CLAIM YOUR PROFILEHello, thanks for the question. Sculptra is a great way to stimulate collagen production. There are many ways to mix and dilute the sculptra but the amount of product in each vial remains the same. So the key is to disperse the little poly-L lactic acid beads evenly into specific areas. The other very important thing I tell all of my patients is that they have to massage the area 5 times a day, for 5 minutes, for 5 days. This helps distribute the beads evenly. Thus if injected properly, and if you massage correctly, the odds of getting lumps are very little especially in the buttock.

The only way to prevent your forehead wrinkles is to weaken the muscle that form those wrinkles. Botox is the best treatment, and because of your age, it will work beautifully to not only soften them, if not remove them altogether, and will also prevent them from getting worse. You will have to continue to use Botox every 3-4 months to maintain the results but over time, you will weaken the muscles and most likely require less Botox to maintain a nice smooth forehead. Laser resurfacing and dermal fillers can be used for forehead fillers, but most likely not needed at your age.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the outstanding service at Skin and Skinnier, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results of my lipo 360 and BBL procedures. From start to finish, the process was impeccably organized, earning them a well-deserved 5-star rating in my book. The team at Skin and Skinnier not only delivered on their promises but exceeded my expectations. Dr. Torres and his staff were incredibly attentive, making sure I felt comfortable and informed every step of the way. Their communication was clear and prompt, which eased any pre-procedure nerves I had. The results speak for themselves – I am absolutely in love with my new look. The lipo 360 and BBL were performed with precision and care, achieving the exact contours and enhancement I desired. Dr. Torres' expertise is evident, and I couldn't be more grateful for his skillful hands. One aspect that particularly impressed me was their use of awake lipo over traditional methods. Awake lipo not only minimizes risks associated with general anesthesia but also allows for quicker recovery times and less post-operative discomfort. It's a modern approach that truly sets Skin and Skinnier apart. In conclusion, I highly recommend Skin and Skinnier to anyone considering cosmetic procedures. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to patient care are unmatched. Thank you, Dr. Torres, and the entire team for transforming my body and boosting my confidence. Skin and Skinnier has earned my highest praise and gratitude.
Got a skinny bbl, I did not think my butt would fluff and it was perfect. Thank you Dr. TORRES. I had to get back on my medication felt to sick! But …. The staff is great, the facility is clean I recommend nitrous oxide.
Everything about this procedure has been great! Steve Torres , wife , and team have been caring attentive, professional, procedure was and process was smooth , positive. Post op care has been crucial, I am able to reach out to doctors wife Mrs. Doctor Torres 24/7 post op for help guidance! I love this dream team!
I got a BBL in 2021, so this review is overdue. I had seen Dr. Torres and his staff for 2 years before this, and you can just tell, they all care for their patients! His work is AMAZING. Doris and the rest of the staff made me feel like family. My body still looks bangin' til this day and I most definitely will be back. If you are looking for a doctor, please think of Dr. Torres first :)
Dr. Torres made my body look insane. My friends have had 2 and 3 bbls and still don’t have beautiful results like mine. I’m not even kidding, if you want amazing results book with Dr. Torres like yesterday! My surgery was not painful, my recovery was a bit of a journey but that’s to be expected! No pain only took Tylenol. My only regret is not doing it sooner! Dr.Torres wife- Doris… she will be your recovery coach! She is there through all the ups and downs. Recovery is not glamorous, she is always there to remind you that you’re ok! That everything is normal and remind you soon everything will be healed up! I’m telling you- my body is extremely different. I hear about my small waist and big bum everywhere I go. Even strangers talk about my figure daily- in a good way! It’s not overdone. But so flattering, please message me for photos! I love Rachel- she works the front desk and helps with all things before surgery. I’m so thankful she was there with me. I just wish I could of seen her after surgery to give her a big hug. I appreciate Doris and Rachel so very much! Thank you for giving me my dream body!
I originally had a schedule bbl with a different Dr. And had some issues with them the Dr I was going to go to just through me off and the vibe changed once my surgery was paid for so we both agreed to cancel my appointment and get my refund and boy let me tell you I am glad it turned out that way. I set my appointment with Dr. Torres and from that moment I already felt such a great vibe. Dr. Torres is companionate, takes his time, and you can tell he loves what he does. You won’t ever feel like it’s just about the money with him. His staff is wonderful, Doris his wife is literally the best and I am so happy with everything, worth every penny. The location is beautiful and I can already tell I am going to love my results. If you want a Bbl or lipo , heck he even does Botox, lips , etc. GO TO DR. TORRES !!! You won’t regret it!
