Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

READ ALL / see all pics of before and after! My body has been left so much WORSE off since Garcia operated on me in November 2020 - this is an example of his ability destroy your fit body!
I’m a 23 year old, 175cm, fit guy, however when I was a teenager I put on a lot of weight quickly and then when I lost it I was left with some loose skin just below my belly button, but NOTHING major to the eye or camera (as you will see on my pics), only if touched it was noticeable. As an adult I have maintained a very fit active life and usually weighing in at 70kg.
I travelled from the UK to have surgery with him as I genuinely thought he was above board... oh was I wrong.... I had a HiDef lipo sculpture with fat transfer to glutes, with J plasma, chest defining and chin lipo with j plasma on the 12th November 2020.
The skin on my stomach is tighter as a result of the j plasma but it is not consist, some parts are tighter than others and around my core is bloated/pushed out ... the muscle underneath feels damaged, causing pain and aches months on, particularly when I stretch.. there’s so much more wrong... When I sit down, I get a thick line / swelling along and under my belly button. My belly button is weird and the skin inside has scarred strangely. Also under a light, you can see the contour irregularities in the lipo and how it is not smooth and the dents in my torso and just below below button.
My love handles/hips are not symmetrical... this was one one of my biggest concerns to him and requests to ensure my waist was snatched. I have also got a constant muffin top when I put clothes on, even underwear or light shorts/joggers (which I NEVER had before), it’s even worse when I sit down I get a huge and unattractive tire , which makes me so insecure.
When I lay down, my abdomen and hips and pushed out and bloated as such. I don’t understand how my body is bigger, wider and thicker, and this was something I noticed very soon after surgery to which he dismissed as ‘inflammation’.. now more than 4 months down the line... he can’t keep using that excuse and he’s gone silent... I am lead to believe that this is a result of very bad scar tissue (and it makes sense, he boasts and prides himself on being very aggressive , what a mistake).
The next problem is the V lines on my waist, I requested him to define them... however, one (left side) is unnaturally defined and the skin is droppy / flaccid over the marking causing it to be overly marked and the right side is very faintly marked - I spotted this week 1 post pp, and typically for months on end Garcia has said oh swelling swelling...
I see no chest defining , and he said over time my chest would lift slightly, but it hasn’t... also I have scar tissue behind my right nipple, it hurts a lot and is very hard. I also have the same under right arm pit and a lump in the middle of my upper abs.
I recently noticed the hole/hollow bit (everyone has) in my right armpit that I used to have , is no longer like that and it’s like the muscles there is no longer tight and subsequently my armpit dip is flat..?
As seen on pics, the glutes are bigger than before, but also not symmetrical and the hip dip on right glute is deeper than the left one!Now the WORST bit...
I wanted to tighten the skin under my chin... I didn’t have a double chin before, but I didn’t like how the skin was (albeit normal) when I put my chin close to my chest ... I wanted to get it very chiselled like a models jawline (not that my jawline was bad before , it was great!)
At the clinic I asked the dr about tightening this skin and he said about chin lipo with j plasma... THE WORST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE. This is partly my fault because i didn’t need it at all, and I had a really nice jawline and definition... and unfortunately Garcia has botched me my face and body and takes no responsibility for his actions...
God knows what he has done, but my chin is deformed and extremely tiny, when I smile it’s wonky, tiny and ugly (he reckoned it was nerve damage initially and said it would’ve got better alone by 3 months, now 5+ months on zero change... I don’t trust his word).
My face was already slim and chiselled... now it’s gaunt, my chin is like a pin... the skin under my chin is puffy (like my hips). It seems the skin on my neck is pulling down too much therefore the skin under my jawline is covering the sharp jawline definition I had before.
As a result, I have actually LOST definition of my jawline and he’s worsened how the skin sits and when I put my chin down and when I speak I have a slight double chin and thick skin??! ... also if I stretch my neck out, two lines appear (platysmal strings) and hollowness between them... Which are ugly, hurt to touch and make it hard to shave. When I questioned Garcia he told me oh it’s normal that now the skin is tighter they will show... ridiculous and outright ludicrous... lastly some of the scars are bad, beneath my left ear is thick ugly and noticeable , as well es under the chin it’s thick and left armpit.
His clinic staff are more or less pleasant when you are there at the clinic though you sit waiting for hours as if you were in A&E. the shocking thing was NOT once whilst I was in Colombia did I get a text or call post-op asking how I was, if I was alive and kicking, or even when I left the country... and I have sent countless messages, of concern, worries etc .. and he would reply over a week later just brushing everything off as ‘swelling’ and that I need to be patient until 3 months, now he’s time has ran out as I’m at 5 months .. and he is missing in action... gives pathetic rude responses says nothing of use.
He has deactivated his INSTAGRAM account and his google page has suddenly got 9 NEW 5* FAKE reviews... the poor people in his team having to do that , after a few months ago some clients posted bad reviews (complaining about a similar problem that I have now), unfortunately just after I had surgery, had I seen them before I’d have never let that monster touch my body.
I questioned him about those reviews and of course he blamed the patient saying she wasn’t following proper aftercare... ironic she suffered and so am I .. and I have been so incredibly thorough with my aftercare, because I was so determined to have the best results possible! A doctor like him will always hide behind the ability to blame ‘technology’ (Jplasma not sticking) and patients aftercare, the reality is going into his operating room is like going into the slaughter house.
I am not the type to write reviews, not good nor bad but I am beyond fed up of his constant off putting and nonsense voice notes explaining that everything is inflammation, and that I need to have patience, rather than accepting responsibly of his pure negligence.
Everywhere he has touched me has a problem, I would not recommend him in a million years. He will DESTROY your body. DO NOT make the mistake I made!
I have been robbed as this man isn’t cheap!!! Daylight robbery - $27,500,000 pesos (8000$) plus all the extras you must pay at his massage clinic , drugs, hotel, flights etc ... and wants EVERYTHING in cash... to not pay tax!! And he also only declared officially $ 16,000,000 ok the receipts ... works out to way over 10k... I would’ve been better off getting it done in proper competent hands in Europe with a doctor who has morals, dignity and half a clue about what he’s doing!
My advice would be to avoid at all costs!!!!!
Any questions feel free to ask me, I am sharing my experience 100% honestly.. in the hope no one has to suffer what I did, both physically and mentally. This has really destroyed my life at the moment and is consuming me mentally... later this year I will need to focus and try to find a competent surgeon in London to help with the necessary revisions.
*since the surgery I have had around 3ml of filler injected into my jawline and chin to try and make it look better...
