I’m day three after my breast augmentation surgery with Dr. Cortes, the pain has subsided and I am feeling more human. It wasn’t simple, I’ll tell you this. The day I got home from the hospital I felt that nothing changed, aside from a feeling of being tired, I felt like I could do things around the house, talked to my hubby without getting too tired or speechless, but once I fell asleep, I woke up in pain and like the first day didn’t existed. I couldn’t find the pills fast enough. In the evenings and at night the pain is worse and it is accentuated by the fact that I can’t sleep on my back at all. My hubby said he’ll get more pillows and arrange them so I will feel better, but he didn’t get a chance to go shopping yet. Other people told me that the pain will last no longer than a week, but right now it feels it will take forever this week.

I’m also worried a bit about the scars, I saw doctor Cortes yesterday and he said everything looks good and there is no sign of infection, this is great news, I thought I was a bit feverish and thought maybe the incisions got infected, but no.

Dr. Cortes was great before the surgery, he gave me lots of confidence that things will be ok. He is the best possible when it comes to patient’s care. So accommodating and kind and friendly and at the same time very professional. Now we have another follow up consultation in a few days, I hope he’ll say everything is ok.

The breasts are really big, I think a bit bigger than I expected, and they feel like rocks at this point. I have a tension sensation in the chest, probably the implants stretching the tissues. At this point is not very comfortable, but Dr. Cortes explained it is only temporary and normal. I’m looking forward to see how it will evolve in time and when the breasts will descend and soften.

I’ll get back to you with how the healing will evolve after this week, wish me luck.

I got an hourglass tummy tuck with breast implants with dr. Cortes and people that see me who haven’t seen me for some time can’t believe it is me. I mean, truth be told, I never looked this good, not even before I had children. The damage that was done during pregnancy was like completely reversed and my body is now my real temple and such a fine looking one! I had the surgery with dr. Cortes about a year and a half ago and it took less than four months for the results to be final, the breasts were a bit hard for a bit, but with daily massages the situation improved considerably in no time. I also had to wear the belt to get the breasts to descend, which was weird and unexpected, but it did the trick and the breasts got softer too in time.

From the moment I met dr Cortes for the first time I knew he is the one that will do my boob job. I went to meet him after a friend recommended him. This was after I had three other consultations with surgeons but I just wasn’t convinced. One of them didn’t even see me personally, which I think is weird and wrong, the others seemed to be very rushed and seemed like they just wanna seal the deal and move on to the other patients. With dr Cortes was the first time I felt that someone is genuinely interested in my story and listens to me. More than this, dr Cortes has this style, he always asks why you want to do this, how do you think it will help, what do you want to achieve with the surgery. For me this made all the difference in the world as I felt that he will be able to look after me once the surgery is done too.
Dr. Cortes took enough time to do the proper physical examination and we had a look at implants, he recommended the gummy bears and I took them in my hands, god, they feel great! It’s unbelieve how good they feel to the touch and I like the idea of having a firm shape of the breasts too, for me is important for them to be up on the chest and perfectly round, lots of upper pole fullness. Some might think they will look not very natural, but this is how my dream breasts look like and this is what I am going to get. Dr Cortes said a high profile will do this for me, so I went with all of his recommendations and now I can’t wait to see how I’ll look after surgery. We talked a bit about what will happen during recovery and he mentioned swelling and bruising, I expect a lot of that and to last forever because this is how my body reacts, but it’s all good, I’m prepared and not worried in the slightest.
My boob job is scheduled three weeks from now, they managed to find me a spot before the date we scheduled at the consultation, and this is something that I appreciated a lot. They scheduled me in two months after the consultation, but it was a bad time for me with the kids school and all and I asked if maybe I can have the surgery sooner. They said they’ll do their best and a few days later I got a call to reschedule. Very, very, very nice and friendly staff, I couldn’t recommend them more!

