ATTENTION: ALL THOSE AFFECTED BY CORTES!!!

I contacted Janiris to get my medical records and she said she would send it to me but she never did. She strung me along for 1 months and lied to me. She even said she mailed it yet I never received anything. I wanted those records for various reasons and also as my personal reference.

Eventually I decided to contact the hospital directly to ask for my medical records and the medical records did not say anything of substance. Meaning Cortes just put what he wanted to in the medical records and left out important information such as how many cc's were put in, where he did lipo, what type of lipo he did, and other crucial information. Also, I needed to know that information just in case another doctor treated me but the report did not mention anything relevant. I just needed to know exactly what was done!!

This brings me to my main reason for posting this. You have rights. So if you were a victim of Cortes or were affected by Cortes in any way I would recommend that you contact the Attorney General's Office of Texas or the General Counsel of Texas, or any other entity that deals with advocating for the public. You may also be able to contact a Consumer Division for the state of Texas or you may be able to contact the Texas Medical Board. You may also want to contact your local news. These are options for those who cannot afford a personal lawyer or for those who can afford a personal lawyer. You have options, so please look into them.

There are also lawyers that take on cases pro bono (entirely for free) or that take on a case for free initially and only get paid a portion, in the end, if they win the case.

Umm, not sure why Realself.com removed the last part of my previous post...

...but here it is:

I don't know if it's a burn or what...

Hi everyone, it's been a while since my last post and I thought, let me do a little update for you all! I actually forgot to tell you all about a black patch (I don't know what it is) that Wilberto Cortes left me with, on the side of my belly/oblique area immediately after my BBL. I thought it was normal and would go away and waited patiently, but it has not gone away and it's been more than a year since my surgery. I don't know...maybe it's a burn? I posted pictures so you can take a look.Ten months after my BBL with Wilberto, I had a second BBL with a different doctor. There is an improvement in my shape and butt size. However, most of the problems, such as butt dents and butt asymmetry that Wilberto left me with, which I complained about in the previous post, are still there. Thus, choose your 1st BBL surgeon wisely. Oh and I'm going to have a tummy tuck next month because I have loose abdominal skin and hopefully the surgeon who will perform my tummy tuck, will be able to remove that black patch off of my belly at the same time. For more details on my 2nd BBL and my tummy tuck, you can check out my other reviews.

He really didn't take the time out to listen to my concerns. While asking questions, I felt rushed and therefore did not feel comfortable to ask all of the questions that I wanted to. I showed him my wish pics and he disregarded them, saying he was not God. SMH. I spent the night at the hospital and the next day when he came to the hospital, I asked him how many cc's did he put he said he put 1000 in each butt check and 200 in each hip but when I called a few weeks later, they said that in the file it was 400 in each hip. They need to keep it consistent. After he answered that question he just seemed like he wanted to leave. Honestly, he was not that nice. He was just in and out.
