Medellin is a beautiful city. I rent an apartment...

livlvDecember 24, 2016

WORTH IT$4,774

Medellin is a beautiful city. I rent an apartment hotel which is 10 steps away from Carulla super market and 2 mins away from Santafe mall ( Affinity aparta hotel ). This hotel has a nice kitchen and beautiful view. I saw Dr Mejia on 20th and scheduled my surgery on the 21st. Dr Mejia speaks perfect English and he knows what you're looking for after the 1st meet up. He's answering all the questions and concerns through what'sapp before and after the procedure. My surgery went very well and a nurse came home with me on the same night. I forgot to mention that I got 590cc implants (cohesive gel) and it's been more than 72hrs since my buccal fat pad removal procedure and I'm not in pain at all. I got 3 massages done with Mary Luz so far and the drainage removal feels amazing (I believe I need 10 massages ). I'm up walking, eating normally and cooking my own meals.

Congratulation on your surgery! Does Mary, the massage therapist come to you at the apartment? Also, can you tell me who to contact about renting the apartment? Did you hire a nurse?

I didn't reply to your comment instead I wrote a new comment :D

Thanks taffy* , Yes Mary Luz comes to my apartment everyday after the surgery. I rent this apartment , booked my flight etc. through Expedia. The only thing you shouldn't include in your package is the transportation. Taxi in Medellin is the cheapest thing. I'm so serious, it would cost you 75,000p ( 40$) to get to the hotel. I take taxi to see Dr Mejia , its approximately 5mins away ( cost 5,000p - 2.5$ ). The nurse came home with me on the same night. She does everything including cooking, really everything :). I hired her for extra 1 day ( 120,000p -60$ )

Did Dr Meija hire the nurse for you or did you have to hire her yourself?

The apartment..I am looking for one..but the maps on google confuse me,so which apartnet was it you hired, was it close to the clinic?This would help me so much. I go to Colombia on 27th Jan

Like the results u look amazing , I contacted your doctor he mention if u had prior lipo procedure or tummy tuck , that I don't qualify for surgery with him was interested in the BBL. would u know if this true ? Does he prefer women of a certain age, i.e. Younger than 50 y/o ? Thank u for sharing .

Hi sweetwife1, I'm not sure about that...he does all different kind of procedures not only interested in BBL hon and his patients are all different ages. :)

You look great. Was the nurse 60.00 dollars a day in US A money? What did the massage cost?

livlv

December 29, 2016

Hi 707 tnt. It's 60 Canadian for the nurse. The message cost about 50,000p (25$ Canadian ) :)

Hi,Dr M said to me in email that he knows a nurse I can hire.. What I want to know is where did you hire your apartment and how far is it from the Clinic? Thanks

livlv

I booked my flight and my apartment through Expedia. But they speak English at the reception , I think you can book through them as well! This is the hotel website: http://www.hotelesdemedellin.com/ This apartment located 2 blocks away from the Dr office hon, taxi cost 5,000p (2.5$ Canadian ) . He send a nurse to your hotel on the same night for free ( 1 night ) and you can hire the same nurse :)

I saw Dr Mejia twice and today is my last appointment with him. He removed all the stitches. I was prepared so I bought the "scaraway" and ready to apply it after. I seem to having a lot of bruises after the lipo.

Do you see a big difference with the fat transfer?

livlv

December 28, 2016

I would say Yes for now ( big different, he deposited all the fat from lipo to my butt) , the Dr told me it would stay and I would not , I'll post some pictures after 2-3 months.

December 28, 2016

Hi A. 604 Thanks :) I don't want to post any pictures with my face on RS :( But I will try , all I can say now is I'm in love with the result, after swelling went down , more slim

Realwhereitmatters

December 30, 2016

I get that. That's awesome you like the result already. If you find a way to blur your face that would be great. Snapchat you can scribble around. I am considering having it done too. I see him in feb for butt. Lol
