BBL with Dr Llorente - Miami, FL

This is my new review since I changed surgeon. My original plan was to go to DR but my family got all cray-cray one month before ( my husband told them) so after a family intervention, I was left to find a surgeon in the USA. I was so upset because I spent over a year doing my research and the thought of staring all over was upsetting because I wanted to do it this summer. I did my research on this amazing site along IG I was able to find few doctors that my husband did approve : Dr Hanabergh, and Dr Llorente. I was so excited to see that they had a package for out of town folks that would include recovery house.
After reviewing reviews and his IG I chose to send a inquiry to Dr Llorente at New Life Plastic office follow by my husband who wanted the make sure that I was going to be safe. To my husband , his big issue was that I was going alone so when looking for plastic surgeon the after care or recovery house was as important as the surgeon itself. After sending my pictures with what procedures I was wanted done, I was contacted by a wonderful coordinator named Elina. She was so awesome to call my husband as well .The only set back was that Elina informed that Dr Llorente doesn't do BBL and BL at the same time so it was a bit of a compromise because my heat was set to have my breast done at the same time. But I guess I understand his reason. Any who, my husband paid the $500 deposit and I got my day set for July 19th. All this happened in May so I have 2 months to get ready: got my 2 weeks vacation at work approved and I also got my ticket.
As the time approach, things got a bit bumpy. 3 weeks before my dates my surgical assistant quit but Elina as a superhero coordinator took care of everything. I was so nervous because I hear so many stories about clinics in Miami that your deposit and they don't return your calls. But this was not the case!! My coordinator Elina texed me and my husband lol! almost everyday to make sure that everything was in check. In fact, right after Elina got my hemo results (which was 11.2) called me to let me know and advised me to take floridex and iron and to get retest in one week. As you can imagine I was devastated with this bad news almost 2 weeks before my date!! I can't thank enough Elina for her support!!! After taking the supplements for almost one week, my hemo is 12.6 yay!! I cried! I know that everything happens for a reason but I had my heart set to do it this summer since I had to gained 15 pounds to have enough fat for the graft! Ugh!!
I am packing now as I am writing this review. I can't wait!!

My fight was early this morning. I couldn't sleep at all. I left home at 6 am and i arrived to Miami airport at 9 ish and Anita's daughter was there waiting for me to take me to the clinic. I am glad that I made it there early to the clinic because like Elina warmed they are busy. But I didn't have to wait long before Jennifer took care of my pre-op pictures and consent forms. Shortly after I met with Dr. Llorente at one of his rooms for a evaluation. Like others mention before about dr Llorente, he is not one to over promise you something that is unrealistic. He is polite and strait forward. I told him what I wanted and he listened follow by a detailed and smart remarks that made me feel at ease: I know that I am in good hands! Right after his evaluation I went to take care my balance and I was taken to the recovery house around 12ish. I can't not tell how excited and nervous I am. Surgery is tomorrow at 10; God is good!!

After not sleeping I went to surgery at 10. Right now still in some pain so later I will detail my journey.
