Rhinoplasty on April 2025
Dr. Ortegas was great. He explained everything in details. I did my Rhinoplasty with him and loved my results. I recommend him. He even followed up and was very informative. The staff was also helpful.

Dr. Ortega is the GOAT
I underwent a tummy tuck w/Dr. Ortega on 2/25. I am being extremely honest Dr. Ortega is wonderful, he is empathetic, understanding and answers all of your questions the morning of your procedure. He explained to me why he was doing a full tummy tuck as opposed to a mild tummy tuck and he took his time with explanation; he does not rush. He also thoroughly reviewed my labs & discussed them with me. I was extremely nervous the morning of surgery, but I trusted Dr. Ortega and

Highly recommend them to anyone considering a plastic surgery
After enduring the challenges of obesity and undergoing bariatric surgery, I embarked on a lengthy quest to enhance my well-being and physique. Following the birth of my second child, I ultimately made the choice to have a Mommy Makeover (MMO) at Spectrum Aesthetics, a decision for which I am immensely thankful. Let me emphasize by saying that Dr. Mel Ortega is a true professional in every sense of the word. Dr. Ortega is a straight shooter, honest, caring & an artist in

Finally my turn!
Hi Ladies! I've been on RealSelf for 15 years! After 3 babies, and years of waiting. It. Is. My. Turn! I've looked at Dr.Ortega's work over these years. I've seen countless videos, reviews and journeys. And I am definitely ready. My surgery day is November 2nd. I ordered the IV therapy package as well. I will update here after surgery with before and after pics and video! Finally!!! Updated on 1 Nov 2023: I’ve added my before photos here. Pre-op went surprisingly well.

​23 days before mommy makeover & praying for a speedy & safe recovery
Is It normal to be scared before getting a mommy make over. Im starting to panic and im not sure if i should continue! I am a 39 year old mother of 2 children 6 and 14 years of age. At times i think to myself what if I don't make it thru surgery... But this has been something Ive been wanting to do since i had my my kids and got BBL done instead of the surgery I should've gotten first . I set up my appointment for surgery for September 28, 2023 thats literally 1 month a week

My tummy tuck expectations were met beyond my imagination
Dr. Ortega is by far the GOAT! I’ve researched and wanted a tummy tuck for many years but never thought it was possible because of many reasons including FEAR! After lots of research and comparisons I was always amazed and in disbelief by Dr. Ortega’s magic ????… Finally, decided I didn’t want regrets later on in life as to what ifs…so I entrusted my instincts. I scheduled my tummy tuck with Dr. Ortega. Day of surgery, I met Dr. Ortega. He is a VERY experienced Doctor with

Less Than 90 Days for Tummy Tuck
So far so good with Spectrum. I am scheduled for a Tummy Tuck April 20 which is less than 90 days away. I am scared because of shows like BOTCHED but I have been reading reviews of Dr. Ortega and they aren’t bad. I have faith that everything is going to go ok. Updated on 1 Mar 2022: It’s less than 60 days away and my nerves are one 1000. My experience with Spectrum so far has been iffy. My client coordinator was Tina she was ok at getting back to me with in 3-4 days. But my
