WORTH IT$6,700
I had a huge vertical scar on my stomach that ruined my body I'm very young and I take lots of vacations so I definitely needed this procedure to enhance my beauty????. I got a breast lift breast implants liposuction on my flanks and a tummy tuck. I had 3 c-sections so that's why I needed the tummy tuck to get rid of the scar. I wanted breast implants they recommended saline and a lift as well. The liposuction on my flanks will simply make my womanly hour glass pop! I see dr Mel Ortega tomorrow for my first follow up. I still have my drains in and bandages I can't wait to see my new belly button and after picture of my tummy tuck and lipo.

1 week post tummy tuck lipo Breast implants breast lift
I've had sex twice already it was uncomfortable considering I still had Drains in I'm not in pain at all. I'm healing well only downside is I take a vacation May7-10th so I'm praying I'm ok by then. Still waiting on my boobs to drop I've been wearing this ban over them to help with that cause I have a breast lift the dr said NOT to massage

My tummy tuck scar is scabbed up but dr Ortega reassured me that those will fall off and I'll heal fine

Recovery house
Ladies ladies ladies do not book with Carla at the recovery house you're better off bringing a friend and staying at a hotel! I paid $1000 to stay 1 week at the recovery house the day I got there she tells me it's booked and me and another lady who was having surgery will be staying at her house. So I said well would I get a refund for the first night? She instantly caught an attitude put my luggage on the ground and I had to get a hotel. So I booked right behind spectrum at best western. So the next morning I had to be there for surgery at 7am I walked with my luggage mind you I'm not from Miami I'm from Chicago so this was very unprofessional. I got my surgery and after she picked me and another lady up to transport us back to recovery house. I get there twin size beds no good pillows which you'll need after having a tummy tuck flat beds no elevation and nurses who couldn't speak any English. I downloaded my Spanish translator to cope however me and another surgery busty slept on a recliner couch for 4 days! Never slept in the bedroom. The first two days the lady who was there helped like a mom she woke up in the middle of the night making sure we were ok. Now the 3rd and 4th night horrible complete opposite!!! The lady didn't feed us didn't help with the garment put her headphones on and was on her laptop another surgery girl who actually slept in the room because she had her booty done was in pain and was calling her we had to throw something at the outside glass to get the care giver attention to help like why do u have headphones on with a house full of girls who had surgery? We can not yell to get your attention! So me and surgery buddy decided to get a hotel best thing we could've did!!!! Right on the beach slip the cost ate great! Got a rental to get to our dr appointments. Now I tried getting a refund from Carla for days I didn't stay but of course she ignored me and said she'd put it back on the card which she didn't!!!! Oh but don't worry I definitely disputed it with my bank and got refunded the entire $1000 because they felt I didn't get the care I paid for!!! So guess what Carla I win!!! Anywho I do no recommend her rude ass to anyone please get a hotel!!!!
