Its crazy how they play with the prices. My surgery was 7/23 with Dr. Ortega.. Spectrum was charging me 7,500 for a breast lift and extended tummy tuck with 2 sides of lipo.... I called Imagenes and they charged me $6,000 same procedure and same dr.

How was your experience with Claudia. I just booked my stay with her for Dec. I am getting a BBL a spectrum with Dr. Ghurani. When you did your booking how did you confirm your stay. I did everything through with her through text. Was that the same for you?
September 18, 2016
Yes I texted her she is very nice and kind hearted I stayed for 9 days my experience was great she knows her stuff listen to her and you will be fine if you going from out of town you have to send her a copy of your flight and a picture of you and the day leaving I sent her a picture from the airport so she will know what I have on you're in good hands

August 14, 2016
At sexyneddie I would love to see more pics if your up to it and willing I'm so obsessed I kno u can relate .. My coordinator said I have to the end of this month to lock the price what you think ? I'm Afraid if I wait the price might go up ... What think do they always have specials
August 14, 2016
I think if you really going to have it done you should lock in the price I don't know if they run special all the time I was lucky to get one of their special just do it the doctor who was going to do my surgery charge me 12,500 just for my TT until a friend told everyone about spectrum
August 14, 2016
Yes I'm really going to have it I have some money saved up .. Out here in Lousiana the Dr was gone charge 25,000 for mmo
