How it works
  • Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

Update 6 months post op.

Ok here it is. Hey girls, I'm 6 months post op. I know it's going to sound crazy but I still don't fully sit on my butt, because part of me is still scared that I'm going to lose volume of my butt. I'm very pleased with the result as far as how big it is, because I made it very clear to my dr that I didn't want to have a huge abnormal looking booty. I just want a round cute one. And he gave me exactly what I wanted. I'm going to have tummy tuck done with Dr Mel Ortega in January 2015, but I'm going to post a separate review for that. I just wished I could've found Dr. Ortega first because it would've saved me a lot of money, and he does an amazing job.

15 days Post Op

Swelling is going down slowly but surely... I'm itching like crazy!!!!!! I feel like I want to rip my skin off. Benadryl and a lot of lotion helps though. My figure starting to show a little... I know it takes time for all the swelling to go down, but I'm so impatient and the itch doesn't help.

8 days post op

Back to work for 2 days now, driving was very uncomfortable, haven't really had any pain this last two days though. My lower abdomen area is very stiff, more like numb. Pubic area is still very hard, bruised and swollen, nothing abnormal though. Dr Alavi said that the compression garment is pushing all the fluid down there, but the swelling will go away overtime. Here goes some close up pictures, sorry for the mess in the background.

Dr Alavi and his staffs were really nice, he answered all my question and always called me back whenever I left a message. I'm an out of town patient, so that is really important.
