It took 15 days to clear up the oozinf infection

which left me with an open hole in my abdomen that isn't closing. The dr says it could take 6 months for this hole to close.

Picture of infection

I spent 15 days in the hospital after infection.

Updating some photos after 15 days in the hospital

I had a really bad infection and the wound opened up because the surgeon sewed incorrectly. I was told that the sutures would be dissolvable but they are not. So I had to have the stitches removed some we could not remove because they have grown into my skin. I have a deep hole In my abdomen. Dr. Paredes and Julio from helping hands medical tourism still refuse to give the operative report. The doctor himself refuse to tell us what he did during surgery. The dr did not do butt lift or lipo. He didn't replace my nipple on my left breast completely on top of it all he used regular sutures all non dissolvable which could become an issue if my body rejects them. I was lucky enough to find a local surgeon who agreed to treat the infection and hole in my abdomen. He is going to do a revision so that the hole will heal correctly and to fix the tummy tuck since it was also botched. If you are considering Dr. Paredes or helping hands medical tourism ran by Julio Basaldua, don't do it.

I had surgery with Dr. Alejandro Paredes in Mexicali MX. I used Helping Hands Medical Tourism owner Julio Basaldua and it almost cost me my life.
