2yr update Dr. Ortega

WORTH IT$6,000
2years down & for the most part I’m still happy but I want a 2nd round of LIPO with SCULPTURE cause I know Dr. Ortega was not aggressive enough with the lipo during my mommy makeover & I want an implant exchange, I want my breasts bigger lol how y’all doing..?! Furthermore, I’ll never go to Spectrum ever again, I was trying to get my issues addressed about my lack of lipo initially & every time, I got dismissed by the so called coordinators & front desk personnel’s..! I’ve been trying to schedule lipo with spectrum for over a year now & every time, they acted like they were going to at least humor me but failed every time.. I repeatedly told them I have no problem coming in for a scheduled consultation but they refused to schedule me one & just kept asking I email them pics which I did but nobody ever got back to me..! I wish there was a way to reach out to Dr. Ortega personally cause he is a great doctor but his staff are trash asf & are costing him & any other doctors that work there, MONEY..! I’ve literally exhausted my efforts to go back to spectrum & will be going to 305 Plastic Surgery.. review for them & my doctor of choice will be on a new page.. thank you all for reading my rant lol but spectrum is not worthy of your coins ladies, trust me..!

Drain Removal/Bikini Try On

Hey dolls, hope all is well..! Well on Friday June 23rd, I had my drains removed at Spectrum.. the sensation was WEIRD but not painful, the PA kept asking me if it was painful & I kept telling her it wasn't smhlol I think she wanted it to be painful.. she gave me a bunch of antibacterial ointment for the drain sights for me to apply after every shower & to apply dressings as recommended.. she took all my tape off & told me no more tape is needed.. so happy the drains are out, they didn't bother me but they hindered my wardrobe choices lol now I'm feeling anew & I couldn't stop thanking Dr. Ortega (Dr. Snatched) his gifted hands were surely turned on for me lol next follow up is in a month & by then I'm sure all my DAY ONES will have had their surgeries by then & we will all be in different stages of RECOVERY & that's so exciting to me lol
S/O to Blasian.Beauty for being so STRONG & getting through her surgery which was also on Friday June 23rd with Dr. Ortega yasssssss boo you made it love xoxo now it's the getting back to normal we have to work on lol
What type of scar cream have y'all used that has worked best.. I'm thinking about buying Mederma but am also looking for recommendations, thanks. I have attached some pics, happy Sunday to all??

Aaww thanks hun! I'm getting through this little by little and I thank you so much for your motivation and encouragement! It has helped get me this far! Thanks for following my journey and allowing me to be apart of yours as well! #TeamSnatchedTwins lol :) ❤️❤️❤️
Loving the bikini!! I haven't bought one yet. It looks great on you!!! ❤️
Wow! Beautiful results! You are definitely ready for the summer!!
Hi, you look amazing. I bought Biocorneum on Ebay for 70. I saw here another lady with amazing results and she said it was that cream.
You are too cute! Loving your pics and your big smile! You look so happy and I know it's cause you look wonderful! For my scars, so far I have tried silicone sheets, mederma, and Biocorneum. I'm actually reviewing Biocorneum now if you wanted to check it out. So far I have liked all of them though

Scar Reveal

Hello dolls, hope all is well with everyone..! Well last night in the shower my incision tape finally fell off so I got to see my TT scar for the first time & its PERFECT omg Dr. Ortega (Dr Snatched) is a phenomenal artist, can't wait to see him on Friday..! In other news, I still am not experiencing any pain whatsoever, my breast incision tape is on the verge of falling off but it's not there yet lol I have no breasts swelling & TT swelling is still minimal.. I am now wearing a waist cincher (a pull over the head kind) love it, I put the binder over it as well & that has really helped drained fluid from my lower abdominal area which is great.. just found out I have a friend who is a certified massage therapist & specializes in lymphatic massages (look at God), I not have to pay them anything so they say but I will tip considerably since they will be saving me a bunch of monies.. I'm cooking, cleaning, driving, grocery shopping, practically everything EXCEPT rolling in the sack lol won't be doing any of that until I'm at least 2months post op (don't want to risk anything avoidable by being impatient).. well I've included my TT incision pic & will continue to update my journey as much as possible.. thank you all??

Cleavage alert! Love it! Haha! Looking good girl!
Hey love, thank you.. they are dropping nicely & I'm super grateful for that.. how are things on your end love..?!
Everything is good. Just problems with swelling! I'll get there!
Looking fantastic! You're right, incision is perfect!!
Thank you love.. how are things going on your end, I read you had a stubborn breast how's that developing..?!
Yes! My left breast hasn't dropped...it used to be firm though and it's getting softer..not sure if that means it will drop?! Just saw my doc last week and the plan is to wait the full 6 months and if it doesn't drop, he will surgically drop it. It's not noticeable though, only I know it's there. Which I'm greatful for b/c I can't imagine going through summer with crooked boobs lol!
You look wonderful hun!!!
Thank you love, appreciate it❤️
You're healing well! That TT scar looks thin.... I am so glad that you're so informative! It really helps us ladies going up next. Thanks and you're looking amazing.... but you knew that already LOL...
Hey love, have you made it to Miami yet..?! The TT scar is amazing perfected Dr. Ortega (Dr. Snatched) took his time frfr.. you're welcome & thank you love, I believe the more information that's given the better it is for anyone that's up next or recovering as well.. a lot of reviews on here are a hit it or miss & I want to be a HIT lol.. & yassssss thank you love, can't wait to get these drains out Friday so I can wear my faja, form ab board & binder lol
I know that's right! And yes that's true and you're already a hit lol. I'm in route to Miami now.

I was thinking of buy the breast band but I see that you didn't need it.
Hey doll, I actually had bought one band size 34 & it felt too tight (asked several ppl who have used one & they say it's suppose to be that tight YIKES) I haven't worn it & my breasts are dropping nicely without help so it's not a necessity.. you could buy one just to have in case you do need it though.. August will be here in no time love, you're almost up next.. I'm so excited for you..!
OMG I can't wait, I'm doing diet and do a lot of workouts, trying to loose at least 10 pounds. Your transformation give motivates me. I hope to look as good as you :-)
