WORTH IT

Dr Juan Diego mejia deserves 10+ stars. I am From USA and was searching to have a tummy tuck. I was 200 lbs when pregnant. I’m Currently 125lbs. I had a lot of skin and stretch marks. I needed an expert ! Dr Juan Diego was referred to my sister from dr Gongora. She referred to me and I referred to my mother in law. My mother in law was the first to operate with him. She underwent a breast lift. Her surgery, recovery, and results were phenomenal. Dr Juan Diego’s attention and expertise exceeded expectations. From the moment I contacted dr juan Diego about having a tummy tuck his response was quick and honest. He answered all my concerns. At first I was attempting to having a mini tummy tuck but at the consult he suggested I was a candidate for a full tummy and with all my trust in him and his team I followed his guidance. I underwent a full tummy tuck with lipo in my back and inner & outer thighs and fat injection into Glutes. All appointments were scheduled accordingly. His assistant is amazing. From covid test to anesthesiologist to insurance and blood work. Everything was perfect. 

The day of the surgery I was well taken care of. The hospital staff were extremely helpful and polite. They catered to all my needs. When I woke up from surgery, I felt great. I had no pain, no nausea, no dizziness, only shaking a bit which they medicated me. I was able to hydrate without issues. I stayed one night in the hospital. Being pescatarian, they accommodated me without fail. All the staff took very great care of me. I was able to walk and use the bathroom easily. The nurses were surprised. 

I had no pain only my stomach felt tight. I even asked if it was an obligation to take pain medicine of how great I felt. I left the next day to our apartment. The hospital did not let me leave without eating and without my nurse. My amazing nurse BERTA I wish I had spent more time with her she was such a pleasure but I felt so great I only needed her the first night home and to shower 2 times after. She was a sweetheart and extremely attentive. 

As soon as I arrived home everything was scheduled for the pain pump nurse to visit me. The pain pump is optional but recommended. I had it for 6 days. It’s a portable IV that drips pain medicine into you. You get this little Black purse with it inside. Juliana was the pain pump nurse who was so great and lovely. She checked in on us every other day in person. Dr juan Diego advised I start massages immediately, which I did. MariLuz is the drs masseuse. She was sweet, knowledgeable, and experienced. Her massages lasted over an hour every time. She always checked my incision and belly button. She really went above and beyond. 

After the first week I began with 2 massages a day. I left Colombia with 20 massages. My inflammation went down to 30% ! I felt great. By the 3rd day post op I was already walking at the mall. I was extremely happy and satisfied with my procedure, results, drs skill and organization, and his team. My scar is as thin as the wrinkles on your palm. He also made the scar very low that I will be able to wear bikinis without problem. 

He Is truly an artist and like any successful business has a team as bright as him. I have recommended dr juan Diego to 5 more people who plan to operate within the next 8-10 months. I also plan to return next year for a breast lift. I trust him with my eyes closed. I’m so grateful to have found a surgeon like him. Btw my mother in law operated again with me the same day (glute implants) and she also had a great recovery with little pain and amazing results. Thanks dr! See ya soon I will continue to upload photos as I recover

I’m feeling great. Been driving since last week. I’m regaining the feeling in my skin. My abs feel super tight. There’s still a lot of swelling but I’ve gotten a lot better. I’m starting to see the etching marks. I’m drinking a lot of water, pineapple juice, and cucumber with lime juice. My Glutes are more shaped. I finally have projection. My incision is marvelous!!! It’s as thin as the wrinkles on my hand and I’m only 3 weeks post op. I’m very satisfied with my results and recovery so far and am
Eager to see myself within the next couple months.
