The Big Day....Dr.Llorente & Results!

$6,000
I came in a hour early as instructed. After going into my chill room and receiving the IV i waited with pictures in hand to meet my doctor. It wasn't long before Dr. Llorente came in and I was ready. I showed him what I wanted I explained and I stood up so that he could mark me. It seemed he understood what I wanted. While he was marking me he assured me that I had enough fat to take out the maximum allowed 4000cc. This made me happy because I had been trying to gain weight for this procedure for a long time.After allowing me to ask other questions I wanted nd needed to ask, he got up and left out, I was ready for surgery!
When I woke up I was facedown on the table with my Faja already placed on me. I wasn't much pain and I was pretty much able to walk on my own. I couldn't wait to see what my body look like. Once back at the house I remember passing a big mirror and feeling like I looked a little small, smaller than I expected. But I was a little out of it from the anesthesia so I just went on to sleep. Once I fully came to I look at myself and my butt looked so tiny. I was very confused and a little disappointed. I remember thinking out loud 'if my butt looks this small with swelling it can't be much after'. I couldn't wait till 11a.m the next day to go to my post-op and find out what exactly Dr. Llorente had done.
When I got to my postop I was greeted by Dr. Ortega, who was not my doctor...I asked him where my surgeon was he told me he was not working that day but he would conduct the follow up. He had no information on my procedure,no notes from my doctor, didn't even ask me to take my garment off, and it all upset me because I needed answers. I asked what was the point of me coming in for postop if I cant get any information on the surgery that I had gotten from my doctor. I told him I needed to speak with my doctor! An appointment was set for me to meet with Dr.Llorente the upcoming Monday but somehow after my caretaker spoke with Dr. Ortega I was told to come back tht day at 2pm.
I arrived bck at the office at 2 nd waited for the Dr. He came in and asked me wht was up after letting me know tht he was just there for paperwork and he doesn't usually see patients on tht day. I asked him to give me details on wht it is he did exactly. He told me he was able to get the full 4000cc but tht he only put 900cc on each side. I was furious!!! I had specifically gained all that weight just for my surgery be cuz I wanted as much ass as possible. I asked him why didn't he use it all or at least use more, enough to give me the volume and projection we talked about. He tells me thts all tht would fit which I find to be [RS bleep]!! I've seen ppl way smaller than me get 1200-1300+cc put in. He then says 'well Yu already had a nice butt, I just enhanced it a bit' and I replied 'I did not come here for a nice enhanced butt, I came here for a FAT ASS!' I was so hurt, and nothing could be done. The fat was gone....trashed :/ He kept with the whole fat wouldn't fit thing and I was so over the whole experience. Once I left I was down for a while but it was no point in crying.
Whn I got to my appointment on Monday he checked everything out said it was all healing nice. I took tht opportunity to ask him about a round 2. He told me I should wait at least 6mnths before thinking about a revision.... Which is wht I will do, but I kno wht I want and this is not it! I'm just wondering now how and where I'm gonna gain fat since I had the lipo. After we finished talking he sent a nurse in to remove my stitches (which hurt like a &!$?*).
Overall, Dr. Llorente was nice and did nice work, but he did not do wht we discussed. Don't get me wrong, My body looks good but it's just not wht I wanted. And I feel like this surgery was for nothing especially because wht I wanted was very very obtainable.
P.S. Whn I arrived home I realized tht they had left stitches in not 1 but 2places. (My back and under my left breast) I had my mom remove the ones frm my back and I removed the ones frm my breast (after my mom found it too difficult nd nauseating since the knot was now under new growing skin).

Happy you made it home and I hope you're adjusting to the new you, unfortunate for the hiccups, but you look great.
Thank yu:) Ur up Next!!!!!
Soon....
Sorry your not happy with the outcome. I do see a difference in your shape though.
You look good girl don't stress it.
If you do decide to move forward with round 2, Assure its with a surgeon that specializes in aggressive lipo
Hey beauty, thank you for your kind words. I guess I don't really see the difference because this is how I looked before I started to gain all the weight. But I have a new doc in mind, it's just the waiting to fully heal process thts getting me. Thnks again!
Omg.....this is horrible. But glad you okay sometimes these doctors do what they feel like it for a rush job to get you out. I know we very egurd to get this done and we believe anyone can do the job. Unfortunately you didn't get what you want but you look great work on round 2 and good luck with it all.
I agree beauty, I do feel like this was a rush job unfortunately for me. In time (and with a new doc) I will be happy, thank Yu for checking on me :)
You look great!
Oh my! That sucks you had to go through that too. I wish I could have been as mad as you, to say something in a direct way, lol. I meet with my doc for my 3 week post op visit and will try to ask her WTH happened? I'll take some of your confidence k?
Hey, sry ur going thru it. Have yu met with ur doc yet?

My* Experience With CG Cosmetics

*The following review/statements on CG are my personal experience and opinions*

I found CG while searching the internet for Miami surgeons. When I found the website and saw the "deals" . I gave them a call and after sending pics and info about myself I was assigned to Catherine as my coordinator. Catherine was very good at contacting me and getting back to me. She was not so good at providing detailed information on certain questions I had, everything was always sounded like the general response. For example: What type of compression garments do you use?.... The garments we have are really nice they are tight and the doctor recommends you get it here at the office for $160. Another issue I had was after I made my final payment she did not return any of my calls. Even when I had the issue of them misplacing my bloodwrk and telling me they never received it. I ended up pretty much solving that issue. Tho after I was told I was all set for surgery I receive a phone call the EVENING before saying my glucose was high and I needed new bloodwrk. And right when I thought it couldn't get any worse, at my pre-op the DAY BEFORE surgery I'm told that my doctor would not be Dr.Hunsaker but Dr.Llorente. Something that my coordinator knew but never informed me of. I was also told that I would not meet him until 1hr before my surgery. What could I say?...I'd paid all this money, traveled down there, paid a crap ton of money to stay at Keylas and I was not about to forfeit anything. So after I had a panic attack or three and had some friends check out Dr.Llorente I was at ease with the change. That evening I was given my surgery time for 10a.m....a couple hours later I was contacted and told my time had changed to 5p.m! Overall the ladies in CG are very pleasant :) but I was not happy with the lack of communication I received throughout the process.
