On November 16 2010 I had a tummy tuck and lipo in my back. When I got to the OR the doctor saw that I had a little bit of fat bet my upper thighs and also I had two small hole on both sides of my butt.while he was drawing my body to mark the incision I asked him how much would be to take care of that and he told me not worry that he will be taking care of that. And of course, I was so happy!!..

Before going to the OR they put me to sleep and then gave me a epidural anesthesia (not general). By the time I woke up everything as done. And my doctor was sitting right next to me to make sure I was comfortable. At the time He helped the nurse to clean me up. I left the next day and started my lymphatic massages on the fourth day, on the 10th day they remove my stitches and on the 14 day the drain since I had a lot of fluid on my body. Since I live in NY I keep going for my massages here.

I'm planing to back back with the same Doctor for a breast reduction and lift without implants since the doctor restores the breast of women in D.R. of low income who had lost they're breast due cancer for free.

If I have to do this I will do it all over again!!

I'm Curios to know how you slept. With a tummy tuck you have to sleep on your back and with the fat transfer you have to sleep on your stomach. I also want to do these procedure plus my breast. Thank you

Hey Gernaie, let me start by saying you look great ! Do you have Dr. Ortiz contact information?

I was very happy to see that Dr. Ortiz is continuing to do great work! I myself had a tummy tuck with him 6 years ago and I must say I still look great!!! My girlfriend paid over 3 times the amount I paid for my tuck and didnt get no where near the results I got from Dr. Ortiz. He is without a doubt a great plastic surgeon and I continue to recommend him to other women, if they can find him...So if anyone has any up to date info on his contacts please do tell.
