Hello I came across realself when I was online looking at cosmetic procedures, I really didn't know what I wanted to have done and still not sure but I know is time for a change, having 2 kids that are all growing up beautifully and a hubby that gives us and him anything we can afford and thought it was time for the change i wanted, I noticed I have this peculiar timing in goals, got married before I was 20, had all my kids before I was 30 and now I want the body I have always wanted before 40, only have 3 years left to do this, so here I am, let me start by saying I have always struggle with my weight and being less than 5 feet tall it really shows, looking thru procedures and seeing which one might have the biggest impact in my body, I knew I wanted lipo not to loose weight but to shape my body and start from there, I have always had problems with my upper body which is always bigger than the rest of my body and my family and I are always joking that I look like a wrestler..lol,, well i came across BBL here in RS, and loved the results, funny enough I was looking at all the reviews for like a month, some where good some not too good, but the doctor I noticed the most because of his aggressive lipo was Dr. Cortes, and loved that he was here in Houston. I schedule my appointment with him back on June, since It was my first time going into anything like this I was extremely nervous, the personnel in the office were what you should expect in a dr. Office profesional and polite, I came early to my app and only waited 15-20 min in the full waiting room., meanwhile they gave me a bundle of papers to sign and fill, when they brought me in to the room they asked me to undress and to wear the nice black robe they had hanging on the back of the door. Waited less that 5 min when he came in, I was speechless, frozen, nervous. Then came the big question... What is you want done or something like that..lol, stuttering I said I wanted lipo and since my booty has gotten down I wanted some transfered there, he asked me to open my robe and started graving my fat!, I don't even feel comfortable my hubby graving my fat, I was a mess in my mind just telling myself to stay strong...lol, he told me you are good don't loose any or gain any weight, but told me that I will need a tummy tuck later on, I really don't want to get one but the doctor knows better :-), it didn't lasted long, and he is a straight to the point guy, wished I could had asked him some questions I had but when he asked me I froze, I do that a lot. He then told me that the nice lady was going to give me my quote to get dressed and she was going to come back with it. Got dressed and she came and guided me to a small office, gave me the quote and without thinking twice gave her the down payment and set the date step 23 2013!, I was excited I was finally going take my first step about the feeling I get everytime I put form fitting clothes!, since my appointment my husband was confused why I would not start the diet I told him I was going to start, (I didn't told him about the surgery until 3 weeks later..lol, ups) and for the first time in my life I wasn't worrying about loosing weight :-), loved the feeling.

Also check out::: Spectrum Aesthetics in Miami... Dr Mel Ortega... His BBL with 8 areas of lipo is $4500 includes everything. I was going to Dr Cortes myself but other Realself members scared me and quickly changed my mind.

Welcome to #teamcortes. It will help if you look through a bunch of Dr.Cortes' patients pic and blogs. Some are very detailed. You will be able to get a pretty good idea of what to expect. I just had bbl on Monday and haven't had the energy to type a long ,detailed account yet. If you have questions send me a message. The girls who went before me were very helpful. I hope to Ben able to help those after me. Good luck
