Colombia or DR? Decisions, decisions ...
it's so hard trying to pick a ps for rd 2. I'm putting it into prayer and hoping to find an answer, but it just doesn't seem to be that clear to me. I'm trying to be patient and knowing that God will lead me the right direction.
I was all for Cabral, and then Duran, then back to Cabral. Then I started looking into Colombia and found 3 really good docs: Villalobos, Henao, and Torijano.
I have ruled out Duran. I spoke with her briefly on whatsapp. She said I don't have enough fat in my abdomen, I asked her more questions and she never responded. Honestly, overall, from the pictures I see, I think Cabral would be better for me anyways.
At one time, I was almost 100% sure that I would go back to fisher. Now I am almost 100% sure that I won't go back to him for reasons I will explain in another blog. I will briefly say that I have assessed his technique not only on myself but on others, and I don't think either he or Hasan is right for me. I hope some don't get offended by this, but I notice that these two ps have better results on ladies who are considerably over their ideal body weight for their respective height. What I mean is, For instance, 5'6 and 190 pounds, or like 5'3 160 pounds ( these stats are not from anyone specific, I just use these stats as description). There are few that are closer to their ideal body weight that have good results, but most of those cases, the ladies started with some butt meat or fat in butt. For anyone who wants to know, before rd 1 I was 163 at a little under 5'9, Ideal body weight for me max is 170. I put on a total 12 pounds for sx.
For round 1, I was just looking to see which ps made a flat booty into a fat booty, not considering the patients' body type/frame vs mine. In hindsight, I do see that I was more impressed by flat to fat on ANY body, not flat to fat on bodies that are similar to mine.
I considered Salama but he requires a long wait and he is pricey. Another plus is that Salama seems like u would get more attention, not like what vanity has become which is more of a factory-type clinic. Also lodging in aventura is pricey. I looked into these things, and after his bbl price and lodging, I would be better off staying in NYC and going to Schulman for $10k. Schulman is good, but $10k for bbl is a no-no for me. I didn't even pay that much for my ba revision.
Cabral has been good to me. At first it was a little shaky, but he has answered my questions, I even spoke to him on the phone one day. I like him despite all his history. but that recent contreras death, although it was NOT cabral's patient, got me afraid to go to DR. I'm not that type of person who thinks ish can't happen to me. I could be just like those ladies, going there believing everything will be well, and unfortunately leave drink a pine box, that ish scars the ish out of me! Last year, a lady from NYC died, now another - it's so close to home. A lot of women from NYC go to dr for sx, and recently, I have been hearing some personal experiences (not from Internet) with Cabral that have been both good and bad so I'm torn. I am literally all set and ready to go as far as money for sx and even time from work. It's overwhelming, lol!
Now with Colombia, I kind of like the fact that at the moment, most ppl are going to dr and Miami for bbl. I feel like I would get more time and attention from ps in Colombia, And not the craziness that comes when docs take on too many appointments etc.
Anyway, good luck to all who are in pursuit of choosing the right ps.

RIP to Contreras patient
a 23 yr old woman from NY died yesterday who had sx with contreras. I read on a post that she died from cardiac arrest and that she was complaining about her breathing. It said too much fat was removed and that a piece of fat traveled to her lung. Looks like there were witnesses who saw her complaining of breathing.
This is really sad, she was so young.

Colombia!!!
I've been so excited since I learned about Colombia. I've found a few docs on IG And since the info on rs is scarce when it comes to Colombia, I thought I'd post some info for those who are interested.
These are the names that seem to be pretty popular:
Alder Henao @alder9303
Leonel Torijano @matisses_cirugiaestetica
Harold Villalobos @drharoldvillalobos
Daniel Correa @dr_correa__whats_0573152197812
So far, my favs are Henao and Torijano.
I will post as I get more info.
Enjoy :)
