What I tell doctor Cortes each time I… What I tell doctor Cortes each time I go for a check up is that he did a much better job than mother nature and he is much more talented than her too! I mean my body before the surgery was regular, nothing to write home about, maybe the sagginess on the tummy and the fat, but those would have been negatives, other than this, nothing impressive. I had an hourglass tummy tuck with a breast lift and now I look like a celebrity, no jokes about it. I adore my body and I can’t believe it is possible nowadays to dream of a body and actually get it. I look now like in my wildest dreams and it was doctor Cortes who made it possible for me. The procedure was about four hours long, I didn’t have any complications and I am telling you, girls, go for it if you want to have the body of your dreams.

Six months ago I had an hourglass tummy… Six months ago I had an hourglass tummy tuck with dr Cortes. The surgery went all well, no complications and I left the hospital in about four hours after. It was all good, until the pain started to be more intense. After the effect of the anesthetic and pain killers were gone, the pain was pretty bad, but I took the pills prescribed by the doctor and it was better then. I couldn’t sleep too well on the first night after the surgery because I was used to sleep on the tummy and this is not recommended after the tummy tuck, but soon I got used to the new resting positions. Before the surgery I didn’t know that I am supposed to walk with the back bent not to put pressure on the incisions and also to sleep with the knees bent. Also, I can tell you it is much easier to get off the bed if you keep a few pillows under your back. The first days can be quite a challenge, at least this was my experience, but in time you get used to things and it gets easier. It was about two months or more until I could walk with the back straight and sleep on the tummy. The swelling was gone by this time and the tummy was like I wanted. My procedure was successful and now I am committed to keep a good diet and exercise from time to time to sustain the results of the intervention. I was pleased with how Dr. Cortes managed the procedure and my recovery period. I can say that he is very attentive to the patient’s needs and quick to answer all requests. You feel looked after at all times and this is important because I heard that many doctors forget to answer their phone after the surgery and this would have scared the hell out of me. I recommend dr. Cortes, he is amazing at these hourglass procedures that he invented. Just look at the results of other patients and you will see what I mean.

If someone would have shown me pictures… If someone would have shown me pictures with my body two weeks after the hourglass tummy tuck I would have said I am never getting surgery in my life. There is no sugar coating this, it looked terrible. I was so bruised and swollen my husband was afraid to touch me anywhere. I had bruises even in areas that were not treated during surgery and I was swollen even down there. The doctor said it is called fupa (fat upper pubic area). Well, mine looked like it just eaten a kitten. I didn’t know what to do and each time I called the doctor he said it will subside, nothing to worry about, put some ice on it. Each time, the same thing, that I have to be patient, magic doesn’t happen over night. At this point I wasn’t waiting for magic, I would have been happy just to get my old body back and get rid of all the swelling and bruising. It was after two months that my body started to look better. I looked online and most women don’t have so much swelling after three weeks. For me it was like getting worse and worse until it started to disappear. After three months I was ok, not so freaked out anymore. But even when the tummy and the waist started to look better, down there things were the same. It looked fat, but the doctor said it is just swelling. I didn’t understand how it could be swollen only there, Dr. Cortes insisted I give it a bit more time and if in a few months I’m still not ok with how it is, he can do a bit of lipo there too. In the end it was mostly swelling, I didn’t get the lipo procedure because I didn’t want to risk getting all swollen again. Now that I had it and I see my flat tummy, and small waist and I see that my husband looks at me like he’d eat me, I think it was all worth it. But when I think at the pain and the swelling, and how I thought it will never go away and I’ll be like this for good, I don’t think I’d have the courage to go through it over again.

I am 32 years old I am 32 years old, not married or any children and I work in fin tech. I decided to get breast implants not so long ago, as I realized that just joking about how small my breasts are all the time was just means to let out frustrations. I was not comfortable with having breasts so small, more than this, I think that feeling like maybe I am less feminine than other women has affected me on a deeper level than I have realized until recently. I think that I used to push men away with a too masculine attitude, despite the fact that I was always trying to wear feminine clothes and it was rare to find me in anything than a dress or skirt. My first meeting with Dr. Cortes was short and seemed a bit like sealing a business deal. He explained what happens during surgery, what implants he recommends and why. This after measuring my body, he asked a few things about my lifestyle, but I didn’t fell like we connected on a personal level. I don’t know if it was him or me, but he has been recommended as the best of the best and after seeing pictures of his past patients it was very clear for me that he is the one to do my surgery. One thing that maybe was a turn off about the consultation was that he asked about children, if I want to get pregnant. It felt like an intrusion in my personal space, it is a very delicate topic for me. He explained that he asks about children and pregnancy because the results of the procedure can be altered if I get pregnant. Because of the hormonal fluctuations and the weight fluctuations, the breasts might become saggy, even after surgery. And there was also the breastfeeding issue that he mentioned, the milk production being limited if implants are too big. Anyway, it felt very awkward him talking about all these things, for me it was like from another life, from another planet. Didn’t make any sense. I mean I understand that he only did it so I was informed of what can happen, but it was certainly not my concern at that moment. Two months after the surgery my breasts were just perfect, proportionate to my body, completely natural and so inviting. I think I become a completely new person after getting my breast implants. Dr. Cortes is a great Dr. and his support after the surgery was priceless and highly appreciated. I am glad I ended up having the procedure with him. I recommend Dr. Cortes to all women who want to have the bust of their dreams.
