Hey y'all.....I have been on this journey for quite some time and now I am finally ready. I picked up a second job just to pay for the expenses; I haven't got much sleep because I have been doing extensive research on a surgeon and recovery home in Cali, Colombia. My first selection was Dr. Marcos Petro; he was going to charge me $7000 total for the surgery but they don't have any recovery homes in the area, so I started my search all over and stumbled across Dr. Harold Villalobos. Everything about him screams professionalism and great results. I will be sending him my photos for my assessment later on this evening......I'm excited and nervous and I haven't even received my quote yet.

How did you get in touch with Dr Marcos Petro? So if there is no recovery homes the we are forced to stay in a hotel ? How does that work?
November 22, 2016
I contacted him on Whats App; his staff reached out to me the next day requesting photos and they provided me a quote and payment instructions shortly after.

Honestly, I refuse to stay in a hotel and that's why I am researching recovery homes that are in the area. I do know Dr. Hugo offers his clients the opportunity to rent an apartment for $600 for 2 weeks; if you're traveling by yourself, he also has a nurse that will tend to you for 12 hours and it's $30. I hope this helps; if you have any post-op information, that would greatly help.

Hello everyone, I'm back from Colombia, Baranquilla. I had my work done with DR Marcos Petro. My surgery was a success, I must say his not the cheapest but definitely worth it.
February 8, 2017
I am so excited for you and yes, he is a bit pricey but I believe he's worth it. I had to push my date back due to some unfortunate circumstances.
April 6, 2017
Hello I'm trying get in contact with him but every number I try I cant seem to get ahold of him, does anyone have the number
December 29, 2016
Hey my love what are gettind done ? He quote me for 12000 dollars for tummy tuck lipo and breast I was in shock because I have never heard of that price in Colombia. I have sisters and friends who have gotten surgery in Colombia and is way less. Am just curious if you don't mind my love
February 8, 2017
Did he quote you just on a tummy tuck ? I'm sure he will do more than that. I've seen his tummy tucks a they look great worth the 12k
February 8, 2017
I know I have family and friends who have done their surgery their and no doctors charges like him not even Dr lobo and you know something since I had send my info to the 2 whatsap number someone else quote me 8000. So they just make up their own price to people out of country
February 8, 2017
Hi Elsi I love his work he does great job but not even the best doctor in Cali Colombia charges that much. Or even in Cúcuta where Dr lobo is located Never in the History of Colambia Doctors charges that price. He give 2 different quotes from 2 different whatsap number and from their I juste deleted him from my profile and going to stay with the best doctor in Cali who has more experience than then him Dr Recio, and he has done my family and lots friends for the past years. Just letting you know that they are over charging and making their own price. Because first quote was 12000 then second quote was 8000. His assistants just make up their price

I changed my mind and I'm going with Dr. Marcos Petro.....I love all of his work; the staff is bilingual, polite and they respond fast. The only downside is, there aren't any recovery homes there so I am looking for a hotel I can recover in; as well as, a nurse that will help with my care.....I'm praying that I can get a friend to go with me. If anyone wants to offer post op suggestions, please do.

How did it go? I am also looking at Dr. Petro
November 22, 2016
I haven't had any work done yet; I am looking for recovery homes near Dr. Petro. If I can't find any then my second doctor option will be Dr. Hugo Aguilar Villa.
December 5, 2016
I think dr Petro recently added a recovery house of his own. He's just extremely hard to get in touch with, I also don't mind that he's not board certified as his results speak for themselves. Let me know how it goes. I've been trying for a month to reach him
December 5, 2016
I was able to reach him through whats app and I spoke to his receptionists; they are bilingual.
December 5, 2016
Yikes, I shouldn't have written that without confirming myself, that was reckless, I was only told that by a columbian consulting agency, but they favor doctors so there could be something to be said about that. I have not confirmed it myself, I'm sorry.
December 5, 2016
Yea, I wouldn't tell ppl that unless you know for yourself. I have seen some doctors that are favored by many consulting agencies and their work isn't that spectacular.....I've noticed that many women have had to go to another doctor like Petro or Aguilar to have their first round reconstructed. Based on my research, he's certified....that's why I was asking where did you get the information. Do not rely on consulting agencies to do your research for you; do your own research and pay attention to the doctor's results; I haven't been disappointed with either doctors results.
December 5, 2016
Agreed! That's why I chose to follow through with Dr. Petro based in results I wanted and disregarded the agency. I would delete that comment but it's an honest discussion and that's what realself is based on. I will continue to follow your journey as I will hopefully become a patient of his as well. In having rhinoplasty done in Manila then hopefully body in Columbia.
December 5, 2016
No don't delete the comment and you're right; this is an open forum where we should feel comfortable to discuss questions, concerns, hear say and even doubts. Thank you for following my journey and I will be honest with everyone because this is a life changing event and I would expect the same.
December 5, 2016
You're welcome and thank you for commenting....I really appreciate it, keep them coming ladies.
November 21, 2016
When are you going ? I'm planning to go December.
November 22, 2016
I am going in March; I am currently awaiting my test results from my PCP and am researching recovery homes in that area and/or hotels. Did you find a recovery home?
November 30, 2016
I am looking at both doctors Hugo Aguilar Villa and Dr. Marcos Petro. Dr. Petro just poated that he will now offer recovery apartments amd soon will have a recovery home....
November 30, 2016
Yes, I saw that yesterday as well and I was thinking that I should wait until he get his recovery apartments up and going before I schedule my day so I can make sure that I have the best post-op care because that's what matters when it comes to your healing.
November 30, 2016
I agree your post op care is extremely important. I plan on going sometime in February and although I haven't made my final decision I am in love with Dr. Aguilar's rhinoplasty work and is lipo/bbl work... keep in touch
November 30, 2016
I plan on going in February too; I love Dr. Aguilar lipo/bbl but Dr. Petros tt/bbl/lipo and breast augmentation work is sensational too.....if I can't get in with Dr. Petros, I will definitely go with Dr. Aguilar. I will definitely keep in touch, thank you.
December 3, 2016
Ladies please keep me posted. I'm looking at Dr. Petro and need a buddy.
December 5, 2016
I definitely will; I am looking for a partner too. It feels good to know others are going to Dr. Petro too. His work is beautiful.....

Ok y'all....I've been doing some research and I decided to do a fat transfer to my breasts, hips, butt w/ a mini tuck....I'm not sure if I will stick with Dr. Hugo Aguilar or Dr. Petros cuz i don't know if they specialize in these areas. I reached out to both doctors to see if this option was available; if not, I will be back at square one......can someone refer a doctor that specializes in my surgical desires?
