How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I was motivated to See Dr. Mel T. Ortega after seeing a girl on realself post her review. Her body shape was similar to mine and I was really shocked at how amazing she looked afterwards.
The place is called Spectrum Aesthetics and it is located in Coral Gables, Miami area and it was in a nice plastic surgery center. It looks very clean and the staff are Amazing! My coordinator was Karla, and my assistant who helped with every aspect was Jenny. They are both great and made me feel like family.
I would totally recommend this place. I had surgery with two other friends of mine so we are all healing together right now. I had a Brazilian Butt Lift and the areas Dr. Ortega had lipo are my arms, entire back, abdomen, chin, and inner thighs. I am so swollen but I can already see my shape coming through. My bum is HUGE! I can't wait for it to drop and fluff.

BBL Post Op - Day 4
I have more swelling than before. Maybe because I have been self massaging. I am not taking any pain killers because the pain is tolerable. Level 2/10 Pain Scale and sleeping is getting better.
I am currently on a Slim Fast Diet with one balanced meal because I just don't want to order food or go out too much. It gets too tiring. Miami heat is humid and disgusting.
SWELLING in abdomen, it looks bigger than before but I am not stressing. I'm confident it will go away. I am talking about major swelling!
*Wishing I had more Hip projection, but I am still happy with my results.

Provider Review
Dr. Mel T. Ortega is amazing! He is very detail orientated and is super understanding and intelligent. I felt very comfortable and he seemed to know what I want as soon as he put markings on me. He knows how much the body can handle and will only work on you if you're the right candidate. My only complaint would be about time, because he takes his time with his patients and waiting can be a little annoying. But I am glad to know he doesn't rush into anything.
