I had my procedure in March. At first i was optimistic but I actually agree with you. My work was not worth the money spent by a long shot. He injected fat in the top part of my butt but the rest looks the same, it was a very poor job. My lipo is also uneven. It's been 3 months so i'm comfortable saying that my results will not change. I cannot recommend this doc despite the good care.

So now you see that I wasn't over exaggerating. very poor work

Yes, did he use the same method? It's like a layer of fat on the top, but the rest of the butt wasn't shaped or touched at all. it's weird.

Yes yes he did and now I'm sitting here doing squats to try to get the bottom to get some projection and my lipo is whole Nother story.what a total waste of money

Please people need to hear the good and the bad I am a realist. Don't sugarcoat anything. If we were not taking a look at ourselves we 2ould not be on here! I was looking at the great reviews and how people were singing his praises but as a African American Female I am cautious anyway. I want to know you know what our skin has a tendency to do.like keloids and such.please post to other people

You guys have to keep posting I was strongly looking at him too until I got to your review I am not saying he is a wash but I need to see more! He is double certified, in America and Columbia. That is what got me. I want to know everything!!!! Please keep posting hope this is not your end results
C

Double certified means nothing. Honestly, I would stick to the docs in the states. Plus, if you need a revision it will be easier to get there. If you aren't worried about the risk, at least the I did not get anywhere near what I expected.

Please don't judge the work of Colombian surgeons based on the work of one American surgeon who happens to work in Colombia. I just saw another review of a surgery this doctor did and the results are aweful, no wonder he's not practicing here in the States because one could easily suit him for the money back and all that.
The vast mayority of Colombian surgeons really know what they're doing and for the most part almost always deliver great results, I'm close to an area with a large Colombian population and all the girls who've had surgery in their country look amazing.

What surgeons in Columbia would you recommend based on the results you've seen? I hear Paz is amazing!

It's sort of look like two big golf balls on the top or your butt

I knew right away that my results were going to be horrible because I came out looking so fat .I've seen so many people have liposuction and their stomachs came out flat as a pancake .and they had bigger stomachs then I did.he's tried to tell me that it was just swelling and it will go down. I knew it was horrible results from the beginning. My body is uneven and I wasted my hard earned money despite the poor botched up surgery I received the key or you get there is remarkable I will never recommend this doctor for him and his team doesn't seem to have very skillful cosmetic surgery skills he is a very knowledgeable doctor but his hands on skills are not the greatest as I am reading through other people's profiles everybody seems to come out a asymmetric and so did I .

I went to Dr this January and he is a wonderful caring surgeon. He and his team are wonderful and give the best care and attention to me. I love my results and miss the team everyday. If anyone is second guessing about going to see Dr Campbell you should check my page. Unlike this page here I have posted pictures as proof. I am now 8 weeks and everything is beautiful.

I just think that they are inexperienced doctors when I come to lipo... I have no type of shape whatsoever .I really regret going to them I wish I had chose a Colombian doctor instead

Venus - I am still amazed at the changes and my surgery was November 29th. I've been walking 3-4 days a week, changed my eating habits and am still shrinking. But I guess surgery results vary by person and lifestyle. I hate knowing that someone wasn't pleased with their results, regardless of who their surgeon was.

Do you have before photos for comparison area you still eating a compression garment? Are you massaging the area? Sorry for all the questions but it can take 6-12 months to see full results hang in there
B

Yes I am still wearing my comparison garment,eating more healthy and excercising... I just hope things get better for me

If you don't massage, all of the tissue and fluid will harden. The surgery is the easy part, the post-op maintenance is the long term commitment.

Also consider having your faja's taken in or altered. I brought back a smaller size than the one I wore when I left Colombia and two weeks later, I had to have it taken in by my seamstress. They should always be tight, but not deathly uncomfortable. About every 10 days, I would have the entire faja made smaller and smaller until I was done wearing them.
B
April 12, 2016
I am doing that I bought 5 faja I am just going to give it some time but this is not what I asked for that's what I keep trying to say .I was not shaped like I wanted to be sur I was not shape like I wanted to Be shaped

I did my research on the surgery very well and I knew the aftercare was the most important part .

I hear what you are saying. You are not happy with the shape he gave you! Thats a true bummer. (Big hug) without seeing the pics & just reading you get the impression whatever he did was great but it doesn't matter if its not what you want. Most of these dolls we see have multiple rounds and those are the ones we admire.
Are you thinking of doing another round? Did you reach out to him, will he fix it?
