What Kids Can Do to You.... - Miami, FL
ORIGINAL POST
I am 29 yo married with 2 beautiful children....
WORTH IT$5,400
I am 29 yo married with 2 beautiful children. Before they came along, I was 125 lbs (5'4.5"). Post children I am 158lbs. However, the pounds seems to have taken over my belly. My major problem area is the abdomen. Now if you people ask you,"how far along you are or what are you having" then you know your abdomen is truly protruding beyond the norm. Anyways, I have been thinking about this for awhile. And have been doing my research on Dr. Mel T. Ortega. Besides the cost, I had a friend of a friend who went there and her body looks amazing after the mommy makeover. I'm originally from Miami but moved to NY. However, I am definitely going to have the procedure done there so I can get support from my family and friends. Ps i am scared to death. I want to make it out alive. Is there anyone else having this surgery performed around the same time or can speak about his talent?

Going for consult
So I decided since I will be in Fl to visit the fam why not schedule consult. Yes, I've already paid deposit but I had a few queations. And it seems the only way I will get an answer is to schedule consult. After looking at other RS members I wanted to discuss the outcome and if i can do lipo to upper and lower back for better results. (In addition to the flanks). Or what other areas needs lipo for maximize results? If so what is the cost? I don't want just my front looking good. My appointment is this Tuesday. Hopefully it goes well.

Post consult
I went in for consult with Dr.Ortega. I made it 17mins late due to traffic near the airport. No parking spot. The people at the desk were nice and were able to assist with parking. I went in within 30mins. I got my vitals done with weight check. He came in after I undress and states that he can definitely make some improvements. My main question was would he also be able to lipo upper and lower back to get better outcome. His response is he could only remove 4000mL of fat according to the state of fl. And by the looks of my abdomen and flanks it may be the max he can do. For my safety and for his licensure. Unless I lose 5lbs. Well now I will start a diet plan to get down to 155. So 8lbs to go to be in safe side. Uhhhhh. Ps will start after holidays.
