ORIGINAL POST

So I am on the hunt for a surgeon for Butt...

Sb978
$9,500
So I am on the hunt for a surgeon for Butt implants and fat grafting around this area ideally. (I don't have much fat but I do have a little). I am travelling to US or Mexico as there is no one is Australia who does butt implants. If anyone else is doing butt implants In June please let me know !

SO I have three options. Dr Ryan Stanton, Dr Eduardo Gongora,or Dr Campos.

I have had only email consults from all three, still yet to do a phone consult with Stanton,.

1) Stanton - Quote - 9500 US for implants only + 3500 for Lipo - No clinic stay included . Pros - really good reviews can't really find a bad word about him, using semi solid implants less risk of ever rupturing. Suppose to be the Butt Expert so less risk associated with him I would say. Cons- I have to wait 3 weeks to have a phone consult with him when I want to book promptly.
2)Gongora - Quote - 9500 US for implants + lipo fat & grafting from thighs, hips/waist/lower back + 5 day stay at clinic with meals and nurse to watch over you. Pros - best value In regards to all the inclusions, pretty good reviews have seen some good results but also a few negative reviews, Really quick responses by Jessica which is a massive bonus she is very good with answering any questions promptly which is making me lean towards Gongora due to price and prompt responses. Cons - He is in mexico, more risk then going with the butt expert Stanton. Prefers cohesive gel implants and recommends these but also said he can use semi solid implants.
3) Campos - Quote 8155, including implants + lipo/fat grafting - Pros Price, have heard good things about him but can't find many reviews of him actually doing butt implants. Cons - really slow responses to email, lack of reviews, no stay included in price

With the above comments in mind I am leaning towards Gongora. I would love to see Stanton however he is really pricey and I'll more then likely be travelling on my own so having a stay in the clinic with a nurse available with Gongora is really appealing.

Other pressing concern is type of implant. Stanton and all other US surgeons I believe use Semi Solid Silcone. These have a lifetime warranty and apparently can't be ruptured. Mexican surgeons such as Gongora prefer Highly cohesive implants over semi solid due to their feel, they claim minimal risk of rupture and that they can also do semi solid if I wanted it but prefer to do cohesive.

Ladies please share any experiences and recommendations with these surgeons?
Also everyone's opinions on Semi solid v cohesive implants.

Look through the butt implants review... Campos has a recent implant review ( within 6 week or so i think) Gongora has a few patient reviews on here. Good luck!

Those are the same surgeons i think i'll be considering also for butt implants. I'd prefer to go for the cohesive implants as they'll be be a lil more softer than semi solid and at the end of the day both implants are specifically made for butt placement. It would be good to perhaps find out the brand of implants each Dr uses to enable you to make a decision also. Keep us updated and all the best!

Definitely go with Ryan Stanton. I am having mine done this summer with him and seems like almost everyone in Mexico get infections and the surgery isn't even that much cheaper. I know a few people who had butt implants in Mexico and they have breast implants in their butts. Dr Stanton designed his own implant that is like the oval and round implant in one so u get a big butt everywhere not just at the bottom or just at the top. I think you would regret getting them done by anyone else.

This is killing me ! Finding it hard to make a decision

So I think Stanton is out of the question - cost is too high to include lipo ontop plus hotel stay.

Gongora - they tell me they can only use cohesive implants not semi solid as they do in the US - this really concerns me, I know a lot of girls have them but are they really safe. He is best value for $$ and I really like the idea of stay at the clinic and have a nurse on hand for first 5 days. I also don't like the idea of going to Mexico.

Another surgeon in the mix. Dr Aslani in Marbella. He was brought to my attention as I have read a few great reviews on him. He uses slimmed brand implants which I think are cohesive gel too, still confirming :( His cost is 6990 euros for implants + lipo which is great but you need to stay in a hotel for 2 weeks which ups the cost. He is a long way away in Europe.. which is a lot longer journey for me from Australia. We have direct flights here to LA so mexico is easy to get too but to get to Marbella spain Im looking at three different flights which will worry me on the journey home.. or it could be a good thing to stop and get off a flight three different times? I don't know.

I really wanted this done in June as it is winter here and I have time off work but if so I need to make a decision fast this is stressful

I have researched the border of Mexico and found a few good doctors like gondora, gaspar, manjarrez. STanton is very pricey :( . Most of my family are from Guadalajara and also found great doctors there. It's much cheaper then the boarder (tourist usually don't want to go too far into Mexico). I found Lazaro Cardenas and Guerrerosantos. They are about two thousand cheaper than Gondora. Im still "interviewing" all doctors, and stil haven't made a decision.

Did you ever have surgery? I heard from a few people that have butt implants in Mexico have breast implants in the butt and a few thousand more dollars to go to stanton is worth it bcuz the infection rate in mexico is high. and to add most of the ps out there only use a spinal Tap, I would never go there. I have friends that have family there and they said no don't go to Mexico for anything like that

All the best with your surgery Dr Gongora looks like he does a good job with Butt implants. I'm hopefully going to him end of the year. Has he told you what shape implant he recommends on you? e.g Oval or round
April 8, 2015
He said they usually always recommend oval as this is more the shape of the average butt, and it also gives hip projection. I have however requested round implants as I just want a perkly round bubble butt and my butt is quiet short in height not long so think round would be better suited to me
April 10, 2015
I also wanted round because I'm curvy already with a wide butt, the only thing is the biggest round implant they have is 360cc and that for my wide butt it's too small so i guess I'll just have to settle with oval 500cc high projection implant. I hope It will stick out how I want because I know round looks good! best of luck dear... Keep us updated
April 10, 2015
You rarely here of surgeons going over 400cc implants of places between muscle . They need to fit Inside the muscle bigger sizes can be accommodated if you go above the muscle

Hi girl, I'll be also travelling from Europe to Góngora around September for butt implants, I want cohesive implants not the solid ones! I believe they feel hard and unnatural, dont want to walk around with a hard butt, I Think Góngora is good. Keep us updated and Best of luck!
April 8, 2015
I actually wanted semi solid ones as I am worried about rupture and longevity of the cohesive ones. But seems like only US surgeons use the solid ones. I am nervous as hell but fingers crossed I don't encounter any complications.
April 10, 2015
I'll be there the 2-16
April 14, 2015
I'm on 8th June :)

April 15, 2015
I'm so nervous actuqlky having second thoughts where r u traveling from I am really worried about a long flight home
April 11, 2015
I am having the same dilemma concerning the shape of implant that would be best for my body. I too have wider hips with a shorter buttocks and concerned with an implant enlarging my hip appearance. Do you have before pics to share? Did Gongora pick the size/shape for you based upon your concerns? I have a phone consult with Stanton this Tuesday and I'm anxious to hear what he has to say after viewing my pics.

Would you let me know how your procedure went i am looking into going to Gongora for a liposuction thank you
