30yr Old, 3 Csections and over Weight - Houston, TX I don't know where to start! From the moment I called for information to the most recent check up,it has been nothing but the most incredible care. I love Dr. Morales! He gave me back all the confidence I seem to have lost with every pregnancy and weight gain. Everything is top professional care. Dr. Morales makes you feel comfortable and takes the time to answer any question or concern. He gives you honest recommendations and makes sure you are always informed of every detail. I would highly highly recommend him to family,friends and anyone looking into cosmetic surgery! I can't remember the last time I've felt so good. No matter where the Army (military wife) takes us if I ever need anymore procedures I will come back to Dr.Morales.
34 Year Old, 126lbs, No Kids, BBL with Breast Augmentation - Houston, TX I ALWAYS knew I wanted a Breast Augmentation but decided I would wait until I turned 35 years old. As I began looking into surgeons I decided to consider having a fat transfer procedure as well. I began looking into realself and going through videos but there was not a lot of US procedures...everyone was going to the D.R. for their experience so of course I freaked out at the thought of doing a BA and BBL together. I found Dr. Morales website and watching his videos truly calmed me... his voice was quite calm and reassuring that yes this is surgery but on the other side you will heal fast and I (Dr. Morales) and my team will take care of you throughout the process. With that being said, I set up my consultation. During this time we went through what I wanted and what frustrations I had. I knew I wanted a breast augmentation but over the phone Linda (the coordinator) thought at 126lbs, I may not quite qualify for a BBL. So while meeting with Dr. Morales, I gave him the frustration I had from working out and not getting the results I want to see. He instantly showed me his realistic approach and advised of all of my options which BBL was one. His biggest concern was making sure I didn't have a wish pic in the back of my mind that he needed to know about which I thought was a very good point to make. Most of us want realistic results but have someone in mind that may have been photoshopped. I truly just wanted the fat in my stomach to go somewhere else so we were on the exact same page. At the end of our meeting he seemed genuinely excited about helping me which means so much to me. I went to one other consultation with another doctor and he seemed as if he could care less... put me in 300cc sizers told me anything else would look a mess, grabbed on me and quoted me a super high price. He couldn't even remember what we had discussed when he came back in 3 minutes later...the only thing he remembered was my boots...smh I felt as if I had no say so in my future except cash or credit. So me choosing Dr. Morales was sealed that day! After booking my surgery, my personal life started to change really fast. I had a family situation I was dealing with the day of my surgery but Dr. Morales came in and saved the day. He spoke from the heart about his situation with his family and promised me he would take care of me while I was in surgery. Let me make note that this was my first surgery ever so I was totally nervous but him staying calm and patient reassured me that all would be well. They put me in the bair hugger forced air warming gown (which I'm personally not a fan of... Thermoflect heat reflective gowns will always start patients warm and keep patients warm... but that's another story) and shortly after I was walking into the OR. I got on the table and before I got completely settled the anesthesia team was at work (they moved so fast I could cry...lol). I woke up and instantly started trying to see my results...lol I was nauseous but the crackers they gave me helped so much. I was required to fill my prescriptions at least one week prior and bring them with me so we didn't have to stop for anything on the way home. Dr. Morales gives you everything you need for recovery (except a boppy pillow which will save your entire life...lol) so when I got home, I already had my bed made up for post surgery recovery. I say, the first night was hard (thank God for RN friends) but after that, I had a strategy for getting up and getting back into the bed (my bed is high so it was hard). The next day, I went for my BA follow-up. Dr. Morales removed the bandage from my breast and put me in a sports bra. The pain for the first 3 days on a scale of 1 to 10 was about a 6 but the more you move the easier everything gets. I've read where people needed a urinal bedside and that was never the case for me (so of course I wasted money buying that). Also, I didn't have any drains which I'm so thankful to Dr. Morales for sparing me that horror experience. All of the moving around helped me because day 5 of recovery my family matter got real and I found myself having to drive to the airport and fly home to be with my family. Let me say this... how you D.R. girls do it, my heart goes out to you. I sat on my boppy pillow (and of course got the side eyes I expected but there was too much going on in my life to care at that moment). My butt felt like rocks. Dr. Morales works hard to shape you up right so I had a huge concern about messing up any work but he reassured me that everything was okay which it was. Due to my situation my 2 week follow-up was at week 3 in which I was taken out of my abdominal binder and put into my compression garment. The only thing I did was add the waist trainer on top of the garment. I actually kept this thing on 23 hours a day. I purchased a separate garment that allowed me to wash the one Doc provided me with but did not harm my BBL I also needed something I could wear a dress with. At week 4 I started my lymphatic messages (thank you Dr. Morales for comping the first one). Again, you D.R. ladies... HOW DID YOU DO IT DAY 2 or3... HOW...lol Ms. Natalie was so patient and apologized as my body levitated off the bed. It was more painful than the first 3 days of recovery but afterwards I felt so good. I don't have any advice about how to get through it but I will say don't avoid it, you need to move that fluid and start to heal. I am now at 2 months and still healing but EVERYDAY gets better. I love my results and I'm grateful for my Doctor!
