Searching for the best plastic surgeon in Columbia!
A2018AFebruary 3, 2018
$5,900
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
To be continued...

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!

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.

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 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 :)

Thank you for sharing your experience. Hope you continue recovering well. I will like to learn more about your surgery and recommendations. I am going to Colombia on June 30th, I am between Dr. Mejia and Dr. Garcia but not sure yet. Dr. Mejía had a lot of good reviews here but in Rhinoplasty and BBL. I am a little nervous to go with him after reading a bad review from somebody who had the same surgery that I want to have( lipoabdominoplastia and BA)
Why do you choose Dr. Garcia? Did you have your surgery in Medellin? What kind of surgery do you have? How much do you pay?
Thank you very much

hi there. I had full body lipo, TT & Breast augmentation. I also looked into dr. Mejia but I was more I pressed w dr. Garcia’s work. I had my surgery in Medellin. I stayed at an air bnb since my mom was coming w me. I was thoroughly impressed by his entire teams sense of urgency when it came to any question or concern I had. I’m 3 week’s post op & I’m starting to see my results. I still have a few weeks to be 100% but I’m extremely happy so far
June 10, 2018
I am happy for you. I really appreciate this info. This is exactly the surgery that I want to have. Can you please share some pics? I sent my info and pics but still waiting for his email.
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
