Hey dolls!! Sorry I haven't updated in forever, but I just wanted to give you a one year post op update. I absolutely love my results and I am thankful that Ortega did my sx. I couldn't be more happy about my shape and the way my curves look. I would recommend Ortega a million times over! My butt fluffed out sooooo well and it's completely undetectable that I had sx. Love love love it!

Thank you!! I got 3 massages before leaving Miami. I got a couple when I got home and then bought a hand held massager from Walmart and did the rest myself.

You look great! i have been contemplating about going with Dr.Ortega but have read mixed reviews. I am so scared to make a decision on a doctor since I originally made my apt with Dr.Olemphu but due to him losing his license i am back at square one.

Two Weeks Post Op

Today is two weeks post-op, and I am doing great! My butt is starting to soften up, I don’t really have pain in my butt. The lipo areas are still sore, especially my back. Bruising is almost gone, and the puncture wounds are healed. I bought bioCorneum cream from Spectrum, which was $120, but is really helping with the scars fade quick. I went back to work this past week, and the Booty Buddy has been a lifesaver! No one has asked what it is, because it looks like a therapeutic pillow. I just ordered a back support brace for my chair, so that I can lean back. I also use the Booty Buddy for my car. The only time it didn't work well was on the plane. The worst part about recovery is sleeping. My back and stomach gets so tight through the night, and I wake up in so much pain. But, no pain no gain! It’s all tolerable. My butt looks so natural, just what I asked for. If you have booty greed, I am not sure if this is the place to go. Ortega doesn't seem to make Nicki and Kim K booties, so beware! I am looking and feeling great! :)

Congrats!!! You look great!! Love your results!!! Have you tried Arnicare Arthritis pills? A post opper recommended them for back pain at night. The booty buddy keeps your butt from touching the seat? I hope you fully recover soon. Thanks for the update.

I saw the pills in Walgreens once, but haven't seen them again. I ordered them on ebay.

Yea I took those pills to reduce bruising as well and they didnt seem to really work for me, so I stop taking them. & yes, the BBuddy lets your booty hang off the end, so youre not putting pressure on it.

I'm scheduled with Keyla the 15th-20th. Do these two women work together or is it two different RH's? Are massages included?

Yes... they work together, but have two diff RHs. Elsa is the lady who does the massages for everyone at Keyla's house and she charges $60 per massage.

It really hasn't bothered me as much as I thought. I lay and kneel mostly. I use the boppy pillow on a chair or hang my butt off the edge of Mayda's stool when I want to sit.

She does have a small Chihuahua named Tiny (5lbs or less), but you will not even notice that she is there.
