So my surgery is end of July because I can not smoke cigarettes for 4 weeks before the surgery, I'm so excited and nervous at the same time, I haven't spoke to Dr. Ortega Ive only emailed and spoke to the Assistant however she has made me feel very comfortable and assure everything will be fine. I just booked my flight to Miami Fl, Im coming from Atlanta Ga. I will post before and after pictures once I have my surgery! Thank you for this opportunity, I like the skin I'm in already but after this surgery I know I will love it!

How did you manage on your flight back? How were you able to sit and which ways should i sit on my way back. I am truly interested in knowing as I have to start buying products prior to leaving. Is there anything you suggest I get now. ? HOw are you feeling post Op? Are you happy with your results. Eager to hear from you doll

Funny just switched surgeons. I was texting calling no response. It got me frustrated . Lost my deposit but now going to Dr to Dr Baez with my cousin. Having our surgery a day apart. Spectrum needs to do better.

so I just made my 500 deposit with spectrum aesthetics the assistant I've been emailing and speaking on the phone with is Liz she is great. I thought my doctor was going to be with Ortega but she said it is with Dr. Alvarez I have been trying to see his reviews but not sure if Ive been reading the write reviews because the only Alvarez doctor is located at a different location in miami, however I did find some reviews on spectrum, it was 50/50 on good and bad reviews… I read one review where the doctor lost his license before, Im really hoping it is not the doctor they are assigning me to, but one review said alvarez is good, so I'm kind of getting iffy about this, I emailed liz to find out his real self link so that I'm not getting worked up for no reason, I did find there IG page but Dr.alvarez is not listed in none of their pictures only ortega and rami now their work is beautiful I would love to have them do my BBL… but just waiting on liz to let me know his IG or real self… just thought id ad a update I have also uploaded pictures of my before pictures and my wish pictures. the assistant stated that i need to gain 5-10 more pounds lol
