scheduled to have BBL with dr. mel ortega...so excited!!!!! Miami, FL

Hi everyone. So about 3 and a half years ago I had my first BBL with Dr. Mel Ortega. Then he did a revision the following year for indentations and unevenness in my abdomen as well as buttock area. At first everything looked smooth and once the swelling settled down completely which took a few months, I really began to notice the lumps and indents all over my stomach and waisted. One butt cheek is still more round and full than the other. While I really liked my Dr. , looking back I realize it was more like a chop shop where they just want u in and out so they can get onto the next. Once botched liposuction is performed it is very expensive and almost impossible to fully correct so i guess i am just stuck with a lumpy stomach. I researched a lot and really thought I found a great deal with a great facility. The moral of the story is you get what you pay for. I paid $4500. I know so many of you have your heart set on this like I did but if possible, spend the extra money and have it done right the first time. Good luck!!

I had my surgery with Dr. Mel Ortega almost two months ago. He is an amazing doctor and he did the best he could for me. My butt was extremely flat! I did not get the projection I was hoping for but I understand it was because of my anatomy, the fat available, and the surface area he was working with. Because my butt was wide and flat, there was a much larger area to spread the fat over which didn't leave much extra fat to build outward for a lot of projection. I haven't decided if I will go back for a revision or not but if I do, it will definitely be with Ortega!! even though my butt isn't very big even after surgery, at least I have something. My butt was so flat before! I notice that the people who get the best results, judging by the other girls I met in Ortega's office, are the ones who have a little butt to begin with. I had a decent amount of fat for him to take from my midsection and everything he took out, he put back in. I'm 5'3 136 lbs. I actually put on almost 20 lbs. for this surgery. He was very honest about possibly not being able to give me the projection I wanted the first time around and that I may require a second surgery. I will post pics at some point but I have not taken any after photos yet. If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask.

my surgery is in 3 weeks and i am soooo nervous!!!! can anyone out there reassure me that it will be ok? i'm worried about complications more than anything because i am traveling out of state for this procedure so it's not like i can see Dr. Ortega for post op care. i will post before and after pics once i am done with the surgery.