I’m 38 and two kids, I’ve always had small breasts but when breastfeeding I had for the first time something like more normal looking breasts. I was almost obsessed with the aspect of my breasts. In time I became an expert in push up bras, this after stuffing socks inside the bra as a teenager. I had bras with water pads, silicone pads, everything that was invented to make breasts bigger, I must have tried it. It looked good with the clothes on, but didn’t help at all when going to the beach and getting intimate with my partner. I was very firm about the bra staying on at all times, including during sex which many partners found weird. Anyway, I would make life choices like where I live, what I did for fun, what clothes to wear depending on the small size of my boobs. I tried pills after a friend said she had an improvement after a month of using them, but for me they didn’t do anything aside from accentuating my body hair which was terrible because I hate it. I am shy and emotional and didn’t think I have it in me to undergo plastic surgery but my mother was very supported and held my hand all the way.
When I met Dr. Cortes I was all sweaty and anxious, like I was planning a brain surgery. We discussed about my aesthetic issues and also my confidence issues and he suggested a surgical plan to help me. The name is wonder breast augmentation and he used gummy bear implants as these are apparently the best possible. From no chest at all, now I wear a D cup and I couldn’t be prouder. The clothes look different, I can go into any shop and there would be literally hundreds of options to choose from. Before nothing looked good and it was such a struggle to find clothes.
Dr. Cortes was amazing with me. When I saw the pics with patients he done surgery on I thought this is for others, not for me, but now I look exactly like that. With amazing breasts, perky, hot and just perfect. If you are shy and struggling with confidence issues, Dr. Cortes is the best choice. I felt understood and confident that he can really do the job.

I got the best push up gift ever – new, bigger breasts. If you were ever jealous on the big rings that celebrities show off in the reality shows, you should see my boobs, it’s totally worth it! I was following Dr. Cortes on Instagram ever since I got pregnant because I knew that as soon as I gave birth I wanna see him to make some corrections ???? I knew for sure I wanted lipo and bigger breasts. Even during pregnancy, my breasts stayed the same. I wore the same bra before, during and after I gave birth. Like absolutely no change, no milk, no nothing. Very frustrating, but no problem because it helped me get the surgery sooner.
I told my hubby that surgery is gonna happen as soon as possible and that this is my push up gift and he agreed and went with me to the appointment with doctor Cortes, three months after I gave birth. Doctor Cortes said it is still too early to schedule a breast augmentation, even if I am not breastfeeding because I might still experience weight loss. He urged me to wait at least six to eight months to get rid of all the baby weight because lipo is much more efficient when the patient is a normal weight. He said that if I was breastfeeding I should have waited at least eight, nine months after breastfeeding stopped. I was excited to get my new breasts, the best gift ever!!!!!!! I didn’t even feel the recovery period coming and going, I just wanted to see the results, I was on auto pilot all that time. I did what the doctor said and wore the post-op bra, did the belt and took Arnica Montana supplements and didn’t have any complications.
When my baby was one, I was already looking like the hottest momma ever, exactly like I wanted. And my breasts are to die for! It’s crazy what a little lipo on the tummy can do combined with the perfect implants. Now I take my baby to the park and everybody thinks I am the nanny because no new mother can look so hot!
Thank you doctor Cortes for your support and advice, everything was great and I would do it again in a heartbeat. If I can convince my hubby, I’m thinking about getting maybe some butt implants too in the future! Maybe as a cool bday gift!

My husband wanted bigger breasts and he kept suggesting this like since we met. He is very much into huge boobs and I was a very clear A cup. He always says I wasn’t his type until recently (after my boobs job), so not in the first decade of our relationship. I think this is funny and it is like our joke, for him to ask for bigger breasts and me to complain he doesn’t love my small boobs. It was him who did the research and choose Dr. Cortes for a consultation. He was joking about following his work for many years, but I know he only started researching plastic surgeons after my third pregnancy when I started complaining that my breasts are not only small, but so low on the chest that I have to look for them in my panties.
Long story short, we went to see Dr. Cortes, appointment made by my husband who was also going to pay for the procedure.
I had the breast lift with implants and now I can see why my husband likes big boobs, they are just much more fun!!!!!!! Now even I feel like playing with them all the time, not to mention that my husband died and went to heaven when it comes to my boobs. I am his type now ????))
Dr. Cortes is very professional, and very good at what he does. I had a good surgery and no worried during recovery aside from some pain that I guess is normal.

