Tummy Tuck - Miami, FL
ORIGINAL POST
I always wanted a tummy tuck. I have three kids...
WORTH IT$4,000
I always wanted a tummy tuck. I have three kids and I'm 41 years old. My doctor is doctor Mel Ortega he does great work but I felt he could of spent more time with me. I felt rush. But other then that everyone at the office is great especially Jenny. Everyone is so very helpful and if your coming from out of town you should stay at the Element Hotel because you won't need to rent a car they have there own shuttle to take you anywhere from 3 miles and the clinic is less then that. They took me and my best friend to the clinic and pick us back up. It was amazing

Great results!!!
August 25, 2014
Wow! You look awesome hun... Dr. Ortega does an amazing job from the reviews I have seen =)
August 25, 2014
Thank you so much and yes he does. I am here at my appointment and praying I get these drains out because I will be more mobile, you know. I'm very limited in to what to wear
August 25, 2014
The only thing I don't like is the waiting, you know my appointment is at 10:30 let's just say and there is like 3 girls waiting to see the doctor
August 25, 2014
I'm assuming you paid $4,000 vs. $40,000? =) Thanks for you reviews and pics
August 25, 2014
Yes $4,000 sorry if I wasn't clear. And I will take better photos once these drains come out

I am having my surgery on 9/27. You look amazing. How is your pain?? I am concerned about being in pain and I live out of state. I am afraid I will be in pain when I come home and no one will be able to help me. I guess they provide you with your prescriptions there and you fill them nearby? Sorry to ask you these questions but sometimes the answers I get from the doctors office are so short and some of the questions don't even get answered. It's kind of irratating talking to them. I get more info on here. :)

Well there isn't any "pain" but super super soreness, tenderness. I can't say pain but a lot of soreness. Where are you having your surgery at? They gave me prescription for pain and antibiotics and make sure you take them as follow and get stool softener because this will help you use the rest room. And it's no bother ask me whatever it's fine, I was the same way with wanting and looking for answers. Just get up and force yourself to walk around your room for about 10 to 15 minutes every hour trust me it helps the healing process. My doctor was impress with me when he saw me the second day visit.

You look great. I love Jenny. She is so sweet. Even though you didn't get to spend much time with doctor your results looks amazing. When I was there I met people from Canada and Texas flying in to have surgery. It was very busy and staff is all so wonderful
August 27, 2014
Yes Jenny is great but there are some people working there that are not professional. My friend went in to have a consultation and they was suppose to email her with a price and never did now she is gonna get her surgery some place else. I wait for the doctor for the drain to be remove for over two hours. Now that's crazy.
August 27, 2014
You look amazing I know your so happy right now. I can't wait to the swelling goes down
August 27, 2014
August must be a very busy time for them :0 When I went there they were on time with everything. Did your friend call to say she didn't have a quote yet. Maybe they have the wrong email. When I emailed them before I get a reply within 24hrs. Maybe it depends who you have. Maybe the girl that was supposed to send your friend got fired
August 27, 2014
Thank you. Yesterday was my 2 months and my tummy is still a little swallon. I can't wait to heal completely.

August 27, 2014

August 27, 2014
Totally agree and can't wait. It's going to be a long wait but it will be definitely be worth it. Thx for your support. Keep us posted =)
August 27, 2014
When is your tummy tuck? And make sure you keep us posted I can't wait to see your pics.
August 27, 2014
Well I am hoping to make a deposit for my BBL which I'm planning on having done around April 2015. Then once I save money for the next two procedures I will schedule a date for my BA and TT together but we are talking about maybe 2016 for the next procedures. I know it's a long wait but I will be going to Dr.Ortega at his own facility Spectrum and once I made my deposit this Friday t will lock in my prices and I will have 18 months interest free to pay off for my procedures. Great deal bc I don't qualify for credit care or any of that;( but I'm eager just to make my deposit to get even more worked up just thinking and dreaming about how I will look after my first procedure ;) can't stop looking at pics and reading the reviews
August 27, 2014

You look great! I'm having my tummy tuck on the 22nd of September with him. Us yours an extended tt? He said mine will be. I need it post some pics!
September 1, 2014
Yes it is and thank you so much he did a great job. Make sure you buy Arnica pills because it will help with the bruising. Are you getting lipo?
September 1, 2014
Yes I'm also getting lipo of waist and flanks. I have read up on those pills I have to buy them. Did you start taking them before the procedure or right after?
September 1, 2014
I took them the day after surgery and the pills is so much better the the cream it took away my black and blues quick
September 1, 2014
That's on my list of things to buy along with the ensure juven drink. Thanks for the tip. I'm so nervous about the whole thing. Did you get lipo of waist and flanks also?
September 1, 2014
Why ensure? And yes I did get lipo and that's the worst of the whole tummy tuck lol I drank cran berry grape juice and lots lots of water. And get pineapple juice for the swelling. I had chicken noodle soup but from the Spanish restaurant it's not so salty I had that for like 3 days and toast for breakfast and make sure you walk every hour for 10 to 15 minutes it helps with the healing process and prevents blood clots
September 2, 2014
The ensure is for tissue repair. I'm not sure if it'll help but I'm going to try it. You look great though I hope my belly button looks that good in the end lol
September 2, 2014
You are gonna look great because he is gonna take good care of you OMG the scar look amazing it's super thin the only scar that looks a look bad is on the side where the drains were
September 21, 2014
It's starting to look really really good. Please once you guys plan on getting a tummy tuck done but Scarfade and the wrap Gel Zone it's amazing and my scar is really thin and fading and is smooth
