Abscess

I was on antibiotics for 2 months and I couldn’t wear a faja or get any massages due to my infection.Dr gomez ignore my messages and so did his staff. I was so afraid since doctors at the state don’t want to touch you cuz they don’t want to be responsible. It took me a while but I did find someone that helped me.

How are you feeling today
I’m still in pain from the surgery haven’t been able to heal completely
That’s absolutely terrible , is he a board certified doctor , think he and his staff need to be struck off , how traumatic for you , hope all is well now
So many bad reviews about this doctor I can’t believe how many are complaining I really thought he was the best in Colombia
it's all smoke and mirrors.
He’s good doctor for famous people but regular girls he does some what sloppy jobs. He also does too many people at a time
Facts! Smoke and mirrors… lies & BS
Thank you
Where did you go . Im looking for someone to help me. I live in texas. I went to Dr. Antun in Miami and he only made it worse. I am in alot of pain
Try Dr. Torres in Colombia.
Dr Antun is the devil, he is the one that injected me oh this silicone 12 years ago. Now I hear he's removing it and ruining more girls lives. He should be jail.
I went to him as well. He made it worse. Now im looking into going to dr nik in ny
Try Dr Carlos Ríos… I’ve had five previous silicone removals two failed ones three partial ones he finally gave me the good ones that I need it and everything looks great and I’m getting reconstruction next month
What were his prices?

Infection

I was feeling a lot of pain and itching on my incision. I went to see a two different doctors today and apparently I caught an infection. I’m so sad I just want to scream. The doctor gave me a combination of antibiotics and tomorrow I have to do a C T scan to see if I’m going to need a emergency surgery. I’m super freaked out, beyond words cuz I really took care of myself and yes I know things happen anyways but I’m still upset that this is happening to me

Oh my.. sending you many prayers! I’ve been keeping up with your posts and I really hope things get better for you! Your recovery has been tough! And expensiveeeee! I could only imagine. Please keep us updated.
Thanks I definitely will
Did you end up needing emergency surgery? Like what did your CT scan look like
What happened w ur CT scan? I pray ur ok
Hope your okay please update us
I was getting treatment but unfortunately the doctor that was treating me got hospitalized. My infection is still in process of recovery but I got Covid-19 making things so much worse. This is a nightmare honestly
Hi. How are you feeling? I hope you are in a much better place.
Yes feeling much better I had a few set backs. After I got sick with the coronavirus I got really really swollen and I was unable to wear any faja my skin hurt like hell and I could barely wear anything but now I’m wearing my faja and my boards for my tummy and my back to give me more definition. My wound is also closed finally can breathe fresh air. I’m putting a lot on scar cream and it’s looking much better
