I was motivated to See Dr. Mel T. Ortega after seeing a girl on realself post her review. Her body shape was similar to mine and I was really shocked at how amazing she looked afterwards.

The place is called Spectrum Aesthetics and it is located in Coral Gables, Miami area and it was in a nice plastic surgery center. It looks very clean and the staff are Amazing! My coordinator was Karla, and my assistant who helped with every aspect was Jenny. They are both great and made me feel like family.

I would totally recommend this place. I had surgery with two other friends of mine so we are all healing together right now. I had a Brazilian Butt Lift and the areas Dr. Ortega had lipo are my arms, entire back, abdomen, chin, and inner thighs. I am so swollen but I can already see my shape coming through. My bum is HUGE! I can't wait for it to drop and fluff.

Is it just you getting the BBL? Let me just say the pain is way less that Breast Augmentation. Day one, (yesterday) wasn't bad at all, I could walk, eat etc. We all got something done. One of us went on the 1st, I went on the 6th and so did my other friend. The first girl had homecare with what they provided, but that place was an hour and a half away. I would recommend it if you are going alone. But honestly, your cousin is more than enough to have someone take care of you. I love Dr. Ortega, I will see him again for my second Breast Augmentation and BBL. You must be excited!! A few weeks will go by fast!!

She's getting a TT.. My BA was nothing. I had no pain just felt pressure.. I stopped taking my pain meds after 3 days.. From a 1-10 in pain my BA was a 3 but I believe everyones pain tolerance is very different. I had other surgeries (non cosmetics) so I believe thats why my BA didn't hurt just uncomfortable sleeping on my back, pressure on the breast, etc. The healing process sucked more to me.. But just her n I in three weeks

Your results are amazing! I've had ab lipo, but really want to get a BBL now. What place did your friend stay at with home care? My cousin and I are going together, but are both getting procedures done and wont be able to take care of one another. Thanks for your help!! :)

I have more swelling than before. Maybe because I have been self massaging. I am not taking any pain killers because the pain is tolerable. Level 2/10 Pain Scale and sleeping is getting better.

I am currently on a Slim Fast Diet with one balanced meal because I just don't want to order food or go out too much. It gets too tiring. Miami heat is humid and disgusting.

SWELLING in abdomen, it looks bigger than before but I am not stressing. I'm confident it will go away. I am talking about major swelling!

*Wishing I had more Hip projection, but I am still happy with my results.

I looove ur transformation hun! The swelling is normal though right? Are u getting any massages at all? Have your sites been leaking much? Are you drinking lots of fluids to pee it all out? Low sodium diet? Then even if u are doing everything right its still to early to tell...

Did you change garments to a butt in? Was that recommended by Dr. O? Also, did your package include 14 or 12 areas of lipo...I want all the areas you had done too but I have the 12 package...Thanks! He must have taken out a lot of ccs.

I had 12 areas of Lipo. I got the home care for a few days but I ended up not doing it. Dr. O didn't approve it yet, but its the same garment my friend had on. Her and I went the same week and we both got different garments. So I am not sure if they serve different purposes. I am wearing TWO at a time. One for smoothing and the other for tightening. It also helps keep the pain to a minimum.

He also said he put OVER 1000 ccs in each butt. So I assume there could have been more.

Thanks for the info. I wonder if u r overcompressing by wearing two. I read that too much compression is actually bad for u...could that be why your more swollen then before.

You look really good. You won't be able to see final results for months to come. Just be patient with your body as it transforms! Happy healing!

Thank you I can't wait. I know it is too early to tell or see any results but hopefully with a healthier lifestyle things would just get better from here.
