Silicone Removal w/Dr. Gallerani Aventura, Florida Jan. 2020

WORTH IT$19,450
I was just reading all the reviews and the main concern everyone has 1. Price 2. Going out of the country 3. How good your butt will look after silicone removal. I got silicone injections back in 2002 and I just had it removed with Dr. G in Aventura, Florida he's amazing and is not there to take your money consultation is $300 which is deducted if you choose him, 5k deposit to hold date, his staff is amazing they make you feel so comfortable and they are very very sweet, yes he is expensive but he is very very much experienced in doing this type of surgery and he actually removes about 95% of the silicone my fee was 19k that's including the hospital fees (15k plus 4khosp) I highly recommend him. I was really thinking of going to Colombia but going out of the country makes no sense at all in my opinion. After I did my research on Dr. G he's doing about 4-5 surgeries a week with the silicone removal he knows what he's doing, he removed 14lbs my silicone spread to my lower back and hips I stayed one night in the hospital (amazing hospital the staff was just wow) I wasn't in pain it was more discomfort then anything and being unable to sit, always on my belly, I still have the drains, my stitches come out Tuesday (can't wait) and hopefully drains too let's see. I also have to drink 80g of protein shakes daily that's besides my food, my aunt changes my dressings daily and my drains are empty out 3x a day it not easy I suggest you stay at a recovery house or if you stay air bb you cannot come by yourself you def need all the help and support you can get. Yes my butt is healing fine now I have to return for reconstruction in about 6-8months. Besides that I feel great and happy this toxic is out of my body because I was so depressed before. And if you are worry how your butt will look after removal then you're not ready everything is a process I just wanted this out the best way possible and then I will worry about the rest later so please have patience and know that your health comes first.
Please do your research before going anywhere and see before and after pics as well and ask a lot of questions. Also this procedure is NOT cover by insurance :(

Dr G is one of the best silicone removal docs anywhere! I felt no pain after surgery as well. I was just really achy and uncomfortable because you have drains, dressings, foam and the garment on. My scar has flattened and faded really well using silicone strips/Bio- oil consistently. POST-OP CONS: laying on your tummy all day, peeing in a urinal, length of time you're req'd to stay in FL, hotel/Airbnb/Uber cost, Surgery Fees, having to lay on tummy in Uber to get to dr appts, not being able to sit, constipation caused by anesthesia & iron pills, trying to sit on the back of your legs to poop(tmi) while trying to avoid sitting on drains, emptying liquid from jp drains, constantly having to use incentive spirometer to help keep lungs healthy after having anesthesia, depression, numbness of back/butt, scars, learning to accept I have no butt, having to wear butt pads & not being able to sleep. POST-OP PROS: I have my health back!!! I have NO more pain!! The majority of the silicone is out of my body!! ETC... Dr. G is heaven sent! He's caring, thorough, very knowledgeable of removing foreign material by cutting it out. He cut a section of my butt out where the product was. He also take pics and video of the infected area that he cut out while your on the table. He showed me a video of my fat/tissue with silicone balls that he popped. He also showed me how he got the product out of my back. He's amazing! Yes he's expensive, BUT right out of surgery I felt no pain. I took about 6 Motrin800 pills after surgery for discomfort. I will be having recon surgery this summer because my butt at the top is kinda flat. The bottom of my butt is fine though. Hope this helps...

March 15, 2020

March 18, 2020

July 18, 2020

Update: I finally got my last drain removed Friday so happy this is all over because it wasn’t easy at all. Yes my butt looks weird is flat on top but I got a little something on the bottom. Reconstruction will be in July with
Dr. G I wouldn’t go to anyone else. Overall I feel great and very blessed to have found this Doctor. I still have to drink my protein shakes daily until reconstruction and wear the garment with the pink foam for another 4-6wks.

I know! I don't like how Dr. Gallerani butchers people. There are better doctors in Columbia that have way more experience with silicone removal and they don't butcher you....also way cheaper in price! Dr. Gallerani is overrated!

Unless you've had a procedure with this doctor and have a documented problem, then you are setting yourself up for trouble by using slander and defamation against a renowned physician who is tops in his field. I had silicone removal by Dr. Gallerani a year and a half ago and am going back again this Thursday to have removal of more silicone from another part of my body. I saw a plastic surgeon in NY after the first procedure and he couldn't believe what an amazing job Dr. G did given some of the less than perfect silicone removals he's seen from other patients. Dr. Gallerani's work was flawless with me and left my body looking exactly as it was before the silicone which was put in some 20 years ago. He is not overpriced and charges what you would expect from a top drawer surgeon. You need to remember we are a litigious society and false allegations on the internet against somebody can lead to real and expensive problems in the court room. Your statements are vicious and uncalled for, this is a blog where we are here to help each other and not steer people to have to visit other countries which for some reason seems to be your goal.

You are so on point, very well said! I go back end of July for reconstruction with Dr. G wouldn't go any where else so worth it.

I’m thinking about going to Columbia. What Dr do your recommend? I’ve heard of a few that are very good
May 31, 2020
@Staying Strong I didn't go out of the country and def wouldn't so I don't know of any doctors in Colombia. Please be mindful who you go to and do your research best of luck
June 11, 2020
Thank you for sharing. I'm scheduled to see him in January.
July 18, 2020
The sad think is dr Gallerani is quoting from 30000 to 35000k

Yea it’s crazy

I just had my second silicone removal procedure by Dr. G on another body part. His work is pristine and he explains everything to the letter. Plus he has the most compassionate and calm bedside manner of any doctor I've ever seen in my life! A true rarity with doctors.
