Since I can remember, I've always wanted to have...

Since I can remember, I've always wanted to have bigger boobs. I was embarrassed by my A-cup and never owned a bra without padding. So, no doubts, breast augmentation was on my mind for a long time.

First time I've heard about Dr. Mel Ortega from my friend. She said she had her boobs done by him and she was happy with her results. I loved her new boobies, too. When my other girlfriend came back from the same doctor with amazing results, I was like "f** it, I'm doing it!"

I read a lot that many girls had some hard time to communicate with the coordinators. Honestly, I did not have any problems with that. Everything was done in a timely manner, all contracts, lab results, scheduling and etc. Maybe I was just that lucky, who knows, but I have no complains about the staff.

I flew to Miami two days prior my surgery with a friend who was helping me during my post-op recovery. My pre-op was scheduled right before the surgery, that's when I first met Dr. Ortega. He is very charming and funny, but also extremely professional. He told me right away that one of my breasts looks bigger than another not because of its size but because of a minor scoliosis I have. My rib cage on the left side is sticking out more, making my left boob looks bigger. Wow. I always thought it's just bigger... Then he asked me about my expectations and when I started to mumble something about "big but not too big"", he said:
"Okay, natural, exotic dancer or a [RS bleep] star?"
I picked the "exotic dancer" :D
After that, I met the cutest anesthesiologist, who literally talked me to sleep :) And then I woke up with the nicest rack I could only dream of.

My recovery was a piece of cake, thanks god. I could walk around the next day, stopped taking pain killers two days after without any problem and today, a week after the surgery, I am fully back to my normal life, except the gym. My boobs are still a bit high and firm, but no pain or uncomfortable feelings whatsoever. Well, maybe just the awesome feeling of having nice full breasts, finally...

I recommend Dr. Mel Ortega to anyone who wants to get their boobies done without paying tons of money. I really love my new boobs and every day they are getting better and better. Yay!

Amazing professional who knows what he's doing. Tells you what to expect for real instead of telling you what you want to hear. Great results.
