Tummy tuck

I've decided to go with Doctor Alverez for my tummy tuck /bbl and any other surgeries I may want in the near future. I want to start off by saying he is truly a knowledgable, concerned, compassionate and qualified surgeon.
My first impression of the practice: when I called, Lena the office manager answered the phone, she was quite pleasant and cheerful and Answered all my questions putting my concerns to rest and assured me that Dr. Alvarez will call me. Let me say this; a PHONE CALL from a surgeon in south Miami? Yea right, Wait on it, I'll wait????. I've consulted with Dr. Salama, Dr. Salzerhuar(Dr.Miami), Dr. Ghurani, Dr. Hochstein, Dr. Ortega, which I've never received a call From a doctor in Florida but I have spoke to Dr. Ghurani in the past. I received a call two days later from Dr. Alvarez, he was quite the gentleman and surgeon--It felt like I was talking to one of my friends. He was quite honest and straight to the point and had a great sense of humor as I body bashed myself. He addressed all my concerns and gave all his recommendations of what he thought would be best for me to achieve optimal results

Recommendation #1
full body lipo with a BBL, come back for a tummy tuck once results settle (6months)

Recommendation #2
tummy tuck with lipo to the flanks and upper/lower back

Recommendation #3
Tummy tuck with lipo to the flanks, come back for a full body liposuction after six months

I've been speaking to the doctor for approximately one month now but mostly with Lena. I did have one incident with one of the workers but Dr. Alvarez was on top of it and great at handling and RESOLVING my issue. Ultimately this was the deciding factor aside from credentials, expertise, interaction, staff and price, this was somewhat of an indication that maybe this was the right doctor for me because he handled conflict very well and he didn't disregard my concerns and brush me off as many of these doctors do, he called my cellphone and addressed it personally himself, didn't make me feel bad about any part of it.

Moving on-- his practice is very small and his staff is freaking phenomenal and when I say his staff I just mean Lena for now, I don't know the rest of the staff.

I was going to go to spectrum but quite frankly I don't want to be a number on the board, no offense to anybody. Although the doctors are great at spectrum, vanity, elite and other practices, follow up is very important to me especially being in New York. Dr. Salama's office is great but I personally want to interact with my doctor and Dr. Miami is booked out for almost a year and a half which is just not acceptable for me.

I have a consultation set up for 3/14, so I'll be flying in, yeaaaa... I'll also be visiting the other docs as well.

Great before and after

I flew to Miami from New York to have a office consultation with Dr. Alvarez at his private practice. I had an afternoon appointment , which he was running a little late due to surgery in the O.R but once he got in he was the best surgeon ever, very personable. We discussed all my options after evaluating my individual needs and what I was looking to accomplish . This is not my first time having surgery but I swear having these consultations never get any easier and they're quite intimidating to me at least .

What I'm hoping for --to Remove 75% of the fat removed from my back and sides and flatten my stomach through the use of liposuction although my stomach will be his main focus. I do understand my stomach will not be flat, I will return for a tummy tuck and breast revision 4-6 months later as per his recommendation. A few of the areas that Dr. Alvarez noted to focus on was my empty flat hips and bring a bit more volume to my upper butt because I have a full bottom butt And no fullness at the top. I'm having my surgery June 24th and staying at a hotel local to his practice, can't wait!!!!!