Dr Cortes can be a bit of an acquired taste, in my opinion. I saw him about two to three years ago for a consultation for abdominal lipo and I wasn’t impressed at all. I didn’t go through with the procedure, there were other things in my life, some under currents that starting manifesting and required all my attention. Seven months ago I realized my tummy and breasts will never be the same as before having kids. It also became more and more clear that abdominal lipo won’t cut it for me anymore. I needed to have the surgery done, I needed a big change in my life and I knew that it was this: me, my body, all of me. I don’t know why I haven’t looked for another doctor, maybe it was this urgency feeling that I needed to do things right now and I already knew Dr. Cortes.
Maybe because this time I was much more interested in getting the job done asap, the doctor was more into it too. Or it was just my opinion, I don’t know. But we connected much better this time and he also confirmed that I needed a tummy tuck and breast lift too. But he also mentioned that I will look spectacular after the surgery and he will do this procedure with fat to the hips and I’ll look like in the telenovelas which was one of my secret desires since forever but I thought you are either born with it or no, didn’t think you can get it from a plastic surgeon.
I had both tummy tuck and breast lift in one surgery, as the doctor said it will be safe and no problem, but the recovery period was difficult. For a week, it was both the breasts and tummy that were sore and I find it difficult even to sit down or lay in bed. The discomfort didn’t last for too long, but it made me really aware of my condition as a patient and now I think maybe the doctor should have insisted more on this aspect. I am not sure that I’ll ever want to get another surgery if I can avoid it, but I am not sorry for the procedures I had. My breasts look 20 years younger than my age and so is the tummy. So all in all in was good for me to do and
Dr. Cortes was a good choice for me.

There would be times when I look at my breasts in the mirror and think that maybe my life would have been much different if I would have gotten them sooner, but then I remember the recovery period and think that maybe I couldn’t have dealt with this experience sooner.
I had my boob job in my 30s, after two children and a nasty divorce. Dr. Cortes said a breast lift with implants should do it. We discussed about the size for the implants and I didn’t want something too obvious because I work in a corporation where it is not always advisable to show off the femininity and it would have been difficult to show up at meeting with clients with huge boobs. At the same time, I really wanted something to make me feel feminine and alluring after the disappointment with the marriage and after feeling like being the one with the pants on both at work and at home. I wanted breast implants, but the doctor said the size I have chosen is too small and I need to go up a bit. He did the measurements, he was the doctor, I felt like I need to trust him on this one, but I was overly stressed until the surgery. After the surgery I was stunned and couldn’t believe it. My boobs were huge, exactly what I didn’t want happened. Huge boobs, high on the chest, they couldn’t look any more fake than this. I went and see the doctor and he said this is normal and after they descend it will be better. To be honest, I could barely sleep at night until I saw them becoming softer and lower on the chest.
I was also in pain after the surgery and so worried I’ll have to go through surgery again to replace the implants, I had a real hard time to keep the confidence and trust the doctor that all will be fine. He asked me to give it three months and if I am not happy we’ll discuss the size again. But after the breasts descended and softened everything was fine. I mean they are a bit bigger than I hope for, but I am a big girl and maybe smaller implants wouldn’t have been really visible at all.
The recovery was painful for me and a period in my life that I rather not remember too often. Maybe because I was also so stressed about the final results and my breasts being to big, but it was hard. The breasts look good now and I didn’t have any other complications.

I love Dr. Cortes now, but we had a bit of a rough start 😊)) I went to see him to get lipo and breast implants and after he examined me and weighted me he asked if I am happy with my weight. I said obviously not because this is why I want to have liposuction. The doctor explained that liposuction is not for weight loss and he can only extract fat from under the skin, but this will not affect the fat that is in the abdominal cavity. He also said that he can’t use liposuction on the whole body, just specific areas and if I want to use lipo for weight loss I won’t be happy with the results. In other words, he didn’t want to perform surgery on me until I lost weight. My first impression was that I should look for someone else to do the surgery, but then I thought so more and realized that he was just making recommendations for my own good and wellbeing. Also I was worried that he said that if I lose weight after lipo or gain weight, the results will be compromised. I thought I should give it a try and do as he said. I started a diet, I exercised more often and in 6 months I was back for another consultation. This time, things were completely different and Dr. Cortes explained again why it was not a good idea to get lipo when the weight is not stable or you are not happy with the weight. Also, now we realized that I actually needed a tummy tuck and also a breast lift with implants. If I would have got the implants and then lost weight, the breasts would have become saggy too.
Now I have a normal weight, my body looks fit and thin and my breasts are so soft and sexy. I’m grateful Dr. Cortes kinda pushed me towards this by refusing to do lipo in the first place, and I can’t respect him more for this.

