Can't praise Dr. Agullo enough for his artistic ability and my results! I had a tummy tuck, muscle repair, hernia repair, ,mons fat pad removal, and lipo 360 performed on 1/9/25. His entire staff is absolutely insanely nice and responsive and I felt very comfortable being an out of town patient. I researched him for about 1.5 yrs before flying from east coast to TX for the procedure. I stayed in El Paso for a week before flying home without issues. I'm currently 2 WPO and feeling better every day though I still have my drain in and am still swollen. I'm 5'4", 130 lbs and was a size 2 prior to surgery but after having 8 kids, I was left with a lot of extra skin and a 3 finger gap in my rectus muscle. Sorry, pics loaded out of order for some reason. Updated on 27 Jan 2025: No issues, no pain, just weird tugging as it was pulled. I feel so much better now, I was getting bad burning at insertion site all yesterday. I had 3 days of 25mL or less output so it was time to pull it out. My swelling this morning was significantly less as well! Belly button is not as shallow now either so I can see inside it. Looks funky. I'll post more pics in 2 weeks! I'll be 4 WPO then. Updated on 30 Jan 2025: Still have some scabbing so I can't start scar treatment yet but incision looks good! Natural waist before surgery was 26" and today I'm 30"! Swelling is no joke. I have a lymphatic massage tomorrow and I'm sure that will help a lot. Updated on 7 Feb 2025: Stopped compression garments per surgeons instruction and started Embrace tension tape! I'm still really swollen and it gets worse at night, no matter how active or sedentary I am. Go back to work in 2 more weeks. Updated on 10 Feb 2025: Couldn't find much info on this until recently (on this site as a matter of fact) so I wanted to share. Yes, it's normal for wrinkles to develop in the tape and on your skin, as well as air pockets with some condensation! Here is a quote from a realself PS. After applying Embrace Active Scar Defense, it is normal to see rippling and condensation. Rippling or wrinkling of the active scar device is a sign that it is conforming to your skin. As long as the edges are fully adhered to your skin, it is still working and alleviating tension with your incision. Regarding condensation, this is also normal and most often occurs after showering or strenuous activity. The important thing to make sure of is that the edges are sealed. If not, and a water pocket has formed inside the dressing, it is time to remove Embrace. Updated on 26 Feb 2025: It's all about the milestones! I feel great, even with the swelling. The new confidence is amazing but still a foreign thing to me. Still using Embrace tape and I'm really loving how my scar is looking. I'll be 7 weeks in one day. Updated on 2 Mar 2025: My scar is flat, thin and can be hidden under a string bikini bottom! What more could I ask for? 20 more days of Embrace tape and then I'll be out. Contemplating ordering another 60 day treatment, but they are soooooo expensive.
