ATTENTION: ALL THOSE AFFECTED BY CORTES!!!

I contacted Janiris to get my medical records and she said she would send it to me but she never did. She strung me along for 1 months and lied to me. She even said she mailed it yet I never received anything. I wanted those records for various reasons and also as my personal reference.
Eventually I decided to contact the hospital directly to ask for my medical records and the medical records did not say anything of substance. Meaning Cortes just put what he wanted to in the medical records and left out important information such as how many cc's were put in, where he did lipo, what type of lipo he did, and other crucial information. Also, I needed to know that information just in case another doctor treated me but the report did not mention anything relevant. I just needed to know exactly what was done!!
This brings me to my main reason for posting this. You have rights. So if you were a victim of Cortes or were affected by Cortes in any way I would recommend that you contact the Attorney General's Office of Texas or the General Counsel of Texas, or any other entity that deals with advocating for the public. You may also be able to contact a Consumer Division for the state of Texas or you may be able to contact the Texas Medical Board. You may also want to contact your local news. These are options for those who cannot afford a personal lawyer or for those who can afford a personal lawyer. You have options, so please look into them.
There are also lawyers that take on cases pro bono (entirely for free) or that take on a case for free initially and only get paid a portion, in the end, if they win the case.

How are you doing?
thank you for sharing your experience I am sorry ps is elective and you are supposed a to be happy when it's all done again I am sorry
He messed me up now too
What did he mess up on? I'm liking at getting a mommy makeover from him and I'm getting scared now!!
If you look at my page you will see I was always happy never said anything negative but at the end you will what happened.. Don't get scared but I will say do why you think is best..
I suggest for lipstickkim86 to look elsewhere. I had a tummy tuck and knew 2nd day that it wasn't done right, I wasn't pulled tight at all and muscles weren't done properly. I still had a huge @$$ roll and my mons area is hanging, it's gross. I definitely wouldn't have him touch my breasts after seeing the one patient named Lily, go on his reviews on here and click on lowest rating, he jacked her up bad. That's why I'm going back to Salama to fix this mess up. Cortes needs to just retire already. I see a lot of Cortes patients who are unhappy and going elsewhere to get his half @$$ed work fixed, botched job I should say.
Yea we have learned our lesson
Omg I sent them an email of all the negative I found and I asked him a it it in Instagram today and posted your complaint and he blocked me!!! That's enough for me to say he can go to hell shady ass [RS bleep] instead of being professional about it! Omg thanks ladies so much I think I'm just going to stick with the expensive surgeons from here in Colorado.
Omg really!!! Well he probably didn't know what to say lol
Lmao.. exactly, he didn't know what to say. Just like when I complained to his @$$ that I didn't like it, he shut me up and didn't want to deal with me. These girls on Instagram need to get on realself to see the truth. Cortes over charges for shitty work anyways. You can get better work done with someone who's good at what they do. What's funny is that he's posting a lot more of his tummy tucks (may not even be his work to begin with to be honest), which I don't understand why... guilty conscious I guess. You're better off in your state or look into Salama. All I can say is, do not go with well.. you know who.
Ya no I'm very happy I found this page another girl had him on snap chat and he was posting he did like 5 operations in one day I was like how in the hell does he have time! But a friend recommended me to dr.miami I need to look into his work
Which doctor in Miami?
I had a consult for Dr Cortes this Saturday think I should cancel
Everything you explained happened to me as well. I just updated my review after about 2 years. I wish I would have seen bad reviews like this before I made the mistake choosing Dr. Cortes. His follow up care is terrible!!!!
add me also to this. He destroyed my body

I don't know if it's a burn or what...
Hi everyone, it's been a while since my last post and I thought, let me do a little update for you all! I actually forgot to tell you all about a black patch (I don't know what it is) that Wilberto Cortes left me with, on the side of my belly/oblique area immediately after my BBL. I thought it was normal and would go away and waited patiently, but it has not gone away and it's been more than a year since my surgery. I don't know...maybe it's a burn? I posted pictures so you can take a look.Ten months after my BBL with Wilberto, I had a second BBL with a different doctor. There is an improvement in my shape and butt size. However, most of the problems, such as butt dents and butt asymmetry that Wilberto left me with, which I complained about in the previous post, are still there. Thus, choose your 1st BBL surgeon wisely. Oh and I'm going to have a tummy tuck next month because I have loose abdominal skin and hopefully the surgeon who will perform my tummy tuck, will be able to remove that black patch off of my belly at the same time. For more details on my 2nd BBL and my tummy tuck, you can check out my other reviews.

