This is what i want . No more pain or burning sensations. Im almost 6 weeks post op with Dr. Torres and i still feel sharp pains in my left hip in back of my legs right under my butt idk if i still have product or what. But i guess il find out in a couple months once i do another mri but this time i will do a consultation with gallerani. I would rather pay a high price and have it all out then to have to keep repeating this procedure which is such a slow and hard recovery process

I hear that it’s dangerous in Columbia and the recovery houses are getting robbed with patients being drugged out of bed and stitches coming a loose. Please be careful

Why would you say that… I presume it happened to you personally… or do you work for the opposition?????

How’s your process going
I’m thinking about Dr T
Dr G’s scars look like a shark bite like Dr Katzen…. Could we get an update please

Hi Doll. What technique did Doctor Torres use.?
If any of you need guidance... I battled with this for many years between reconstruction and removal surgeries. I had two reconstructions done in colombia, cheaper and they are experts, believe me, after researching many doctors and hearing horror stories i am finally educated on this topic all the way, its been a learning experience and a process overall. No doctor in the US can compare to how advanced they are in Colombia. Many friends have done it there too. Yes, it can be scary but not if you know which surgeon you are choosing and which recovery houses you choose. I had an amazing experience both times and so did my close friends that went through the same. Inbox me if you need information or have any questions. I will be happy to answer them all.

I'm so sorry to hear that! Did you post a review?
March 2, 2023
Well……
April 10, 2020
I still have to go through reconstruction and my understanding is that he does scar revision too which I'm excited about, but in my case I wasn't really thinking about how it was going to look I just wanted that thing out and done it the right way , I've seen some horrible cases out there after surgery , some have to go through more surgeries so I'm happy with the results

Dr. G did my surgery(Sept 19) as well and I have absolutely no complaints. My main concern was having him CUT out as much of the silicone/material as possible. I knew I'd have a scar/flat butt and didn't mind cause I knew I would need recon. My scar is just like yours. I was supposed to have my post MRI but I had to cancel my flight cause of the pandemic. I'm looking forward to my scar revision/recon (hopefully this summer/fall) but I still haven't chosen a recon doc yet. Dr. G is pricey but I'm so grateful he did my surgery.
April 24, 2020
Give it some time... he did 2 removals on me and I still need another the silicone comes to skin surface after a year or 2 I know I’ve been trying to remove it for 6 years! 4 surgeries later I’m still not complete. Dr Gallerani is over priced and EXTREMELY over rated...
May 19, 2020
I agree with u Girl ! I spoke to the nurse at Dr Gallerani . With that Dr is all about the money . They charge for consultation . They don't care that u have to fly there and pay for a hotel room ! I asked that woman if that consultation fee will go towards the cost if the surgery if I decided to have it done with Dr Gallerani . She said NO !! That was separate . That's when I knew this Dr is all about money he doesn't care if we are in pain and struggling with our savings to have the silicone removed. I dislike that Dr for that horrible greedy attitude . I chose Dr Katzen in Beverly Hills . I still not ready but getting closer to my goal . Dr Gallerani Sucks !!
May 22, 2020
You can't blame Dr Gallerani for your pain, high fees (my consult fee was put toward my surgery), your hotel costs etc. Dr G didn't tell you(& I) to get butt shots. He had nothing to do w/the bad choices we made. Yal think yal are gona come out of major surgery with a cute lil scar and blame the surgeons for everything. Hahaa Wake up and place blame on yourself firstly. He has plenty of people who are satisfied. To say he sucks is a joke! With that said, Dr Katzen seems to do good work and being that he accepts insurance (I think) you should go that route. It'll allow you to save your lil coins. Be blessed!
May 26, 2020
I need this message lol hard truth but you’re right.
May 26, 2020
Dr Gallerani is not greedy. They are right there with you from start to finish. He’s aggressive because it needs to come out and hopefully not go through it again. Silicone whether in your butt, lips, or face is like diving into a bees nest. Most Dr’s don’t like to deal with it because it’s unpredictable. Dr Gallerani’s experience in the US is the best. Sending this type of surgery through insurance is not legal - not for the Doctor or patient. It’s cosmetic. It doesn’t save “coins” it leads to whole another set of problems financially.

I agree 100%