I got the supercharged BBL lipo 360 on my arms flanks back and bra roll, thighs, knees, abdomen and calves. I got Aveli for my Cellulite on my thighs I got j plasma and body tight on my legs I also recorded Morpheus on my butt. I Got 635CC implants. I’m happy with the results so far on everything but my knees they are still sagging i’m hoping that goes away when all the swelling goes away. I got my procedure done on October 4 I am 3 1/2 weeks postop and it has been extremely rough. I wish I wouldn’t have done both at the same time depressed and but it has been extremely challenging to sleep. I’m not allowed to sleep on my butt, my stomach or sides Due to the fat transfer to the butt and hips and the breast implants. I was an extreme amount and pain for the first three weeks and two days the pains finally started to subside, and just became more of an annoyance than intolerant. It is still challenging to find a way to sleep I pile five pillows for the head four pillows for the back and then at 5 to 6 pillows for the legs so that my thighs and back and hold me up because of this, it has caused my fibrosis to stay Everywhere in my body. It is hard and lumpy. I’m very uncomfortable. I did the recommended massages. They said they recommended eight, so I signed up for nine lymphatic massages. They held a little, but didn’t come nowhere near, touching the fibrosis, breaking it up or taking any of the pain away . I bought a massage gun from Walmart and it has been a lifesaver and has broken up. A lot of the knots has got me out of a lot of the pain because the Febres this is so bad in Stubborn It is hard to get some. Of the really big knots out, but it has been better than any massage that I have received so far. I did sign up to go do a few RF therapy sessions to help with the fibrosis and breaking it up. I’m doing my review. I ordered some knee braces with massages and heating pads from Amazon those come in tomorrow. I’ll let you know how those work I knees are still really swollen and hurt really bad. They forgot to get a few stitches out and they started to become in bedded into my skin so that areas that they did not get out right away or hard and lumpy and very very sore. I only got to see the doctor twice the day before my surgery when he came to talk to me about my breast, and then the day of surgery I saw him for about five minutes before I was put onto the table and fell asleep. He came into mark up my body. I’m still really swollen everywhere. My stomach hurts really bad because of the fibrosis is not able to expand so it hurts to even breath. My arms and thighs are rock hard and hurts really bad. My discharge papers say that I can sit on my butt after two weeks, but that’s impossible to do. The butt is extremely sore and you can barely touch it. When I asked Erica Gomez, how I would sleep she said they would give me a special pillow where I would be able to sleep on my side since I couldn’t sleep on my back or stomach come to find out that was not true. I was not allowed to sleep on my side, and they never gave me a special pillow. They gave me around BBL pillow a regular BBL pillow and a wedge wedge was very useless. I couldn’t find anything to do with it.. I read online about the body pillow, but that didn’t work either. It was way too small. I ask Erica Gomez if the nurse would be showering mean everything if I had her come over and pay for a few more days she said yes so I went ahead and paid for six days for the nurse to come but the nurse told me she does not do that she will just watch me and then take my vitals so I only ended up having a nurse come out the one time and then ask for a refund. They told me they would give me a refund on 10/16 I still haven’t received that yet. I get sharp sciatic nerve pains in my but still it hurts. It goes away and then comes back. It’s very random. This has been a very hard ordeal I was going to take off the breast and just do the aveli body tight Lipo 360 and the super charged bbl first then do the breast implants in January but I went ahead and did the breast along with the supercharged BBL since I thought I was going to get a special pillow to sleep on my side and that everything is going to be OK. I am 4’10 111lbs 32C when I went to have surgery. I know way 122 I saw a lot of swelling. And I believe I am a 36 triple D. I was going to choose 585 cc when the doctor Frank Angulo came in and convinced me to go ahead and do the 635 cc to give me the cleavage that I wanted. I’m really glad that he did that. I absolutely love my breast implants so far, those my butt and my calves have been my favorite feature, the cellulite has been improving week by week and I’m extremely excited about that. If I would’ve known about the massage gun, I would’ve never done the lymphatic massages. It was a waste of money and time I stayed out there an extra three weeks just so I can get them done and they did absolutely nothing for me the massage gun I bought from Walmart has been a lifesaver, I bought a second one from Amazon just so that when when is charging I can use the other one I’m trying to get rid of this fibrosis it is extremely uncomfortable . The implants I did was the areola lift with an internal mesh bra. The nipples look weird right now, but they will look better. Once I’m able to start using the scar cream. They told me to wait till week five to start doing that.
