Disappointed but not deterred

Well, it's approaching 7 months since my surgery. Unfortunately, my results haven't improved. My sides are still noticeably uneven & I'm unhappy with the shape of my ass. I did achieve some projection but my ass is now wider than it was pre-op. However, I am happy that I did have a tummy tuck. My incision is low & healed well. I still experience swelling & numbness but I do get relief from my daily wear of my "faja". I've decided to have a revision but will not be returning to Dr. Goico.
I've learned many lessons during this journey. Main one being that not every surgeon is for everybody. I had done extensive research prior to choosing Dr. Goico & will do the same for my future surgeon. I was disappointed with the response that I recieved from him when he learned of my review & the overall satisfaction rating I gave him but with the support I recieved from this community & IG, I moved on. I definitely recommend following up with groups such as IG, Facebook & any other social media surgery group on the Dr you're interested in. It can be a wealth of information & insight on various surgeons. Nonetheless, it has been a learning experience & now I will go back to the drawing board while continuing to eat well & exercise. It has definitely been a life changing experience. I strive to give an honest & objective review but keep in mind it is my review & we all will have different experiences.

Patience is a virtue

I am 3 months post op & already planning a round 2. Although I am extremely happy not to have a fupa, I am not satisfied with my results thus far. My sides are uneven which seem indicative to me that one side recieved more aggressive lipo than the other. Dr Goico was able to give me some projection but the shape I desired is still lacking. I was initially happy with my hips but it seems that the side that had the infection went down some. Overall, I find that he excels with slimmer patients. Plus size females should consider other options. I did inform him of my concerns & he advised me to be patient & give it more time since its only been 3 months. Because of his excellent work with breasts, I considered returning to him & he agreed to do any revisions necessary if these were still outstanding concerns for me. I still think he is a competent surgeon & his bedside manner & professionalism make him a great find. However, I've learned from my research & experience that every surgeon has their strengths & weaknesses. For example, if you're looking for a large booty...then Cabral is your man. While Yily is known for her plus size makeovers. Point is...do your research!

I chose Dr Goico because of his training & personable manner. Prior to my surgery, I reviewed his work & personally went in for a consultation. It's important to note that everyone's results will be different. However, he does not excel with larger patients based on my experience or ones that I have learned of thru contact on RS & IG. He does well with slimmer patients. Based on my results, I will need revision work due to the unevenness of the lipo & poorly shaped bbl. (I will post pics at my 6th month mark) Although he offered to do my revision for free, I do not feel confident that he will be able to do the job & i don't want to risk another botched job or infection. Once I returned home, there was a delay in responses & i feel as if he has minimized the imperfections of his work. I don't harbor any ill will but my thoughts of considering to return to him for additional work is null & void. He's a good man but is still in need of more experience. There are other women who have had similar experiences with him but because of his nature do not want to give him a negative review. I hope they reconsider since the purpose of this forum is to be able to be clear & truthful for the next person's journey in their decision making process. We all work hard to save for the expenses that this journey entails.
