I had my consultation with Dr Cortes in Houston a few weeks ago. His office was a little small and hot (the office staff insisted the A/C was broke), I expected more from a highly paid doctor but it could of been worse. I waited about 5-7 minutes in the lobby until I was called back. Once in the room, they ask you to undress and put a robe on. I waited about 10-15 mins for Dr to come in. As I waited I could hear everything in the next room, kind of awkward. At the time I only had a few questions (once I left they hit me so I advise you to write them down then ask at your consultation), he answered them all. He was very forward, didn't sugar coat anything or tell me what I wanted to hear which I could appreciate. He advised me to lose about 15 lbs, said I'd need a tummy tuck later which worried me (I didn't want saggy tummy skin). After I talked to Lucy (the person in charge of payment, etc) and she was nice and helpful but it seemed there was a huge lack of communication in the office. I left feeling a little uneasy about payment and my loan situation. The communication I've received from the office before and after my consultation has been good. I really have no complaints so far and I hope it stays that way. So I have a few months to lose the weight and I should be good to go by October! Any questions please ask! I'm on here just to give my experience beginning to end! I'll post before pictures after I lose the weight recommended.

Is that the first consultation you've had? Will you be going to other doctors for a consultation?

I had a consultation a couple years back with a doctor here in Dallas but his work wasn't impressive and he quoted me the same price. I wasn't "sold" on the doctor and didn't have the support I needed then like I do now.

I'm sure you will have great results! Hopefully you will also get to consult with others too! If nothing else for reassurance! Good luck and I can't wait to see your results!

Thank you! I might consult with other doctors, because I'm worried that I'll have extra skin after the lipo is done for the bbl.

Honey don't do it. Inbox or go to mzphatbooty blog and ask her about how soooo many patients had nightmare results from him. Go to her latest blog and click on message and ask her. Honey please listen. $10,500 is a lot. Go to Dr Mel Ortega at Spectrum Aesthetics in Miami - his hands are magic. BBL is $4500 with 8 areas of lipo. TT is $4000 with 2 areas of lipo. Honey go on RealSelf or let mzphatbooty tell you about the scary results soooo many women got from Cortes. Save your money.

Lol! Like if that doctor was so good she/he wouldn't feel the need to advertise and promote him so much. Ugh
August 7, 2014
Please please ask mzphatbooty to give you blog names of just 20 patients that went in the last year and see how they result turned out and what happened. Then decide if you want to go. Its your choice your body but when women stick together and want to save each other LISTEN.

Surgery date scheduled!

I've been doing tons and tons of research on the whole procedure, healing, doctors, etc. With that being said, I felt that it was now or never! My deposit is paid and mid September is my surgery date! Yes I'm nervous and scared but I have support from my husband that gets me through. I do feel guilty for spending the money on a surgery for myself instead of applying it to my family or daughter although we have all we need. Guess it's just the responsible side of me?? I have a month to lose 10-15 lbs. I hope I can do it!!

Financing options

User Avatar
CurvaceousToBe
I recommend Surgery Loans, they're very helpful Zander don't lie or hide anything. Care credit informed me that they only approve people with a credit score of at least 730. Hope that helps some!

hmmmm I think you are the first person to recommend surgery loans over care credit... I will look into that and compare the two
User Avatar
August 8, 2014
Care credit said they offered 6 months no interest but then changed it and said they only offer that at "promotion periods". I just put my honest opinion so nobody is taking a hit twice on their credit when it can be avoided!!

August 8, 2014
DEFINITELY dont want that. Not sure if I will just pay in cash or not, but I don't want to keep hitting my credit trying to find the right company, so thanks

No problem. I decided to finance only to help build up my credit even more.
