After several other procedures I am still...

After several other procedures I am still interested in getting a BBL. I've done coolsculpting and laser lipo. I've tried pills and all types of creams to increase my hip and buttock size. My previous doctor told me that I just needed to make my waist smaller, lose stomach fat, and work out at the gym to get a bigger butt... well my waist is smaller but my rear end has barely changed. Countless hours at the gym and a million squats later I only see a little difference.

Mind you I'm 5'3 and Asian so unfortunately I wasn't blessed with any curves.
I'm hoping this procedure will be what I've been searching for. I won't be too greedy. Please doc, I just want a tiny waist, wider hips and a fuller projected booty.

I emailed Vivian and paid my deposit. Booked my date for October 8. I just spoke to Marian and will be staying at the recovery house. I just put down my deposit for their recovery house promotional package. $1,000 for 7 days includes stay, transportation, food, and 5 massages. I'll be traveling alone. Is anyone else staying here? I'm hoping 7 days will be enough before I can fly back to MA (3 hour flight). Now I just need to gain the weight at least 20 lbs.

Hi Chinablossom, I'm scheduled too for Oct 8th with Dr. Ortega can you give me the info to the recovery house. I would greatly appreciate it my Coordinator is Liz and she sent me a listing for hotels. Smdh

My coordinator Vivian has ignored my emails regarding recovery houses and hotels. After research I guess there's a recovery house that works with spectrum aesthetics but I'm not sure about that since I didn't get any info. I found Marian to do the massages and discovered she has a RH as well. It's a bit pricey but her website is http://www.medicalmassageprofessionals.com/lymphatic-drainage-and-rh.html I texted her and she got back to me within minutes. The next day after I confirmed I was sent my massage schedule already.

Thanks Chinablossom I sent my deposit for the recovery house with Marian yesterday just waiting for her to reply that she received it. Will it be by text or email.

After I put down the deposit I texted her confirming my dates and then she responded back to me via text message to confirm everything. The following day Barbie texted me my massage schedule.

Good luck. I can't wait to see pictures. Dr.Ortega did my mommy makeover and I am very satisfied. I can't wait for my bbl. :) I know what you mean about being asain and no butt curve. That's me :)

Which recovery house are you staying at? My girlfriend wants to research it. She wants to go to Dr.Ortega to get some work done and need a recover house
September 1, 2014
I'm staying at the Madsage Medical Recovery House with Marian. She will be doing my post surgery massages as well so I find it just easier to stay with the same person.

Hi doll! I just had my BBL done with doctor Ortega on Friday and love the results so far. I flew in on Thursday, had surgery on Friday and flew home this morning. If I can do it in three days, you should be fine. I flew in from New Orleans by myself and because I was only staying for 3 days I decided to stay at a hotel and hired a nurse to look after me the night of surgery. I highly recommend the recovery house. I'm 5'3, Vietnamese and had no shape. He did a great job adding 1300cc on each buttdocks. He also gave me wide hips and they look natural. Good luck with your surgery!
September 1, 2014
Post some pics up darling Leila519! Wow 1300cc is a lot?! Damn, he did you good. Did you have a lot of fat to begin with? I'm so scared I can't gain enough wait to get the results I want. I mostly just want wider hips and a natural booty.

I am staying at the recovery house and would love info on the place. What's it look like, cleanliness, etc. Can you please give me details. :)
February 12, 2015
Im 5'5 118 and hoping I'm a candidate without having to add too much weight cause unfortunately some of that weight will end up where I can't get lipo!!

Trying to gain some weight but it's so hard. I've been drinking 2 Ensure drinks on top of eating like a pig. I'm not seeing much weight gain at all. Does Ortega give good results to girls that don't have much fat? I'm starting to worry if I should change to Fisher since I've seen more girls around my body size/ type with good results.

I'm almost a month away and I haven't heard anything from Vivian or Spectrum Aesthetics. Starting to get worried since communication isn't very good.

According to their preop paperwork I should be scheduling blood work soon. For all the vets out there.. how does it work for out of state/ towners? Would I be doing it the day before surgery? What happens if I don't get cleared. I'd be wasting my time and travel/ expenses.

Good luck with your procedure!! I am scheduled for a bbl with dr ortega tomorrow morning and I cant wait! Hes a great guy with lots of experience and a strong clientele to back up his work. Ill keep an eye out for your results
September 4, 2014
Hey realfake. I had a question. I am almost a month away and haven't done blood work yet. Is that normal and may I please ask when did you get yours done? I feel so nervous that I won't be cleared in time for surgery. Wishing you nothing but the best! Good luck and please keep us posted! Happy healing

Hey Chinablossom me and you have the same date and I haven't heard anything from Liz at Spectrum either, I wonder do we do our labs here or when we get there. She said they would contact me three weeks before the surgery. Smdh I'm going to call her tomorrow it's a shame I'm paid up in full I would think they would communicate with us a little better.

My coordinator never returns my calls or emails. I am 10 days from my surgery date and like to be prepared and would live to have answers to my questions.

Who is your coordinator Jdjones.

As soon as you get the paperwork emailed to you set up your lab work ASAP. Get it done as soon as possible. I am having a mommy makeover which requires a mammogram and I was called back for more images after my initial mammogram. Went back for more images and ultrasound for left breast. All was ok. That took a week and a half. I just found out Yesterday that my EKG results came back abnormal, 15 days after I had it done!! I had to see cardiologist today for cardiac clearance (which i got since I am fine) before my primary doctor would give my medical clearance. Too much stress 10 days before my surgery! Ugh!! You never know what obstacles you may have. I hope you have NONE! This is ridiculous stress!

I am paid in full and have the same problem. :(

Thanks for the info I still haven't gotten any paperwork yet but I know I need to start doing my labs done because it takes a while for me to even get an appt with my primary care doctor.

30 days away- gathered some supplies

chinablossom
I emailed my coordinator and she responded back saying she will email me information about the necessary lab work. Unfortunately, I've yet to receive anything from her. She did tell me to start drinking Floradix. I've been drinking it twice daily.

I bought Floradix Iron + Herbs. The taste isn't half as bad as I'd thought it would be. It's actually pretty tasty if you don't mind the metallic after taste. It taste like kind of like grape juice (if you've ever eaten spaghetti o's then you know that metallic taste I'm talking about).

I'm just waiting on my boppy pillow, compression socks, and foam to arrive.
Dr' Ortega's quote comes with a compression garment but I decided to buy my own as well just so I'd have something to wear while the other garments are washing. I bought one for surgery and a second stage garment as well which isn't as constricting. That means I'll have 3 garments total.

P EZ
Dial liquid antibacterial soap
Surgical dressing- for heavy absorption
Toiletry wipes
Arnica tablets and arnica gel- to help with bruising
Neosporin
Mederma
Yoga mat- rolled up to place under thighs while sitting
Foam roller- to place under thighs while sitting
(Haven't decided which one i'll use on the plane ride yet- either yoga mat or foam roller)
Boppy pillow- bought one just in case although I don't want to be sitting on my butt yet
Back support cushion
Ab board and foams

I'll post pictures of some of the supplies I've gathered already.

Hey china blossom! I have the same date for Mommy makeover! Let me know if you want a room mate to split the costs with! :) I'm coming from MI.

Hey darling! I'm going with Dr. Hasan now. I'm staying at the recovery house with Marian. Are you staying as well?

Yep I'm still staying at Marian.
September 11, 2014
Ahh! Ok. I'm still trying to figure that part out lol Either there or with Magdelina if she's available. I hear she takes really good care of you and her rates are a bit cheaper. Not as fancy, but I'm willing to compromise if its good care lol