Stunning Tummy Tuck I had a particularly difficult time carrying and giving birth to my two children, and while I would do it all again, I can't say that I was pleased with the state it left my body in. All the working out in the world would not give me my tummy back and I was also experiencing pain in the area. I was completely nervous about so many aspects of this, and plenty of people warned me off of the procedure completely...but the pain was bad enough and the frustration big enough that I decided to take the chance. I lucked out when I found Dr. Morales. He was so easy going and meticulous with me right from the beginning. Once I talked with him, I was no longer worried frankly. He exudes this calm confidence that is extremely reassuring in an "elective surgery" kind of situation. I knew it was going to go well. And...I was right. I am now almost three months post surgery and I am so happy I could cry. My tummy is back and the pain is gone. I had no idea you could have a surgery that major and not bruise. Seriously, I had no bruising to heal. And, I am totally geeking out about his work on the incision. I show every other doctor I go to (including my allergy doctor), because it's STUNNING. I am doing everything he tells me to do and I swear I have never seen such a thin incision and it is disappearing more and more everyday. I swear, it is going to be virtually invisible in no time. The man is an artist. Seriously. NOTE: DO EVERYTHING HE TELLS YOU. I can't even understand why someone would go through the expense and recovery from something like this and not follow post-surgical instructions to the letter. It pays off. Big time.
Butt Implant Sooooo my big day is Wednesday. I'm extremely excited but the anxiety is killing me. I have so many questions. Well not really I kind of know what to expect but I'm dying to see the final result. I guess that's what I mean by "questions". This is my third procedure. 1st being a breast lift then I had implants 1.5 years later. I'm not too worried about the actual surgery. My main concern is the overall outcome. My frame is very tiny (130 5'5) and I don't want anything visible. I've read so many horror stories over the past few days that I think I'm gonna chicken out : ( . SIKE !!!!! There's no way. I'm way too excited to chicken out ! Well guys I'll keep you posted. If anyone can give me kind of an idea as to what to expect that would be awesome. I'm only finding reviews of just butt implants or BBL but nothing of the two combined ? Someone please help ! Pics coming soon! I forgot to mention that my recovery is easy breezy so far. I was so worried after reading reviews on the actual recovery process but honestly it's not that bad, YET. When I got my implants it was soooo painful even riding home from the hospital was painful. Maybe they gave me magical meds but yeh I feel fine so far I went threw my phone and deleted every single before pic. Sorry guys I wanted those memories very far in the past but t I didn't manage to get this one. I'll try to look in my social media accounts to give you all a better idea as to how bad it was.
Great experience I am overwhelmed with the experience with Dr Morales. He is the only doctor I had consultation with, prior to my surgery, and I made immediate decision to chose him as my plastic surgeon. He made me feel as comfortable as possible during every visit. The surgery went really well and I was given the best care by Dr. Morales and his team. I would definitely recommend anyone to chose Dr Morales.
Finally...Boobs! - Houston, TX I have wanted breast implants since I was in college. I never really developed much, and although it didn't really bother me, clothes didn't fit the way they were supposed to fit. That got frustrating! I had two children (age 28 and 30) and we decided our family is complete. I breast-fed both of them for over a year each. I got a taste of what it was like to have larger boobs! Woohoo! And then... I stopped breast-feeding. My boobs got smaller...if that is even possible. I decided to have a consult when a friend of mine had a great result with Dr. Morales. I felt very welcome when I met everyone at the office. Pictures are weird...but a necessary evil with this type of procedure. I will say I loved that Dr. Morales didn't look at my chest while he was taking photos. He looked at the screen on the camera. It's small things like that that matter to me. I felt very comfortable after that. Trying on the fake sizes was very helpful! Fast-forward to the day of surgery! I was very anxious as this was my first time to "go-under". And I had been very hesitant because of pain. But I paid $300 extra for a different anesthetic to be used on me while I was in surgery. It was a 3 day pain relief I think..and it worked very well! I had very manageable pain, and my incisions never gave me any problems. Great placement too by the way! It took a few weeks for me to be able to wash my hair ( as expected). I am now 4 months post-op and I am so happy and would do this again in a heart-beat! My clothes fit as they should now and I think I look fantastic!
