Hi everyone, I have read so many helpful reviews so I will be posting my own journey to help others in research of breast implants.
I have chosen Dr. Juan Diego Mejia, as he has many happy international patients, his before and after photos for breast implants look great and the look I am going for is something he seems to get right.
I have always had 32AA/32A sized breast, and most of the time I cannot buy a bra without that dreaded gap on the top of my breasts.
Dr. Mejia only uses gummybear textured round implants, so choices are limited, but I think for long-term outcome, this is the best implant and less possibility for rupture/CC/and other complications.
I do not know my size yet, I will try on the sizers before choosing. But I am hoping to be a Full C cup, or a small D by the time this is done. From my research, the volume that women my size and stats are going for is between 250cc and 350cc. I am not wanting to go too big, I want a natural sexy look.
I have background in nursing in the veterinary medical industry and I do a lot of anesthesia for dogs and cats, so my knowledge may be a double edged sword. I may have some questions or include some details that some of you may think are a little intense or technical, but could still be helpful to others. It definitely makes me paranoid because of the all the complications I've experienced when doing anesthesia.
I have prepped myself by avoiding the foods and supplements that have potential for causing issues for clotting. I have some straws packed (difficulty lifting cups), laxative tea and pills, granola bars, tea to drink, vitamin E cream and Argan Oil for the scar, some baby wipes to clean myself. I have chosen a front-zip sports bra, and a back clasping sports bra, and a couple bralettes for the healing phase. I have picked up some nipple pasties for the nipple sensitivity. I have taken 4 weeks off work because lifting and restraining large dogs and cats can be quite physically intense, so I am giving myself 4 full weeks to heal.
I have hired a nurse named Lorena - I have heard great things about her from here so I have commissioned her for the first day/night and following day. She is 100USD per 24 hours, which I find to be reasonable considering how needy I know I am going to be. I will be going to Colombia with my boyfriend who is from Medellin, so he will care for me afterwards and his family will also be there to assist. I am hiring a nurse because my pride and anxiety will make me feel very guilty to be so dependent on other people, especially my boyfriends family. I'd rather someone be there for the purpose of easing my anxiety and taking care of me so I don't feel so bad. Plus me being a nurse, I may also have some questions and requests that I would be uncomfortable asking my boyfriend or his family (Hi can you put this laxative up my butt? Thanks! Haha NO THANK YOU!)

Consultation

Ok so today was the consultation, bloodwork, and meeting with the anesthesiologist.
The office is nice, his reception is nice, most of the things you need are in English. His English is perfect so communication was clear and he went through my photos of my wish boobs and seemed pretty understanding of what I wanted.
Trying on sizers was fun, they were a bit droopy on me because I am so tiny and my bra wasn't very tight, but the sizers helped SO much in deciding a size. The only down side I would say is that there is only one kind of implant you can choose from that he uses: Gummy bear, cohesive, high profile round implants. I would have liked a little more options BUT what he had was mostly what I wanted anyway, based on my frame and my body type.
I asked for a nice side-boob, and that my boobs face forward and not fall to the side. I asked for cleavage. He said my breasts seem easy to work with so he can achieve my look. I want NATURAL BUT SEXY. Not too big, but just big enough to make people wonder, are those real? I do not want a high circular breast at my chest, but a natural anatomical slope downward.
I will include the photos of the sizers and wish boobs from my phone in a second post - they wont download on my laptop.
If you don't speak Spanish, you will definitely need some help because the clinic staff only speak Spanish. The doctor and the particular anesthesiologist I met with spoke English, but everyone else doesn't. My spouse is Colombian so I had someone to help me, but I'd recommend hiring a nurse, because you need someone to take you to and from appointments and surgery. I am hiring a nurse for my first day and overnight because I know I am needy.
They include 1 surgical bra in your surgery price, and you can buy additional ones for like $20 USD, so wait until you come here to purchase them. Also, you can buy special boobie ice packs, which I think I will tell my boyfriend to buy for me because they look super comfy.
TOMORROW IS THE BIG DAY. Wish me luck :)

did u put a deposit down in his Bank of America account? I’m just trying to make sure the person is legit before I deposit my money

Yes I did to book the OR. The only reason why you should do this is when you are positive that you want him to be your surgeon. I would have liked to have met him first but I didn't have the luxury of flying down and meeting him previously. But I liked his look and aesthetic so I was pretty sure I wanted him to be my surgeon. I did however tell myself that if something seemed off or I didn't like him, that I was willing to part with the ~$600 and find another surgeon. A few hundred bucks is not worth feeling like your life and beauty is in the hands of someone you don't like or don't trust.

Wow your breast look great! What wonderful work he has done. Cohesive gel is what I wold want as well, but he only does high profile for everyone? I would personally want a medium profile probably so the fact he only offers one option is a bit disappointing if that’s the case. And surprising

Yes he only does high profile. I guess it depends on your figure, but high profile looked good on me because I had a petite and thin frame. If I was bigger I could accommodate a moderate profile, and if I had some breast tissue to start with.

The cost of the surgery was $6,500,000 Colombian Pesos (which is about $2700-$3000 depending on the exchange rate), and also I paid about $300 for lab work, medications post-operatively, and for my ice packs from Fajate, and $200USD ($300 Canadian) for a private nurse the first 2 days after surgery.
My flight was about $900 there and back, with a 1 day stop over in Panama which used $150 for a hotel overnight on the way back home. So all in all, the cost of this surgery to my wallet was about $4500 Canadian.
I used her again this past January for my rhinoplasty and she was fantastic as usual! Her email is: lromerito.05@gmail.com
