Hello ladies.. I am starting this journey once again because the dr. I went to is horrible. Please I do not recommend Dr. Mel Ortega. I am going to post b4 my first bbl and now. I looked the same way since my surgery. I am embarrassed to show my pics but I have to in order to get the word out that he is shady. His office cheated me out of my massages, was very unprofessional never checked on me after my surgery. My patient coordinator was rude. I should of canceled and went else where but now I am on a search for a new dr. I will upload photos in the morning because my computer is trippin right now

Omg so sorry. I even cancelled my BA with him at Spectrum. Trying to fight for my deposit back. Too many bad things about this facility and the fact that 1 doctor isnt board certified and dont carry Malpractice insurance. Waste of money. Hope your 2nd journey goes better.

Who is not board certified?

I had my bbl done with Dr Ortega as far as my procedure it went well as far as his office staff they were horrible I took my sister with me who was on top of stuff for me when he came in the day of surgery he was great when I saw him for post op he was great his office staff can not follow directions for [RS bleep]...they did try to play me about my final payment once I got to Miami the day of surgery every piece of papers that they emailed me I kept and I had them printed and took them with me I opt out of the recovery house my sis took care of me I will say that I'm planning on going back to him but the experience has me prepared for all the airheads that's at the front desk....overall I had no problems with post op one thing I can agree on is that they don't do post op calls to follow up....Good Luck to you Doll

Wowwwi am going through the same thing, I am from NY and I had a BBl BL and TT with Dr. Ortega and I need a revision as well My butt is still flat and only look somewhat ok with the garment I did not pay money to have to wear booty enhancing garments. I had my BBl in Feb 2015 and TT in March I been calling and been getting the run around. My stomach is not flat this is the worst because I only went there because I was scared to go over seas. for all that I have been through I could have taken my chances in the Dominican Republic. Wish you luck on your new journey. I'm still inquiring abt a revision. I read on here that when you go back for a revision that they do a half ass job on you and you still pay.

My revision was actually WELL worth it. I paid $1,000 I'll upload some more pics but check out my 2nd review, its the one for the revision @Browneygirl

I asked for a revision. The patient coordinator said he suggested a tt,BA and revision for 7k. I was like hell no. It is not even safe to do 3 procedures in one session. I am glad you are happy but I cannot go back to him

I think we all need to link up for a lawsuit. Read my review....Dr. Ortega ruined my body.
August 11, 2015
I did a revision for 1,000 because I was unhappy with my initial results as well. I must say I'm loving the results now. My revision was on Aug 1st

I understand that I did not have much and to be honest I am being realistic but I am mad that he did not take the time to sculpt me at all. I mean yea he only took out 2 Liters which made no sense because I am 5'3 and was 165lbs. He could of taken 4 Liters. I look nothing like all the other girls that have had bbl's

I really feel that I was cheated out of my time and money. These doctors don't realize how much time it takes to heal and what these surgeries do to us mentally esp. when you do not even get close to what you wanted. No lift, no projection nothing. He told me I;m taking out 2 Liters and putting it all back into you. All the other doctors have told me that is not even possible because they have to clean the fat and also a lot of it would of been fluid. He prolly injected about 500 cc's which I will never know because that lame office because they would never even answer my calls or tell how much. The office I went to was Spectrum Aesthetics I am so embarrassed to post these pics but I believe I have to in order to let people know.

I had a BBL with Dr. Ortega in April. I'm SO NOTT satisfied with my results either!! On REALSELF Dr. Hasan is GREAT when it comes to projection to the butt!! Plus he uses drainage tubes.I think Dr. Ortega doesn't specializes in projection!! But remember sometomes u get what u pay for. Btw Dr. Perry works on REALSELF is great also. GOOG LUCK on choosing ur Dr. for Round 2!!

You are scaring me. I have seen so many reviews of women that have gotten the BBL with Ortega and they look amazing. I am kinda scared now.

Thats what made me go to him but you see my b4 and after. Not much difference. Just want to be honest cuz i want us all to get good results.

Who are you going to for your round 2 BBL?
User Avatar

I think I am going with Dr. Pazmino. He is in Miami. He did my sister 2 years ago and she still has booty for days and he is really nice. He will take your pictures and show you over the computer what you will look like after he is done and actually talks to you no rushing. He is a little bit more compared to other dr.s in florida but I think way worth it.
