal scar in order to improve my appearance with "clothes on" this of course was unsatisfactory to me as I wanted to look good both with and without clothes covering my belly area. So I went for a second opinion with Dr Villalobos as I had already had had surgery with him 6 years ago. He confirmed that he could give me the appearance I wanted just with a horizontal scar, so I decide to travel to Colombia and get it done here. We also agreed on removing some fat from my back and using this on my bum. My waist is so small I can't believe it. I'm so happy I did it with dr V. Totally worth the travel and pain. I'm in my 4th day post surgery and feeling great. Need to work out how to leave day-by-day reviews, so I can give more details. I know how it feels when you're exploring cosmetic surgery!

I've gone crazy researching! I think he's the one. I really want boobs done but I want to make sure they are natural looking. And also- where are you staying for post op? Casa de arama? I want to make sure it is clean and amazing

Hello. I stayed at Casa Arama and it was very good, I really liked the food. The nurses were very helpful and Sandra, the lady who does the massages was such a good laugh. I've also heard good things about Alba's post op recuperation house.

Im Going crazy as well! I will be in Cali in August and I'm freaking out! I'm going to Dr. Villalobos, I was debating on which doc but I've made up my mind...TT, Lipo, and adding some to where needed. It's so scary! I'm staying at Alba's RH. Btw, $4500 for my procedures! I really want boobs but that's just too much pain for now... Help me feel better because I'm truly scared.

Apologies to all of you who've asked me to post pics. Here they are. It's now been 3 weeks and a bit and I am feeling good. I ended up getting quite swollen at the lower abdomen, but I've been reassured this is normal and I have read a lot and it seems to be a waiting game now for it to come down. Which I am OK with. I am just very happy to have lost my weird belly button and all that extra skin and muscles I could not suck in even if I tried!
The post-op pics are from over a week ago, will post more recent ones when I get a chance, to show some of the progress with reducing swelling, as I am less swollen now.
