Saggy implants Removed!

I haven’t been in here for a while but I did want to update this and hopefully answer a few Questions about my buttock implant experience.. as I stated in my last entry I was having a lot of problems with my buttock implants that were done by DR. Fuentes. Sometime last year I was blessed with the opportunity to appear on a show called “Botched” and was able to get my implants removed and a Butt life to
Correct the extra stretched skin that was a result of a heavy buttock implant placed OVER the muscle! Yes! The implants were placed over the muscle not in the muscle as I was told they would be by Dr Fuentes. The Doctor who did my surgery didn’t even know what kind of implant was used! He said he believes it is a breast implant but had never seen anything like it! I asked why it was placed over the muscle found out it could have been done that way for several reasons including pure laziness, not enough surgical expertise to place them in the muscle or if the surgeon tries to accommodate the patients desires for a larger implant that doesn’t fit inside the muscle he may do this. Well I’m my case I was very clear that I wanted them in the muscle and would have gladly settled for a smaller anatomically correct Booty than one that looked good for 6 months then dropped in a saggy mess! I will post pics up if what was done to my butt and I am now ready to go to another doctor to get new buttock implants from a specialist!

Buttock Implants in MEXICO!! Ladies Beware!! UPDATE!

It's been a little while since I posted anything on here so here's what's going on.. I discovered a surgeon in my area who has a perfect 5 star rating on real self from 63 patients ( which was quite impressive) and I decided to go to him for a consultation and am pleased beyond belief that I did! His name is Dr. Bhupesh Vasisht at SOUTH SHORE PLASTIC SURGERY, Voorhees NJ. Dr. Vasisht and his staff very so welcoming and professional! As you all know I had my surgery in Mexico and for the most part when I told Doctors or their staff that I went to Tijuana for surgery the gave that sigh of disbelief that anyone could go anywhere other that the United States for surgery and expect anything but a horrible outcome. Needless to say indirectly shaming a patient is NEVER a good feeling and is medically unethical! ! We are already feeling needlessly guilty for making a choice that is not accepted by main stream American society. Anyhow, Dr. Vasisht did NOT in any way make me feel like I committed the ultimate sin by going out of country! He was very kind, non judgemental, and informed me that he sees many patients from all over the world who have had cosmetic procedures, some good, some bad.
Dr. Vasisht info:
He has traveled to many different countries for surgical conferences and has fine tuned his skills by studying other surgeons successes and failures. He is not only a cosmetic surgeon but he is a reconstructive surgeon who treats burn and trauma victims. He works directly with with a huge hospital facility but I don't remember exactly what his position is there but he is the go to guy.. He even works with charities in other countries reconstructing childrens cleft palates. He took his time going over my medical history, my lifestyle, why I was consulting with him and fully and extensively discussed what the positive and negative results or consequences that I may face if I decide to go forward with surgery. I did get my operating note from Dr. Fuentes that stated that my implants were in a sub fascial plane but Dr. Vasisht determined that the implants are OVER the muscle!! He also believes that I may not have a seroma but the GUMMY implant may have ruptured but that will not be definitive until he physically goes in there to see what he is dealing with. Ideally, I would have loved to have these implants removed and replaced immediately to avoid any loose skin but after examination the Dr. determined that it would be within my best interest to remove the implants, give my body a chance to heal itself and then "potentially" move forward with perhaps a buttock lift or the probability of replacing the implants under the muscle (unfortunately I am not a fat transfer candidate). Although the idea of losing everything one shot deal is a bit emotionally distressing I do believe that it will pay off in the end. I did consult with another surgeon previously and even left a deposit for implant removal, replacement, fat transfer to the hips and liposuction all at one time, but after doing some research on buttock implants with simultaneous fat transfer I found that fat transfer is not usually successful because of the blood flow that is interrupted by the implant. So, I had to wonder why this other DR, who is reputable would recommend a procedure that has a very small chance at being successful (which I wasn't told) ..then I got the estimate.. 18,000 dollars!!! NOT INCLUDING ANYTHING ELSE!! Understandable, the medical field is a BUSINESS just like any other!! Some businesses are moral and ethical and others will sell you a new roof knowing all you really need is a patch job, No better way to put it. Anyway, Dr. Vasisht did NOT try to sell me on different procedures. As A matter of fact we discussed the implant removal, I asked him what step two would be and he flat out told me there is no step two! lol There is a step that needs to be successfully completed and healed correctly before anything else can be discussed regarding my Butt! lol I am in the medical field and that is the most honest answer I have ever gotten! Patients with complications are emotionally vulnerable and can usually be sold on unnecessary outrageously priced procedures if they feel that these procedures will make them "Beautiful"! The wolves will take advantage of this! ALWAYS get MORE than one opinion and research EVERY doctors recommendations! Respectfully I will not post the fee quoted to me until I leave my first deposit but his fee for removal and arm lift surgery are FANTASTIC!!!!!!! REALLY!!! He will work with you! I did pay a 100$ consult fee that was not refundable for me because I was going to him as a patient with complications by another Doctor already! But, I do believe if you are going to consult with him that they do ask for a fee that is fully refundable assuming you show up to your scheduled appointment. For all of you who are having complications with cosmetic procedures I can not emphasize enough how extremely difficult it is to find a surgeon who is even willing to discuss someone elses mess!! The legal ramifications that a surgeon could face when rendering care to a patient who is already experiencing problems is not worth the aggravation to them! I feel very blessed that I found a Doctor who feels totally at ease by my situation is not attempting to exploit me and is willing to confidently take me as a patient. Dr. Vasisht also stated that he stands by his work and does not abandon a patient if they experience complications. He said that his patients are a walking talking testimony of his work and in so many words if his patient cant be comfortable and proud how could he be. I am going to go forward with Dr. Vasisht and I feel confident that I am making the best decision! Oh, something that I don't think I mentioned previously is that I lost a little over 100 pounds about 15 years ago and I was left with a lot of loose skin so I had brachioplasty done twice several years ago (the original surgery and a revision) and I was still left with a lot of loose skin on the upper arm and a nasty scar right down the entire inside of my arm. I showed Dr. Vasisht and he informed me that this was the old way of doing an arm lift, it leaves a scar that can spread, as mine did and esthetically the results are not pleasing!! I asked him if he could fix this for me and he has perfected a surgical technique that allows him to aggressively remove the excess skin from the upper most portion of the arm without the horrible bicep scar that I have. I am having this procedure done with him as well. I will post pictures of my arms here as well. Sorry for the long post but I do try to give as much info as possible because it would have been helpful to me and hopefully it is helpful to you.

Dr. Fuentes is a very kind soft spoken man. He has a fantastic bedside manner and didn't try to push me for other surgeries although I requested them he did say I didn't need them. The staff at the recovery boutique are also very kind and professional. If you stay at the facility you will feel babied :) Now as far as his surgical skills.. I cant say..he kept me alive and no infections but not happy with anything he's done so far.