I am now 4 weeks post-op and have nothing but good things to say about my experience with Dr. Agullo and his team. Over the course of 3 years through diet and exercise, I have lost over 130 pounds. With that weight loss came a lot of excess skin which I needed the help of a plastic surgeon to get rid of. This was my third skin removal surgery. Unfortunately, for my first two surgeries, I used a different surgeon, where I did not receive good follow-up care and ended up with complications. Dr. Agullo is truly a master at his craft. I am early in my recovery and I already see the huge aesthetic improvements from the procedures he performed. I had an arm lift, spiral thigh lift, glute lift, and augmentation. The scars are pencil-thin, and as they heal, will continue to lighten and hardly be noticeable. The loose skin rolls on the back of my thighs are gone, my butt is lifted and no more hanging skin on the back of my arms. I can’t wait to get back into the gym and actually see the results from all my hard work. It won’t be hidden under the excess skin anymore! The follow-up care I have received here has been outstanding! These are medical procedures and require medical follow-up care. Nurse Practitioners Margie and Yvonne are outstanding and have provided me with skilled medical care, kindness, and patience. Nurse Maria who performs the at-home checks was a true godsend and got me through that first week. Nurses, Pamela and Ellie, are so kind and help you feel comfortable during office checkups. My lymphatic massages with Vanessa are always so enjoyable and relaxing. The ladies up front are always so welcoming and willing to work out scheduling with you. The bottom line is I highly recommend Dr. Agullo! I am so grateful to him and his team. After the experience I had with another surgeon, I was extremely nervous going into this surgery. I couldn’t be happier with my results or the care I received at Southwest Plastic Surgery!
I am on My first week I got lipo 360 635CC breast implants and a supercharged bbl with j plasma and body tight to my arms knees and thighs it has been a very painful process hard to do anything since I can’t be on my but I’d stomach. So far I annually love my breast. The rest is too soon to form am opinion
I am day 5 out of surgery, and I couldn't be more pleased with my results. I had previous illegal silicone injected into my body in 2015 it was causing me a lot of pain and inflammation so finally reached the decision, to have it removed by: Dr.Frank Agullo. This doctor is a true miracle worker and his staff is very Kind. I'm glad I chose him. replaced my loss of volume with 550 cc buttock implants i'm extremely pleased with my results so far. and will update as time passes.
I was very worried to get a tummy tuck, but did a lot of research and settled on Southwest Plastic Surgery and Dr Agullo. He did an amazing job with the procedure, I could not be more happy!! Moreover, the staff at the clinic, are incredible! They are very responsive, professional and seem to know what they are doing! A Nurse came to my house the day after the procedure to check on me and explain required care. Then I was scheduled regularly for checkups to check everything. They said the "drain" would need to be in for 3-6 weeks and mine was in almost 6 weeks and I am still being seen to ensure fluid drainage and proper heeling. I had read of other people being treated in other clinics that received no after care, so this is overwhelmingly a huge positive! Everyone from the front desk staff, to the massage therapist to the amazing NP that sees and evaluates my recovery are truly the best. Updated on 29 Mar 2023: NP Yvonne Mazza is amazing. My procedure was perfect and the results are incredible. I don't remember ever meeting the Dr after my initial consult (I am sure I did before the surgery, but was most likely already counting backwards from ten...haha.) All went great, but I really want to commend and recommend NP Yvonne Mazza, she saw and treated me daily at about the 8 (?) week point, to drain any excess fluid after the drain was removed. She is a true professional and takes the time to prep and care for each patient. I also unfortunately developed a blood clot, and she sent me immediately to get an ultrasound and to get follow on treatment for it and recommended home care which worked out great.She and the team of nurses and aides are very responsive and professional. I could not be more happy,Thank you!