I also had a horrible experience with Coates. I seen this man for my 1st bbl and revision too. I paid $6000 for my revision and still looked almost the same, not much of a change. Pissed me royally off! I emailed him numerous times complaining but all he said was that I look great and there's nothing more he can do for me. If I lived in the states I would of sued his ass.
Oh, I remember reading your review when I first made my own review on Cortes. I'm surprised you went back after your 1st bbl :-( he could care less and he shows it! Don't let distance stop you if you want to take legal action. Maybe we could all look into a class action lawsuit for all of us who were affected...
I'm not sure where to start regarding to sue him. I don't have thousands of dollars to do so. Yes it was really stupid of me to go back to him a 2nd time. All he cares about is money. We all know this. I can tell you that he does not have a great reputation. I think he's the worse bbl surgeon out there. Were all living proof of that.
Maybe we could just get info first and talk to a lawyer to ask questions. That might be a start just to know our options. He is very much so the worst bbl surgeon hands down. It's surprising that so many girls on here are still singing his praises and still having bbl's with him. Yes everyone has different experiences, but he consistently does bad work.
Sorry I'm late posting, but I just found you. I think you look good. I was wondering if perhaps the dimple on your bum could possibly be fat that your body absorbed. I know fat would not absorb equally all over. I would think your compression suit/lymph messages in beginning would move fat around a tiny bit and fill everything out. It just obviously there. And if it was there during surgery all one has to do is rub the bum and move fat around. So what I'm saying is it seems like it happen after the fact. However, ( I can only see it from 1 picture the flatness on the side of bum. Now that is from him OR you when lieing
down/sitting in beginning you caused a fat shift that caused a flat area. Or again he didn't put enough in that area. Sorry you did get the results you wanted. You do look lots better though. Where is 2nd review from your surgery with dif doc? Take care, God bless

Thanks so much. I didn't sit for entire 3 months after my bbl so I think it's Cortes' fault. If you click my screen name you can access all of my reviews, including my review of 2nd bbl w/ different doctor :-)
I know soooo many girls personally that have amazing results from Cortes. It looks like you should have got a TT first which is why you had the fold your skin didn't retract. There are limits to what a dr can do here in Texas. He should have told you to have a TT or lower your bmi prior to surgery.
The folds were not my only issue as I mentioned in both posts above. It makes no sense to get a TT before a bbl because you need that fat, even doctors on here have said that too. Many girls have that abdominal fold Wilberto gives. Did you see the link to a review from a skinny girl that I posted above? She has those folds as well. Those folds went away after my 2nd bbl with a different doctor and now I just have loose skin. This means Wilberto's very aggressive way of how he lipoed or his use of a large cannula, instead of a thin cannula caused the lumps and dents. He never told me anything before my surgery. He just took my money, did a terrible job, and that was it. He is not the type of doctor that will tell you anything to warn you of risks or anything. I'm just stating facts and that was my experience, but if you want to have surgery with him, go right ahead sweetie.
Horrible doctor! Takes your money and then leaves you high and dry! I had amazing results until I had him fix a hip\right cheek that was noticeable bigger and was left with a HUGE indentions from bad lipo work! When I complained and wanted it fixed I was told I need a TT but was never told that prior.. just horrible management and doctor.. I would NEVER recommend him
Yup.. can't stand that Dr! Had to get my tummy tuck redone. Go look at my redone job. No comparison at all. Cortes sucked at my tt and many others too.
Who have you chosen for your round 2
I already had round 2 honey, with Dr. Fisher and a tummy tuck. You can click my screen name to see separate reviews on each procedure...
