I had my surgery 4 months ago, I’m not seeing it was just not worth it . Yeah he might have taken out the little tiny bit he took out but it’s a hard surgery to go thru but only taking out so small. My butt still looks huge . At first it looked smaller after surgery but now it’s big again . I always felt like he opened me up with the butterfly cut and only took out what he quickly saw on top and just closed up. I went to Dominican Republic to get a tummy tuck with 360 lipo, while there I did an mri . My Butt still extra heavy and still dropped . I wish I would have at least had a more lift especially with that scar. The mri showed I was completely full of it still when I see the before surgery to now it looks like nothing was taken out maybe like 2% was removed. I know it’s already hard to find a doctor to remove this and alot of people after going to Colombia says the same thing, there barely taking anything out .

Same thing happened to me, Letting Dr T do my surgery was the worst mistake i made, he only removed a little bit which was not even worth it, My butt is still hard as ever if not harder, I'm hoping to go to Dr Nik in ny now

Yes it was like going thru that hard recovery for months was the worst and having alot alot of product left

Yes indeed, I feel like most, not all Colombian surgeons are more interested in the aesthetics look rather than removal of all of the product.

I’m feeling good. Walking better , getting off and on bed better. It’s getting easier but still keeping myself ina way where I’m just really careful cause I don’t want no opening. I still doctor on Monday and I’ll be going back home to the U.S that day as well. I don’t know yet how I feel about the removal. I see what he took out but I just feel like I shoulda had way more taken out . I had put in a few times, my butt is still kinda big just looks a little lifted. I do feel like I still have a lot left. I see the doctor on Monday so I will be asking him questions. Ima post pictures of what was taken out and my scar , since I just had the things removed today.

Surgery was Friday . Today is Sunday. This shit really sucks. It’s hard to do stuff even to pee. You gotta walk and even that is annoying cause you just feel so stiff and plus don’t want to mess up the incision. Just want to heal the best possible way. Today I’m taking a shower and had to get my faja washed. I hope it gets better . This is definitely a hard surgery . I couldn’t see much . It was hard . I’m a person that sleep on my stomach and having to be like that at all time is actually so uncomfortable.

Did you ever find out what kind of reconstruction he does? Thats actually my concern. Also how much of the silicone was he able to remove?
April 3, 2022
He’s gave me two bags of it . I don’t know exactly yet. I had surgery Friday so I’ll probably see him Monday . So I’ll know more about how much and all that. The way he reconstructs it’s a bit confusing to me. I know he uses your tissue to do.
April 3, 2022
Hey sis , thanks for the update . And I am praying for a speedy recovery for you. Did he get to tell you exactly how much he removed? I can’t really see your incisions . How where u cut.? Bust of luck to u :)
April 3, 2022
The first few photos are before pictures. The ones with that purple tape is the after, so incision is on top the butterfly. I haven’t seen it yet and probably won’t for like a week. & im not sure how much was removed exactly but will be asking in next appointment. I haven’t seen him since day of surgery.

Do you know how much he removed??
May 11, 2022
I actually have no idea . Ima get an mri soon and see . I do feel like he didn’t remove that much. I feel as if he just removed the top part only
October 12, 2022
I just had surgery with him 6 week ago and I totally agree with you. I also feel like he only removed the top part and the fact that he didn't explain the mri and basically avoided or ignore tge mri questions about where the product was located at and what percentage he took out saying he doesn't want to look at it as a math problem but that he took as much as could. Like seriously? Other surgeons the first thing they go over is the mri and EXPLAIN where is the product and why they have to cut you the way they do. It is such a slow recovery process and very hard surgery mentally physically emotionally for them not to be sincere and actually try to remove as much as they CAN while they already got u all opened p

Yes he never went Over the mri and I see other doctors actually show there patients there mri while they sitting with them going over everything . He did not , he just checks you and do what he do. But to my I feel like he just took off the top and did a tiny lift. After surgery it looked like a tiny lift was done but I think that was just the swelling cause my butt is still super big especially when the swelling went down . When I did the mri in Dominican rep the surgeon there told me it looks like nothing at all was taken out cause I have it everywhere like I was never touched.
