I'm going back to Spectrum Aesthetics for a Mommy Makeover
It's been almost 8 years since my last procedure and I've built up my confidence to do it again. Dr. Ortega will be my surgeon again and I'm super excited. If anyone has any tips on how I should prepare for this journey please feel free to share. I plan to have this procedure in July 2023.
One year update with pics. Surgery was done 8.28.15 by Dr Ortega at Spectrum
Its been one since my surgery and i wouldn't change a single thing. My life has changed for the better. Im so happy i decided to do this
So I've had my surgery 8/28/15!
This has been a long process! I was canceled twice after my original surgery date back in 2014. I was canceled because my labs were abnormal. I was doing a lot of partying and not taking care of my diabetes. I got serious focused on my health, started the hcg diet, lost 30lbs, lowered my bmi, lowered my HGA1C (measures your diabetes control). I was finally medically cleared! My mom, daughter, myself flew to ft Lauderdale, drove to and stayed in Miami. We actually stayed 9 minutes from spectrum. We arrived on 8/26 got settled located spectrum, grabbed something to eat and back to the hotel. Checked in at spectrum on 8/27 paid my $15 my final payment. I got my prescriptions. The ladies in the office was cool. My surgery was scheduled for 11a on 8/28. I had to be NPO after midnight. I was a nervous wreck. I couldn't sleep. I arrived at spectrum early because someone cancelled and they called me in. I took a pregnancy test as part of protocol before surgery. Then I was called to see Dr ortega. He's very nice and knowledgeable. Very realistic in his results for you. He instantly told me I needed a tummy tuck. Then he began to draw on my body just like they do on tv. Then it was time to sign consent for surgery and the wait began. After an hour, it was time surgery! I was nervous as hell! The anesthesiologist started my iv asked my where I'm from and I remember waking up in pain. Dr ortega placed 1400cc's in each cheek. That liposuction hurt like hell, I was so swollen. I didn't drain at all! The first 3 hours after surgery was the worst. My female urinal SAVED my life! My mom and daughter took very good care of me and I will be for ever grateful to them. So let me try to post some pics.
