Still Flat Ass After BBL, $8500 Down the Drain? - Chicago, IL

UPDATED FROM ch3rrybl0ss0m

Dr. Jafer Joffrey was my doctor

$8,500
Sorry I took forever to update. But this was such a negative experience for me, I wanted to kind of ignore it and pay it off since nothing was done about it.
He offered to do a "free" fat transfer, but I would have to pay $6,500 for the additional liposuction he would have to do.
So, at the end, nothing happened. I signed a form before the procedure (stupidly) not to sue and since he did do some work, and results vary, I was advised I had no grounds.
This whole experience really broke me mentally and financially.

Hey, so sorry you're not satisfied. I've never heard of your Doctor, but I'm from UK and only really looked at Dr Aslani, being that Spain is much closer for me.

Do you have some after photos you'd be willing to share? Xx
I'll upload some sometime this week. Its not pretty. :(
what a crappie surgeon, I hope there is no more customers for him
I would still sue.
Sorry about your experience.
Very sorry to hear, I would sue

P.s I know that results of your ''perfect'' butt...

P.s
I know that results of your ''perfect'' butt are not guaranteed, but since the procedure is for a butt augmentation, at least give me a bump!! That's all I wanted! A round butt with some shape!

Wow! First of all, you should not have not been awake during the procedure. That is crazy. I would file a formal complaint
I see you're getting yours done with Dr. Salama, did he tell you he was going to put you under? I didn't know I would be awake til' my pre-op appointment. Then told me it would be an extra charge if I wanted to go under plus I would have to change my date. Then again assured me I wouldn't need to do that, because ''i wouldn't feel pain''.
I'm going to go on Monday and see what happens. I have to go get my stiches removed. I wish I could of gone to Miami!!! Good luck with yours! I'm sure you'll look fabulous!
You should've been asleep and yes you need to report him ASAP
yes he did. also, it sounds like you got smart lipo. aggressive lipo seems to be needed for perfect results with this procedure. also, the fat is supposed to be processed and etc before being injected back into the body. idk, but i would file a complaint cuz u spent a lot of money
Yes it was smart lipo. I don't know if the fat was processed. I couldn't see, but I honestly think he didn't inject it where it should have gone. I don't think he knew exactly what he was doing back there....
**smart water lipo
That is absolutelyyyyyy crazy! This is NOT a "doctor." You should absolutely report him ASAP! This is my 2nd time as well trying to achieve my "booty". I am scheduled with Dr. Pazmino for august in Miami. I too, wanted Dr. Salama, but he is seriously booked until next year. My first doctor was extremely experienced with lipo, BUT NOT the fat transfer part. I was basically jerked out of my money, but that was 4500.00, which is around the price of just the lipo procedure. I was his 2nd *maybe even first* patient. I however, was put under completely. I felt NO pain whatsoever and I felt awesome literally the next day. It is unfortunate you had to experience something like that. You can inbox me if anything. Good Luck and don't take this situation lightly girl!
This is crazy cherryblossom, I have even gotten my bbl but if I am awake no thank you. thats not a minor surgery thats a big surgery. I am shocked that ur experience went that way. And always feel free to walk away because a Dr. should always be confident in there work like dr. jimerson with the money u spent u could got it with him and the results you were looking for. I am sorry to hear u had to go through this and spend the amount of money ur right he shouldve atleast gaven you something for the money u paid. Lays now we know if a doctor refuse to show pics then to me thats a red flag dont show me one show me many.
Have not* correction
I'm going to go see him tomorrow. Been thinking all day what I'm going to say... I'll keep you all posted!
ORIGINAL POST

For YEARS I dreamed of having a nice bubble butt....

For YEARS I dreamed of having a nice bubble butt. I saved some and some im in debt for it. I decided to get it for my 30th birthday. I was excited, nervous, scared... what we all go through before surgery. I did my homework, looked up reviews in lots of websites, visited a few doctors. My ideal would have been dr. Salama in Miami. But i couldn't make the time and accomodations for my daughter to be taken care of. and me going alone.... anyway, so i decided to choose this dr. even though he was charging a little more than the rest. I read nothing but good about him. I mean for God's sake he comes out in the news every now and then talking about some new procedure. He's been quoted in popular celebrity magazines. So I thought, this is my guy!! lots of good pres.. right. When i went into his office in the booklets he has a pic of a bbl. yes only 1. i asked if they had more and they told me no one likes to give concent for their pic to be displayed but assured me he had done a lot of brazilian butt lifts. I scheduled my procedure went throught the whole thing... they said i wouldn't feel a thing and that most patients resume their regular lives a day later. So the big day came. i went in they gave me 3 valiums waited 20 min, and took me to the little room. The nurses preped me, the Dr. came in he just started going at it. injecting me and stuff. with minimal talk to me. then he just went to work sticking me with that huge neddle thing sucking all the fat out. I was in pain!! I accidentally almost grabbed my side and he got mad and barked at me i could mess him up! after all "you're in surgery, having liposuction while awake" the whole thing was painful! after he did my abdomen and hips, the nurses got the needles ready with the fat for the transfer, he told me to turn around , injected my butt with the anesthesia and righ away started filling in with the fat. That was super painful. to the poing where i started to cry. I think i have a high tolerance for pain, but this was just the worst pain ever. after he finished with all the needles. he took of his surgery scrubs and walked out. just like that. the nurses put maxi pads on me with some band and then put on the compression garment. took me to the room to get dressed and told me my ride was here. and that was that. the next day i got a phone call to see how i was doing.... and schedule my next app to remove the stiches. now is 2 days later and i am not satified with my results. my butt is still flat!!! the side view looks the same!! 8500.00 to me is not cheap. so im really dissapointed. has this happend to anyone else? Im adding some pics so everyone can see what im talking aboout. the first few are from before. then the others are 2 days after surgery. anyone with similiar situation advice on what you did with this issue. thanks.

WOW!! I'm so sorry that happened to you! Was this surgeon in Chicago? It sounds like you may want to speak with an attorney... imo...
Wow sorry to hear what happened. I am located here in chicago and plan on having the procedure done next month.I truly hope the surgeon that did your surgery is not the same one that is doing mine. I hope everything works out well for you.
Who is doing yours?
Dr stein . Who did yours
Dr. Jeoffrey. - good luck!!
This is definitely a HORROR story!!! I'm am very sad for you that you had to experience such a thing:(( it makes me cringe!! The doctor definitely needs to issue a refund and some hush money because if I were you I would put his azz on blast n seek an attorney to say the least!! Also file a complaint with the board! It's a little to late to ask this ... But I'm wondering if you seen his before n afters??? He's a joke
I was gonna go with dr stein he did my friends bbl... really good job I just decided to go with salama cause of the experience good luck with your
Yes, Chicago. Do u see the 'after' pic!!!! My butt is still flat!! :(
what! you couldn't tell us the name of this so call doctor
If she can't put the doctor name out then it didn't happen. Nothing happened. Your just posting just to be posting..now if you do release the doctor name, then I apologize and take what I said back.. but we need to know who so we would not make the same mistake and he needs to be put out of business. .please share the name
I didn't post it because I was trying to work something out with him. At the end, we didn't agree on something that made either of us happy. I don't have a problem Adding his name now.
Wow. Sorry you had such an awful experience. Did this "Dr." offer to fix this? Would you even want him to?
Who is this doctor now???
