NY Girl went to Baez in DR

Everyone kept sayn u will see your final results in 6months n honestly I really ddnt believe their will b changes n their hasn't been. I can say now I truly REGRET goin to Baez! I'm absolutely in love wit Durans work n wish I knew abt her whn I started my research. Goin bck to DR will b more difficult for me to do, so as of right now I'm looking into stayn in the states n getting my round done. I will b getting a BL, lipo to abdomen, waist, flanks, thighs n full bck. I'm not even thinkn abt including my arms bcuz tht hurt the most while I was having surgery in DR. I felt every bit of my arms being lipo'd n it was painful n traumatizing. I can remember it like it was yesterday. And jst to think of all tht pain I endured n my arms still look the same...smh! Jst thinkn abt doing this surgery again is so depressing. Lipo hurts like hell n the recovery is no joke! Their are several more unhappy Baez patients tht reached out to me n I hope they come forward n tell their story. It was good to know tht my buddy n I are not alone in this situation. I know u cnt please everyone but if u haven't seen many post op pics tht wow u, thn keep it moving on to the nxt doctor. Dnt go in to this surgery blindsided like I did n have the regrets tht I'm now dealing wit bcuz u will b depressed. The fast response to emails, answering all of my questions, worrying abt my health n the sweet/kindness is Wht sold me. Their were only a few post op pics on the website to view n I was promised good results. I had faith tht she would give me Wht I wanted n I would come bck wit immediate results. That was not the case at all! U live n u learn n through this whole process I blame myself for most of it. The second time around I hope will b btr n I get the results I set out for.

I'm seriously thinkn abt posting a pic so u ladies can understand y I'm unhappy with my results. It's so embarrassing to see ppl tht kno u had this surgery n still have a bulge in ur stomach. My stomach appears to be flat from the font but my side profile is depressing. Not only is my stomach not flat but my bck is the worst!! The rolls are still there n jst to think of all the pain n discomfort I went through with getting my bck done! Smdh!! I think to myself was it really worth it?! I was not being unrealistic wit my desired results so I was looking for a noticeable change. My body did have some improvement after surgery but no where near the results I expected n hoped for. I kno if I had went to a different doc tht had more experience n gave btr results, I would've been much happier. Robles was my first choice whn I started searching DR. I ddnt hear abt Yily n Duran until awhile afterwards. I heard of too many scary CIPLA stories, so neither one of thm doc were an option for me. I'm not sure whn n how I heard of Baez but after contacting her I was sold. U live, u learn n don't dwell on the past. As of right now I'm obsessed wit Durans work n wished I went to her my first time around. I would love for her to finish off this body but I'm not sure abt going bck to DR alone. My buddy has decided to have her round 2 here in the states n I dnt blame her. (Chk out her review lovingb85) Staying in DR for so long was not easy. If it were possible to only stay 3-4 days thn I would consider going bck. I jst cnt see myself repeating this process all over again. It's so frustrating jst thinkn abt having to do this surgery all over again...lipo is no joke!!! The recovery process is even worse n time consuming. I won't be able to get the time off I had my first time around. Idk to do at this point as far as my round 2. I'm going to keep working out n hopefully I'll be happy wit my end results n not have to do the surgery again. I would jst do my BL here in the states.(thts wishful thnkn n tryn to stay positive lol) I have a consultation on 11/25 for a BL, so I'll see how tht goes. Good luck ladies n happy healing to those goin through the healing process. I kno it's rough n I hope u will feel it was all worth it in the end.

This has been such a depressing outcome for me. I really hope everyone tht goes to Baez is happy wit their end result. I do believe over time n wit more patients n experience she will achieve better results. Whn I went in July she was not busy at all, so all of a sudden everyone has heard of her n nowadays she seems to be busy. I went in blindsided and hoped tht she would give me the results I was promised n desired. I was sold by the quick email responses n all questions answered as well. Now I'm realizing most of tht was done bcuz she had a lot of time to go bck n forth with responding to all of my emails.(she ddnt have many patients) As of now, I stopped contacting her after my last email I sent a month ago. In tht email she was not the same doctor I met in July. In my email I expressed my unhappiness with my results and asked for revision date. I also sent her my 3month post op pics as she requested. A week and a half went by and I still ddnt hear from her, mind u my buddy sent her an email around the same time I did n she responded in less thn 5mins.(we were on the phone whn we both sent the email) I asked my buddy to send another email to Baez alittle while afterwards to see if she would get a response. Within a few mins after she sent her email n Baez answered. By this time I was pissed bcuz I knew she had seen my email n reviewed my pics. I'm sure Baez understood y I was unhappy just by viewing my pics. I would've expected my "nice, loving, caring doc" to have offered some type of compassion n offering a date to fix my issues but nope...nothing!! So I sent her an email to blow her ass up n let her know tht I'm aware of my emails being ignored n unanswered due to her responding to other ppl within mins n not responding to my emails at all.(I never mentioned I was talkn abt my buddy, but if she put it all together thn she should've figured it out). A day after I sent tht email, she decides to respond n this [RS bleep] had the nerve to say " I am not try to avoid your email it is just that i am busy and some other patients have been luckier than you but i have a lot of email that i havent been able to answered, i saw your pictures and i know that you will need a round 2 to get rid of the back rolls we have to wait till the six months mark to see what will be the final result of your surgery". (I copied n pasted her exact response). Wht had me mad was "other patients have been luckier thn u"!!! So there u have ladies, I guess some get lucky to get a fast response. It's funny tht a patient expressing their unhappiness wit their results has to be ignored n lucky to get her attention. Now in my opinion, I would've thght if a doctor was passionate n confident abt their work n seen the results tht I have, they would want to address the issue n offer some type solutions to ease the patients mind by not ignoring thm n acting as if ur too busy to respond, meanwhile u responded twice to someone else at the same time my email was sent. She definitely showed me her true colors. I will be doing a round 2 for a BL, BBl, lipo to full bck, abdomen, flanks n thighs. Basically almost all of the surgeries Baez performed needs to be done again...Smdh!! I will not be going bck to her for my revision. I'm greatful for Wht she has done for me while I was in her care n I thanked her tht, but I did not get the results I was promised, so it's time for me to move on n find a doctor to complete the job. I would never talk anyone out of going to her bcuz ur results may be the same as mine. All ppl are different n I'm sure she has patients tht are happy n won't need a round 2. My experience with her was great up until I started expressing my unhappiness. I did have some issues with my drain hole earlier in my healing process n was unable to reach her via email for some assistance. I had to contact someone in DR to reach out to her. Other thn tht I ddnt have no problems with her. I personally think her work will improve with all of the experience she is now getting. My clinic stay was fine n my nurse was wonderful. I hired a nurse to stay with me for the night. She was in the surgery room wit me the whole time n sleep in my recovery room after surgery. Ladies the stories u hear abt on RS are true...u do wake up during surgery. I will tell tht story later n I'm sure some of u will be surprised.
