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.
