Rhinoplasty care
$14,185
It was hard for me to get information on my Rhinoplasty care from Dr. Mejia he actually seem like he was in a rush for my second and last appointment with him 11 days post-op. He actually taped my nose and told me to keep it taped consistently for two more weeks and not to get my face wet and after that consistently for another week. This is where I got annoyed with him because before the surgery I asked if going back to work after 15 days would be enough time and he told me yesterday. Then he's going to turn and and tell me I have to keep tape on my face for two more weeks. I couldn't even really talk to him as he was rushing to go do surgery. Anyway I contacted the doctor that he told me did him follow care as he was too busy to do follow care. I pleaded with Dr Rodriguez that I needed to go back to work after the 15 days and couldn't go to work with my face taped up. After Dr Rodriguez contacted Dr Mejia I guess it was agreed I could remove the tape and reapply in the evening. I'm still unsure of how long I continue taping or when it would be OK for me to wear sunglasses. But I guess I'll take it day by day and thank God my nose is not all messed up.

Three weeks post-op Rhinoplasty
Even though I have mixed feelings about Dr Mejia due to his customer service skills and communication. I like to keep it truthful as alot of people really on this site and the reviewsurgeon. With that being said I think he did a pretty decent job with my Rhinoplasty. It is only three weeks post-op and my nose is still swollen but apart from the scars on the sides I'm liking the results. People don't even realize I had my nose done or they just haven't asked.

What did he do? I think you had a really cute nose before. It's still cute, which is really good because sometimes people's before nose looked better than the after.

Okay, I see now. A very slight difference. He did a really good job at not making it too extreme.

Flipped implants less than 3 months after surgery
Missing my old breast but I was having a problem with the implant contracting when I would bend over in situations such as just putting cream on my body after a shower. Dr Mejia initially told me it was the muscle contracting which I believed and told me to take muscle relaxers which I did. This all started happening less than three months after surgery. Needless to say the muscle relaxers didn't work and this kept happening. When he went in he was honest enough in telling me the implants had flipped and the pockets were open and he had to sew the pockets up. Even with this happening less than three months after me getting the implants he still charged me $1000 to replace and fix them and blamed this on me not sleep in a bra after the two month mark when he initially had told me this was ok. Now according to Dr Mejia I have to wear a bra all of the time even to sleep in at night for the rest of my life to prevent this from happening again.

Awww no bueno! Sleeping with a bra for the rest of your life? That doesn't even begin to sound comfortable! We come home and like to get nekkid! Hope you're healing well now.

I am thank you. Yes that socks, before breast implants I used to enjoy going without a bra in the evenings. Those days are over for me now :(.

Have you had a second opinion in the states about having to wear one all the time?
C
April 11, 2016
No, I posted a question on realself and most if not all of the doctors said no. But Dr. Mejia is claiming that this happened after less than three months because I didn't wear one at night. This is after I wore the post surgical bra faithfully for over two months.

Yes, I'm glad you sought out some answers. I guess you can at least wear one until you are completely healed maybe 6 months to a year. Hopefully he stitched a lil tighter. Good Luck.

Oh wow not nice !! Me hearing this send red flags up!! Did Dr Mejia explain these things to you before doing the procedure? I am so not happy hearing this happening to you right now

I think Dr Mejia has changed. I think he still does ok work but I've seen better. It seems he's more worried about money right now than the wellbeing of his patients. Still like his assistant Leftny/Paola but I would not go back to him or recommend him to anyone.
