How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

After many tears and full blown depression I...
After many tears and full blown depression I finally took the courage to move forward. I researched the heck out of the internet and I finally found the doctor whom I believe is the best for me. The only set back is this doctor happens to be in another country. Not that I'm against doctors from other countries but the fact that I have to leave my family behind for one month.
So I will be traveling with my husband for support more than anything and when he leaves I will be staying in a RH. I did go to Dr. Gallerani for a consultation but I couldn't stomach the fact that he has to do 2 incisions, one on top and a 2nd surgery on the bottom, this was too invasive for me. I had heard of a doctor in Cali that uses a special technique that he invented in order not to cut the buttocks open. Don't get me wrong not everyone is candidate for this procedure. I just heard that there was one patient that he had no choice but to do an incision because it had traveled all the way up her back. In case you are wondering he does not use any type of lasers either. I think at this point anyone that has done their research know this would be detrimental for this type of procedure.
I purchased my tickets and I am ready to a healthier me. I know this procedure is not easy in any way, shape or form but I am ready and faithful to face my challenges.
My story starts in 2008 when I was lied to by a doctor's assistant of having Hyronic Acid injected. A few years later I started seeing women on TV injecting all kinds of stuff and I couldn't believe why would anyone do this to their body. Ignorance is not bliss. Little did I know I was suffering the same fate. Although I don't have symptoms as of yet I just want to take this silent killer out of me to make sure that my kids have their mother for a long time and not having to worry about my health in the future.
It saddens me to this day women are still injecting themselves knowing this substance is toxic because now everything is out in the open. It's in the news, media and internet. Don't do it ladies, you are killing yourself softly. Prayers to all those women that are in the same boat as I and those that had the courage to take the plunge of removing this toxic waste.
Ladies I will be taking pictures of the RH and gathering as much information as possible in case anyone is interested.

Time is getting closer
I can't believe this month is almost over. I've already started to pack my bag, want to make sure I don't leave anything behind. I think it hasn't struck me yet that soon it will be me on the operating table. It sounds a little crazy but I'm actually excited about going to surgery and taking this out. Maybe the excitement is for a new beginning and a time to heal and reflect.
For the first time in 7 years I woke up and felt some pain on the top right cheek. Nothing unbearable but definitely uncomfortable. It feels like a knot in there definitely inflammation. I can't get to Cali fast enough. For all those ladies that have biopolymers but no symptoms please get it removed. Sooner or later we will all have problems.

I just arrived at Cali Colombia.
Hello RealSelf family, everything went according to plan. No hiccups on the way. We were picked up by the hotel's taxi driver which was very pleasant and had a nice SUV. Since we got to the airport at 8 PM we had no time to exchange money. He took us to an ATM at Intercontinental bank and my husband took out $200,000 pesos which sounds like a lot of money but in actuality was $62.
Tomorrow I am exploring the city and finding a location to stay for my recovery. I will take pictures and post them as soon as I can. My doctor's appointment is on Monday at 9 AM and my surgery is set for Tuesday. I will keep updating everyone as I go along. Say a little prayer for me.
