Happy and grateful to Dr. Gomez

UPDATED FROM luisam23

1 year and a half update

Hi all, so I have been receiving tons of messages asking about my experience with Dr.Gomez as most of y’all are wanting to go see him for removal as well but Are unsure of going and want to know more.
So as much as I thought wether to post this or not, I feel like I have to, same way I spoke so highly of him and his practice a few months back.
So about 2 months ago I started feeling all my old symptoms and even worse, I feel as if my left buttock implant continuously moves around causing me pain and I also have a fist size bump on my left cheek, I have written the doctor and his assistant several times in hopes of him guiding me towards what I can do next and I have had no luck hearing back from neither of them! I have had prior surgeries in Colombia with different doctors, and every time I have tried to reach out to them, they have showed concern and interest in the well being of their patients. Now I am planning to go back for a second surgery to remove the implants and see what is causing these symptoms. Again, I am not bashing anybody’s work as I have admired him for so long, but him ignoring my concerns says a lot about what they really care about in his office and it seems to me their social media is their number one interest, not the actual health and well being of their patients.

Omg. I am sorry to hear you are going through this and also upset on your behalf that Dr. Gomez has not responded to you. This is very vital information and I am appreciative that you came forward and clarified what deep down I thought but was trying to ignore.They are in it for money only. Smh. I unfortunately already sent my deposit. They seem to make sure to go the extra mile for people who have a social media presence as to not face any scrutiny. What a disappointment
Who’s removing your implants? Do u really think it’s the implants or the silicone? I Have an appointment with him coming up and I’m scared.
I Faith20. I reached out to 4 other doctors . 3 in Colombia. 1 here and all 4 said the same thing. They would never put in implants right after a removal. The unknowns of what may happen is just not worth it for them. He told me I would need implants as well even after I said I am not ok with the implant and would rather not have it. Especially since I had consulted with other doctors. But I was hoping when I got there. I would just tell him no. But at this point. I honestly don't know if they will respond to me. Not even their recovery House responded to me and I clearly saw the online message on WhatsApp as I was messaging them. I saw it for Yaritza as well. And still did not respond to me about reconfirm my date so I can book a recovery house
They will response give them some time. I heard they have about 30+ girls out here right now. Their like fully booked. But just keep on messaging them. My friend just got her removal 2 days ago without butt implants. They just used her fat. She looks good. I mean do what’s best for u and go with what u feel. This journey isn’t easy and every doctor works differently.
Got it. But after some of the recent things I have been reading about him. I'm not so confident in going to see him as my surgeon. I have even more doubts now so I decided to just do more research and go with someone else if anything. I probably should have listened to that little voice in my head sooner and not bother to send a deposit since I didn't feel 100% sure of him.
I understand. Always trust ur feelings. I truly wish u the best and pray that we all come out of this beautiful but most importantly HEALTHY!
Thank you so much. I know we will all come out of this fabulous, beautiful and healthy. I am putting it into the universe for everyone of us.
hi, who did you end up using?
thank you. i don´t go whit him after read this...
Gracias por apoyar con tu experiencia
I can tell you right now that that fist size bump you feel is a hematoma and it's infecting the tissue in your body right now as I type if it stay too long it can be deadly I'm sure your but is full of infections and growing yeast you need to go to the hospital and get a cat scan dr Timothy Katzen take insurance I heard you say he expensive but any way I didn't choose him either I went to Dr Gomez as well you should read my review I'm n a hospital now recovering from Dr Gomez malpractice. I guess your complaints is the reason he didn't give me implants and I'm glad he didn't because he not even a good expert in removal let along adding material to a bad situation damn he is really a fuck up he is infatuated with looks not health and we make him think that too so it gives him an Avenue but in reality it's sick and a little booty or no booty is better than death. You actually might be dying and he is doing to you what I figured they would do to me but I after I realized they was fraud I never reached back out to them I'm just here in America and I seeked to handle this issue the right way. Before K Michelle had her emergency surgery the guy she was going too I booked with him but since her story I cancelled did more research and ended up trying Gomez his practice was bull shit I ended up having an emergency surgery still and now K Michelle is in Colombia doing reconstruction with this monster. I tried to warn her because her story saved me once so I figured I'll tell her mines but all she getting is reconstruction The poison has already been removed but I don't think he should even want to touch someone so well known because this is going to be the big breakthrough he looking at it for greed but I think this is going to end his whole practice because he is fixing to get the biggest exposure ever and all the women that he harmed that is in hiding is going to finally speak out. Even tough your story came late I'm not mad about my experience I still had to walk through this door because I was able to obtain knowledge worth knowing and sharing. Cause I wasted a month before coming back home and finally getting the only possible surgery for this situation you wasted a whole year and you still have to get the infection removed you have to go through debreement and you will need a womb vac and then you will be finally recovering in real time if it's done in the hospital it's going to be worse then what Dr. Katzen would have giving you and if it's not too late dr Katzen should be your choice.
So who do you recommend?
You have to do your research each individual view information different and however you choose just pray that God is with you and all will be well. In spite of all I've been through I'm happy to say I'm mentally stable because certain situations can break you and I'm just thankful that I'm content with having my ass reduced that was my mission I wanted to tone down I seeked normality and that's where I'm at and after I'm finish that's where I'll be. Everybody have different ideas in mind of what they want to accomplish after surgery.
Do you have any before and after pics you can share?
I have to do two more surgeries cause I still have a lil bit in still in after that I'm doing fat transfer and that would take a year so my updates won't be until a year later. I'm considering Dr.Gallerani at this time since I already have a scar but I have high hopes I'm doing well and I'm actually excited and grateful for where I'm at now and very confident that all will be well.
Thank you. I'm in the process of booking with Dr. Carlos Torres. I'm choosing him bc he hasn't gotten any negative reviews, his work looks good and he's been doing removal for the last 9 years and has done tons of surgeries that he can't count.
I heard a couple girls complain about him. Have you looked into Dr. Andres Diaz Paz or Dr. Jaime Pachon as well?
Did you end up going to Torres?

