Disappointed With My Revision - Houston, TX

I Need New Butt and Hip Implants With Lipo. Need A Revision.

I saw Dr.Cortes 5 years ago and I am so highly disappointed! I spent a fortune seeing him twice for surgery and I now need to find myself another surgeon. I need bigger butt implants for one. The size of implant Dr.Cortes used on me is just 500 cc and I had told him I wanted bigger but he said this size is big enough for my butt so I trusted him. Such a disappointment with this small size. The fat on my hips he injected at 2 different times is practically gone and my hips are now squarish. A lot of the fat on my butt cheeks he inserted around the implants have disappeared. He lipo'd my tummy 2 times and it isn't flat, its such a weird shape. I heard he has done the same thing to other girls as well. I have so much back fat that it bothers me to have a bathing suit on or even lingerie. I told him to lipo my back well to remove the rolls but it didn't turn out that way. The fat stayed and never disappeared.

I need help in searching for another Dr who is amazing with butt implants. I also want hip implants too. It will make more sense for me. This way i will always have hips and it will stay. I want a tiny waist as well. I love how Dr.Salama does a BBL but I heard he isn't good with butt implants so that's not a good Dr for me. I heard of Dr.Johnny Franco, Kenneth Hughes and Dr.Stanton. Which Dr do you think will give me dramatic results? I want a very big booty, hip implants with extreme lipo. Please help me out girls? I have seen some great results of girls who have gone overseas but I think its not too safe to travel abroad to get any surgery done. I have heard many horror stories as well.

Here are a few wish pics that I like. I would like something similar. I will take some pics of myself later on and post.

Have you considered Dr. Dowbak, Dr. Blinski, or Dr. Harry Itsiful in Miami?

Never heard of these surgeons. I will research them now. Have you used any of these 3 drs?

I AM STILL VERY ANGRY AT CORTES!!

I haven't posted in months on RS, I have been very busy with work among other things. Just wanted to touch base with some of you girls. I have had quite a number of private msgs and i was only able to get back to all of you today. I hope y'all doing great around this holiday season. Well here is my update;
I am HIGHLY disappointed in my revision with Dr.Cortes. I am now almost 6 months post op and my body looks pretty much the same as it was before my revision, can you believe that!! Is still got lots of fat on my flanks and back. My arms look the same too but I couldn't care less about them since i am working out 4 times a week now. Even though i train and eat well its hard to remove this stubborn fat on my body. He is the worse Dr at doing lipo, he does NOT do extreme lipo in the least, he left lots of fat on my body even though he said he will be very aggressive with the lipo he did on me. My inner legs are discoloured and have holes. They are ugly and it bothers me. I feel like he did a BOTCHED job on me. I don't deserve this. I make money using my body and he did not do a good job on both of my surgeries. I now have to seek another surgeon to fix my issues but I don't think i can do it before next fall or winter. I have been depressed for quite sometime because of what he did to me and plus for all the money i have spent on both surgeries. The hospital where he works at also contacted me a few months ago and they couldn't understand why he was charging me for a revision. She said its [RS bleep]! She said i should not have paid a dime for a revision. Honestly, I paid $6000.00 for my revision because i thought he would make me look like amazing but that was not the case. He is ALL ABOUT MONEY. He does not care about what you. He does a lousy job and wants to get paid big bucks. I trusted him to give me what i wanted but got disappointed every time. I reached out to him a few months ago and he did not want to listen to what i had to say. I know he would definitely listen to me if i gave him another $6000.00 again for a 2nd revision though. I am royally pissed off at him and I will fix my issues next year. I really have no idea on how ladies trust this man in doing any type of surgery on them. Your chances on being happy after your surgery are very slim girls.

Me and you both hun! I hope all goes well with your second revision. It's hard but keep your chin up. I have actually gained weight because when I was losing my butt was going down and no hips:( so now Ive gained the weight and my butt is a lot better and my hips are coming back so im strictly working on my abdominal area and toning everywhere else. I will go for a revision but in about a year.

December 23, 2014
I noticed that too. If you diet too much your butt will go down. I hope I find a good Dr soon for my next bbl. I don't want to lose any weight because I will need it for my butt and hips. Yes I want a bit of more hips. Most of my fat is gone from my revision. I would say 75% of it is lost, its unbelievable. Will you be getting your next bbl in Texas?
December 23, 2014
Yea, that's why I'm doing squats and mostly toning. I'm not to sure where I wanna get my revision. There aren't any good PS in Texas so I know I will be going out of state. I'm also still on my job hunt but have some savings so I still have some ways to go! Most likely they will tell you to gain weight again so they can give you the results you really want. So have you found the PS you feel comfortable with or still looking? It's also crazy and believable that you were charged so much for the revision like the hospital said. As you know he doesn't care or he would be fixing all his issues with all his clients. Oh well, I just really hope you find someone to give you the results you're looking for!

