The search for a doctor was a long process but after reviewing many doctors we (my husband and I) felt safe and assured with Doctor John Garcia from Cali, Colombia. We choose him because of his reputation and clear talent from his before and after photos of his patients. Most plastic surgeons know the mechanics of plastic surgery but don't have the artistic eye to craft the body into harmonious curves. John is different. He knew exactly what areas would be best to leave along and what areas to enhance. Couple that along with a great bed-side manner and you have a winner. In total there are five operations I had with Dr. John. Breast Augmentation, Lipo with J Plasma (which is amazing), Brazilian butt lift, Rhinoplasty, and chin implant. In this review I will only be talking about the breast augmentation. Stay tuned for the other operations when I have time to post them.

I was brave in that I opted doing a so many procedures at once (BBl with lipo and j plasma, rhinoplasty, and breast augmentation). I would not recommend any normal patient doing so. Being of a nurse background and knowing my pain tolerance I knew I would be fine but there were differently some painful moments.

The implants sat high and tight but didn't have much pain. The bruising you see in the photos is actually from the massage therapist "jennifer" which whom I would NOT recommend using. I tried to change therapists but there were no other approved therapists from the doctors office that made house calls. She massaged too hard and caused more harm than good I would say. It's not fault to the doctor's office because they contract out massaging services to another company but I would let the office know ahead of time that you do NOT want to use her services.

That being said the doctors work was fantastic. I was worried about going UHP because I initially had in mind HP implants. However due to this being my first surgery and my chest width being narrow this was the best option for me to have the projection I wanted but also something that would fit my small frame.

There is a lot of swelling in the photos and at first I thought I may have gone too big but most of the swelling went down around week four. I'll post more about that later.

One of my nipples sagged a little before surgery (2 cm) so Doctor John made the pocket for the implant on that side sit a little lower to offset visually for the two breast which will look more balanced over time. This is one of the minor details that makes John different from other doctors. We opted for this route because I didn't want to have a breast lift just yet since there is a possibility of my husband and I have a baby in a few years and I wanted to keep the nipple safe.

Note: If you are going after more cleavage your breast plate (concave or convex is what really determines that... not necessarily the implant size). Having a larger implant only moves the breast more in the natural direction of your chest bone projection. See here in this video: https://youtu.be/AVpRkp4rkTU
I was blessed with a slight inward chest so I got great cleavage post surgery.

How do you feel his bed manners were?

Very respectful and humble conservative approach to your operation. He doesn't push you in one direction or another but instead presents good options for your body and you can decide from there. However if you do want to go larger he will do it... but with caution and warning.
