And so, I am considering my next surgeon. While I would have loved going to Blinski in Miami, I cannot afford the 14k price tag, and that limited to 1 liter because of the tt. But his work is awesome. Therefore, I am almost sold on Dr Tania Medina. I love her work, she posts lots of pics of her girls, and Ive seen post pics of up to several years after surgery, and results are awesome. She also seems to be very careful in her evaulation of patients and does her utmost in keeping her girls safe. Does anyone have any feedback on Medina that you can give me?
I am currently at 159lbs. 34 inch waist, and 41 1/2inch hips. Presurgey i was 17lbs. and my waist was 42
Provider Review
Dr Calva has a great personality, so easy to talk to, and felt so human to me, not just the surgeon! I warmed up to him so easily, we hugged, and he made sure to follow up with me post op. He was very reassuring, and there with me, looking into my eyes as I was put to sleep. He listened to what I wantex, but I also asked him to use his judgement, and boy did he deliver. I have the hourglass that I wanted. ***UPDATE*** Had a BBL done win March 2017. I wont deny, Calva had a very pleasant demeanor with me, kind, attentive. I didnt switch with him even though he had a death the week before my surgery. I really think that he did a great job with the lipo on my torso. Helped give me that hourglass shape, but the BBL work was most definitely not up to par. I went from flat to a donkey butt, but by 8 weeks postop there was a significant change. Swelling subsiding, and much of the fat from the upper half of my cheeks seemed to have melted away. I also had a lump in each cheek. One the left, very noticeable without faja. Sent pics to him, his staff....all he could advise me was to massage it out. Many calls and emails and weeks later, it did not change. I now had a lumpy butt. Not sure which worse, to have nothing, or to feel disfigured>>> Long story short, Calva did not inject from the bottom, onlt the top and middle. I have spoken to other women similar experiences. His solution was to maybe had that lump sucked out,and either have an obvious dent remain or Id need another BBL to fill out my cheeks. The lump was checked by local plastic surgeon, wasnt necrosis just how the fat settled. Calva told me maybe my body wasnt made to have a BBL done. Not sure how he meant it, I wasnt genetically inclined??? I dont know. Calva would correct lump by removing it at no charge if I paid and did TT with him...NO thanks!!!!! I want my butt fixed and loooking normal, been wearing faja almost every day. For if i dont, pointy spot obvious and my butt seems saggy when not lifted by faja. I am so freakin self conscious about it!! Bad enough I dont blame him fully for a personal friend of mine who died 3 days after her BBL with him, nor the other women who passed, for I dont know the full stories of why it occurred. What I do know is this. I think Calva should have owned up to his errors, and if he isnt properly qualified to perform this surgery, he should have abstianed from BBLs earlier. I think he should have referred me to another surgeon, paid from his pocket to give me a revision. To tell me in some ways I must have been at fault. I slept on my back for 4 months, always used booty pillow, wore faja continuously...... and now I regret not paying extra to go to Fisher instead when the first girl died. Instead, I will be paying several thousand again to do a revision and now tt at same time. Along with the recuperation, time off from work, etc.....
