So this is how my body is currently. I have lost some weight (due to nausea associated with migraines) so some of my butt is smaller, I didn't gain enough weight for Dr. Cortes to add any weight to my hips but I am going in for his hourglass tummy tuck and hopefully he can do it then....

Hi gals ... Just wanted to update my progress. So far the bruising has gone down a lot but a lot of pain has actually came back . We had a cold front come in and it seems to not be great for me. My inner thighs hurt bad and it's still a struggle to move well. Not to mention it is very lumpy (have been using prescribed cream and faja) Called doctors office and Lucy said she will have Deanne call me back. I'm okay with fact that they had to take fat from there but not thrilled... Doc Cortes told me at consult that he wasn't going to take any fat from there because my legs didn't harbor much fat. He wasn't at my pre op and I had gained the weight he told me too but he ran out and didn't get to do any 'hips' on me. So as of now my waist is still at 1 inch and a half smaller and I still looks square from the front . I'm hoping I get more shapely with time but kind of bummed he wasn't at pre op to let me know to try to gain more because the weight I had gained wasn't sufficient. He wasn't at post op either and I spent a total of maybe five minutes right before surgery (where I asked him if I can show him wish pics to refresh his memory on what I hoped for. He repeatedly said 'I can't make you look like anyone else. ' I felt like I almost forced him to look. I KNOW that expectation of looking exactly like pic is unrealistic but how was I going into surgery without showing what I liked? 10k isn't chump change .. ) he came into room for less than two minutes after surgery and that is last I have heard or seen him. I wish I had the great interactions others have had with him. I am very easy to please and not at all a strong personality to deal with so I don't feel like I was being harsh. Deanne is wonderful and every interaction with her has been great. She has been my calm in this. I am still satisfied as my butt looks great and I look so much better than before. But as someone who has worked both at doctors offices and customer service for over 14 years, I can say it has been subpar at most. They were dealing with my body and I only felt as if Deann was showing care for how I looked and felt. I will see how rest of my healing goes.

I honestly feel the same wa y about Cortes. Ive even cried a couple nights regretting going to him. I don't feel that he was that interested in me either. Fir my post op he literally stepped in and stepped out. He didn't even take after photos of me. I guess I wasn't his best work to put on his website or instagram. Its just sad because I really like him from other peoples surgery stories. Its just a little disappointing feeling like another number when were spending so much money.

Ya I am a little disappointed. I had to arrange four hour drives for consult, pre op and post op. And to only see doc at consult and surgery wasn't the greatest . I look better but compared to my great breast aug surgery, his bedside manners were ok at best .

4 trips total that were 8 hours a piece. That's a lot of time and effort:/

Yes I agree. My travel time is 4 hours to his office as well.

I am sorry you had to experience this first hand from your doctor.
He seems to be extremely busy and over booked. Many doctor's are like that see you for 5 min and ok,see you next time and take care. I understand this is major surgery and need more after care,but i am happy you like your results and that counts too,
Happy Monday!

Yes the results are coming along okay. I'm happy so far for results. I'm making sure my results are known as well. If they come along half as well as I hope I still will be satisfied.

I pray you're more than satisfied and LOVE your new body! :)
Stay positive.

Hey.So sorry to hear that.It doesn't seem like a happy experience at all.I say concentrate on ur recovery,and am sure ur results should cheer u up.I have to say that"I can't make u lookalike anybody else" was just wrong.We all want what we don't hve and somebody else has..that's why we go to these drs.Try to ignore the negative,it'll speed up ur recovery.xo
