Biopolymers Removal Unsatisfied

ORIGINAL POST

Biopolymers Removal Unsatisfied

I am writing this review because I promised myself I would write a review to help others since many people on this site help me when looking for a surgeon. I have biopolymers removal with Dr. Diaz, 3 years ago. He informed me that I qualified to do a closed surgery. Dr. Diaz has amazing bedside manners and shows compassion and I appreciate that in looking for a surgeon. However, you are looking for a real review so here it goes. The surgery went well and had no complications after. However, the bottom line issue was never resolved. Having a closed surgery did not remove much biolpolymers and frankly it caused the product to migrate and I now have complications that I did not have before. In addition, I had lipo done with ab sketching and he did not do a good job with that. There are area where fats was left and makes it look very unnatural and it is not Aesthetically pleasing. My old stomach was much better and I regret the surgery entirely. I hate my new stomach! I waited to do a review and I think enough time have passed. Please save your money and do your research. Please have an open surgery because closed surgery won’t fix the issue.

Thank you for your honest review. Many people don’t have the courage to state the truth. I’m sorry this happened to you.
Hello would you agree open surgery is the best option to remove biopolymer, I am consider going to Jacome for Vaser Loop remove? Thank you for you time
Hi, An open technique is the only way to go. Liposuction doesn't work! It would spread the product around in your body and make things worse. I had an open technique and it really helped.
Please help me
Yes please do open. You will save money in the long run because you will end up needing an open surgery anyway.
Hi, will the product spread if you do open technique and bbl reconstruction in the same surgery?

Hi, Thank you for sharing this information. I made the same promise to myself to try and help other people suffering with the same problem. An open technique is the only way to go. Even with an open technique you can get a lot of the product removed and the remaining product can act up again years later. It's so important to choose a good doctor. Dr. Diaz has a great reputation but everybody's experience is different. I went to Dr. Torres and he did a great job. My case was a bad one, I had a lot of silicone and my butt became quite huge. If I ever have to go back in the future for whatever reason, he told me that he would only charge me for the operating room and anesthesia. He doesn't want to take advantage of my situation. That said it all to me.....this man is an amazing doctor and he's also an empathetic person. I wish you all the best of luck with things, I understand what your going through, it isn't easy. If you have any questions , please don't hesitate to contact me. I'm at home during this quarantine and have some time that I didn't have before.
Hi. Did your incision open up?
Hi, Yes the incision did open in a few areas along the stitches. My body was draining fluid. It took about one month to fully close. I had a nurse clean the areas and change the bandages daily until it healed. The nurses used some silver stuff in the bandages which helps the wounds to heal better. Apparently it's common to have the wounds open up. It is part of the healing process sometimes.
Hey can i message you
Hello can I message u directly about questions about dr. Torres?
Hi, Yes, you can message me. I will answer your questions.
Hey cute7984, if I was you I would not try and Lipo the silicone out. It’s only going to cause more damage and spread it. I had an open procedure in order to remove it. I went to Dr. gallerani to have this procedure done. Do more research, I wouldn’t want you to regret it later. Good luck!
Hello can you please lead me to the right direction I'm not feeling well
Hi trustworthy, so I can only tell you about my experience. I had silicone injections about 4 years before I started to feel discomfort like pain when I sat for a long time and discolored skin. I came across an IG page of someone by the name of @getbodiedbyj she to has been through similar things like us and is very open about her story. Long story short I found Dr. Gallerani through her and he was the one to do my surgery. Hands down he is very very experienced in what he does. He was by my side through the whole thing and he’s staff Paola and D are amazing. Wait I can’t forget his wife, she to made me feel welcomed, comfortable and that I mattered. I’m 6 months post-op and I feel amazing. Of course I don’t look the same as before but I’m happy I feel healthy and glad I got that poison out of my body. I’ll be happy to answer any questions you have. You can message me at any time.
