Just wanted to update my profile. It has been about five years since my mommy makeover. I start posting on realself, after experiences problems with my tummy tuck. After, consulting with many plastic surgeon in my area, I could find a doctor who could fix my problem. One of good friends referenced me to Dr Daryl Blinsky better known as #drfixitmiami. I had surgery on 2/9/17. He removed the scar to make it look better in appearance. A fat graft placed under incision to improve skin ability to blend into natural skin and diminish impression of scar. The tummy tuck surgical incision scar took on a deformed appearance related to opening and separate from incision line months later after procedure. The surgical scar incision scar was irregular and very dark in color. He performed a surgical procedure called, "pickle fork", which is exclusive to his practice. It designed to lift scar from the abd wall. The scar is given a better appearance. The procedure is good for individuals who are not able to have scar revision due to lack or tight skin. I received full liposuction to front and back torso including inner thighs. Amost 4 liters fat removed. Only 4 liters can be removed safely governed by the state of Florida. About 7 days post-op. Will continue to keep you updated.

I am having trouble too with a tummy tuck from ortega. right following surgery a part of my incision remained red and now 12 days later I have an open 'quarter' (coin) sized gaping unhealed wound, with the looks as though another an inch away is beginning. Non smoker, followed all my directions, took all my meds etc etc, yet here |I am.

I am very sorry that happened to you - he is a very unskilled surgeon. Dr. Ortega is a butcher.

It's a swing door they do so many of them cause it's so cheap but it's not good work and many people get botched work or infection.

Tummy Tuck nightmare

It has been a year since my tummy tuck surgery, it all healed. My tummy is still not how I wanted it. The surgical line is irregular. One side is higher than other. I had difficult time returning to Miami to follow up with Dr Oretga. I am from Maryland. I found a Dr.Michael Cohen. He is a surgent and Plastic Surgent. He is excellent. Love him to death. He attempted to correct some of the flaws in the incision line. I would love to have a revision performed, but
