Hi, I've been stalking this page for several months going in between Dr. Salzhauer and Dr. Mel Ortega for a BBL and a much needed Boob Lift. I have decided to go with Dr. Ortega because he is very experienced, I found no major malpractice suits, his reviews were very good; most complaints were not feeling he went big enough so revisions were later needed, and his prices are very gracious for the work that I have seen from him. I was given a consult immediately versus having to wait until Feb 9 to wait for Dr.S and I do have time to wait because I'm my sister's MOH in May? How bad is swelling 2 months post? Most importantly, I was able to tell the staff the date I wanted to come in, which will be the day after my 30th birthday. I'm so scared of the pain. How bad is it?
