44yrs Old - Lipo and BBL with Maikel Jimenez Ferreras
ORIGINAL POST
Hi ladies, I was not planning to write anything...

Hi ladies, I was not planning to write anything before the surgery but here I am writing about me and my journey. I am schedule for surgery on 11/10/16 with Doctor Maikel Jimenez. Honestly I have been doing research (day and night) for 2yrs and I don’t know why I picked him since I just recently heard about this doctor about 5 months ago and he doesn’t have many reviews like other doctors have (Medina, Yily, Diaz, Wakiris, Almonte, Piccozzilio, etc). I am doing a lipo with bbl and hopefully next year I will do the tummy tuck. I wanted to do it all at once, but since my main concern is the butt, the smarter thing to do is to slit the procedures. I find out that when you do a tt the doctor is unable to perform an intensive lipo on the abdominal area which he will have less fat to use for the bbl. I weight 142lbs and most of my fat is located on the belly and I need all the fat they can get to do the bbl. I picked De La Paz recovery home and already put the down payment, booked my flight, did the blood work yesterday and I packed my luggage already LOL. I must confess that I am not excited YET, I am just very nervous. I am willing to post pics of before and after once the procedure is done. Anyway ladies, I wish everyone a fast recovery, no complication and let’s pray for each other.

October 19, 2016
Hey girl I'll see you over there I'm going to Dr. Mallol for sx on the 7th.

@michi87, hi are you staying at De la Paz recovery? My surgery is with Maikel Jimenez. Our date is just around the corner LOL
October 19, 2016
Oh well good luck on your surgery and keep us posted. I will do the same mine its just a few days after :-)

Hey I want to give you some comfort and ease I just landed back home yesterday and my Dr. Was Maikel Jimenez Ferraras also. My surgery was Oct. 10th and let me tell you he may not be well known as I feel like he should he did a great job on me and he did a house call when I got nervous for my swelling. Look at my page and look at my review thus far I need to update everyone but I haven't got the chance. I stayed at Sweetheart RH and I had a great experience there. So good luck and don't worry you made the right choice with picking your dr.

Also, if you have ig you can pull him up and see his work. He works with all kinds of body type that's what caught my eyes because if he could do miracles for someone who is bigger than me then I knew he would do a great job with me. Hope this helps.
October 20, 2016
IG? is that Instragram? HAHAHA well I hope he can do miracle with me as well.
October 20, 2016
Thanks so much for the update...I am so happy for you that made it home safe and happy with the results. The date is getting so closed that I not sure how he will do surgery on me with my blood pressure so high :-(. I take medicine but when I get nervous or anxious it goes high. Right now I am trying now to read to many articles here in realsefl because some are negative experience and right now the only thing I need is a good vibe. Thanks so much for your email XOXOXO

Hi I'm actually scheduled with dr. Mikhail on April 3rd please let me know how everything went and I'm definitely praying for you I'm scheduled to get a BBL tummy tuck and maybe an arm lift give me a holler back God bless you thank you
November 15, 2016
Hi @dabakh my surgery went well and the doctor is really nice. However I have to be honest with you the clinic condition was terrible. But you should be fine because I find out that he is going to a brand new location by the end of the year which means that by April you will be having surgery at the new clinic. Good luck and don't hesitate to ask me any questions.
November 16, 2016
Thank you so much... I already paid my $300 to schedule my surgery day so it's too late to change but he definitely is a good doctor from the pictures I said and I know he did a very good job on you but I definitely hope he moves to a new clinic by April because if I go there and see if the clinic is in bad shape I'm going to be scared. I want to know everything I picked I forgot which Recovery House I picked but how is the recovery house and did he give you the blue pill and did you wake up during surgery and I know that he understands English very well he is not a popular doctor right now but I believe that he will be popular I'm having a lot of problems trying to find out information about him because he's not very popular but I need to know everything thank you so much I hope you love your results God bless you

Hi, he did not gave me the blue pill. They took me inside and put me to sleep right away. Yes I did get up half way but he explained to me that my blood pressure was not stable so it was best to keep me up. I speak Spanish so I'm not sure how good/bad is his English. Praying for you and you will be fine.

