I've been researching for a couple of years now and went to a few consultations. I actually made a appointment with Dr. Stanley Hegg...tragically he passed. I am sad for his lost.

Now I'm back to trying to find the right Doctor. So stressful. I am considering Dr. Yily from Dominican Republic. She has been corresponding with me via email and has been consistent.

I'm wondering if anyone can give me some suggestions on this Doctor, as well as the traveling process.

I was also a client of Dr. Hegg before he passed I was suppose to have surgery the week after. So like you I had to search again. But I found Dr. Ghada Afifi from Los Angeles area. Her results are very similar to dr hegg as well as her prices. Look at her clients esp. Betsie she has nice results. I'm scheduled for surgery next month already too. Her wait list isn't bad at all.

Oh and I'm from the Bay Area (live in Hawaii) which is why I was going with dr hegg since my family is there. But now im going to fly to the bay from Hawaii first and then to Orange County airport and my round trip was only $130 with southwest from sfo to Orange County so consider that it's not bad going down to LA.

Can anyone tell me if I should buy my own girdles?? Dr. Cortes will provide 2 but I'm wondering if I need more. Additionally, any suggestions on massages?

Dr. Cortes was amazing.

Dr. Cortes was amazing. He listened very well to what I expected from my results and gave me his recommendations. You also have many follow-up appointments after the procedure. Everyone in his office is very kind. Four months after my surgery, I am very satisfied and happy. I thank God for making the decision...
