26 Year Old, Mother of One. 5'6", Curvy Woman with No Boobs!! - Miami, FL

UPDATED FROM buki3160

5 years later

I am back researching for bbl and figured I needed to update my review from my BA with Ortega! I’m happy with my breasts 5 years later. Although I do feel my left breast has a very minor contracture it isn’t noticeable and wasn’t worth fixing imo. At this pt I’ll swap out to silicone probably when my ten year mark hits. Ortega was great. I liked him very much! Spectrum left a lot to be desired as far as post op follow up etc. but I think that’s all Miami clinics.

7 days post op

So I went through with my BA and didn't chicken out... Although I def thought about it!!! Today makes a week post op! I got 550cc saline unders, HP placed by dr Ortega. I was originally thinking mod plus but due to my frame and size we discussed he suggested HP & I trusted his opinion. My experience overall was mixed. I wasn't very impressed by the majority of the staff.. Not extremely friendly nor informational. Dr Ortega, as well as the anesthesiologist were both wonderful & friendly! I know they are very high volume practice but I believe dr Ortega should invest in new staff or train his current staff on customer service. Either way.. I woke up in enormous amount of pain! Was in recovery room with several girls & only one nurse so waiting for pain meds took a bit long. We stayed in miami for 3 additional days before returning home (a few hours away) the pain was much worse than I imagined and prepared myself for.. And I really wish I'd requested longer off from work! Over the last 2-3 days the pain has been much better but my breasts feel so tight they feel like they are literally going to explode!! I was originally thinking 475cc so I'm sure the additional 75cc is making me that much more uncomfortable! I am getting bummed out just because of the discomfort & how high & swollen they are still. I feel like I have torpedo boobs!! :( I am trying to be patient & wait for them to drop but it is difficult ! I will be able to make a fair judgment once I am more healed.
