I couldn’t be happier with my results. I’m still swollen in some areas & not 100% but everything went well & im extremely happy that I picked Dr. Garcia. He knows what he’s doing. I didn’t even have to tell him what I wanted. He just worked his magic.
His assistant Diana is so helpful & always available to answer all questions. The nurse that stayed w me the first night was amazing. Her name is Monica & Martha who gave me my daily massages was beyond incredible.
I bought extra massages so I did 2 a day to speed up the recovery. I also got the pain pump which helped me out a lot. Everyone has different side effects but it worked perfectly de me. After the pain pump was done (which takes about 3 days) I attempted to do the massage without any pain meds & It was painful so I recommend taking the pain meds 30 mins - 1 hr before getting your massages.
I stayed at a great apartment so if anyone needs recommendations I will be more than happy to share where i stayed.
I highly recommend Dr. Garcia. His team is outstanding! Even now being back home I’m still able to reach out to his team & they help me w anything I need :)

Final found my doctor!!
A2018AMarch 4, 2018
After months of research, reading various reviews & going through countless photos I finally found my doctor! I’m going with Dr. Héctor Garcia in Medellin. He’s been the most attentive with responses & his quality of work is very impressive. Hogar Carmelita was recommended as a recovery house. I only plan on staying at the RH for the first week & renting an air BnB for the 2nd half of my stay.

June 10, 2018
Hello there! I'm scheduled to go to Dr. Garcia next month as well. Did you pick him as your surgeon too? I'm looking for real experiences to reference.
June 10, 2018
hi, yes I had my surgery 3 weeks ago. everything went well & im happy with my results so far
April 20, 2018
Please keep us updated! I'm scheduled for him in a few months too!
November 11, 2018
Mari!! How did it go? I'm looking at Dr. Garcia as well and I really want to talk to other people who had surgery by him!
November 11, 2018
I love the shape he gave me but my stomach does have irregularities. I did have previous lipo which left me with some irregularities as well o maybe I’m just susceptible to that. Other than that everything was pretty much a good experience. If you DM me your email and I’ll send you some pictures if you’d like to see. I think you will like his work.
November 26, 2019
Hey girl I would love to see your results from Hector Garcia, can you DM me and I’ll send you my email? Looking for honest results I’m booking with him soon

Is there a weight requirement...For example some doctors require you to be 32 BMI.

I’ve started my search 3 weeks ago. I’ve contacted about 15 doctors.
I’ve received quotes from all expect for Dr. Luis Plazas which is very disappointing since he was one of my top 5. I’ve sent numerous message & even called a bunch of times & still no response. Long story short, his team’s customer service and sense of urgency requires some work.
Moving on, looking to get a TT, Breast augmentation & liposculpture. I’ve been quoted between $6,500 - $8,500 from the doctors I have received responses from. At this point I’m doing extensive research on my top picks to make my final decision. I also need to add the cost of recovery house to my quote. I’m looking for quality & affordability
My top picks are ....
Dr. Carlos Guerrero
Dr. William Jimenez
Dr. Harold Villalobos Cardenas
Dr. Leonardo Buritica
Dr. John Garcia
I honestly don’t want to spend anymore than $8000 including additional fees such as fajas, overnight hospital stay, tests etc

Diana is the doctors assistant she recommended me “medtour colombia” recovery apartments. dr. Garcia work closely with them. So youre not with other girls youre by yourself with 24hr nurses They pick you up and drop you off at the airport abd take you to your appointments abd all the good stuff. Its 89 dollars the day. Cristina is one of the owners shes super nice. Its owned by her And her husband. I really like that you dont have to share rooms with other girls because i have read really bad things about getting infections of other patients
March 15, 2018
I can give you her info if you want, i also have pictures of the hospitality they offer
March 15, 2018
oh great. that’s ideally what I want to do. I will look them up. how many days are you staying?
June 10, 2018
I'm curious to know how your surgery went. I'm looking for real experiences with the whole process.
March 15, 2018
Ok awsome! And im staying for 17days . How about you ?
March 16, 2018
Ok and im staying 17 days. How about you ?
March 16, 2018
I arrive to Medellin the 16th. I’m so excited for you. Let’s keep in touch so you can tell me how everything is going since you’re going before me :)
July 15, 2018
I hope you didn’t chose Dr Buritica because he is horrible. I had liposculpture with him. The results are horrible. He is just a good showmaker and has only 2 years experience. I wish I knew that before. Now I’m looking for another surgeon to fix his mess.
February 2, 2021
what happened to you with Dr. Buritica? I was certainly decided by him because I had not seen any bad comments, but now I will think about it. Could you write to my email, I would appreciate it very much. gloriahop3@gmail.com
Do you meet Dr. Mejia too or only by WhatsApp? I saw amazing before and after of Dr. Garcia.
Do you spent the first night at the hospital? What hospital? How much did you pay?
Thanks
