4 years post op, and I’m still in pain and in need of more surgery. : (

I wasn't going to start a new review, but I want to be honest and hopefully help another person suffering from biopolymers. I was 19 when I was lied to by a nurse who injected me with what he said was high grade hydrogel to enhance my butt. I had only 2 sessions with him in a medical setting and it has cost me sooo much grief, depression and physical pain. I thought all of my troubles were coming to end when I found Dr. Andres Díaz Paz, I did my research and went with him because I felt he was very knowledgeable in the removal process as he advised me that does these kinds of surgeries all the time, which he indeed does. Now I had my removal surgery January 27, 2017, he removed quite a of bit tissue from me during this surgery due to the biopolymers compacting in one area. After removal, I was ok, very small, but still in good spirits. I had no issues during my open surgery for removal with Paz and was sent home after 21 days in Cali back to Miami to get better and come back in 6 months for my reconstruction. Fast forward 7 months after my removal (August/2018) I return to Cali for my reconstruction with Dr. Andres Díaz Paz. I was very optimistic about my reconstruction. My reconstruction consisted of me getting a butt implant placed intramuscular and fat transfer around it, due to me not having enough fat for just a fat transfer. I also wanted to do breast augmentation which Dr. Díaz advised he could do in the same surgery. So it was agreed upon and we proceeded to move forward with surgery on my surgery day. My reconstructive surgery went well, no complications when I woke up from surgery and my buttock was back to its normal shape. I had the butterfly style incision that was very thin and I was happy at that point. I got massages and did everything I was suppose to post op and was eventually discharged by Dr. Díaz to fly back home to Florida. I spent 2 weeks and a half in Cali after my reconstruction, and flew back home. After being home for about a week, I came down with a fever of .104, and my incision on my right side was leaking a fluid. I went to ER immediately and was told that I had an infection. The right side had so much tissue taken out it basically started to sink in. They had to open the right side of my buttock up and clean out the infection. When it was all said and done I was let with a 6"inch long -3" inch wide hole on the rig side of my buttock. I spent over a year packing and nursing that tissue back to life. After a year of packing the tissue has grown back substantially, but I am still left with a very noticeable indentation in that area of my butt. After that infection, I went back to Dr. Díaz Paz to repair the damage from the infection, the large hole. I only had a fat transfer done. But for some reason he was unable to get the fat to that area to stay in that area. He said it kept moving, so he was unable to fix the indentation on my right side. I went home, still with one side of my buttock sort of sunken in. I have been not had any surgery or been back to Paz since the last reconstruction. Now almost 4 years since my last reconstruction, I am experiencing a lot of discomfort to my thighs and hip area , which I believe is a small amount of biopolymers Dr. Díaz was unable to remove during my first removal. I also feel a lot of pain to my buttock due to scar tissue underneath the skin. I saw my PCP today who ordered about 4 different MRI scans and I will be sending those MRI cd's to Dr. Kenneth Hughes. I will be paying for a consultation with him to see how he can rid me of the remaining biopolymers in my thighs and hip, and also to do something about the pain from the scar tissue. I would like to get back to some type of normalcy. I won't be going back Colombia for anymore surgery. I have had 4 surgeries and still not really happy with my end/final results. Dr. Díaz Paz is a wonderful doctor with great best side manners, but I don't think he can help me any further. I need a reconstructive surgeon who is detailed and precise. I will be recording my journey for anyone who wants to follow. I know there are many out there suffering and I feel your pain. Pray and keep your faith that you will get you health back. The constant itching, burning, hard lumps and health problems will all be a memory. I am still very optimistic. I'm
Glad I have a new PCP who is doing test, ordering labs and assisting me to finding the best surgeon to help me with this ONCE AND FOR ALL.

Decided that after one full year I am going to have one more bbl done with Dr. Paz

For my own personal reasons, I am going to have one last bbl done with Dr. Paz. Despite me saying this I am going to wait and see how much tissue grows back after a years time to the upper portion. I would like my shelf back. My booty is very fluffy and I love it ???? but I miss my shelf. So I did speak with Paz Ana he said one full year and we are good to go !!

I love Dr. Andres Diaz Paz! For removal he is the BEST!

Seeing all the horror pics of women who have gotten removal done, I am so happy I went to Dr. Andres Diaz Paz. He was able to remove it all and still keep my scar to a minimal
