It was a misunderstanding ...he got my name confused with another patient. No hard feelings, my appointments/ post follow up care still continues with Dr. Cortes.

Did you ever get your refund for Deanna's mistake?

Wow... wish I would've seen this before my tummy tuck. So typical of Cortes and respond the way he does. I would've searched for another Dr that's for sure.

Why did you give him more than one star?

Your story breaks my heart. I hope he found a way to make it up to you and fix it

From Dr. Cortez's office - I was just informed I have been discharged.

I wasn't given a reason today but the office manager will call me tomorrow to let me know why ?? Really ...the same person I have been calling for the past month is finally going to return my call but this time to tell me that I have been discharged -- trust me, I will post the reason why.

It's hard to believe that a procedure that was done with this PS in June of 2013 and my results don't match what I paid for so now I have unfinished work....and the answer is I'm being discharged. Is it just me or does this sound professional ? Wow, what kind of after care follow up is that and this really shows his persona and character.

More to come....and I'm not trying to sugar coat my story, everything I have said is true.

Well, it's about to be the 4 month mark and I still wear my body binder and stomach board per Dr. Cortes. I don't see much difference. Again, some of ya may say, chill out, it's too soon and your still swollen. We'll, I'm not, the days I do take off my body binder and rest for a little, I feel disgusted when I sit upright. My stomach rolls on the half line and it feels nasty when it rolls inward. I'm just not satisfied with this procedure and I don't care what anyone says, it was not done in that area. I have enclosed a picture so ya can see the big gap/line/area where it folds in.

What do ya think, truthfully??

Sorry to say but I think this is not an uncommon result of liposuction. I like the way you describe it. I have a similar line under my navel and it feels bad when it rolls inward too. When I complained to the doctor he didn't empathize with that and said there's always a crease when you bend (like in your hands). Well I guess that's what fat prevents from happening on the front of your body. Sorry about your experience.

Yes, don't get me wrong and I totally understand about the body folds BUT when the top is bigger than the bottom and I can grab a big chunk, something's not right.

Oh and I forgot to mention, since my last follow up, I called the office that following Monday to speak to Janaris and have left several messages since then. One call I got Deanna and she said she was going to pass the messages and two other times I called and spoke to Janelly, both were messages. It's been a month and no one has called me back, still waiting.
