It's been 3 years now and I'm still having nerve issues and hardened breasts. I'm finally in a financial position to try and get this repaired but I'm not sure anything will help. I can't even begin to say how Dr. Feng has damaged my body. All I can say is stay away from her.

Nerve Damage and Calcified Fat in Breasts
divagirl23June 25, 2014
I wanted to update my story with Fat transfer to breasts and liposuction with Dr. Feng. Since my surgery almost 2 years ago, I continue to have numbness, shooting "electric" shocks running up and down my left leg. I saw a neurologist who specializes in nerve damage and she concluded that the damage is a result of the surgery and recommended physical therapy and muscle relaxers. It seems that my sciatic nerve (major nerve in leg) is now causing the electrical shocks I feel all the way to my toes.
As far as the fat transferred to my breasts, ALL the fat Dr. Feng deposited is hard and calcified. She injected them in big blobs making it impossible for the fat cells to survive. Any qualified surgeon doing this surgery knows that big blobs of injected fat do not survive. Fat must be injected in small droplets and spaced out in order to survive. I have had extensive mammograms, MRI's, ultrasounds to rule out cancer. Each time I have a breast exam, it's a nightmare because of the way she injected the fat.
I simply cannot believe her incompetence. Everything she did to me (liposuction and fat transfer) was a disaster. To think she takes NO responsibility for her mistakes shows gross negligence in my eyes. I would NOT recommend her to anyone seeking this surgery.

Also all the tramatic events to her body after that trashy surgeon feng done that poor woman , severe nerve damages, one leg bigger than the other , her breast fat transfer was dead tissue , because she put it in her body , in large excessive amounts , so the cells died !!!! You must have not read her entire story or you would not be so offened by my comments to Sue her and press charges !!! Come on $15,000 dollars I would catch a case a woop her ass !!!
August 25, 2014
I did read the entire story. It is civil, not criminal. Police should be called for criminal activities. She has other remedies outside of the police. Relax.
August 25, 2014
Well thankx for your opinion , but I still believe it is a criminal lawsuit , because she knew that this woman was not a good canidate for the procedures done ! Either way she should file charges in court and let justice be served !!! And get a full refund !!! Well no offence intended ,
Take care !!

I actually cried for this womans horrific pain and deformities from this Doctor !!! Just saying shes in m heart and prayers and I pray she gets justice !!!!!!

Jojorenee - Thank you for your sympathetic words. I can see you are a kind hearted woman and I appreciate your empathy. I try not to dwell on the anger too much anymore since I realize it only adds to my trauma and it's not emotionally healthy for me. I am still very DEVASTATED and incredibly sad, but I've tried to move on with my life.
I've focused on work, friends and family but I haven't been able to be in a romantic relationship because I'm mortified of any man seeing these body deformities. I definitely don't wear swimsuits anymore. I usually just wear longish shorts to the beach.
I haven't been able to afford to fix things yet but I'm saving up. I think the corrective surgery is going to be very expensive. The last quote I got was over $20,000 and that was a year ago. I'm sure the prices have gone up.
Anyway….thank you to everyone for your support and kind words. I hope that you all have better experiences than I did. If you need any advice or more insight into my situation, please PM me. I would be happy to help.

If you cried fir this, you would really cry if you knew what this prosthodontist in Lyndhurst did to my face. She collapsed it so badly I was paralyzed in my neck and left facially disfigured. Look at my pictures.

Wow so sorry for your experience. Thank you for sharing it. I will not go to Feng for my explant. No way. Please just explain why didn’t you sue her??? It’s not that hard. I actually regret I didn’t sue my surgeon who did my breast augmentation 10 years ago and botched areola scars :(

Numbness Continues
divagirl23February 14, 2014
It has now been well over a year since my surgery with Dr. Feng and the leg that she over lipo suctioned is still very numb and painful. I can't begin to explain how this has made my life more difficult. I wish I had never had surgery with her.

I am so glad you had the courage to post this review. I recently had breast implants - worst thing ever and i had them removed as soon as i could. But alas my real breasts couldn't stand the trauma and i have been researching breast fat transfer just to restore how i was before any augmentation. The lipo scares me as i really have no issue with the rest of my body. Did you use Brava? How much lipo did you have to have and how much did she put in your breast? Of course the LAST thing i want is another traumatic thing to regret. I am soo sorry this happened to you. I hate hearing about doctors who ignore patients with poor outcomes, like it is somehow the patient's fault.

Thank you for your kind words. She took over 800cc's total but used poor judgement on where to take it from. I would not recommend her for this surgery. PM me and I will tell you more.
June 25, 2014
Hi There. I wanted to touch base to see if you had your surgery. Did you have your surgery? PM and I will give you more information about the Brava, etc. I know quite a bit about these surgeries and I hope my insight can help you.
June 25, 2014
Thank you for the thought. I haven't had the surgery yet. Taking the time to make sure I find the right doc. Thankfully, my breasts have recovered some - enough that with the right swim top i don't feel too weird at the pool with my kids. I did see Dr Hartog in FL for a consult and I was a bit perplexed by the meeting so i am continuing the search. I am 5'9 and a little over 140lb -not fat, but certainly not scrawny and he said the most he could transfer to each side would be 150cc. I don't want a lot, but i was hoping for something closer to 300 since i plan to use BRAVA. I thought it was strange because another reviewer on here JaKho is very petite and he transferred 300 to each side on her and she looks fabulous. Also, he seemed totally unconcerned about the lipo incisions and where they are placed - maybe docs feel this way but i've read enough reviews to know that patients often care. Other than those two things i think he really does know what he is doing and would do a good job. I think Dr. Ahn may be the next consult...

I actually had my 1st surgery with Dr. Ahn. Though she was careful with the lipo, there is a scar on my stomach about 5 inches long. She also put way too much in the cleavage area so my cleavage line is almost not there. However, I will say that her judgement regarding lipo was better than Dr. Feng's. Let me know how your consult goes.
