PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM DR. MEL ORTEGA

$5,000
This has been an expensive nightmare! I went to him and got botched! I did my research and thought I was choosing a great doctor who would give me a natural look I was going for. I ended up with a lopsided stomach and deformed butt. I went for a revision and now my butt looks exactly the same. I thought going to the same dr. To fix the problem would work out but I was more than wrong. I was in surgery less than an hour for my revision and still have a deformed butt. Now after the second time I will have to wait a year now and go to a different dr. I have heard great things about dr. Fisher and Hasan, so it will likely be with one of them. PLEASE LADIES, STAY AWAY FROM HIM. I thought I did ample amount of research and I chose WRONG!!! Please please please stay away. I can't stress this enough. I will be needing a second revision

I'm sorry hon. My butt is opposite. The top is more full bottom is flat and the left cheek is fairly deformed and visible even througv jeans. I'm not going back to him but mainly because I got sick with am infection and it took Spectrum 2 weeks to get back to me. I'm going to DR next month to fix this mess.
Oh wow! I am so sorry!! What type of infection and how did you know?? I have painful lumps in my butt
Thank you hon. I had 1 painful lump that became unbearable over maybe 2 days. Then I developed a temp of 103 so I went to the ER (after Spectrum was non-responsive) I had to be admitted for surgery to drain the right buttock (that is not the deformed side). I ended up in surgery 3 different times to drain more fluid and was on several antibiotics and out of work for months. Pay attention to your pain and watch your temp.
It took them 2 weeks to respind to me and that was after I started posting on fb in a surgery group.
Oh wow!!!! I'm so sorry!!!!! This is ridiculous. I have went to The Better Business Bureau, real self, my attorney, and anywhere else I can put my dissatisfaction with this facility. It's mainly Dr. Mel ortega that is just ridiculous. He cares nothing about his patients and and sure this isn't the first nor last case
I'm so sorry to hear this! Yikes :( I'm seeing him for a breast revision on the 17th. The implants he put in me never dropped. Now I'm scared :(
Good luck
I'm sorry! He is the worst. I've filed several complaints now and am ready to take this to the media And legal action. Please stay away, this guy is a nightmare. I'm regretting choosing him and only wish I could turn back the hands of time just once
Hey doll l had to friends that went to him and he literally did a bad job on them 1 of my friends had a revision with fisher thats who l went to last year and my other friend suppose to do her revision this year please dont go back to him do your research and found another doctor
Geshhh I'm scheduled for a TT any bad reviews on that with him?

Revision Dr. Ortega

Soooooo..... after 6 months I'm having to go back to a Spectrum. I was left with a flat top of my butt and uneven tummy!!! I have seen so many great reviews on Dr. Ortega but I was not happy. He's saying he can fix this mess, I hope so! I am sooo depressed about this and I did my research. I wasn't going to post but I wanted you ladies to be able to see the results. This is 3 months PO

Sorry to hear that, im also going back to him for a revision I hate my results. When are you going back ?
Next week
Wow...I was scheduled with him for March but due to mix/negative reviews on his BBL work, I backed out. Good luck to you on the revision.

Elia's massages!!!

Although I am not happy with Dr. Ortega at this time and haven't posted any updated pics...I HAVE TO leave a review about my massage therapist. She does not work at Spectrum...She has made me feel much better in my "depressed phase"!! she is amazing and SUPER sweet. I feel like heaven after each massage. She does an HR for $60 I believe. I am staying at Mayda's recovery house and she comes here to do my massages and I love the convenience and privacy! I highly recommend her, I know you dolls will love her!!!
