Final Review. 6 months. Front looks good, back not so much

I enjoyed my stay thoroughly in Bogota with Dr Gomez and his team. All that being said, I am not happy with my back and arms AT ALL. The pics speak for them self. They suggested a possible back lift, but I know I don’t need one. Several other doctors have told me the amount of fat in my back is too much hence the creasing. And that they can fix it. Soo here we go, once more. I think my shape and stomach does look a lot better and if you really speak up and not get intimidated during the visit with the docs you will get what you want. I think i stresses my shape and stomach so much that my back was neglected. Overall a good experience though. B- , 7/10

Revision: Different like day and night are my surgery experiences with Dr Gomez & Alvarez

Gonna post my full review soon of my revision by Dr Gomez, but all I can say is everything about my experience with Dr Gomez & his team & Imagenes, Alvarez & the recovery center (I can't remember their name) is like night and day.
Attitudes are high at Imagenes first of all, and it's no wonder Dr Alvarez got out. But second of all, I was not pleased with my body AT ALL when Alvarez was done with it. He never did see me for a follow up. I had to demand to see him. I also had to take out my own stitches after like 3wks.
Anywho, here I am laying in my 2br apartment in Colombia relaxing after going to Mount Montserrate today.. my caretaker is in the kitchen cooking dinner. My masseuse came in early this morning bcz we had excursions planned only 1 week after getting full body Lipo. No BBL.. (I do go back and forth with booty envy tho thinking maybe I should've done it)
I've seen Dr Gomez twice now for my follow ups. One at his office and one he came to visit.
I'll continue on an actual review for him later on. I just want to see how I heal too so I can give a full honest feedback of my journey

Alvarez, not worth it. Waste of Money

Had 12 areas of Lipo, full back, abdomen & love handles. 2 days for my check up, I tell my nurse my back looks weird, it doesn't hurt like the rest & it feels like it hasn't been touched. I demand to talk to Alvarez who gives me a call & then sets time to see him. He fast talks his way thru it like a salesman, "it could be for a couple reasons, maybe you were bleeding too much, maybe we reached the 4 liters max". So I asked how many liters were removed, he looks at my documents & says 3 liters. So after talking some more he agrees to a revision Lipo at his new clinic in a few months. In the meantime I have done 18 massages and now I'm somewhat lumpy & there is a line of demarcation in my side...it's literally feels like the area has been suctions over & over. & I have some unevenness to my love handles which he says is normal. -_- anyway I go to see him for my revision quote at his new clinic & he wants to charge me for the facility & the anesthesiologist fees, $1500, ok cool, but then he says another $2000 to correct my back & and another $1500 for the love handles unevenness that he messed up. Then after I call him out, he tells me he won't operate on me because he knows he can't make me happy and that he thinks I should find another doctor. I have chatted with several ladies who had similar complaints but are too ashamed to post their pics or just don't want to post. Some are having their revision surgery done. I have finally decided to move forward with a revision as well. Run from Dr Sergio Alvarez. Some girls look great, but if you on the loser side, you are screwed. He does not care!

Overall rating

Responsiveness ok, but he is a fast talking salesman. He definitely needs more practice & I think his cheap rate is allowing that. I am not pleased & will be doing a revision
