WORTH IT$6,400
I had removal of silicone this past Tuesday with Dr. Rios in Cali Colombia. He did a wonderful job and made sure to make all incisions where they can be covered with panties. I have one incision going across my lower back right above my butt and one on each side of hips where he had to cut out discolored skin and attach the good skin together. He took out 4 zip lock bags of hard rock material from me, weighing 17 pounds. I'm flat as a pancake but that's ok because my health is what's most important. I will be back for BBL in 5-7 months. Im also going to try the silicone strips and laser scar removal once I get back to the states to try to reduce the scar. I must say, as soon as I regained consciousness I felt different- refreshed is the best way to explain it, no more memory loss, back pain , tiredness etc. I really suggest you ladies to get this poison removed from your body, you're literally walking around with a ticking time bomb. One girl in the RH I'm at had it for 6 years with no complications, out of no where she said it caussd a really bad infection, she was in the hospital for 3 wks. She also went to Rios for removal. Another woman I met at his clinic had it for 12 yrs before complications began, she's scheduled to have her removal next week
I go to doctor appointments at his clinic daily for lymphatic massages, dressing changes and oxygen hyperbaric chamber treatments. I have one drain on the left side, it should be removed my the end of next week and just got my IV med pump removed today. I had no pain, just soreness, the IV pump is awesome!
If you're planning on coming to Cali I suggest you hire a translator to go with you to your appointments. I hired this guy name Diego, he charges $20 a week. He picks me up in a cab daily and we go to my appointments . He translates everything for me. Without him I don't know what I would do, he's amazing and so nice, if you all are interested inbox me and I'll give you his WA. He went with me to the hospital for MRI, psychiatric evaluation (Dr Rios requires it), Cardiology appointment and all my clinic visits
I will not be posting any pictures because I'm paranoid about them floating around IG in memes lol however I am happy with my results and would recommend Rios. He also gave me lipo to my waist on the house because he said when he took the granulation tissue from my hips it left me with a deformity, he lipo'd my waist so I could look normal- how nice was that lol
Good luck ladies with your removal, God bless!

Keeping your incision intact
GodGotMeAugust 6, 2016
Hello ladies, so far my wound is healing well and looking good. Some tips I would like to share are keep pressure and tension off your butt- please do not sit on your butt, the pressure can cause your sutures to open and the tension compromises the healing process of the wound. I literally lay on my stomach about 99% of the day. The cook at the RH I'm at brings my food to the room, I eat laying on my stomach in bed. When I go to my doctors appointments I lay on my stomach in the back seat during the ride. The only time I sit is going to the bathroom and laying on the table at the clinic for dressing changes and massages. Even then I use a wedge pillow to take pressure off my butt. I'm praying this continues to work out for me

When I was at the RH I used to come down to the dinning room and eat standing up, or on my knees when I was upstairs

Dr. Gallerani office visit
GodGotMeAugust 6, 2016
I visited Dr. G a couple days before coming to Cali, I wanted to see what he had to say. I paid $250 for consultation- which goes towards surgery if you decide to proceed. He's really nice and very competent when it comes to silicone removal. He quoted me $17,500. His personal fee was $13,500 (including the consult fee) and the remaining was the hospital fee. He doesn't accept Care Credit or any financing options. I called the hospital where he performs surgery and they accept payment plans for the hospital fee which was good news. You pay a down payment and monthly payments on the balance. I still decided to fly to Cali to see what Rios had to say. My heart told me to go with Rios and so far I have no regrets.

I am happy to hear that all went well for you. I am thinking of doing the same but am thinking of going to see Dr. Mir. I've read a lot of good things about him and his work in removing this substance. Are those two the only doctors you went for a consultation with?
August 10, 2016
Yes I hear Mir is awesome as well.. And yes Dr G and Rios are the only two.. I had a consultation with Dr Mendieta in Miami as well but after doing more research on him decided I'll pass.. I was also turned off that they never asked for a MRI, when I asked the coordinator if one is needed she said no, he doesn't need one..
August 10, 2016
I also contacted Mendietta but was told he does not perform that procedure. I did see Dr Atun in Miami and was not convinced. He kept trying to convince me to get a new procedure he does with lipo to make me look like I have a six pack, although I emphasized that my stomach was not my concern. (Mind you I do not have much fat on my stomach) so I immediately passed on that.
How long was your procedure? How many days did you have to stay in he hospital?

Lmao @ 6 pack.. The procedure was 6.5 hrs, I had a pretty complicated case, very large hard granulomas on each hip and skin discoloration on the hip area.. I stayed in the hospital for 2 days, It's called CDC (I'm not too sure what that stands for) but it was a clean hospital and the nurses made me feel comfortable.. My 2 nurses during my stay spoke very good English so that was a plus
August 10, 2016
Oh wow. That's a pretty long procedure. Was most of the substance removed? Did you have bad symptoms before the procedure?
August 10, 2016
Good I choose Gallerani and have not healed!!
August 10, 2016
Omg most of those are what I am feeling and I thought it was just me overworking myself

Hello, I had a question. Is The ammount in US dollars?
August 11, 2016
Yes! It doesn't include an extra $600 US for IV pump, massages, meds, hyperbaric chamber treatments, Faja and some other stuff which are all optional. If I could do it again I would've passed on the dressing changes, chamber and massages and just paid the nurse on the RH to do them. Traveling to the clinic on a daily basic for these things is a lot
August 11, 2016
The house I'm at has a hyperbaric chamber, I would rather pay to have them done here than traveling across town to the clinic for them
