WORTH IT$4,000
So far I'm 10 months post op... although I do get swollen and I find that it's mostly after I eat. and I so I'm trying to watch my sodium intake. My abdomen is settling down and I've notice that I could probably benefit with a little more excision of the skin. I still have the bump below my belly button. I am still very happy with the upper part, but very dissatisfied with the lower. I have contacted my doctor and he has agreed that I do need additional Lipo to flatten that area.. I absolutely love my new contour and shape of my body. I go to the gym 3-4 times a week. I do 30 min cardio and I'm trying concentrate more on toning. although, my body has changed tremendously I sometimes feel discouraged when I look down towards and I don't see flat tummy. I wish I could of stayed an extra couple of days more with the drain and nor had cried like a baby to take them out. They were in for 14 days and I was miserable. My advice is to be tough, deal with it and leave them in until there is no more fluids coming out. Wish I had done that. I probably would not have this hard bump. However, I did have a ct scan and it showed no hematoma. So I'm going back in march which will be my one year post op for Lipo and more tightening of the skin. I have posted my 10 month pics and would really like to hear your advice in them. Thanks everyone :)

Hi,
I think You look great!! Your tummy looks flat but I understand pictures sometimes dont capture the flaws. I had a breast reduction with Dr. ortiz in December I love love my results. I have a lumpy and uneven belly because of a horrible lipo performed by a Dr. Here im NY. Soo Dr. Ortiz says I need a tummy tuck to fix. Im really hesitant about gettin a TT cause I dont like the look of the Full TT belly buttons but after seeing yours Im considering it. Dr. Ortiz does not want to give a mini tummy tuck a Dr. Here in the states suggested a mini. If possible can you post a pic of the scar? How long did you stay for the TT?

Ohh I also like the curve he gave you. Do you think you needed a tummy tuck or did he say you needed it? Did you see any other Dr.s here in the states before choosing him?

Had surgery on 3/8/12. Now 3 months post op. Overall still waiting for lower abdomen to flatten. I love my new BB. Not sure if I will need revision. Still a little frusterated with a hardness below BB. I had Lipo to my back and Tt with muscle repair.

Wow you look wonderful. Looks like you lost alot of weight too. You have am incredible figure!! Congratulation!!! Are you saying you may need a bb revision because of the hardness?

No, I have a hard mass below my bb to right side if lower abdomen. I'm not completely flat there. It's very hard. I have three months to go till I reach my six month mark, Si definetely hoping it will just go away. I think it could be scar tissue. It doesn't hurt its just annoying. Just being patient. Thank you for the compliment it good to hear them.