My experience with Dr. Agullo and his staff has been absolutely amazing, everything from the consultation to pre op, to surgery, to after care has been perfect. 5 star work, 5 star care, 5 star service!!! I first contacted Dr. Agullo on Instagram and I thought I was talking to an assistant however I was shocked to find out that Dr. Runs his own social media which says a lot about his integrity and care for his business. I went in for a consultation and the staff was extremely friendly and welcoming from the start. I felt so comfortable immediately. I met with the nurse practitioner which I was hesitant about at first however she was extremely knowledgeable and confident which put my mind at ease. She also communicated my desired results with Dr to give me the best reccomendations. After this I was all in. I instantly knew that everyone truly cared about getting me the best results possible. When I met Dr. For surgery I felt as if I already met him. He helped me pick a size and made sure to answer any questions I had. After surgery care exceeded any expectation I had. The nurses were so attentive and caring. I was provided a number I can call at anytime for emergencies. I had 1 scare because I didn't know I would drain out from the lipo and they answered me immediately. My family could not beleive how caring and attentive this facility was. I am 3 weeks post op and my results are GORGEOUS!!! My breast look natural and full, the donut lift looks beautiful, mY incisions are so small, the lipo is healing nicely. I am 1000% happy with my decision on going with Dr. Agullo for my surgery and I would never trust anyone else with my body!!! From the bottom of my heart THANK YOU DOCTOR FOR GIVING ME AMAZING RESULTS, FOR THE CARE OF YOUR STAFF, AND FOR GIVING ME MY CONFIDENCE BACK !!!

It’s been over a year since my breast Augmentation I have to say I love them and look so natural, but I wish I could’ve asked for a bigger more fuller size. Dr. Agullo did a great job and I am happy!
Hi everyone! I just had my surgery Monday March 29th 2021, and I was extremely excited. I'm an out of state patient however I felt everything was taken care of by his office and any questions I had were answered promptly by phone or email. My surgery went amazing, I'm still healing so I will continue to update along the way, but I had a breast augmentation with an areola lift, BBL, lipo everywhere, and a short scar arm lift. Overall post op, I feel very well, and I'll update with results when I'm done with the swelling
It is challenging to answer this question without an examination. More standardized photos would be helpful in the assessment, from the front standing straight, sides, and obliques.
Based on your description and goals, a circumferential or doughnut lift would be the best option to restore fullness with minimal scarring while maintaining a natural nipple position. This technique helps achieve optimal shape and projection without extensive incisions. For implant size, something in the range of 300-350cc should provide a full, balanced look without appearing too heavy, especially considering your broader build. Trying sizers during your consult and utilizing the Vector 3D simulation system will give you a better visual of your potential results. As for labiaplasty, yes, it can typically be performed at the same time as breast surgery. However, it’s important to choose a surgeon who is experienced and comfortable performing both procedures in one session for optimal results and recovery. Discuss your goals thoroughly during your consultation to ensure a tailored plan that best suits your aesthetic vision! #Staybeautiful @RealDrWorldWide
It looks like you have a combination of loose skin and excess fat in the back. Contrary to popular belief, a tummy tuck 360 or circumferential body lift does not significantly address upper back fat. While it helps lift the buttocks, it doesn’t pull the upper back skin down much. For your specific concerns, liposuction combined with J-Plasma (Renuvion) for skin tightening could be a great option. The amount of skin contraction varies from person to person, but it can provide a noticeable improvement without the need for larger incisions. The only other option for significant skin laxity in this area is a back lift, which involves a scar along the bra strap area. If your primary concern is fat rather than significant loose skin, liposuction alone may be sufficient. Be sure to discuss your expectations with a board-certified plastic surgeon to determine the best approach for your body goals. #Staybeautiful @RealDrWorldWide
If skin texture is your biggest concern, you might want to consider Morpheus8, a microneedling treatment with radiofrequency that helps tighten the skin and improve texture. Liposuction will remove excess fat but won’t necessarily improve skin texture or laxity. For optimal results, adding Renuvion J-Plasma along with Morpheus8 during liposuction can help tighten the skin and improve texture, giving a smoother appearance. However, it’s crucial to choose a highly qualified plastic surgeon because excessive or incorrectly performed liposuction can actually worsen skin texture and create lumpiness. Since you’re hoping to avoid a tummy tuck, a combination of liposuction, Renuvion, and Morpheus8 may be the best approach to achieve a flatter, smoother stomach without extensive scarring. I’d recommend an in-person consultation to assess the best treatment plan for your specific concerns. #Staybeautiful @RealDrWorldWide
