Silicone Vacation
I lost notes from the following conversation I had with a woman flying between Cartagena and Bogota, but the conversation has not left my head so I decided to do my best to recreate it. No exaggerations… if anything, this is completely understated and factual…
I beautiful young woman of twenty-one years sat next to me on the airplane. She was black, but her skin was the blend of white, brown and black of Central America rather than a pure black from Africa. She was very beautiful and what caught my attention mainly was her blue sparkling eyes. Dark skin and blue crystal eyes… oh what a combination. They were so beautiful that I immediately told her so. She smiled broadly, thanked me and my heart melted. She then asked if I could pick up her bag on the floor because she just had silicone implant surgery and was too sore. Huh? Well that’s what I thought I heard, but it must have been something else and I have a real sick mind. I picked up the bag with a laptop and handed it to her. She then told me in her impeccable English that she was from Panama and headed back via Bogota. What I loved about talking to her (name being witheld) is that she was so open and honest. Here is how the rest of the conversation goes (H = her, M = me)…
H: I was in Cartegna having plastic surgery done for my job.
M: Oh really.
H: I had three procedures done at the same time. I had silicone breast implants, liposuction to my midriff and thighs and injections from the liposuction into my rear.
M:
H: I wanted to go to 40DD, but my doctor would not do that.
M: … Where did you start from?
H: 36C. I have a picture from after the surgery when I was over a 40DD. Would you like to see it?
M: … Sure. What do you mean by the injections to your rear?
H: They take the fat from the liposuction and injected it into my rear.
M: Are you happy with the results? H: I am very happy. You can see when we get to Bogota…
M: Why did you choose Cartagena?
H: My mother had her work done by the same doctor. I also get a great price because five of my friends have been to the same doctor. He does 7-8 of these procedures per day.
M: There is no doubt that the highest success rate in surgeries is by doctors that do the procedures regularly. You’re getting the group price.
H: He is the best and, yes, the prices are great.
M: How much if you don’t mine me asking?
H: Of course not, $2500 for the breasts and $2800 for the other two which have to be done together.
M: Of course they do! Sounds like a good deal to me. I understand a lot of women and men come to Colombia for these type of vacations.
H: Yes, they really take care of you here. I was treated great at a resort for eight days after the surgery and a couple of days prior.
M: How long will it take to recuperate?
H: About three months. I won’t be working. I will be staying with my mom in Panama City. Here is the picture of what I looked like after the surgery…
M: Ah, yes, I see that they are more normal now.
H: Yes, we settled on 38D rather than the 40DD that I wanted.
M: Yes, much better for your back in the long run.
H: No, they are colored contacts.
M:
H: Mexico and Bahamas.
M: How do you do that immigration-wise?
H: My boyfriend/boss takes care of it.
M:
H: In Cancun, Mexico it was $5000 for nineteen months.
M: Was that official?
H: No.
M:
H:
M:
I decided not to ask her the obvious questions and we just chatted about life afterwards. She indeed showed me her rear work after the flight and it all looked fine. I guess. Fully clothed, of course. She also gave me two website addresses. It appears that she is a model of some sort. I don’t exactly know what “sort”… I will say that she was an amazingly refreshing breeze for a flight leaving hot and sticky Cartagena.
