I'm 3 weeks post op and still have swelling. I'm starting to sleep a little better at night but there are times were my sides are killing me with pain and I need to take a pain killer. I'll need more massages I'm sure of..

I'm so sorry ladies for not updating as I go. My phone broke 3 days post op and had to wait until I returned to Cali. First, let me start by saying how awful of an experience I had at Spectrum Aesthetics. I will not recommend this place to anyone I know nor will I go back for my BA. Secondly, my doctor Dr. Alvarez was amazing and caring. He truly is what other dolls say about him. I'm still very sore and tired and as the days goby I'll post more picturesand my journey to healing..xoxoxoxo

So glad to hear from you ! Us Alvarez dolls have built this little family and I was starting to get worried about ya ! Lol it's sucks to hear your experience w Spectrum wasn't pleasing .....especially since that's where I am scheduled to have my surgery in December. :( When you're up to it I'd like to hear about your full experience and why it was so awful. Besides that, you look amaze! And that's what matters most. Enjoy it !

Glad that you are satisfied with your dr. Can you explain what was wrong with Spectrum? I was looking at Ghurani. Now Alvarez may be a choice. Is he board certified?

Hi, Yes Dr. Alvarez is board certified and is great as a PS. I am not happy with the post op care Spectrum offers his patients and the nurses at the clinic are not even RN bit Medical Assistanto. don't get me wrong that's fine and all but most pre op surgical centers I've been to have a staff of skilled RN's to tend to you at bedside. Don't expect to stay long in recovery as they want you in/out of there to bring in the next girl. On my surgery day there were a total of 15 surgeries in 1 day between 3 doctors. Dr. Alvarez started as early as 5:30 am and I was his 11:30 am pt who was not seen until 2 hours later. Again, Dr. Alvarez is great N I wish I had known about his private office cause u would have gone through there instead. Btw, the aftercare is horrible and it's hard to get thru and advice nurse should you have a problem or questions post op. Please continue your research but both of these doctors do amazing work

Wow. You have been a very big help. That is totally crazy that they don't have any nurses. I mean at least have a few on deck. And that is scary Bc I will be thankful for the surgery but damn I need help afterwards.

And where is his private office?

it's not to far from Spectrum (Miami) and I think the price difference if $1,000. from my understanding he has his own OR but it's under renovation. contact his nurse/office manager Lena for a consultation.

Was able to speak with Dr. Alvarez and although I came prepared to ask a million questions I got stuck. My nerves took over me and I felt like I didn't get a chance to say much. I'm marked up and although I'm sad that there might be a chance that he won't be able to take a whole lot of fat out because I've had lipo in the past and getting theiug5scarring and fibrous tissue is difficult. He said he would try his very best but like any doctor they can't guarantee you 100% results and if they do RUN..
