Pissed!
Hey ladies it's been a long while and I wish I could say I was SOOO happy with my results but I'm not and dr.cortes is just blowing off my concerns. I'll elaborate in the next update. I really need to know how much fat did dr cortes take out of you guys?? Any info on how many liters or cc's he took would be great!

Hey ladies it's been awhile! I've just been kinda unhappy with my results. I'm in the middle of catching u guys up in an update and uploading some more pics but could u guys let me know how much fat was taken out during ur bbl?
I had surgery in Fl. They are only allowed to remove 4 liters of fat at a time. Is there a restriction on the amount of fat that can be liposuctioned in Texas? I'm sorry you are not happy. This sx is too rough physically & emotionally for you to be unhappy. Keep us posted.
Im still left with fat on my damn body! Im f.... pissed too hun. Imagine this, I've had 2 bbl and still got fat in all the same areas before any bbl's ive had. Is this nuts or f..... what!? I totally understand where your coming from.
Girl I'm on [RS bleep] FIRE! I found out he only took 2 liters from me after he told me he would at least take 5!!!! I just emailed them and told them I would have [RS bleep] NEVER paid him $11,000 if he would have told me that was all that was going to be taken! This is [RS bleep]!!!! I'm the exact same size minus a couple inches on my tummy and plus a couple on my ass! My arms lega chin hips EVERYTHING IS STILL THE EXACT FUKN SAME! This is not right and something needs to be done about it! I say we team up! No joke. what he's doing to girls is wrong!
I feel for you hun. Im in the same boat as you are. Im tired of girls comin on my page sayin I should be happy with my results, says who I should be f**** happy! I am left with so much fat on my damn body. I showed him wish pics for both bbl's and said he knew what I wanted. Im left with fat and dents, ain't that f*** up doll. Paid over $18, 000 on both surgeries. This is really ridiculous!
Yes it's [RS bleep]! I'm so pissed. And I'm not letting him get Away with this [RS bleep]. My husband wants to get a lawyer. He knew what I wanted as well and I was TOLD he would at least take 5 liters! I already emailed them about it and I'm waiting to hear the reply. Have u told them anything?
And yea I have a huge sent on my stomach that he says was from the garment but it was there right Fter surgery! The brown spots he told me were going to just fade away are now permanent unless I use bleaching cream ( which he just told me 2 days ago), I have a huge ugly burn scar on my stomach, my thighs are two different sizes and butt cheeks are two diff sizes I have more fat on my upper abdomen then my lower etc. this is [RS bleep] for the amount of money we pay to have something done and it be done half assed!
So many unhappy ladies. I would be upset too. He doesn't take any responsibility.
I know for a fact my upper tummy was not lipo'd too. I have weird indentations there and its not all flat. I have the same issues as you too. I am beyond f.... pissed right now. This Dr thinks he's God and that he does everything so perfectly he's so wrong. Too many ladies are pissed off at this damn ass Dr. I now need to fix my butt issues and more lipo with another Dr. Can you believe I've had 2 bbl and still got tons of fat. This is pure [RS bleep]!!!
Yes it's [RS bleep]!!! And now they quit answering my emails and put me on hold and just hang up!! I'm so fukn mad! I have dents and burns and I know for a fact my upper tummy was not fukn lipoed either! My ass cheeks are two diff sizes I have permanent brown spots everywhere a huge dent in my thigh my ass is SOOO funny shaped and he won't even try to talk to me about fixing it!!!! I'm calling a lawyer this is [RS bleep] even if I can't win a case I can damn sure make sure this gets out there so he don't do this to anyone else!
Nope! None! I was told it was my fault for wearing the garment wrong when these problems were there before the garment!
I mdg Cortes personally on FB a few times and all he said to me is this;
"You look great and amazing. I did all I can do for you.
I meant message
OMFG are u kidding me!!! [RS bleep] that! I'm calling my lawyer I paid for one thing and got 1/3 of what I paid for! Girl I'd be fukn loosing my [RS bleep] if he told me that! What's his fb I want to go message him!
Did you ever get a lawyer?
Sorry to hear this :(( do you have more updated pics ?
Yes I'll be posting them this afternoon. And the unevenness is so obvious but when I asked him about him he wanted to play like he didn't see what I was talking about soluble you ladies can be the judge of how obvious it is so I know I'm not going crazy!
Yea I bet he plays dumb....my stomach is on even too at the bottom... I think since he did such bad Lipo, Lipo won't make it better so I'm considering getting a mini Ty in the future to correct it. I'm so embarrassed for any man to see the way my stomach looks.
Mini TT*
Sorry to hear you are unhappy with your results.
Soo sorry to hear your upset with you bbl......I hope somthing can be done and everything works out for you....
What the hell happened with this doctor??? He was getting great reviews for awhile but here lately I've seen a lot of bad reviews on him. I guess I dodge a bullet it there as he was my 1st choice for my round 2 but told me to wait so i move on to fisher. I'm having seroma issues from my surgery with Fisher but otherwise good. I'm sorry you are experiencing this bs with Cortez and hope it can get resolved in the near future. He needs to get his stuff together and correct his mistakes!!

Confused
Why do I weigh more 2 weeks AFTER surgery. I mean, they take out a lot more fat than they actually put back in you so u would think u would weigh at least a little but less than what u did when u went into surgery. But no I actually weigh 10 pounds MORE! Can anyone explain this to me please????

Hey hun, you are swollen and the extra water you're retaining is responsible for the extra pounds. It's very important to do your part though:
KEEP YOUR GARMENT ON 23 hrs a day
DRINK A LOT OF WATER - when you think you've had all you can take, Drink more!
Take your singular - it helps improve swelling
Walk around as much as possible
Get lymphatic massages ASAP - if your lymph drains are closed due to knots they will not drain properly, leaving you swollen. On between massages massage the areas you can as much as possible to improve circulation
Eat clean - we can't work out or get around normally so you don't want to gain wait. Watch out for foods that increase swelling (salty foods, any fast food, snacks) and eat foods that keep you hydrated (watermelon, cucumbers, cabbage, bananas-they all help with swelling).
Hope this helps!
I guess I'm just panicking Bc to me it doesn't look like swelling. It just looks like...me. And I was hoping to be smaller in the waist than what I'm seeing and more projection in the butt than what I'm seeing.
You are still very very swollen.... I weigh about 25 lbs more than I did before surgery....keep drinking water and the inflammation with go down.... Remember your body just took a serious beating it will take months for you to see a complete recovery...

Swelling!!! Fluid weighs a lot !!
The aftermath is the worst in feel and sight. My legs and knees are swollen and look like stuff sausages lol. It'll get better and once swelling goes down you'll be able to see your real results :). Once your lipo holes heal up use palmer cocoa butter on your butt a couple times a day..helped me with the stretching last time afterwards as well as prepping for this one. Glad to see you doing better...I was worried about you!!
It's the swelling and fluids. Your body will release it.