Breast revision/augmentation, 575cc to 800cc Had my initial breast augmentation 4 years ago, the results...well, one breast higher than the other which created the illusion of an even smaller breast, unevenness and much disappointment. Went back to my original "super experienced" plastic surgeon and his claim was "the problem is what you started with" if i remember clearly i never had a weird looking boob like that. Obviously, he talked and acted according to his dinosaur techniques. Also, the size of the implant wasn't what i expected, I am 5' 9'' broad shoulders, and the implants looked too small for my frame. After much research I found an excellent doctor, Dr. Morales. He had so many pictures and described his work in full detail, by far the best and thorough explanation of every single procedure. I went to see him, and decided on going big..800 cc from 575 cc originally. The results are amazing, he evened out my boobs and fixed imperfections I didn't even realize I had. Minimal pain, quick recovery, no scar tissue...nothing.
57 Years Old and Had a Tummy Tuck and Lipo of Flanks, Bra Line, and Back - Houston, TX I decided to have a TT and lipo of the flanks, bra line, and back due to the fact that with age my body was getting fat deposits and losing tone. Walking and diet had not been able to take care of my torso area. I was getting "my mom's body shape" and I knew that I didn't look as good in my clothes as I would like. After I went for my consultation and paid for the surgery, I kept questioning myself on my decision. "Am I too old to go through this?" "Is this going to be worth it?" "Is this a waste of money?" I'm sure many of you have thought the same thing. I am so glad that I did go through with the surgery. Even though I still have minor swelling at a little over three weeks out, I am amazed at the difference in my body. I feel great and have had no major issues. My surgery was on a Tuesday. From the time I walked into the hospital, everyone was kind and caring and made sure that any questions I had were addressed. I stayed in the hospital the first night and I had a compression garment on that wrapped around me and Velcroed in place. Wednesday I went to a hotel since I lived four hours away and my doctor wanted me to stay close for a few days. Thursday my doctor sent a home health nurse to check my incision and answer any questions I might have. Took my first shower this day also. I had read that pinning the drains to an "exercise band" draped around your neck would help during shower time and it definitely worked great. Friday I came home after an appointment with the doctor to check on how things were going for me. 10 days after surgery, I went back to the doctor to have my drains removed. I had heard stories about the pain associated with having the drains removed, but thankfully I had no pain at all. At this appointment, they also changed me from the wrap around compression garment to body suit type of garment. This new garment is like a body suit that goes from a bra at the top to my knees. It is like a girdle for the entire area and is a lot more comfortable than the wrap around garment. 17 days after surgery they took the surgical tape off my incision. The stitches will dissolve. I now wear steri-strips over the incision. Day 30 I will go back and they will start doing scar therapy. My scar is already a VERY thin line and looks good. The pros for me have been many. I love my new shape. Even with a little of swelling still, I look a lot better in my clothes. I know my confidence will be helped also since I feel that I look better. The only cons I can even think of are the expense and being restricted on activities for now.
51 Years Old, Weight Loss Loose Skin, Very Unhappy with my Appearance. I had had weight loss surgery and lost a lot of weight. This left saggy skin all over my body. A friend that had used Dr. Morales for some procedures recommended him. I was a little nervous at first but was put completely at ease by Dr. Morales and his staff. He did a complete evaluation and recommended procedures. He did a great job of answering my questions and his educated office staff. The results are much better than I imagined they would be. I can't tell you how happy I am. I wish I had done this sooner.
Amazing Doctor Dr. Morales performed my breast augmentation. I couldn't be happier with the doctor I choose. He is amazing! I was really nervous going for my initial consultation not knowing what to expect and not having any plastic/cosmetic surgery before. Dr. Morales and his staff really listened to my concerns and put my mind as ease. On the day of surgery Dr. Morales made sure I understood the procedure before it was performed and answered all my questions. I was really impressed that leaving the hospital he gave a bouquet of flowers. Dr. Morales and his staff went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of from the moment I walked in the door my first consultation. I highly recommend Dr. Morales and his staff for any type of cosmetic/plastic surgery! Beyond happy with my choice in Doctor and my results!
