I picked Dr. Romero because the location was close to the US. Surgeons in the US at the time were costing too much. My cousin and I flew to San Diego, where the doctor's office had a driver pick us up from the airport the night prior to operation. The day of the operation Dr Romero came in and asked okay so we are doing a TT on you and I said no, Lipo to flanks with fat transfer to butt. Was my chart not accurate or what? The next thing I remember is waking up during surgery (at the end of the lipo, hearing his voice giving instructions. As I can recall very vividly, when they turned me on my side to do the transfer, I seen a white women performing my surgery. And I remember it being very short after that as if they were rushing because I had awaken. Im not even sure if the correct volume was added. I am sure that his technique at the time did not include centrifuging the fat cells harvested for two reasons. immediately after lipo she injected my butt also because the absorption rate was probably 100%. That night I bled which was usual, however I had ignored the research that suggested to stay for a while, so here we were driving across the border with our driver and the border patrol almost didn't let me take my prescribed medications back with me, because I had not prescription on the pills. Once back on the plan the 5 hour flight was hard but the next week was miserable as my swelling increased so much. I was not wearing a garment, because I hadn't come across that research and I hadn't had any massages. The office called me because something happened with my financial side and I told them that I was in so much pain and swollen. The lady was nice and she suggested pine apple juice and arnica gel. Days later my swelling decreased and I could walk and able to sleep in a bed. As for the outcome of the BBL. 10 years later +3 kids my hourglass did not stay and only get bigger but it disappeared and my BBL butt is flat-Despite all weightlifting regimens to help it. I am not saying he is a bad doctor. I just did not like the harvesting, the other surgeon who was most likely training on me, and the lack of recovery info.
