Scheduled with Dr. Osak Omulepu but dont know if thats happening. His patients are getting Staph infections left to right soooo hopefully I can switch to Ortega because I dont know who the untrained staff are that are working for Omulepu but the equiptment isnt being sterlized properly so beware. Will be calling my coordinator tomorrow. Cuz I aint with the bullsh*t!!!

Who are the girls that have gotten infections? As far as I know it was just one and that was like a week ago?
June 3, 2015
There has been about 4 ppl. I spoke to Spectrum she said its not them its the patients not following recovery guidlines... She said you can get it if u hit your butt on something, dirty bedsheets (hotels, so bring your own) sleeping in the same bed with ppl for the first week or two etc etc... Idk im still nervous.

Thats terrible, but don't be nervous. I can honestly say that they might be busy, but they are still professional. It smelled sterile from the time I got in the elevator lol. As long as you prep yourself well for sx and follow post-op instructions you will be just fine.

Thanks hun. I just switched to Ortega and got to keep my date thank god.

Oterga is the sAfe choice I am booked for Tuesday wit Doc oask but f it I'll lose the deposit those ppl tell you wateva spectrum and vanity get paid on commission.. Come on ladies we know what we are gettin out self into.. Num1 u don't even speak to the doc before surgery number 2 this doctors switch clinics every couple years.. These are quick fast food surgery spots you cannot pay 4000 and expect to have a attentive doctor who has time to focus on you after when they are doing 7 to 8 surgeries a day ... These prices are not cheap for no reason... It's a cost for everything

I live your comment, it's very true...for the most part. I could have gone with a surgeon that has his own practice, paid almost twice as much and still didn't get the attentive service that I was expecting so I canceled with him. Went to Dr. O who gave me his cell # and might not get back to me right away because he IS so busy, but he does get back to me as soon as he can, i.e. I texted him Saturday afternoon and he got back to me next day (Sunday, his day off) which I know was as soon as he could because he had surgeries AND follow ups scheduled that Saturday. I feel that he is as attentive as possible given how many surgeries he does.

The problem as you stated, some of these girls expect A gourmet burger, when they are instead buying from the dollar menu.
June 18, 2015
Right. But I've seen women on here have the same issues and get charged 15,000$ and some have DIED. Im so glad I switched regardless because Omulepu isnt even Board Certified so if im gunna spend my little $5,000 I want it to be someone certified.

Good for you doll, you need to go with whom you feel the most comfortable with and with whomever gives you the most peace of mind. It's important to go into surgery with the least worries and stress possible.
Board certified or not, expensive or not, surgery is risky and people make mistakes. That's why I switched doctors because I didn't feel comfortable and at ease with my first decision.
Best of luck in your journey, we are all in this together, bbl sisters4life :*

I def feel safer. Thanks love
June 3, 2015
Make sure you do your research, I was considering Dr. Osak because he does great work, so far I've found 3 cases of Staph associated with him, one in January, March and I can't remember the other date.

I spoke with Jessica, she told me they have the florida health and hygiene dept come in a few times a year, they are a top plastic surgery office they make sure all equiptment is clean and sterile. She said its 50% the doc and 50% how you take care of yourself during recovery. She said alot of patients go back to smoking too early, sleep next to ppl the first week after surgery, bump their butt on stuff, dirty bedsheet (hotel)and also dont take their antibiotics properly... So ladies becareful!! I hate to see ppl suffer and I know I will do the best I can to avoid a Staph. I want to apologize for blaming dr osak as well. My surgery is still on for Oct and im praying everyday for a safe experience.....

I was actually wondering if the staph infections are being spread at Karla's...cause that is where all these ladies happened to stay...I just wasn't understanding how one doc using the same facilities is having this happen. Then I noticed all the girls had Karla's recovery in common or is it just me that noticed.

I did not stay there I stayed in hotel then my house since I live in Tampa worse experience of my life staph infection pic line 2 months then he kept yelling at me and I'm a pa when he did not care I checked my self into the Er the dr was so up set by his work I was in icu
September 26, 2015
Until you post pictures what you are saying is a lie. Post at least one review u cannot just comment all this stuff with no proof you are using a google image as your profile pic and you have no pictures and no reviews which makes no sense. You look real crazy and your not deterring anyone from goinf to Ortega. Please do not come back on my profile thank u.

Hi,
I seen so many of his girls
in person after procedures
None of them had any complications.
Most of them went to hotels to
Recover and didn't have no complications.
You will need to have somebody with
Experience next to you doing the recovery..
All the right steps..
Best wishes honey

Switched Doctor for my peace of mind

I will now be having surgery with Ortega... I had to do it. I woke up this morning to read yet another hospitalization due to a surgery with Omulepu. I saw pics of my coordinator and Ortega snatched dat *ss right up plus I read alot of reviews so Ortega has me sold. If you are iffy about Omulepu and made your 300$-500$ deposit already, call and ask your coordinator to switch your doctors if possible. I booked my flight & recovery already so im so thankful! I will post pre op pics by August. Trying to lose some weight.

I was thinking about switching and then I seen 2 people who had bbl with him and had no changes what so ever! & I can't have that
June 4, 2015
Yeah I know what u talkin about. His coordinator looks bomb so Im gunna tell him to make me look like her lol. I rather that than staph/blood transfusions or just goin to the ER for anything period.
June 5, 2015
I switch to Dr Ortega as well. I know his results are not has drastic as Dr. Omulepu but i rather be safe. Im sure u ll look great hun
User Avatar
June 5, 2015
Me too I switch to a totally different client I kno the results wontbe a drastic but I have a child I can't risk me
June 6, 2015
Yes I will make sure he knows I want. Serious curves and ass. Double stuff me to be sure lolol. I rather be safe. Someone on here said the way Omulepu does bbl has not been used since the 80's and of course is more dangerous. Plus ortega doesnt use drains, I LOVE that. Ortega's work is good just ask for pictures of his coordinator Jessica!! She look like Jessica Rabbit from the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit hahaa

I pray you have a safe surgery & happy recovery.

You took the words right outta my mouth! I'll be doing the same thing. Dr. Ortega puts you more at ease when you talk to him. I've met both doctors and the comfort level Was higher with Ortega.

Really?? Im out of state so Im not able to do that. But u definitely just made me feel even better. Everything happens for a reason.
User Avatar
June 7, 2015
I'm out of state as well. I went up there to have my procedure on the 18th of May. When Omulepu came into the room and started marking me up, he asked me for my weight and height and had the assistant to calculate my BMI. He told me I needed to lose some more weight, so I didn't get my procedure done that day. Well when we my friend went back for hers, he recommended the mommy makeover instead but there was a price difference for that. She also hadn't researched him for that procedure. She requested a consultation with Ortega instead for the mommy makeover. I sat in for both consultations and we were both put at ease with Ortega.

Hey Hun I been reading your reviews about Omplueu everything you posted about ways to catch infections is correct. Also I was told he have several incision he create on the skin for surgery. You don't need that many open areas so that's another to attract infections
July 6, 2015
Yea girl your right I just realized he has a lot more holes on the skin than Ortega, never noticed until you said it. You would have to be extra careful post op. Yikes.
