The information presented in this web site is a brief overview of our procedures which is meant to be educational but in no way replaces an individualized consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. This information is offered as a general guideline and patients are encouraged to gather as much data as possible in order to make a more informed and educated decision as to their plastic surgery needs.

Although these procedures are viewed as “cosmetic” or “elective”, often times there also exists a true medical need and the circumstances surrounding each individual experience are unique and should be addressed as such. If you're considering cosmetic surgery, please speak to your plastic surgeon and request further information about the particular procedure you’re interested in.

Moreover, please note that all surgery carries some uncertainty and risk, including but not limited to the possibility of infection, bleeding, blood clots, and the occurrence of adverse reactions to the anesthesia. You can be an active participant in the treatment and recovery phase of your procedure and as well as minimize your risks by choosing a qualified plastic surgeon and closely following his or her recommendations, both before and after surgery.

The office of Dr. Mel Thomas Ortega is dedicated to providing the utmost in patient care and satisfaction. If you require additional information about any of the procedures listed below, please feel free to contact us and we will gladly schedule a consultation with one of our highly trained clinical coordinators who will be more than happy to assist you.
