Almost a month post-op..

$16,000
My surgery went well. I stayed in the hospital longer than I wanted. But, that was due to my HBP. I am so very pleased with my results. I would never allow another Dr. To perform any surgery on me. Dr. Cortes is brilliant. And I trust him completely. I am healing a little slowly but all together I am so pleased with my results and I am ready to start working out. Removal of my drains was easy. Stitches healed well. A few still in but will be removed tomorrow.. My scars are a bit Red but it's expected. I am so pleased with my results and surprised how fast I was able to move around with limited pain. Once I left the hospital 3 days later I didn't need any pain meds. I made sure I walked around, and did not confine myself to the bed. I found it easier to rest in my recliner than my bed.. I'll update pics as the weeks go on. I am still swollen and I expect to be for a while, I am starting back at the gym this Wednesday..

100% Satisfied with my Mommy Makeover

My surgery was Feb 23,2016 just 14 days Post-OP. And, I can not begin to write enough words expressing just how satisfied I am with Dr. Cortes and the staff at both the Office and hospital. I had the works. I had 13 year old Breast Implants mammoplasty Surgery using Saline- Filled Implants and Breast Lift (Mastopexy). I had a Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) and liposuction with Fat transfer to my hips. (Smoothing out the hips I already had). My Lipo included the following areas Abdomen, Flanks, Sides and Back. Now lets get to the day of surgery it went by extremely fast meeting some of the most kind, gentle nurses that are just waiting to assist you in any way possible. Dr.Cortes came in to speak with me and mark the areas and we kind of went over what will be done again. As usual he always remembers and he is ready to make you look and feel as if you are perfect. Before I new it I kissed my husband and I was out waking up 5 maybe 6 hours later with a very anxious husband.. My visit in the hospital did end up being

2 .5 days due to my pressure issues. However Dr. Cortes visited me 5 times wanting to look at me and make sure I was safe with no other issues before he finally released me. I have to appreciate him and Thank him so much for truly caring and directing me to feeling better before leaving. No worries the medical staff is waiting and will go above and beyond to make you comfortable, and feeling good.
Now, no lies it is tough, you will feel like the bride of Frankenstein. But, ladies if you under go this amount of surgery expect not too look perfect right away. You have to have patience. And be patient while your body heals. It takes time, you have underwent MAJOR MAJOR reconstruction. Yes stitches and tubes and glue and cuts and bruises. But its only been 14 days for me and the difference amazes me every time I take my garment off.
DR. Cortes did it again!!!! This is my second procedure and I could not have asked for a Dr. more skilled, kind, patient and always a pleasure to see. I thank him so much for all he has done and will continue to do as I heal. He truly is a Cosmetic God... I will continue to post pictures of my progress and ladies Best of luck...
