You were gorgeous before and still even after the weight gain. I'm glad the surgery went well and you got the results you hoped for. I'm toying with going to the DR or Colombia for my surgeries (full body lipo) and am leaning towards Colombia. Did Dr. Campbell speak English (or his nurse Angela)? Also, was the hotel that's included in Premium's Packaging nice/exceed your expectations?

Final Questions:
- with the Chin lipo how much did the total cost come to?
- how much were you quoted for Buccal Fat Reduction?

Thanks!:)

A picture speaks a 1000 words.
Me on Sunday (surgery was Monday = only 5 DAYS POST)! Amazing!

Just got home & couldn't wait to shout praise ;) Thank you so much Dr Alex Campbell & staff for absolutely everything, Pre, During & Post. There is nothing I could have asked for more. I was not left to my own at any stage after surgery and after I paid. He even wanted to know we got home safe and emailed right back when I emailed just now and even enquired about my plane swelling! Seriously, which doc does that?! I am so moved!

I have never ever ever experienced so much care, time and efficiency and forethought, professionalism, safety-paramount attitude (& I can go on and on) from any medical professional anywhere else!

1 week out & I already have great results on lipo on my face, arms, teeny tiny stomach and waist, between my boobs and underarms, inner thighs and my cutesy butt!

Now my bf & I might make the 36 hour journey next year to get his small tummy bulge removed as we are just so impressed! Sure, there are qualified PS' here and our flights alone cost $5000 together (& we are not super-rich, that is a lot of money) but if we are going to put our lives & bodies in someone's hands, it's definitely Dr Campbell's! He is very affordable, fair and ethical (even told me not to do my boobs if I felt I didn't really need it!)!

Any questions, feel free to msg me!

Cannot recommend Premium Care enough - from the pre-surgery to bedside manner lol they actually visited me and doc dropped me off flowers the next day & nurse Angela was just always there for me! And the masseuse was amazing! Double sessions every day and so helpful and kind!

Back home and nothing but praise for Premium. They are truly premium, in their care and all interactions. I cannot believe a doctor would be so accessible and put up w my analytical a$$ (pardon the pun ;) to this degree.

He even pre-empted that the airport might have a problem w letting me fly so long so soon (7 days) after surgery & on his own accord, gave me an all clear medical note & told me to downplay my surgery. My brain was all muddled so I'm so glad my doc had my back, literally!!

Still got questioned as I decided to use the surgery card upon check in to get seats together (I booked my partner's flights later than mine on an overbooked flight & there were no seats together!). That alerted the girl at check in obviously and I had to be taken to the airport doctor. I downplayed how much surgery I had & told him I felt great & did so much sightseeing and how much I love Colombia... and he was more interested in telling me to come back to Colombia and how he thought I was so pretty haha the people in Colombia are so nice! To be honest, my faja was making me sore where it squeezed my skin but shhh :)

So, seats together and off we went! But then mainly my legs swelled up on the plane and my faja was cutting into my upper thighs where the pee hole is. Like my swollen flesh was trying to escape the XXS faja! Elevated my legs as much as I could as nurse Angela told me, & my bf told me to put tissues near my groin and inner thigh to wedge the faja and it was just manageable. Doc also told me to get up and walk every 3 hours, which helped.

I had a 1 hr + 6 hr + 16 hr = 23 hours of flying and about 12 of waiting around = 35 hour journey! And I did it!

***About my previous comment about my ass - silly me working for nothing , I just had to wait for it to shrink! The doc kindly provided me with a chart that shows the emotions u go through and questioning etc u do post surgery, and it hit the nail on the head. Anyway, swelling is down so much and when I sent him an email after that ass review about those concerns, he met me in office after my massage and showed me detailed pictures of the process of swelling and healing... And I was even more reassured. I just could never imagine a doc here taking the time out to do that. And I was very fortunate to find an American doctor in Colombia as he knew exactly what I wanted (conservative ass) even though he does do those big round ones popular in Colombia.
