WORTH IT$4,500
Finally decided to book with Dr. Dowbak at Spectrum Aesthetics in Miami Florida. My surgery is on March 7th with only 2 months to go! Flying from California and staying at my sister-in-laws house (thank god, because I'll be saving money from not going to a recovery house!) Posting wish pics and before pics soon(:

I heard from someone else's review on here as well, it scares me that they wouldn't even tell me because that's a huge deal!
January 11, 2018
Yes this is a serious matter, they know he had alot of patients so they want the business for themselves

This whole thing with Spectrum lying about having Dr.Dowbak is so frustrating, I think I'm going to call Elena at New Life tomorrow and see if they will honor my deposit with him. Did you originally have your surgery set with Dr. Dowbak at Spectrum?
January 11, 2018
Yes spectrum lied to me also. They told me that he is still working with spectrum an that he got a contract with them. Yea I call Elena also in they would honor your deposit.Yes I have surgery with Dr Dowbak on March 6

Hey girl my surgery is scheduled the same day as yours with Dowbak
February 2, 2018
He has been gone for a while now, they are manipulating people by saying he is still there and then not refunding the deposit! There has to be something that can be done about it! But i know new life did honor some deposits because a lot of people are saying that
January 11, 2018
You would have to show them proof that you paid your deposit.
January 11, 2018
yes you would have to show proof that you paid for the deposit

Had you already paid a deposit to Spectrum Aesthetics for Dr Dowbak to do your surgery?

Yeah, I was going to call them but they ended up calling me and told me that I can't take it back. I just asked them if they can keep my deposit toward my breast augmentation
User Avatar
January 20, 2018
with Dr.Ortega at Spectrum and she said that's okay. I don't mind because I was going to get Dr. Dowbak to do my bbl and Dr.Ortega for my breast augmentation a couple months after my bbl. So I'm not really losing any money

Okay so Spectrum called me and told me Dr.Dowbak isn't with them anymore even though I already knew (I was just too busy to call), so I'm going with Dr.Dowbak at New Life. My surgery is still scheduled for March 7th. My deposit that Spectrum is keeping is going toward my breast aug in June with Dr.Ortega so I'm not losing any money (yay!)

Ohhhh my god, time flies by when you work 2 jobs non-stop and are trying to get prepared for your surgery!
I'm flying out to Miami March 5th and staying with my sister-in-law. My surgery is March 7th! I bought a membership through Care.com and hired a personal caretaker for 1 week, I made sure she was legit and even paid her a deposit in advanced, she's so nice!
I feel like I'm running around like a chicken with its head cut off, New Life sent me my pre-op instructions a week late (which made me angry but whatever) and it's hard to find time in the day to take care of everything I need to get done. I literally just got my ekg and medical clearance done yesterday and I'm doing my labs(blood work) tomorrow... talk about cutting it close! Lol! I have to fax all of my info and results to them this coming Monday. Thank god for insurance and a super nice mother-in-law who works at a clinic, I got my ekg and medical clearance for free.
I'm 14 days pre-op and just now starting to take my medications.. they told me to take 1000mg of Vitamin C, Hema-Flex(iron), Floradix(iron), and Folic Acid.. Each one 3 times a day everyday. Girls, try not to take your iron supplements too early before you're surgery, because too much iron isn't good for you!
On another last minute topic.. I'm just about to order my fajas, but I don't know what size I'll be after surgery or how swollen my body will get, I don't want to order a bunch so I'll probably just get 1 XL and 1L.. I don't know. I'm 5"6 and 163 pounds. Any advice on size recommendations?

How much did you pay for a caretaker
User Avatar
March 20, 2018
You can pay $20 for a 1 month membership on Care.com and post the job offer up. I offered to pay $11 for a caretaker and I got many responses from people and their resumes.