Hi ladies,
I am so discourage and overwhelm with everything. I go my results back and I noticed in red letters INR 0.95. Since I didn’t know what it meant, I went online and did my research and this is what I found:
What does a low INR .09 mean?
A low INR means your anticoagulation dose is too low and your blood is clotting too quickly.
Your blood is “too thick” and this puts you at risk of developing conditions caused by a blood clot.
Now I am not sure if I am doing the right thing by taking a risk of blood clots

Hey, I see your INR says 0.95 and what you looked up was 0.09, is this right because it's not the same as your results and did you talk to your doctor about your results? If you are at a high risk of blood clotting see if there is any medication your doctor could give you that can help with that and if not don't worry love I would not take a risk with your life at all your body is not bad at all so you still have something to look forward too and if anything and you really want it bad then change your diet to veggies and fruits along with alkaline your body so it can rejuvenate your body to where you won't have that problem. But first talk to your dr. You never know the doctor may have other way around it. Blessings!

Hi, They have injections that they use as blood thinner, however my husband now doesn't want me to take a risk. This is so depressing. I prepared mentally for an entire year, paid my deposit, the recovery home, purchase my airline tickets, take my vitamins, got my faja, bobby pillow, compression sock, cream, gauze, etc, etc and now this. And the worst thing is that I was 125lbs and gained 20lbs now I'm 145lbs to have enought fat for the BBL as the doctor told me back in May I was too skinny.
October 27, 2016
Damn, love I'm sorry. Did you talk to your doctor and see what they say? Yeah, if your hubby don't want you to go maybe it's best. God willing you can probably do it down the road.
October 27, 2016
I’m a bit upset because the surgeon just got back to me and said “oh yeah I missed that detail on you blood work” grrrr. My first reaction was “REALLY”? the letters were highlighter in red, how can he missed that? I’m so sad
October 27, 2016
Wow. I'm so sorry! *hugs* I can only imagine how disappointed you are....but on the good side, at Least the doctor didn't put money before your health. He didn't gamble with your life, and I don't think you should risk it. :( if he used the injections over a period of days and it has somehow "stabilized" then maybe you can probably consider. The only thing is you'd have to extend your stay in DR most likely.
October 27, 2016
Okay so I didn't read properly and assumed you were in DR already haha. Sorry! Girl you have 3 weeks still? Go to your primary care physician and get that blood situation sorted asap! Let them know of your intended surgery and work with a doctor to rectify it. Also I'm surprised Dr jiminez told you that @ 125lb you didn't have enough fat. I weigh less than that and he said I'm good candidate but can gain if I want bigger results, but everyone is different. Please let us know what your decision and final outcome is!
October 27, 2016
@determination - I will keep you posted, right now I don't know what I am going to do. My primary doctor is 110% against plastic surgery and she won't even speak to me regarding that topic. I had to visit another doctor for the blood work. I will ask God to speak to me some how, I know he can and to let me know what should I do. Thanks much girl and God bless
October 28, 2016
That was my next question to her because 0.95 and 0.09 is two totally different values and if it's 0.95 it is within range and she has nothing to worry about
October 28, 2016
First your dr shouldn't put her personal feelings first as your primary physician you are her priority and as a healthcare worker MYSELF I know first hand that my feelings should never even be brought into a conversation when it comes to my patients. As your Heath care provider she can't dictate what and what not to speak to you about that is negligence and I would be reporting her. She has to sit down and go over your concerns with you now she can advise you not to go for plastic surgery because of the risk etc but it's no way in hell I would be tolerating a dr that I'm paying money for not speaking to me about my questions comments and concerns just because of her personal beliefs !
October 28, 2016
I totally agree with you but bottom line is I actually like her and she has been my doctor for yearssss. I was very upset at first, she literally told me that she will not be part of anything that had to do with plastic surgery. I had to go and find another doctor to do the blood work.
October 28, 2016
Right but now your running into a problem with your INR and I'm assuming she has been your dr for years and she knows your health conditions concerns etc so it would be very wise for her to speak with you vs a dr you went to just for blood work about what's best for you health wise only because you've developed that history with her. That's not saying a new healthcare provider can't give you insight on the underlying condition but I know I would feel much safer and secure talking to a dr who's know me medically for a period of time vs someone who just did my lab work ..
October 28, 2016
Sorry somewhere along the way I got confused lol but from my understand a inr less the 1.1 is normal as long as a person isn't taking warfarin or heparin if you are taking either drug then it should be between 2.0-3.0 .. follow up with your dr to see the average range used for your healthcare provider.
October 29, 2016
Thanks much.... I need this weekend to rest my mind, too stress right now LOL
Thank you for joining us pre op on your journey. Trust me, you will get excited very soon. Do you have someone traveling with you?
Well this is fantastic news. He will take good care of you through the recovery. They always get a little wigged out with these things. When they don't understand something 100% it's a bit rattling to them.
