Hello! I'm not very used to writing on these websites but I'd like to tell about my experience with the removal of biopolymers so it can be helpful to other people who are affected like me. A year and a half ago I increased my buttocks size. I went to a esthetician in London who injected me hyaluronic acid. Six months later after the injection, I did a MRI due to a fall and I have been told that I had biopolymers. I was shocked and I started searching for the best way to eliminate them and the best doctor who does this kind of treatment. I contacted doctors from different countries through the internet by sending them the MRI results and photos. It has been difficult choosing which doctor suited for me and my problem and eventually I chose doctor Carlos Alberto Rios from Cali (Colombia). I chose him because he was the only one that did not tell me what I wanted to here. I didn't want to make the same mistakes and I wanted a doctor who told me clearly the gravity of the situation and of its side effects. He has many videos on the web where he explains well the kind of surgery you are exposed to. I understand that there are girls who scare their reality and prefer doctors who tell them to rebuild them or put implants in the same surgery of withdrawal. It is important to choose a doctor who adopts the cutting technic instead of the liposuction since the silicone doesn't go through the cannula. It is also important that he does a lifting right after the surgery so that part of the body doesn't remain flushy. I'm aware that among the other doctors, Carlos Alberto Rios is one of the most expensive but eventually the cheapest always turns out to be the most expensive. Therefore, I suggest to rely on the best surgeons obviously if it can be affored. Dr. Rios seemed to me a very capable and fully informed doctor and 100% prepared for the removal of the biopolymers, I had the surgery and I had complications ... a possibility that may occur in the removal Because the tissues were very damaged and Dr. Rios and all his team were outstanding in helping me in everything. He personally cured me and gave me a lot of tranquility being in a country that is not mine. His team has tremendous human qualities, especially my nurse Diana of whom I will always have great memories, his assistant Jessica who is very charming and helpful, they are all great from the receptionist to the doorman. I feel positive about my problem and perhaps need another withdrawal. I do not rule it out, but it is important at all times to be very aware of our reality and to put intelligence to our problem. I had surgery with many other girls with whom I became friends. All of the other girls recovered in 16 days, 20 days, while my situation got complicated and I had to remain almost 2 months. First for anemia, second an edema that opened my wound.I do not blame Dr. Rios, I am aware that each body reacts differently. I hope that my experience helps other girls decide on which doctor to choose. I can only recommend Dr. Rios and with no doubt I would choose him again. I encourage everyone and we are not alone because there are professionals like Dr. Rios who know everything about our problem and have all the knowledge and the best technique to help us. Hugs to all
