I will be 45 on May 29, in which im looking to enhance my curves from all angles. Yes, I still consider my self young and beautiful, but you know we ladies need that hour glass look to give the two snapes up. I heard of this procedure about 2 months ago and seen that this is a safe procedure to do. Therefore, I decided yes hun this can be me a present to oneself. I will be going on a 7 day carnival cruise in August so this would definitely be perfect.

It depends what special you get. My cousins had the Valentine's Day sale for 3800 and they provided them with nothing. With my procedure I also receive the faja and compression socks.

Yeah, im going to have to check. Hopefully they answer

The package I have was 4,500 with Dr.Ortega. This package includes up to 12 areas and compression socks thats it. They are promoting a cheaper amout but they informed me that wasn't with Dr. Ortega. It was with other surgeons. I will be keeping my eye out, because its crazy. This doesn't include the massage either.

Lady, I just checked on the special I supposedly have, it states th hat I suppose to get the garment. They will be notified tomorrow to change my paperwork. I will keep you posted.

Yeah I purchased massages separately because I wanted someone to come to means the young lady I found was cheaper than spectrum charges.

User Avatar
March 8, 2016
I saw that Groupon as well. I just figured itll be easier for someone to come to e. I've had surgery before and know how I felt those first two days but i you want her information. I posted it in my current review.

Ok, I need all the help possible thank you. I definitely need ur contact lady to bug that ear. This is my first surgery and yes scared but excited. I need a partner during this time if you dont mine.
March 8, 2016
Just spoke with one of the nurses there and she said that mines does come with the faja and the compressions socks. However, she stated that it is best to have more than one. So I guess I'll whip that old one out the closet and go and buy more socks. Just when I thought I was done.
March 8, 2016
Good!! We should get another discount for all the leg work lol I'm cheap
March 8, 2016
Lol yall just gone leave lil oh me out. Lol I hope our results are more than amazing!! Eight days left
User Avatar
March 8, 2016
Lol. Yeah I have an old one that I can fit now and one that is too small (hoping i can get into that after this procedure). I didn't buy any compression socks just yet... Lol. Good to get it all out of the way now though. My cousins just went in Feb and weren't prepared.

1st choice is. Dr. S. Alvarez
2nd R. Ghurani
My final decision will be posted on Monday March 21, 2016. I feel at this point its best for me to move forward to a more crafty detail person. Im 5'8 carry a weight of 178lbs, which needs a defined scupt detail on my body which you ladies can understand.

Staying put with Dr. Ortega

User Avatar

I called spectrum to make a Dr. Change and my coordinator Emily stated that I should stay put. She insured me that Dr. Ortega can give me the results im looking for. She stated that I already have the body structure to get the best results. Ladies my nerves are all over the place, I guess as the date get closer it get even more realistic. I will pray and ask the Lord to bless my surgeon hands and sculpt my body to my likings. Also, to protect , shelter, heal, and bring me through recover with little to know pain.

I'm hoping the same for you as well. I'm going to follow you since your surgery is before mine. I'm kind of afraid because I haven't seen one person that got surgery from him as of lately loving their results. I hope you get the body you want. I'm trying to get as close to my ideal weight so he can just perfect what I already have. All I want is a booty like the one I lost.

Thank you love, my date is coming very fast. I'm nervous of course but ready at the same time. I truly hope that I get the results im looking for also. I will post the before pics the day of the sx.

Hi love I understand how u feel. I found a very few doll on here that got just what they asked for from Dr. Ortega. I do know a few dolls on her that got good results. I'm going in may now, I had Dr. Ortega at first but since I had to change dates I will be going with Dr. Alvarez. I see more of his work on IG he is really good!! I'm sure u will be fine as wine when he Finnish with u. Just keep praying and I'll be praying for u as well love.
