(Right after suregery, July 2014) Don't let the hype make you you miss out on a good doctor (my opinion)...Do the consultation and then make a decision based on your experience and how YOU feel. Dr. Contreras is super humble and honest. (December 2014)--After the surgery I did start wondering if he did the surgery himself (he might have but certain things happened which made me questions him) After voicing my concerns with him and letting him know that after 4 months I still didnt see any drastic changes in my bbl he offered for me to come back and he will take $150 off the next bbl...Really...$150 then I sent him another email telling him I felt insulted, then he wrote back and then offered $300....bye...at that point I just called it a lost. I never disrespected him or came out of character just voiced my opinion fairly as a patient....Sometimes I think I was talking to Contreras via email and sometimes I think someone else was replying to his emails....All and all I called it a lost for the bbl...the nose job was worth it so the entire $3500 I paid for both would still be more for a nose job in the states....I would not work with Contreras again because he lost the trust I had in him when we initially met. P.S..he blocked me from instragram...after I emailed him about the big booty girls he had on his instragram after he told me in his office that he dosent do over exaggerated butts, he is more of a natural doctor. I asked him in the email how come I wasnt able to get the results of the girls he showed on instagram (I didn't want a over exaggerated butt but I did want it to look like I got a bbl) When I called him out on the pic on instagram (nicely) he blocked me from instragram. Please note..all our emails I was extremely respectful and never gave him any intent that I was the kind of person to be vicious or malicious because I am not. I am just truthful and want to be treated the same way I treat others.

Your nose looks good the after picture right after your surgery scared me!!
Wow your nose look so good :)
Thank you.
Thank you.
Ur nose looks good..did he use an implant?
no he did not use implants
Thank you for posting such an honest and open account of your experience. I really appreciate you for this!
Thank you Buzylzzy for your feedback.
Just so you know, you are the sole reason that I am going with Dr. Contreas. I recently became pregnant, so I'm planning to go next June, but your account was perfect. I am doing rhinoplasty, BBL, BA (with lift), and aggressive lipo at the waist. I will talk to him about doing the surgery himself, and set realistic expectations of my anticipated results. He doesn't book that far out (2016), but my mind is set. Thanks again.
Your nose is amazing . Thanks for this review

Post Op Pics....Contreras

Per my preopp uodate...I waited as Contreras said to do...6 months later..heres my bbl results...let me know if I'm over exaggerating. ..FYI...there was absolutely no fat injected toward the bottom of my butt just at the top..which is probably why I bounced back so quickly and NEVER had any pain sitting on my butt...None!

I see what you see. You are not tripping. It's the worst when a doc leaves fat on you and doesn't give you enough booty.
Thank you for your response.
I went to him in October 2014. He said he would lipo my arms and inner thighs he didn't. My stomach still has fat as well. I was planning on going back to him in January for round two but I changed my mind to go to Yily. I also wanted him to do my nose, but haven't seen much of his work. Can you post new before and after pictures of your nose?
Same here..he said he would do lipo on my inner thighs and he didn't. Thats why I questioned if he is doing all his surgeries himself. I have to take new pics amd repost...I will try to do it after work tonight.

More nose pics please
Your nose looks great!!,can you please tell me his email. Or WhatsApp and what was your quote $
Hi Minni, Sorry it took so long. He charges $1000. for the nose job with a bbl and lipo. Seperately its $2500. You can email him at: plasticacontreras@yahoo.com. We did not communicate via Whats App.
Thank you...
Wow he did a amazing job...how is your healing process coming along
Hey Sexy, it came and went. No pain and everything is well. The only thing is I still have the marks of the stitches in the creases of my nose. It never went away. Thats the only thing I'm unhappy with.
Are you able to send pics of it...because his communicating through email
Wow he did an excellant job on your nose chica! Hey look post some pics of your bbl I wld like to see his work bcz you say he keeps his pts overnight w him at least 24hrs rt after sx? I prefer that instead of sending us directly home rt after sx! Happy healing and speedy recovery! Chica shoot u five mos now rt girllllly quit playing and show us dat phatty! ;))))
Read the bio at the bottom hun....pretty much sums up the no bbl pics thing
I did but that didn't answer my question regarding the overnight stay before he releases u to the RH! I did research on him and he is not with Cipla so he makes his own rules and that made my light bulb turn on about a few things. No worries my girlfriend who owns Serenity told me if I dare consider him she wld beat me lol!
He does give you 1 free nught at his clinic which is very nice....his staff however. ..RUDE (at least the nurses who were outside my door) I did have an overnight nurse who was amazing bit once she left it was impossible to get help from the other nurses. Pleae make sure you pay for an overnight nurse to stay with you.
Don't go to him for a bbl..ill postmy post op pics in a sec and then you'll see why...I was fair and patient...he kept telling me wait just wait and you will see. Mind you I had 3 different friends who did their bbl with Yilly and Cabral and they kept telling me I was a fool for waiting but I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt. ..I was a fool. It was a slight change in my butt and I mean slight. I did get hips but I paid for a bbl...ugh
I was only speakin of pics part. Could see she wasn't happy. A well known DR lady told me the same thing (well she said "NO noooo noooo") and I trust that plus he's not a SODOCIPRE member so I'm skraight lol
Ur nose looks amazing kudos!!!
