WORTH IT
Didn't think I'd be getting a round 2, but here I am! Wanted Duran for round 2. I already have my quote from her, but it is hard to get questions answered. It seems like no one monitors their Whatsapp messages, and they take forever to reply to email. I know she is probably swamped, but if your team has time to post pics on IG, they have time to get back to clients. And something someone else on here said kind of stuck with me, "if they can't get back to you before the procedure, how do you think they will treat you afterwards". I'm just feeling uneasy about her. My friend and I planned on going to Duran together, but I'm not feeling the lack of communication.
I found another surgeon who works at CIPLA, Jose Julian Flores Capellan. I saw his work on IG and I love it. He is responsive, but it seems like he is a little unorganized. His web site doesn't work, and he's not on Realself. I asked him if he was a member of SODOCIPRE, and he said he was but he's not on the site because he "doesn't have voice and vote". He's the cheapest of the bunch so far, and he has answered almost all of my questions, but I'm still waiting for a detailed e-mail quote and the answers to the questions he overlooked. I like his work the best, but still.
Dr. Medina - answers promptly, answered all my questions, seems very professional. I'm not as in love with her work as I am with Dr. JJF Capellan's, BUT communicating with her put me at ease. If I had never run into JJFC's IG, I probably wouldn't be having any second thoughts about her. She is my first choice for now. I think I'll be going with her.

Hi, I am also considering her like you mentioned keeping the communication going is always a plus also she speaks English which makes it more at ease. When are you planning on going? I am also from California, and I'm a bit scared to go alone since no one would go with me. who did you go to the first time? What about Yily De Los Santos?

Hello, I went to Dr. Ortega the first time. This time around I want to go February 2017. I don't really like Yily's BBLs. I am also considering Mallol, but think Medina will be it. When are you trying to go?
November 4, 2016
I'm waiting on that I am hoping before December but idk. Just emailed pix hopefully I'll hear from her soon.

I also am deciding on who to go to for my second round. I had my boobs lipo n bbl with yily last year. I'm not satisfied with her bbl and I saw dr Jose Julian and fell in love. I'm just scared I don't see many breast pics from him or much on real self makes it so questionable.
November 13, 2016
Yea I know what you mean. Had to pass on him for that reason. Plus he never did email me the quote I asked for. Bummer
November 14, 2016
I was thinking about going to Cabral, but I am falling in love with Dr. Julian's work
November 14, 2016
I sent him an email for a quote I have yet to hear back that is very upsetting makes me have to decide on someone else. Dr RodrÃguez also i was checking out he does good breast.

I'm deciding on Flores or Rodriguez for bbl/lipo in January. This will be rd2. I had a tummy tuck and lipo and implants done in May

I got a response from him same day via WhatsApp. He even came back online after I ended the conversation twice to answer more of my questions :)

I had done with Yily a few years back and the results were horrible. I'm planning to go with dr. Jose Julian Flores in April for round 2. Have you heard anything about him?
February 12, 2017
I just gotten quote from him as well. And I'm happy to see he not trying to rip me off, he was the only one whereas no recovery house, faja, massages and meds not included. I plan to get a prescription from my primary care doctor to cut that cost. I just gotta get a list of medications that I'd need.

I am also interest in Dr Julian work. I found one of his dolls on i.g and her body is sculpted very nice. But i am very skeptical for some reason.

You are right, communication is key. She has replied me and I kinda like Dr Julian Flores jobs. And he does a lot of women with excess skin and he even a photo of someone has similar physique with and he transformed her.

Long overdue review
calixalegriaApril 18, 2019
I did end up going with Dr. Mallol Feb 2017. I love my results and if I could do it over I would have gone with him to begin with (no shade to Dr. Ortega).
I have only one teeny, tiny complaint and it's that the upper part of my belly has a weird little bulge. I thought it was swelling, but it never went down. I guess it's not that noticeable but I didn't have it before so I do notice it. My stomach doesn't have any feeling either but I don't care about that, just making it known.
My TT scar is neat, even my wax lady has said that it's one of the best she's seen. And my boyfriend, bless his heart, thought it was my C-section scar lmao
Anyway, Mallol was knowledgeable, he's fluent in English, and his work is amazing. And he's super charismatic lol. Idk how things have changed since I've been there but you should definitely have someone who speaks Spanish go with you for after the procedure when the Dr. isn't around.
My friend went with me and our bodies are different but she looks wonderful as well. I wholeheartedly recommend him!!!
