Highly recommend them to anyone considering a plastic surgery

After enduring the challenges of obesity and undergoing bariatric surgery, I embarked on a lengthy quest to enhance my well-being and physique. Following the birth of my second child, I ultimately made the choice to have a Mommy Makeover (MMO) at Spectrum Aesthetics, a decision for which I am immensely thankful. Let me emphasize by saying that Dr. Mel Ortega is a true professional in every sense of the word. Dr. Ortega is a straight shooter, honest, caring & an artist in his field. His knowledge and experience in the field of cosmetic surgery is evident, and I was immediately put at ease by his calm and confident demeanor. During my consultation, he patiently listened to all my concerns and answered all my questions in detail. He took the time to explain the procedures to me in both English and Spanish, making sure I fully understood what to expect. He introduced me to the Anesthesiologist and their team to go over some medical questions to clear me before having my procedures. This level of care and attention to detail is truly commendable and something that sets him apart from other physicians. Since my recent cosmetic procedure, I have been already receiving numerous compliments on the remarkable outcome. My self-esteem has significantly increased, and I feel rejuvenated and vibrant. I cannot praise the team at Spectrum Aesthetics enough. Their exceptional service, from the user-friendly digital app to the thoughtful follow-up calls, has truly exceeded my expectations. The convenience of using the app and emailing for communication has greatly streamlined the process and made it more efficient. Being able to easily connect with the team and access important details about my procedure, as well as provide necessary information, made preparing for my surgery a breeze. However, I want to highlight a post-op mishap that I experienced, which had nothing to do with my actual procedure. As a single parent with two children, including a four-year-old, I faced some challenges and difficulties. As a patient, it is CRUCIAL to diligently adhere to post-operative care instructions and prioritize self-care after a significant surgery. Thankfully, the staff at Spectrum Aesthetics provided unwavering support throughout my recovery process. The follow-up calls from the professional team at Spectrum Aesthetics truly showed their dedication to their patients. I was so impressed that they even called me on a national Holiday which I assumed the office would have been closed. They checked in on me regularly and made sure I was comfortable and healing properly. It was reassuring to know that I had a team of experts supporting me throughout my recovery, their support was invaluable. I highly recommend them to anyone considering a plastic surgery procedure, because their commitment to patient care is unmatched. I am incredibly grateful for their care and attention during this difficult time. It truly made a difference in my recovery and overall experience. I cannot thank the team at Spectrum Aesthetics enough for going above and beyond to ensure my well-being and recovery.

These are some pictures of how I looked before my MMO and after at just 3 months post op. I had my surgery in October of 2023. It is going to take a year to fully recover and for the swelling to go down but I am happy with my results.

These are some Before and at my 3 month Post op After pics. I'm still healing. My healing process is taking longer than most due to experiencing a wound dehiscence on my 3rd week Post op and traveling back to my state.
