- 30 Jan 2012
I always wanted bigger breasts, and I wasn't happy with my appearance.
I'm very happy with the surgery, and am enjoying the "new me." I was told the swelling would last 6-8 weeks but that it could be longer for some people. For me it has been 9 months of swelling in the abdomen. I actually had breast implants, tummy tuck, inner thighs, and liposuction all done at the same time (don't recommend doing that much at one time!).
Great review?
My Doctor: Wilberto Cortes, MD
My rating:
Dr. Cortes was always very friendly, and always answered my questions. Shortly after surgery, my drain became clogged; Dr. Cortes took the time to come to the office and help me on Easter Sunday. I thought this was great. The only reason I did not give Dr. Cortex an Excellent rating was the billing/payment process. It turns out the hospital and anesthesia people charge separately if your surgery runs long. Dr. Cortes' office did explain this, but the hospital/anesthesia people really hassled me. That dampened my overall experience a little.
Wow, you had the works! Why wouldn't you recommend doing all of those things at once? Too hard of recovery? I can imagine that it was pretty painful!
Thank you for sharing your experience here on RealSelf. I'm glad it was worth it for you!
