WORTH IT
I had illegal injections done almost 8 years ago, not knowing what I'm doing. It was the biggest mistake of my life, the pain and the symptoms I had was horrific. I had to hard time breathing, my hair was falling out, it migrated to my hips, and legs. It was like sitting and laying on sharp rocks. Painful hard, and just a nightmare. I finally decided after all those years so get them removed. I went to Doctor Mir first, and was not impressed more so that they really don't care about you just about money. I searched for a very long time, and found Doctor Rios. I looked in to him for a while and decided to get in contact with them. It took my another 4 months to get everything together.I went to Colombia June 28 and stood there for 4 weeks. I got my biopolymers fully removed. He was great, understanding, very knowledgeable, and just a great overall person. He is very straight forward. I was really scared, but his team, and the clinic , and the recovery house all made me feel so much better. Its now a month since I had surgery and I'm doing pretty good. Since he removed 5.5 pounds of dead and sick tissue and muscle it was a long and very complex surgery. My scar is long but very fine and my healing process is slow but very good. I thank him and his team and santuario for all they did. I can only say good things. It is a life saving surgery not a plastic surgery. I will go back to get my reconstruction surgery in hopefully a 1 year.

Hey hun, Do you have any pictures? And Did you do another MRI or cat scan afterwards to make sure that ALL of it was removed?? Just curious

Hi, I did not get another MRI yet since its been only 2 months since I got it removed. But to be honest I can feel its not there anymore, my pain is gone my breathing his good, my swelling are gone. I feel good, after feeling sick for many years. I do have pictures from my surgery I do t have new pictures, but I'm satisfied, and my scar is super fine, and I held very good. My surgery was complex and hard since it moved everywhere. I'm still in recovery since he had to remove some of my muscles in my hip because they was so infected

Okay thanks so much for the update and sorry for all the questions, but I had breathing problems years after my injections myself and always wondered if it was connected to the butt shots.....What kind of breathing problems did it give you?
September 3, 2021
It was sometimes severe like asthma, sometimes like a cough. I always had to take steroids, in order for me to not have breathing problems. Since my surgery I didn't have any breathing issues at all. I hope it stays like this.

Okay that's awesome other, I hope it stays like that for you too....It seems to me that the butt injections were definitely the cause for it on your end, I am happy it is resolved and you no longer have issues breathing <3

How much did you pay to get them removed?
November 28, 2021
I paid 9K everything ! It depends how much You have and where, I had it kinda everywhere, because it migrated. I still have some in my leg. But overall its around 7 to 8k. Without recovery house.

I’m going to see Dr.Ríos at the end of the month and I have very petite body and I didn’t get so much silicon injected and I’ll be paying 20000 US just for the procedure nothing included
