Plastic Surgery in Colombia

I'm going to be in Bogota for three weeks this summer to see some friends again and I'm considering getting liposuction done. I wouldn't need much done at all as I'm not even close to being overweight. I just have a bit too much mid-section fat and my abs don't show through. I want my abs and hip bones to look better. I figure that getting a quick liposuction surgery done in Colombia would be an easy way to get this.

I don't want people to try to talk me out of this. I can make my own decisions.

I'm just looking for good information on clinics. I have a place to stay and I know my way around the city etc etc. I just need a good doctor that I can get in touch with and start talking about the surgery.

Thanks

don`t try to go chip, and make sure, listen well, make sure you don`t suffer from hypothermia after the surgery, my dear friend had the same you are talking about, and she almost broke her teeth from shaking so much from hypothermia right after the surgery, it was not a very pleasant experience, other than that she looks great.

This was done at Clinica Medellin.

ducati.............you asked that no one talk you out of this, so please forgive me in advance.

i had lipo and a tummy tuck here in bogota and i almost died. i had a policy with american express to fly me out of here if anything went wrong and i would have used it if they didn't take my phone from me.

i don't know how tall you are, but how much are they going to take out, 5 kilos?

that's not going to change you that much; it sounds like you want the tuck along with it to flatten your stomach.

dude, it's not worth it.............but if you are going to do it, make sure you get a good doctor and hospital.

Or go on "The Zone Diet" I lost more than my friend with the diet and exercise, I know you don`t want to hear. Good luck

There's always Meth, btw I want laser hair removal....any recommendations? Ducati, your a dude aye....who cares bro...it's a mental fuck. Next you'll find something else you want different. Learn to love yourself the way you are. If that doesn't work go buy Arnold Schwarzernegger's "Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuiding", which has 800 pages on body transformation. Whether youre skinny and can't gain wieght or fat and cant loose it. It is all about diet, exersise, and sleep. I donno thats my 2 cents. Peace

I haven't met or known one person who had lipo that didn't say it was absolute hell on Earth afterwords. One guy told me he would have eaten a bullet sandwich if he had the energy to pick up a gun. That guy shared a room with a regular poster here on this site, ironically enough, after his surgery. Get a phenominal doctor, a top notch hospital, and make sure you are liberal with the pain pills. I salute your bravery. I am too chicken to go to the dentist!

miamimike says on Apr 11, 2008, 00:11:

RJ-you would like my Dentist in Bogota! She has a nice touch, many Posters here on PBH have used her and NO complaints about pain.I had 14 teeth worked on by her in a 2 week stretch, some days I was in the chair up to 4 hours a day.

And I survived to make a pain in the Ass out of myself here on PBH! LOL

I might look into that Doc MM. I know I need to go, but I have a bad phobia going back to childhood. Maybe next time I am in Colombia, I will look her up.

I know a dentist / orthodontist in Bogota. She also practices in Villavo and Acacias. But I don't trust anybody that I have drank Aguardiente Llanero with, when it comes to surgery or my teeth! hahaha

miamimike says on Apr 11, 2008, 00:28:

Yea, you would have to keep a close eye on a Dentist like that, at least in the Clinic with the Drill in her hand! LOL A friend of mine from Cali who lives in Miami had her teeth done last year(in cali) and I have never seen a better job anywhere. It was a complete dental makeover and it cost her around $1500-she had whiter and better teeth then any Movie Star. Absolutely Incredible. If she had that quality of work done here in Miami it would have been at least $8000 USD. They have some good Dentists in Cali for sure,,,Pm me if you want to see some before&after Pics of the Miracle she performed on my then Tobacco stained buckteeth.

Well thanks God you boys don't have babies otherwise this world would be under populated hehehhe

miamimike says on Apr 11, 2008, 01:23:

Kat--yes Thank God but not for the reason you mentioned! I always used Protection as one thing I realized a long time ago is that (kids) are a bigger repsponsability then I could ever handle. I do enjoy working with Kids of others though.

Kat maybe if the Kids sprung from the Fruit of our Loins, while there wouldn't be as many Kiddies, the Quality would be much higher. Ja Ja

You look good in that Tin Foil Lid Kat! hehehe

I know you don't want to be lectured..but just try eacting better and hitting the gym. Running is great for your abs!
Lipo, plastic surgery...it's so superficial...

Ryan is right, love yourself for who you are and the way you are...you will find someone who loves you and appreciatres you for who you are and how you look....

Blondie says on Apr 11, 2008, 14:09:

Seriously, check out the clinic i gave the link to.... they take great care of you during every aspect of your trip... i have known people who have gone there (LOTS) of people and even those with complications (which is a risk for every surgery... doesnt matter WHERE YOU GET IT DONE) were taken exceptional care of until they were well/fixed!!!

la campiƱa says on Apr 11, 2008, 15:20:

here in cali clinicas esteticas are as common as english pubs ok it doesnt mean they are all good but from where I'm sitting there are surely some good ones, cali isnt the home of chicas plasticas for nothing
