After reading one of your last posts you are correct 100%!!!! If you make any negative comments while still being a patient, you will get the worst of the worst treatment and attitude from the Dr.

Yup. Been there done that. He dropped me like a bad habit. Lmao... it's all good though. Truth is, I would never go back to him and I will keep speaking my mind and speak about my progress. Freedom of speech. Don't let this dr scare you. They're good at that. Hope everything gets fixed. Oh and by the way, Salama is way better than Cortes... In My Opinion!

Last Dr. Visit 10 weeks Post Op

scaredbutanxious
Well that was an interesting visit. I didn't get any cortisone shots for my scar tissue not because I didn't want them. Dr. Said I should allow my body to heal so I hope they are gone by 6 months. I asked could I come back in 6 months for shots if the scar tissue hasn't healed. And the Dr. said that could just be how my body heals and that I should continue to get massages. He took more pictures cant wait to get those. I think he thinks me thinking I am losing volume is in my head maybe it is. I will wait 6 months post op and find a dermatologist to see what are my options at that time to get rid of the scar tissue if I still have any. I must say the dr's demeanor seemed different... If you didnt know he DOES read realself. Got to see Mariel and she was very helpful and gave me some great tips.

FYI if you don't sign the consent for your photos to be used on the site it's a 100 per visit after your first post op visit. And cost for cortisone shots if needed.

I will re-evaluate my results at 6 months should fluff by then.

I am considering getting round 2 with Dr. Salama in 2014... I get excited just thinking about it!!! Fiancé is on board if I decide to love that man soooo much!!!

For those that might ask or wonder while I am gone.
Do I see a difference in my over all shape? Of course!

I had NO shape before my surgery and I have a shape now. I might want MORE projection and MORE hips but I am not blind to the fact that Dr. Cortes DID change my shape for the better.

I will post my final review when I make 6 months post op. I will NOT be posting ANYTHING else until then. Good bye for now:)

My parting advice don't post any negative comments no matter how you feel if you know your Dr. reads Real Self until you are done with all of your post op visits.

This comment was very interesting. I agree with you 100%. My attitude from day one has been positive because I know for a fact that " Whatever the mind can concieve and believe, the mind can achieve." Whatever thoughts your mind feeds upon, your mind attracts to you. You have to stay positive. I knew from day one that I would need more becaue just one surgery would not fix it all. You have done a great job with me and all of the girls I look at. Most of us went from "no shape" or "horrible shapes" like in my case, to a beautiful hourglass figure which gets better day by day. Thanks for responding to this blog and thanks for doing such a great job! I look foward to my upcoming surgery and I already know that i will be satisfied and expect great results.

I have to say -I think you look great! I read the doctor's reply as well and he is willing to give you additional pictures-post them! It would be only be fair so other patients thinking about using him can make a fair decision. You have to not only look at the size of your buttocks but look how much smaller your waist is! There is a much bigger "dent" if we can call it now, from your waist to your buttocks giving it a difference appearance. You look great!

I concur... It's a shame that Dr.Cortes's comment was removed. He made valid points that need to be read by others.
October 14, 2013
Removing my comment only proves one of my points on how it is becoming increasingly difficult for surgeons to express their opinion and defend themselves. I will contact realself and ask them how having a fair debate is a violation of realself guidelines.

Great move! You really should. This is a "classic" move that blog owners make when someone makes a comment on their page that they either don't agree with or find offensive. POOF! It disappears.

Look at your wish photo scared but anxious that says it all the girl there just has a nicely shaped behind but not a projected butt....Dr.Cortes did exactly what you told him you wanted.

Losing more volume

scaredbutanxious
So looks like now I am starting to lose volume on my hips that sucks! That's what I loved the most:(

Measurements for hips and butt now are 40 inches. And I gained 5 lbs to see if it would help but it just went to my flanks and stomach.

Hey girlie, I just went back and looked at your comparison pictures. I'm going to keep it real, Dr. Cortes gave YOU very good projection and a very nice slope! I love the way he shaped you and judging from your side profile you look bombdiggity! Lack of projection has seemed to be a issue for a lot of his dolls lately. Seems to me that the best results are achieved when you are close to your ideal body weight. But you look REALLY GOOD!!! (IMO) What are you doing at this point to address the volume loss? If you don't mind, can you post a photo directly from the rear? I would like to see your hourglass. I know he gave you one!

Pic back view straight on ? Or front view straight on? As for volume loss I am trying to keep my weight close to 142 which was what I weighed day of surgery. My ideal weight is 125-130. I was 135 for my consultation and dr Cortes said to gain 8 lbs for what I wanted. I definitely have a shape now but my fear is as the months progress I will lose more and more until the only results I see will be my liposuction. I accepted my results 2 weeks ago I loved my hips I thought they were the perfect size! But now I have lost more volume from them. I will discuss this with him for my next visit for cortisone shots.
