Dr. Ortega's staff were so nice and made me feel comfortable with having the breast lift. What I like the most was that they did not push implants on me, since I like the size of my breast. My scheduled date for May 7th. I will be flying to Miami with my husband. At this point I am excited and nervous about the entire situation....never thought I would be looking in to plastic surgery.

I had my initial consultation with Dr. Ortega on FaceTime

Dr. Ortega was down to earth and very honest about his medical opinion. He felt that I don't need a breast augmentation with the lift because I have enough volume. I agreed to just have the lift. However, I am mot as excited as I was before with getting an implant. My concern is that I will spend all this money and not have the result one would have when they have a breast augmentation. I am tossing and turning and think I am going to go back with having an implant. I just love the look it gives to one's breast...:) I will have to call Vivian and let her know that I am going to chance it and end up with bigger breasts to be able to have the roundness on the upper breasts....decisions, decisions...:)

If you have time, be sure to post some wish boob photos in your review. These will also be extremely helpful to the doctor. Keep us posted on the possible "implant" situation!

Photos are also helpful in getting more people to look at your review and hopefully provide you with supportive feedback.

Lol, when I saw men ortega I was like "475cc pls" hes like " no what size " I said D then he put me in the 435cc- 455cc range because he said I already have enough breast tissue. I was like no I want more! But I stuck with his decision & im happy with the outcome so far just need them to drop. Good luck ;) great PS we chosen!

My Breast Lift with Augmentation Review at Spectrum Aesthetics

I just wanted to take some time and write about my surgery experience with Dr. Ortega. Let me first start by thanking Vivian, who was very supportive from the beginning of my journey. She was always available to answer my questions by phone or email. When I met her in person, she was just as genuine. Dr. Ortega took the time to explain the procedure to my husband and I. He was nice enough to get my husband involved in the surgery process. Dr. Ortega had a sense of humor, which I loved because it calmed my nerves down before having the procedure. After the surgery was completed, I was already happy with the way my breast looked. I know that this is not the end result. However, he did an amazing job. It was just like he said during the consultation and stated " this is art for me." This was his master piece and I was happy with it. My husband said that this was a great experience for him to. I was glad it was because this was my birthday gift from him...:) He cannot stop looking at them! I really want to thank Spectrum Aesthetics for the wonderful job they did. I also want to say thank you to Lilllyflower because it was through her that I got to read her reviews and all the pictures she posted, which was how I got to know about Dr. Ortega. I will continue to write about my progress and post pics as they begin to heal.

Ohhh ok already they look great! Nice! I love your skin tone too! Can't wait for a few weeks to see the real deal.. What size you go they look big already ,, lucky.

It is only 330 on L and 350 on R. Yours actually look bigger than mine. Do you remember what size was your surgical bra they provided? Mine is 36D. I was already a big C...just real saggy...lol

I bought my own they never provided me with any. I bought C & D to make sure I have options.

They looks so good! Reviews like yours make me so glad I chose Dr. Ortega. Do you remember how long they made you wait before you could shower? I'm scheduled on June 26th, and since I'm a single girl I'm trying to plan all the logistics way in advance!
June 10, 2014
I was able to shower the following day. Just make sure the water is not hitting you directly on the breasts. Good luck to you!

Oh that is such good news!! Thanks for responding so quickly! I hope you'll post some updated pix soon. :)