No I don't know who to go to for my revision as yet. It is ridiculous that he doesn't fix his patients body issues. A revision means youare not ttotally happy with your surgery and that the Dr should address the issue. Dr.Cortes ignores every woman who told him that they aren't happy with the results of their surgery. Does this man think he is God and that he doesn't make any mistakes??

I thought you were happy

December 23, 2014
Hun I haven't been happy since I had my revision. Read all my posts. This Dr is a ridiculous one. I would love to sue him.
December 23, 2014
Sorry to hear that. :(
December 24, 2014
Girl god only knows.... It just stink That we didnt know before but its all good. I mean some girls look great but mostly every girl this past year has been unhappy. There's nothin we can do you know. So don't be so upset doll because if he doesn't care than we are just disappointing ourselves. I know it will be kinda tough for youto gain the weight bbecause of your fat cells... In my case my stomach has plenty still from him not doing a lot of my upper abdomen. Some if it is supposedly visceral fat so imma just have to deal with that.. I do hope you find a surgeon and in know time we will both be gettin our rounds again...
December 24, 2014
My reply is on top. Don't know why it did that...

December 27, 2014
I know how you feel. I'm a year post op and I still look the same love. He's awful. I am going back to Salama to do a revision. I trust Salama. I messed up not going to him, kicking myself in the ass for not going back to him. June is when my tt will be fixed and also getting my boobies lifted also. It sucks how there's so many unhappy patients.

Pics in corset

User Avatar
redgoddess68
Took a few pics tonight to show you dolls that waist training does work if you keep at it for months and years. My waist is naturally a 27 but with my cincher its a 24. If you decide to buy a cincher from the Ebay store that I recommend, just buy a cincher with 3 clips in the front since these ones are shorter on your body. Its perfect for us short girls :-)

Look at the armpit fat still hanging on my damn armpits. I dont know why I am left with this fat still. I need to get this lipo'd in a few months cause its driving me crazy. Im hoping doing certain exercises that im doing fir back will minimise this [RS bleep].

August 27, 2014
Thats so sweet!! My hubby tries to get me not to think about it because it makes me upset and so he gets even more upset than me. He keeps telling me im beautiful and then grabs me and says i love you chunks!! Im like nooooooooo dont call me that and i get upset all over again haha. I know he means well tho. I can only imagine how your hubby feels. traveling all this way two times and of course how costly it has been. It's to make you happy:)

Why doesn't cortez just be honest with you and tell you why he left some back fat. I see what you mean now. It's not too bad Hun you look great however if he took more fat from ur back armpit it would make your torso look more svelt.
User Avatar
August 27, 2014
Now you see what I mean hun? I will show you my back once I see my back exercises aint doing much. I feel pudgy cause of the left over fat he didn't get out of me. There's no limit on how much cc's he lipos out of me so why am I left like this? Man its [RS bleep]!
User Avatar
August 27, 2014
I understand Hun. Personally for me back fat is the hardest area to lose weight. I was very specific to my doc about that bc he also would leave some back fat on other patients. Obviously we can't target just that area through exercise. I don't like my arms. In 6 months I'm getting a revision just lipo to my arms. If it jiggles and u can grab it... It's fat :/
August 27, 2014
I wonder if he just gets nervous to take out almost to where he thinks its to much but I seen girls who are literally sucked dry. He says he cant take out all the fat. Thats what he told me about my stomach. Lord only knows what his mind is thinking when he worked on us. If he took so long on your surgery I would have thought it would be perfect to your needs.
User Avatar
August 27, 2014
Yes lol if u can grab it its definitely fat. I will get the damn thing f** lipo'd again for the 3rd time lol. This is insane. Should of been done the first time. How much to lipo your arms hun?
User Avatar
August 27, 2014
I hear you. I told him too to suck all the fat out of me and look where I am today :-( My expectations were not met. He could of done more to me but just plain didn't. Im never going to Houston for sx again.
August 27, 2014
Awwwww, noooooo. Come back. One day ill go to Canada. I have always wanted to go and its crazy because new articles I have read are about Canada and I was watching a Katt Williams show on tv last night that was is Ontario! I was like hmmm those are signs and hopefully I keep meet you;)

Houston is far too congested. Canada is a bit different I find. You would love Toronto and go see the Niagara Falls too.