Surgery Date: 3/3/22 I waited to write this review till I was about six months post op and I hope this could help anyone looking to get this procedure done. I want to start off by saying from the moment I contacted Skin&Skinnier they have been nothing but helpful, kind & overall amazing. The whole team is truly so friendly. They really made me feel comfortable and put me at ease. Also, I am BEYOND happy I chose Dr Torres for my procedure because he’s an amazing surgeon. The day of the procedure went well. I was a little nervous but once I was actually there and everyone was so kind it made me feel safe and in good hands. Pain wise for me it was an uncomfortable feeling but bearable.. not so much painful just an odd feeling. I was fidgety but the meds they give you help a ton and I noticed being on my phone helped just to keep me distracted. Once the procedure is done they have you rest and make sure you’re feeling okay until you’re ready.. I went straight home after that which was about a 3-4 hour car ride and just slept mostly. The next day I did not take any of the pain medication they prescribed me I only took Tylenol extra strength for about 4 days and then I was fine. I was walking around at the park and making sure to follow all post op instructions. Dr Torres wife Doris is a literal angel! Any question or concern you may have she’s on it! Doris always answered right away no matter how silly or small the question may have been. She checks in with you frequently as well just to make sure you’re doing okay. I had my surgery on a Thursday so I called off for the day of and Friday and went back to work Monday. As the weeks went by it certainly got easier and I was pretty much back to my normal routine. I wore my faja consistently and kept up with my incisions. my one complaint of this whole experience was the healing process of my incisions they annoyed me to tears! But on the other hand I am blessed to say that was my only complaint. Also they are fully healed and the scars are lightening very nice. I use scar gel & silicone tape to help with this. FYI I started laying on my sides around 2 months and maybe I should have waited a little longer because my hip dips came back slightly.. nothing like before and I would say it’s more noticeable in pictures than in person but one hip is dented more than the other because I tend to lay on the same side every night! So that’s something to keep in mind. Recovery can be a lot of ups & downs but in the end I was so happy I did this for myself and the chin lipo really made such a difference for me as well I don’t have much else to say about it other than I’m happy I added that on! Overall i’m so happy with my results and it was 100% worth it. If I ever get any future work done I will certainly go back to skin&skinnier. if you have any questions feel free to DM me on IG @amvdrid or here i’d be happy to answer or send any pics! Updated on 10 Aug 2022: Also, wanted to share this is how my scars are looking now. Updated on 5 Sep 2022: Updated on 11 Apr 2023:
I’m not even sure where to start. There were so many things that set Dr Torres, his wife and staff apart. Scheduling my surgery was a breeze, they made me so comfortable and calm during the surgery that to tell you the truth I don’t even remember much of it except that I was totally at ease. After the procedure any question or concern I had was answered so quickly. The support I received was unmatched. I’m still in the healing phase but I can already tell that my results will be just as good as the care I received.
I really Can’t say enough good things! I’m a 35 year old mommy I had 360 lipo & bbl I must say I’m beyond happy with my results Dr.Torres is fantastic at what he does He’s super kind, easy to talk to, and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole consultation / surgery / recovery process. The staff is also very sweet and attentive. I had no nerves whatsoever. Thanks to everyone’s calm and reassuring energy. I love my results I’m excited to continue to see the progress over the next few weeks! Thank you so much to Dr Torres and the whole team, you guys are great!
I am very happy with my results. I am at 12 weeks post op mark. I had a 360 Liposuction BBL procedure here at Skin & Skinnier. With BMI of 22 and after having 2 kids, I knew what kind of results I wanted for myself and was realistic enough in terms of what to expect. Dr. Torres is a profound surgeon. He is very transparent and honest with what is and isn’t achievable. His wife Doris and the staff at Skin & Skinnier have been very helpful and attentive post-up. To date, even on the weekends, when I seldom needed to reach out with certain questions, their attentiveness / responsiveness is exceptional. The facility itself is clean and comfortable. Staff is friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I recommend Dr. Torres of Skin & Skinnier. Updated on 14 Jul 2022: I am at 12 weeks post op mark and am very happy with my overall results.
