I feel safer this way. I will be correcting my bbl and getting lipo to my back and stomach area.
Possible scar revision depending on recovery time.
My new Doctor will be DR Samuel Rhee from NJ I have already sent my deposit and surgery is scheduled for December 21st. One year one day PO.
I'm super excited to be getting these things corrected

Wait times

At the beginning communication is great. I feel that he is more interested in the money and anything else. The overnight nurses at the hospital horrible which are the younger girls. I always had to wait for my appointment 45 minutes to an hour because he was always late. Once I noticed something was going wrong with my incision in belly button ask to be put on antibiotics that were stronger than what he gave me. He refused because he said that I did not have an infection without testing me. I believe that he needs to listen to his patients instead of guessing at what's going on. Overall I am satisfied with how I look but not satisfied with the infection I got.

Your results are beautiful. Do you remember what antibiotics you took. I'm having my surgery with Dr Mallol in September kinda nervous about the infections.
He gave me some in Dr that weren't not strong enough. Now the ones in the us were great they worked
Thanks but I still have a few things to fix that were not done right the first time
Hi Barbie Did you end up using Dr Samuel ???
I will be my surgery is scheduled for December 21st ... I have face timed with him a couple of times and feel very comfortable with my decision.
Are you in New Jersey or traveling what price he gave you includes everything?
I want to do the bbl
I'm traveling... scar revision Lipo to stomach and back 4,300
I'm close need anything feel free to reach out. I think dec is a nice time for healing I'm going to make an appointment soon. You don't have to pay separate for anesthesiologist I went to one place before they wanted 2000 just for the anesthesia

I've been following your review. I'm glad you healed and didn't lose your life. I'm shocked you are going back so soon. What are you getting done this time? What infection did you actually have? Also, do you think a doctor will work on you again that soon after having infection?
It was a superficial infection from the stiches, but I have a few thing that need to be fixed like dog ears, nothing major. I'm look to get this taken care of before the end of the year. I'm doing research on who to go with.
Mallol actually told me to go back to him asap so he can fix me up he said I didn't have to wait
Dog ears! Oh no. And my date is Tuesday. Smh.
That's interesting, Especially since you went though that with the infection. I just feel the infections aren't indicative of his work. He does good work. You look great, as many others. Take care.
Lol he's work is great I will never take that from him. I just need to get a couple of things fixed a little more bbl and I will be good to go. Super nervous about doing this again but I have to fix the imperfections or else I will not be satisfied with round one
I went to Mallol also and wouldn't mind a round 2 of Lipo. However I plan to wait 8months to a year and I think this second round I want to stay in the states. The long traveling was just way too much on me with the surgery. R you going back to Mallol?
He price was ok for round two but I also prefer staying in the us just because it was very hard on my family me being gone for 24 days the first time.
