26 YO, No Kids, Single 5'2, 155 LBS - Dominican Republic

Finished my second round with him in summer of 2017 and I’m 100% pleased. Awesome bedside manners by the doctor and his staff. They’re so patient with patients who don’t speak Spanish. My waist is snatched and my butt is perfectly round. I have the curves I was going for and I felt safe and cared for with Dr. Mallol. I never had any complications and I healed perfectly, this is an amazing doctor.

Hi guys, it's approximately 2am and I can't sleep. I was reading the latest reviews of Dr. Mallol and I felt the urge to tell my story once more. Bare with me regarding typos, or if this comes off as a scattered brained rant. I have a separate review of my first round with this amazing doctor. I have read several other stories about Dr. Mallol and I just want to give more insight into my situation. My round 1 surgery with the doctor was in July of 2016 and I stayed in DR for 8 days at Betty's Recovery House (which is nice but pretty far from the clinic, wasn't a deal breaker for me and I'll be staying again for my round 2 in March). While in DR, I also got my teeth bleached with Dr. Beltran (4days PO) and he is amazing also. I'm seeing posts saying he doctor doesn't have good bedside manners in which I must say I WAS THE ONLY PATIENT/PERSON PO THAT HAD MY DOCTOR ONE PHONE CALL OR TEXT AWAY VIA WHATS APP. Pre-Op I was talking to his assistants and so forth but Dr. Mallol made sure I left with a way to reach HIM should something go wrong. Everyone else who went to Cabral, Duran, Yily etc felt alone and had questions they wanted to ask their doctor but couldn't reach them once they lift CIPLA. Mallol is an amazing doctor, his work is incredible. But there are a few things I wish to discuss, the first being bedside manner from staff. Now unfortunately many of us are Americans (not that America is all milk and honey like they teach) but you have to understand and accept that you are in another country. Let me say it again, YOU ARE IN ANOTHER COUNTRY, HELL ISNT IT A DIFFERENT CONTINENT. That's the first thing you need to accept. I was outraged when he electric in my RH would go out for an hour (they did have backup generators) then I had to remind myself of where I was, the amount of money I saved for AMAZING WORK, and so on. Dr. Mallol speaks perfect English however, 80% or more of the people you encounter in DR DONT SPEAK ENGLISH, THEY ARENT AMERICANS AND DONT HAVE AMERICAN CUSTOMS. Although my nurses didn't speak English, they were EXTREMELY ATTENTIVE and had no issue with waiting for me to type out my questions, requests or concerns via my translator app. The second thing is your goal regarding how you want to "look". Now let's be realistic, we have seen these miraculous pictures of doctors work and make them our goal pic, blah blah blah. That's fine and wonderful. But some of the pics we seen are of patients that are 2 and 3 rounds in which is why I am going back again. Initially I was under 160 pounds but I carried fat in my stomach and although I had a butt I wanted it rounded out and hips. The doctor exceeded my expectations. That was an excellent first round and I told myself I wouldn't go back again, "this is it" like Michael Jackson but I trust my doctor and I have the funds to go again which is what I'm going to do. This time I'm getting a breast lift with implants so I'm gonna come back over here looking like a Starlets girl *judge ya mother* LOL. I have friends that weigh 140 lbs, did one round and want to go again so it just depends on the look you're going for and you have to appreciate the progress u make. No you're not gonna go from Precious to Bernice Burgos or Gissy in one round. It's just not gonna happen okay. It's not. In addition, I didn't workout, I didn't change my diet, etc. this is crazy I know, but I knew I would be going back by September because I love my doctor so much and I want him to work his magic once more. Lol. The third thing I want to discuss is the tricky [RS bleep] they refer to as your HEMO. I had an amazing hemo before surgery however I asked the doctor to basically do full body lipo (arms, back, stomach, sides, inner thigh) and a transfer which may have been the reason I need two blood transfusions. Most people plan for months ahead to get this surgery so most of you take the proper vitamins and supplements but I literally woke up one day and said "I'm gonna do this" and two weeks later I was in DR. My body was not ready. That is my fault, not the doctors. I needed two blood transfusions and had to stay at the clinic longer to ensure that I was safe and regained my energy. That made my procedure EXTREMELY stressful. Blood transfusions are a scary thing again it was solely my fault. However, that experience made me trust Mallol even more. He is a remarkable doctor. Going to him isn't a mistake. I know of people that switch doctors after round 2 and so on but I don't have to think twice about choosing Mallol again. His work is amazing and his bedside manners are more than I could wish.

Sidenote, I am also one that woke up mid way through surgery but I just waved my hand and the nurses and assistants said something in Spanish and I was put back to sleep. I didn't feel a thing. Of course it's shocking to view your own surgery live but you'll be fine. Lol


Lira is my goal person, I am featured on Mallol's IG. Feel free to ask any and all questions

I'm super happy, going back to him in March
