The Cuban singer Thaly Lages underwent a liposculpture with fat transfer to the buttocks in Cuba and did not hesitate to share her experience on social media, especially to those considering the same procedure. In a video that has garnered thousands of reactions, the young artist revealed the three things you should know if you are going to have surgery in Cuba, and she issued a clear warning right from the start: "It’s not like in other countries."
Thaly explained that the most challenging part was finding a reliable surgeon, as there are no portals with reviews or public ways to verify the work of doctors in Cuba. Additionally, you cannot choose the date of your surgery, because the waiting lists are long, and the scheduling does not depend on either the patient or the doctor. Finally, she warned that the postoperative period is also difficult, as there are no specialized stores in the country to purchase the necessary garments, boards, or stockings for recovery, and those who sell them do so at high prices.
His testimony sparked a wave of reactions. Some followers asked for information about the hospital and prices; others thanked him for addressing a rarely discussed topic without filters. There were also critical comments, such as one from a user who stated: "Conclusion: do not have surgery in Cuba." Professional opinions came in from abroad as well: “In Cuba, there are neither the resources nor half of what is necessary to perform a BBL and recover,” commented a consultant from a clinic in Miami.
Among the harshest reactions was that of a woman who claimed to have had a completely different experience: “I had a rhinoplasty in Cuba, it was the worst decision of my life. I ended up worse than I was and had no one to complain to. If I could go back in time, I would have knocked myself out of the clinic.” Although not all stories end badly, the underlying theme of many is the same: undergoing cosmetic surgery in Cuba involves more uncertainty than guarantees.
Despite everything, Thaly assures that she is happy with the result and that she would do it again, provided it is with the same surgeon. Her testimony has opened a necessary debate about the real conditions of cosmetic surgery in Cuba, a topic that generates increasing curiosity, but of which few speak with such honesty. That said, many are clear: they would not risk undergoing surgery on the island, where these procedures are carried out in an environment marked by scarcity, disorganization, and informality.
