I'm from California, and after going to several doctors here in the Bay Area and being disappointed by the results they said they could give me, I decided to get a breast augmentation in August. I still wanted the bbl done and just recently I found Spectrum's work here on real self!! My 30th birthday is in March, and what better way to celebrate than to give myself a gift I've always wanted!! From the first call I had with Liz, I began to feel that I was in good hands. I researched Dr. Omulepu's work and even found a wish pic from some of his work. The more I seen reviews and seen his work, the more confident I became that He was the right doctor for me. From the videos he has that show him talking about the procedure and actually performing the procedure, it shows that he enjoys his work and that he's really good at it! All of the post op pictures i found of his work seem like the patients kept most if not all of the fat that was transferred. From researching the procedure, I've learned that the amount of fat that remains after the procedure depends on the dr.'s technique and experience. Seeing this makes me feel confident and secure that I have finally found the right doctor and excited that I'll finally get the results I'm looking for. Spectrum is also used to people flying in for the procedure and they do many bbls at spectrum. That too makes me feel secure that their doctors specialize in the bbl procedure. After the doctor evaluated my pictures and wish pics and I was told he could give me similar results, I was beyond excited!! Yay, finally!! And I get to travel to Miami!! I just put my deposit down and booked my surgery date for Jan. 6th. Please, If anyone can give me some advice on supplies, tips, etc. (i will traveling from California to Miami!) based on their experience. I would greatly appreciate it!! I will keep you all posted!

Why is your Surgery cheat? And are you going to stay in a Recovery home?

They have a special going on for all the doctors. 4,000 for Ortega, 3,900 osak,3,800 for the other doctor. (Don't remember his name) No, no recovery house. I keep reading about all these bad experiences at recovery houses. The 3900 includes all surgery fees, garment, and lab work.

I am not doing the recovery house either. I am a registered nurse so I figure I can treat myself. Plus my co- worker is coming with me to have a BBL on the same day. We said we can help each other. I am bringing my boyfriend too though.

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear you had that experience! Yea I'm sort of having second thoughts with some of the stories I read about. Also, my coordinator is terrible!
November 11, 2015
I am having to redo my face lift. This botched surgery is costing me $15,000 I have to charge it all imagine if someone else has an outcome like me and does not have the money to redo the surgery. I have been in the worst pain of my life since Nov. 6th . I look so deformed I can't even look at myself

I'm so bummed!!!! I continued to do research on dr. Omulepu and was scared to find that around April-may, a lot of his patients were getting staph infections :( i found some reviews of people getting staph infections and one had to get a blood transfusion. She said she was going to take legal action!! I'm sooooo scared now and don't know if I want to get surgery by him or even at spectrum for that matter!! Not sure if the staph was due to the recovery house the patients stayed at, sx tools not being properly sterilized and doctor's fault or the patient's fault. Im really considering canceling my sx at spectrum its just not worth it to me!! I will call Liz, my coordinator tomorrow and we'll see what happens! If anyone want to see those reviews on him, go to his page and click reviews, I believe it's "lowest"
If you are dr. O's patient, any info would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!! Also if you're Ortega's patient, please show me your results!

I talked to my coordinator and explained to her my concerns. She did say that they had 3 or 4 cases where the girls got staph. She said it was due to the way they handled their after care. I then started asking her questions about dr. Certifications and I tried to look him up on the plastic surgery board and he's not on there! I've been waiting for her to respond, it's been almost a week and no response!! I'm really frustrated with her, and will call to speak to the manager in order to switch coordinator to someone who will answer my questions and concerns!! It seems that Liz was helpful and prompt in returning my calls before the deposit, but as soon as I put my deposit down she switched up!!

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm working with Emily and she's been great but I just put my deposit down this morning. I just called the main number to ask about how many mg my iron and vitamin c need to be . The receptionist went and she asked a nurse and gave me info so calling main number may help than your coordinator. I also heard about 3-4 girls getting stag around March-April of this year. I also believe something may have happened during after care because I look at it like 3-4 out of 1,000 is very small percentage. Emily assured me with prop after care I should be fine but overthink everything so I'm going to get a temporary insurance plan for 30 days after just in case I need to be hospitalized. She actually told me she didn't have insurance either which I was shocked but also told me without insurance post op Meds are only about 100.

I can't wait to get my body back and some!! And get the body to match my new boobs!! So, I've always had a nice shape, but always lacking in the hip area! However, during these past few months I have gained so much weight!! :( especially in my mid section!! I got a BA in August and that didn't help with getting back in shape!! As a matter of fact everything went downhill from there! Ive gained about 20 pounds in less than a year and I'm sooooo depressed! Im trying to preserve the fat I have so that I can get the results that I want, since the last time I went for a consultation I was told I didn't have enough fat to get the results I wanted!! I mostly gain weight proportionally, and so it's difficult to look at myself gaining weight and not being able to do anything about it!!
