Round 2 Bbl Back to Spectrum - Miami, FL

Round 3 new surgeon

$5,000
So after a wasted 4 grand down in miami, I've decided to look at some different Dr's. I'm really looking at one in Mexico. His girls look amazing. Dr. Ortega left me more or less like he found me. He took out minimal and put in minimal. I knew I shouldve saved my coin. But at least I can warn others not to waste their money. I was looking at Dr.Alvarez but I would never pay him 6500$ and haven't seen anything spectacular. I'm also looking at Dr. Gurami, but the Dr. In Mexico is cheaper and his work so far is bomb. I thought 2 would be enough. Now 3??

You are the second person to say this about him that I have read tonight. So are you going to keep spending. If so a Dr. Sent me something about sculptra. It works the same as a bbl and is not considered a surgery percedure. Maybe you should consider that instead.

I had a consult about Sculptra . It's very expensive . Rumored that's what Kylie Jenner had. 1vial =1cc and its about $800 per vial and you will need about 30 to 50 vials. It boost the natural collagen to give you projection but it only last 2 -3yrs. Be careful ... any cheaper may not be authentic sculptra

You are right, I spoke to a Dr. That claims he did Kim K. And yes, ridiculously expensive. I am just thinking that I may just workout. I don't want to keep waisting money.

Sculptra has 15cc in one vial. NOT 1cc
May 12, 2017
Either way, you would have to go back for several treatments.. That will be expensive

Book with dr. Ghurani bbl's is his specialty before and after outstanding I am booking with him myself. Dr. Ortega better with tummy tucks

Ortega is a complete waste of money

lincolnandpedro
I'm now seeing Dr Alvarez practice online. I could've went to him. Sigh oh well. Looks like there will be a round 3. I knew I shouldnever have let Ortega do my bbl. Shouldve gotten my deposit back and found somebody else.

So sorry you are going through this. Feeling like you wasted you're hard earned money is the worst. Did he suck out all your fat? I am having a hard time gaining weight. It's spreading to awkward places instead of mainly stomach and back as it was the first time I gained. I can't imagine having to do it a third time. Is there any chance of fluffing?
February 18, 2017
It will fluff still hard but I feel that it should've been bigger. I felt like that first time and after 2 months I was OK with it. Hopefully this time will be the same. BUT not a drastic change. It is so hard to gain in my stomach,and I couldn't regain back fat. However he liposuction areas other Dr didn't like upper back.

It probably is bigger but like you said not as big as you wanted, maybe you didn't have enough fat? So he could r really do more. That's what I'm afraid of for mine. Also, I look like a linebacker and have that pelvic pouch that is so gross. Bc he didn't lipo it. I can tell what was done and what was t bc of the way I'm gaining weight. I saw that your pelvis are was BRUISED, is it flatter/skinner?
February 19, 2017
I think so. I mean I'm at the w8 and c stage in all this..but I feel like I should've payed half of what I did. Then as soon as I get back,I found dr.Alvarez who I wanted to do my bbl this time but he quit which is how I got stuck with Ortega. I think if I do it again I will go with Fisher or Hasan.
April 17, 2017
I don't think so.. I had one last year and am upset because I have lost all my butt fat. I am where I was from beginning. I feel like it's something that needs to be keep up every year.
