I had a breast reduction and lift on September 27, 2023, and the procedure was surprisingly almost painless. Prior to the surgery, 1 day before and the morning of surgery you have to wash with hibiclens antiseptic soap. You only wash the area that the doctor will be operating. I went to Memorial west hospital to have labs done the day before surgery. The day of surgery, I had to check into the hospital 2 hours before my surgery time. One of the nurses started an IV, and introduce me to the team of nurses and doctors. The nurse asked me wipe my entire body using theses large warm wipes; My surgery took about 2 hours; After the surgery, I was in very little pain. This was my very first surgery ever. My pain right after surgery when I woke up was at a 2 on a scale of 1-10. I never took the pain killers that the doctor prescribed to me. I followed all orders of Dr. Morales; such as no lifting 10lbs or more, no walking, no lifting your arms above your head, no stretching, and he advised to use soaps like (Dove) when showering. I believe I was able to shower the 2nd day after surgery. I’m not going to lie, I was a little scared to wash my chest area, because I thought that I would make it worst. Well if you don’t wash your chest area pretty good, you can start to develop a fungus called yeast. This fungus grow in warm moist environments, and you really don’t want to complicate your healing process; Which is why it’s important to wash yourself thoroughly while in the shower, and dry off completely. If you need to lay down on the bed naked for a few minutes to completely dry I highly recommend. I was in a 36DDD. At times, I would be at a F cup depending on the store Dr. Morales took me down to a 36 C.
Difficulties:
It was very difficult driving, due to all of the bumps and pot hole in the road. The first week it was very difficult showering and washing your backside, and also washing your hair. I highly recommend washing and styling your hair the day before surgery.
1 Week F/U appointment:
My first week follow up appointment went well. Dr. Morales and his beautiful nurse took their time with me and answered all of the questions that I had as it pertain to my healing process. They also informed me that I was healing looked really good, and my recovery is going well. Dr. Morales and his nurse removed the 4 stitches that I had. This was a little painful. Once the stitches were removed I still felt the pain later on that day.
1 month F/U appointment:
Dr. Morales and his nurse examined me, and started to removed the surgical glue that I still had over the incision. Once the glue was removed from my nipples, they just began to itch a lot. The doctor advised to rub some baby oil or bio oil on the areas where some of the glue was to lift up the remaining glue. The doctor also recommended the scaring cream that he sells in his office to place on the scars to reduce scarring. Once again the doctor complimented how fast and well my recovery is going.
My next F/U appointment is in January of 2024, which will be my 4 month F/U appointment. Overall, I’m so thrilled would the surgery. Dr. Morales is a miracle worker!!!! He made me feel comfortable from the moment I spoke with him during my consultation. He actively listens to your needs and concerns, and he invites you to ask him whatever questions you have. Dr. Morales and my husband hit it off from the moment they saw one another. They talked about the Dolphins, UM, and the heat. Both my husband and Dr. Morales are huge fans of the U and the Dolphins! Dr. Morales was soo amazing that my husband also wants to write a review. His staff is very pleasant, professional, and sweet. I highly recommend Dr. Morales. He is truly the BEST that has ever did it. He’s board certified, and has been practicing for 30 years plus. Ohh by the way. He looks super young too, one of the most down to earth doctors I have ever came in contact with. Highly recommended. You won’t be disappointed at all. Dr. Morales you definitely exceeded my expectations!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR A PHENOMENAL JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dr. Ramiro Morales and his staff deserve my utmost appreciation for their fantastic work. I feel that the abdominoplasty he performed on me changed my life. The care and attention I received from both him and his staff were exceptional. There's no need to travel to Miami to find a great professional like Dr. Ramiro for plastic surgery. He will assess your needs and provide expert recommendations. He did an outstanding job with me.

I did a breast augmentation with Dr. Morales and my experience was amazing. From the check-in process at the hospital to the recovery, everything was a breeze. I was a 32B cup before the procedure and got 405cc ultra high profile implants. I’m 4 days post-op and haven’t had to take any medication for pain. His technique was amazing. I’m very happy with my results already and they aren’t even my final results. I’d rate Dr. Morales a million stars if I could. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

No surgeon could have understood me better. I wanted my breasts to look just like they did before I had kids, I wanted them not large but full and natural looking. Dr. Morales could not have made me happier. He was spot on with size advice, shape, etc. The whole process was seamless. His team was great, always responsive. Memorial hospital Surgery center was great, put me at ease vs. having surgery in an OR in a doctors office. 2 weeks post op and My breasts look beautiful.

I had surgery with Dr Wonderful (as they call him at Memorial West) 3 yrs ago and it’s by far the best choice in plastic surgery and surgeon I’ve made in my life. From his bedside manner to his amazing staff. All great people.

My first procedure with Dr. Morales was a Breast Reduction. Everything from the consultation to the recovery was great! His staff was very helpful. Now I’m about three weeks post opp and the healing has gone very smooth. The results were better than I could’ve imagined! He picked the perfect size and the shape is amazing, aside from the inevitable scars the overall result was beautiful, symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing. Being the second person in my family to have undergone a produce with Dr. Morales, I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to get this procedure done!!!

I have been going to Dr Morales for about 10 years now. I am so happy with every procedure I have done with him. I am so much more confident in my body now and with that it has brought me an overall confidence in myself. I have sent all of my friends to him and everyone has been so happy with their results. I love that Dr Morales does all of his surgery in the hospital. That just makes me feel more comfortable. I also appreciate Dr Morales' honesty. I have gone there sometimes asking to do a certain procedure and if he feels I don't need it he will tell me I don't. Dr Morales is a kind, caring, compassionate and skillful physician and I highly recommend him.

I got my cosmetic surgery with Dr. Morales on November of 2020 and I couldn’t be any happier with my results (very natural). The Doctor and staff were very friendly, caring and transparent with me throughout the process. I was looking at other places to get my surgery, but ultimately selected Dr. Morales because of his level of professionalism, knowledge and fair prices. I’m not one to write reviews, but I must say that I am thrilled with my results and am so glad I made the investment to do this surgery with Dr. Morales. If you’re considering getting work done, I highly recommend Dr. Morales.