Before having kids, I had a great body. People would stare at me on the streets, I always felt proud of how I look and I put a lot of efforts into making myself pretty and taking care what I eat and how much. The first pregnancy was unremarkable, I lost pretty much all the weight I put on after giving birth, my breasts felt a bit softer after I stopped breastfeeding, but I was still a sexy mama. After the second pregnancy things were very different. I gained a lot of weight, my breasts got very big and then completely deflated after I stopped breastfeeding, I couldn’t seem to be able to shake off the excess weight and soon I got very depressed. I started being very remorseful, and felt like having babies ruined my body and I was so not ready for this. I met Dr. Hourglass in a period when I was very close to divorce, I was angry all the time, I was snapping at people out of nothing, nothing made me happy and I didn’t see any way out.
Dr. Cortes gave me so much confidence during the consultation and for the first time in a long time I saw the light at the end of the tunnel. I went home and told my husband I am getting plastic surgery, there is just no other way.
I got an Hourglass Mommy Makeover, for me it was a tummy tuck with breast lift with implants and also lipo. This is extensive surgery and I thought I’m going to regret it during recovery because I’ll be in so much pain. I kept waiting for the intense pain to occur, but for me it never did. It is true that I was very careful to follow the doctor’s recommendation to the letter. I took all the pills exactly how he said, I did everything he said I should. I would have stand in my head for 3 months just to get back the body I lost!
The doctor told me during the consultation and after seeing pictures of me from before the babies that I will look better after the mommy makeover but to be honest I didn’t believe him then. Now, six months after my procedure, I can’t believe the results. Not only that I got my hot body back, but my breasts are crazy sexy. My relationship with my husband is great again and I think my kids are proud to have such a sexy mom!

My daughter was five years old when she said she doesn’t want me to take her to a school event because I am the fattest mom and she prefers to go with her nana. I felt so bad especially because I know she didn’t mean to hurt me, but it stung like hell. I was severely overweight and I had difficulties doing certain things like lifting her in my arms or playing chasing games with her. I know she suffered too, but until that day I thought things are like they are and there is nothing to be done about it.
After this I had bariatric surgery, it was hard and painful, but I lost a lot of weight and this made it worth it. I reached a normal weight in about a year after the surgery and I thought I would be happy, but I wasn’t really. My body looked like an empty bag. There was so much skin left everywhere that I had to be very careful when choosing clothes as I had to hide the sagginess. I didn’t have intimacy issues when I was overweight, but after the weight loss and with all the skin, I didn’t feel comfortable getting naked in front of my partner and this really put a dent on our relationship. Just imagine I had to lift the skin flap that was covering my pubic area to clean under it when having a shower. I was close to depression when I saw a video with Dr. Cortes on Youtube by accident. I didn’t consider plastic surgery before, but he was saying something like “the skin doesn’t go away after weight loss, just the fat goes”. I knew he will understand me.
I had an hourglass tummy tuck with a thighs lift and a breast lift with implants. I was reluctant about the implants, but the doctor said they will look great and are not very big. The recovery after plastic surgery was a piece of cake compared to the recovery after bariatric surgery. It took a few months for the swelling to go away, but now, nine months after I had the procedure, I look exactly like in my dreams that I never had the courage to share.
My daughter is proud of my efforts, and me we can play whatever games she wants now and she keeps saying “my mommy is the most beautiful mommy”. I feel it was all worth it and I would do it again in a heartbeat. I am just sorry I didn’t do it sooner.