Happy and Grateful to Dr. Gomez

I my biopolymer removal/reconstruction with implants on May 2019, I traveled from Houston to Cali, Colombia not knowing exactly what substance was on my body, I had an MRI done while I was there, where Dr. Gomez confirmed I had a very high amount of biopolymers on my butt and lower back, I had surgery on May 7 of this year, and today after 6 months of having my reconstruction surgery I feel that Dr. Gomez was absolutely my best choice, he was able to remove a lot of the substance I had my butt and lower back, I followed his instructions word for word right after surgery and I had a great recovery, not easy for sure, it requires a lot of care and patience and of course time, I still take a lot of precautions, but all of my old symptoms are gone and i feel very happy and grateful to Dr. Gomez and his team. Please message me if anyone would like pictures or if y’all have any questions. Good luck and my best wishes to all going through this terrible thing, that thankfully has a solution thanks to Dr.Gomez and his knowledge.

Thank you for sharing your experience with the community. 

Hello thanks for sharing ur story..I too am considering dr Carlos..what were ur symptoms and could u share ur before and afters plz..
My symptoms were mostly pain and burning while sitting down, I had some mild discoloration as well, but thankfully not too much. He did have to remove more tissue from my right butt cheek, so the implant he used on the right one is a bigger one, but they look even. I’m not sure how to post pictures in here, if anyone can tell me I’ll gladly post them! Thanks
Thx for reply,maybe u could send me before and after pictures in message?? I’m so anxious to get this surgery over with..how long did u stay in Cali? What recovery house u used..what did u do for after care when u got back home? Did u do any other surgery with him?
I’m going in November I’m scared can you inbox me pic he also told me he would do my removal and reconstruction at the same time was it a reason he didn’t do all yours at one time
How much around did you pay?
Around 10k
Hey! Did you get BBL or implant to reconstruct? I want to go see him in about a year. He wants to charge $40 though for a consultation now.
The $40 is worth the pay trust me
Def he, he was very fwd with me
Please pics
