Three Hispanic women who have been victims of the scalpel recounted their bad experiences with plastic surgery at First Impact (Univisión). Susy Martínez is one of them. “I was crying, I couldn't find anything to do. I sometimes said: 'This is what happens to you for wanting to be superficial. You shouldn't have done this. ' Why change something that wasn't so bad?” The woman, who has two daughters, wanted her bust to look more natural. However a few days after her surgery, she noticed that something was wrong. “One pointed to one direction, the other to another direction. One was circular and the other like a pear”, she tells about her breasts.

Catalina Daniel also shared her story. The woman wanted to return to a flat abdomen after her pregnancies and underwent cosmetic surgery. "She left me with a scar that was from hip to hip," she said of her surgeon.

Gabriela Beldaño, who is a member of the United States Army and fought in Iraq, underwent surgery to correct a respiratory problem. “It gave me more breathing problems, I couldn't even sleep. My breath was short,”she revealed of her operation.

Plastic surgeon Raby Rabban, who did not operate on any of the three women cited by Primer Impacto, spoke to the show about why, according to him, Hispanics are more likely to have bad experiences with cosmetic surgeries. “Latinos are the best patients because they have too much respect for doctors. They are not the kind of culture that is going to come back and [complain]. They don't come back and they say to the doctor, 'I'm not happy with this result,'”he says.

Beldaño identifies himself. "Sometimes we are self-conscious, we feel sorry, we don't want to ask when we really have questions but we don't ask them," he admits. Martínez, for his part, claims to have learned the lesson after his bad experience with the scalpel. "If you feel that it is wrong and that they are not listening to you, you should fight, talk more," she concludes.
