I've contemplated getting a TT for many years and now I've finally decided to go for it. I've been to numerous consultations but weren't enthused by any of the doctors. I finally went to Evolution after seeing the results of a patient who had just completed a procedure. I didn't know her but when I saw her, I could tell she recently had surgery and I must say she looked damn good. I asked her where did she go and she highly recommended this location. I did research on the doctors at the facility (FB, IG, Realself, Google, BBB, others). I was very impressed. I then scheduled a consultation. Upon my first visit to Evolution, I was filled with amazement. It seemed as if nearly everyone in the office had a dream body. There were post-op patients there with banging BBL and stomachs on "flat-flat"!! I was in awe. I immediately booked a day for my procedure and left a deposit. I went in about two weeks later for labs and to meet with the doctors. I met with Dr. Zayas and Dr. Velilla. Initially i'd anticipated getting Lipo first with Dr. Velilla but I was unsure. After speaking with the doctors, I decided on TT first with Dr. Zayas. What I liked most about Dr. Zayas is that he broke everything down to me better than any of the other doctors that I've met with in the past. He told me what my options were as far as getting TT or Lipo and expressed his opinion of the outcome depending on the order of procedures. I know that I will need to get Lipo later on in order to maximize my results but for now I will be focusing on my stomach. I really hope to get a flat stomach.

Hi everyone. It's been 3 days since I've had my TT procedure and first off, I'm thankful that everything went well. The first night after my surgery, I was in excruciating pain and could barely sleep! I went back to the doctor the next day for my follow up and I was given a shot for the pain which was a great relief. He also prescribed stronger pain meds. They put me on 2 wraps which also contributed to the pain because the wraps have to be sort of tight. But overall, I feel fine. The doctor and nurse made me feel great after listening to how impressed they were with the outcome. The nurse said my belly button came out really cute so I can't wait to see it. In the meantime, I'm still very swollen so I think I'll wait to post more pics once the swelling decreases. Ok ttyl

You could have use the little shape and dent filler too without the donkey booty. This will be a one-time rodeo for me. So all or nothing. I had a c-section with my twins so I'm ready for the pain.

I'll be going back soon for liposculpture. I want a smaller waist and I want the fat to be removed from my back. Then I may get a little transfer to the derrière. I couldn't get everything at once due to the guidelines so it had to be in 2 separate procedures.

What was your height and weight going in?

I got quotes and consultations from 7 different PS. The 2 that wanted to separate the procedure stated that my BMI was too high and it would be best to separate the 2.

I love my PS and if you want a tight waist than he is the man. I love the DR results and wanted to go there so bad now matter how scared I was. Importantly I wanted to see and contact my doctor as much as I wanted and I just really couldn't get past me dealing with drains by my lonesome:( So when I found this doctor with snatched results and accolades, I was like YES!! THIS IS HIM:) plus he's the nicest ,coolest down to earth doctor I know!! When I cancelled my first consultation, he called me back and it was later in the day. "plus", He knew I was researching other doctors and having other consultations, he would wish me luck with everyone and if I needed more insight on the doctor he would research himself.'super plus" When I showed him my wish pic of a yili doll his response was you'll look way better than that!!!!! #super duper plus!!!

Not sure when your having your second procedure but if its after January and you see my amazing results which I've already pit into manifest you can come to Michigan and see Harake. #HARAKE BODY....LOL I MADE THAT UP AND HE LOVE IT!!

I am so disappointed with my outcome! I initially went to evolution to have Dr. Velilla perform my procedure but he threw me off on Dr. Zayas for a tt. After listening to the recommendations of Dr. V, I agreed. That was the worst thing I could've done. I look like I've been butchered! I've been more depressed now than I've ever been pre-surgery. It's been 6 months since my procedure and my stomach looks like I'm five months pregnant and I followed all the orders. Now I'm thinking about going elsewhere for a round two in an effort to fix this mess but I'm afraid!

Hi have you voiced your concerns to the Dr. Maybe now that you have healed they can do agressive lipo on your abdomen
March 21, 2017
Would you recommend dr zayas having a tummy tuck with him soon. But feel a little unsecure about him Please tell me your thoughts

Hi. I had my tt done 1/17/17 with him and waist lipo. I'm not happy with my tummy tuck because of the hard ball I have in my stomach. He sent me to get an ultrasound last week and I will see him next week to review the ultrasound and get this issue fixed. I'm hoping once this hard ball is gone my stomach will look amazing. I've gotten a lot of compliments but I know my body and I feel as though this hard ball and it bulges out is noticeable.

Was the hard ball there before the tummy tuck procedure ? Or is it liquid from that procedure ?
You paid extra for your lipo , so he shoul have made a small waist since your tummy was all tuck in :(
I'm not sure if I'm going with this Dr anymore.
It is a big scar and a major surgery I want him to be very detailed and careful with my scar and they way he will do the tummy tuck I'm not sure if he will be this way :(
Hopefully he takes care of the ball you have it really isn't fair if he doesn't
Let me know how it goes

Hi I had my surgery with him Jose Zayas 1/17/17 and I'm not pleased with the way I'm looking. I have a hard ball on the left side of my stomach. I had a tummy tuck and waist lipo which I paid extra for and no side looks like I had some lipo done and the left side you can't even tell. I have voiced my concerns and I will be seeing him next week. I wouldn't recommend to go back to him. I'm looking around to get lipo to the waist and upper stomach. I am aware that a tummy tuck will not fix the upper stomach area so you will always more than likely have to get lipo done to the upper stomach

It looked like he didnt even try to lipo you before doing the TT, he could have given you an avelar TT and lipoed as much as he wanted, wow their IG page is so deceiving.

Hello. my question to you is how would you expect a flat snatched stomach while being overweight? The dr should have advise you to get the weight down a little, then consider a tummy tuck. I went to Evolution MD and the staff did not seem on point with keeping schedules, so I never returned. I hope you find someone to fix your scars.
