WORTH IT$6,000
I have been trying to do this procedure for over 5 years now and its crazy to think I am finally getting it done. I am getting everything done with Dr. Ortega at Imagenes Cosmetic Surgery. I have read so many reviews a lot bad on both the clinic and the Dr. I must say that so far I have been very lucky. My coordinator Maria Karla is seriously the best ???????? she has always stayed in contact with me. As for the Dr, they sent my to do my consultation with him at Spectrum since thats were he normally works at. He was amazing. I read in a lot of reviews that he is rude and rushes through but that was not the case with me. Hopefully my results are great as well ????

Congratulation on your new body. I am so Jealous! Thanks for sharing your story. I reallyreally want a mommy makeover, but I am deathly terrified to have both procedures at the same time. I too, want a breast reduction, but I don't think my boobs is big enough for a breast reduction, even though everybody say they are huge.The go well with my body. My husband claims he love them. I think he just trying to make me feel good. I think the gravity of them hanging is the worst part. I already have paid my deposit for a tummy tuck, but I am really considering adding a reduction or lift instead (I hope I get that option). I haven't had a consult with Dr. Ortega (Spectrum) yet, because 1. I am totally confused and of course, scared 2. I haven't had the opportunity to get to the office. If you don't mind me asking what size was your breast and when you did the lift did they remain the same size. Mine is currently a 36 - 38 F, G. I need to lose 50 pounds and they probably will go down to a 36 DDD. I so hate how they gravitate towards the floor. Its disgusting. I can't wait. Girl enjoy and show off your new body. When I get mine, no one will be able to tell me anything.

Dont be afraid if your going in go all in!!! 2 birds one stone lol! Before surgery i was using a 36d right now most of my bras still fit me with tje exception of some really tough push up stapless from VS they are really stiff so they dont really mold on too my breast. Prior to surgery my husband would tell me the same thing about my breast. I did not do a reduction only a lift. My breast might seem a little smaller but i couldnt be happier and my husband loooves how perky they are lol! Plan out your surgery with time and take a few consults. I had a few and I was really stuck between Dr. Fisher and Dr. Ortega. I went with Ortega because hw acepted my carecredit and because his breast come out about perfect every time and i have seen lots of reviews on his TT and he does great lines. I know Dr. Fisher lacks a little on the breast side but he is amazing with the stomach and lipo. Its really on who makes u feel comfortable and who will give you the best results.

Hi. I have a question, why does your skin looks like that (belly and boob). Is it infected?
September 16, 2016
Hey, read my previous updates. Its called Necrosis. Its not infected. I had poor blood circulation on those areas and suffered from dead skin.
