Breast Lift with Implant Revision Required

WORTH IT$4,200
The picture below is exactly what I wanted my breast lift with implants to look like. Unfortunately that was not what I received from Dr. Mejia, I'm not upset because it was an improvement from where I started. However it was not what I asked him to do. Now I'm seeking another surgeon to do the job right, and this time I need exactly what I ask for or else I'm not going through with any surgery again. It's a lot of pain to endure especially when the doctor does not give you what you wanted.

Safe healing your girls look good.
I don't understand why it says "worth it" ? I don't feel like the doctor is doing quality work. Definitely not even close to your wish pic.

hows recovery
hows the bbl looking. im so excited to be a Mejia doll
After my consultation with Dr. Mejia I decide to ONLY have a breast lift with implants, and liposuction of my armpits, chin, and jawline. Full body liposuction with fat transfer to my hips and buttocks is put on hold until October. Recovery is coming along
may i ask the reason for the wait
I chose to wait and do my procedures in stages because I think it's best to allow myself the opportunity to heal. More importantly I want Dr. Mejia to be able to liposuction as much fat out as he can for my bbl. Being that he did my breast he wouldn't be able to spend extensive time on my bbl & lipo due to the fact that he limits his surgeries 5 - 6 hour's maximum due to health risks. Let's just say this was the best option for me at the time. It may not be right for everyone as we all have different body types & lower pain tolerance level. Once I have my bbl I don't want to sit nor lay on it for the next 6 - 8 weeks without the use of my bbl pillow under my thighs to relieve any pressure off my buttocks.
Got it. Thats why I chose him he looks out for whats best for his patients
Exactly that's what all patient should want, however that's not always the case! While my sister's and I were in DR, there were a few deaths, and may infections cases that could have been avoided had (their) surgeon's been more concerned with the patient's health as opposed to their greed for money smh. Please keep in mind if Dr. Mejia tells you that he's not willing to do something that you ask of him it's because it's not worth the risk. Hear me out 9 times out of 10 is because he has your well-being at heart not to mention his medical license at risk. After all your there to enhance your natural beauty, not kill yourself for the sake of looking beautiful in a coffin.
Preach
I want everyone to be mindful as to your request. Please try to be realistic within your request. Don't ask the doctor to make you look like Buffie the body if you look like
Lady's don't ask the doctor to make you look like "Buffie the Body" when you look like Oprah Winfrey because it's physically impossible. The doctor can & will enhance your natural beauty.
so true thanks for your honest and kind reply
How do the implants feel under the muscles? You look amazing.
Thank you! At first the implants made me feel as if my chest was caving in due to the amount of pressure placed on my chest smh. However it's been 2 weeks now, and I'm feeling much better. They still haven't dropped as yet, but I no longer feel the pressure obstructing my breathing. My body is conforming to the implants nicely. Dr. Mejia did an impeccable job on my breast lift with implants.
You are exactly right. Everyone's body structure is different and surgeons aren't miracle workers
your doctor sounds great!! so glad to know your surgery came out as u wanted! but u mentioned deaths and infections??? are u talking about this month?? do u have any deteils about this?
While I was in the Dominican Republic staying at the New Life Recovery House there were talks of several other patients dying from complications during surgery. There were several cases of infections as well that I think could have been avoided had the surgeon been more attentive smh. Thank god Dr. Mejia is more concerned about my well-being then money! If he felt I didn't need a procedure done, he would tell me that he will not take my money because he doesn't think I need a certain procedure. I respect him a great deal just based off the priceless advice that he has given me. Not to mention for the FABULOUS job he did on my breast! We LOVE you Dr. Luis Mejia go Team Mejia!!!

Are you going to post some pics of before and after? Thanks :-)
Yes I will post some after pictures once my doctor unveil my breast on Monday March 14th.
Great! Can't wait to see your results!
congrats
Thank you!
Dr. Mejia is the truth! Is bedside manner is on point, he is very professional. Most importantly he cares about his patients well being above all else. I'm already planning my second trip back to the Dominican Republic in October for my full body liposuction with fat transfer to my hips and bbl
Will you post pics
Yes I will be posting pictures for you all after my doctor removes the bandages. I would have posted before pictures of the Wi-Fi wasn't down at the New Lift Recovery House I'm staying at now.
