2 years post op, new pics - Miami, FL

I had the worst experience from this place and I think everyone should be warned not to go there. I travelled all the way from Australia to get a breast Augmentation Revision. The reason why I decided to go to Miami was because it was much cheaper than doing the revision in Australia. So I organised everything via emails and phone calls with my coordinator Blanca. She told me that I would have a pre consultation on the first day I arrived, my surgery on the second and check up on the third. Feeling good I pre booked everything and paid to have silicone implants with Jacob Freimen it cost me $3500 us and I was told that to secure my booking I must pay first. When I arrived at Coral Gables I realised how badly the whole place run was and this is what happened. I arrived for my pre consultation expecting to have it with the surgeon and they dragged me into this busy over crowded office to fill out all these forms. There was a lady dressed up in a nurse outfit who spoke barely any English and told me to sign all these papers. So I started reading the paper it was all saying CG takes no blame what so ever for anything that could happen, I was supposed to sign saying I had met surgeon he had explained everything, that I had received medications ( which I had not). The list goes on. I said t5o the nurse how am I supposed to sign any of this whn I haven’t even met the surgeon. When I asked her when I will meet him she said tomorrow. Feeling really stressed and upset I said but I have surgery tomorrow I haven’t even met the doctor what was the point in me coming in for a pre consultation without a surgeon. She said you miss see doctor tomorrow, surgery after. I explained that I did not feel good meeting dr on same day of surgery and that I had travelled all this was to have a consult with somebody who doesn’t even speak English to me. I asked if I could change surgery till day after meeting doctor and was told no. When I left I was told to come in next day for meet doctor then surgery in the evening. No one told me that I can’t eat or drink before surgery it was me who asked because I have had surgery before I know that you can’t eat. I was so upset and concerned about having surgery in a place like this, for one the doctor cares so little about his patients to meet them a few hours before surgery, also it doesn’t seem safe imagine if I ate food and went through with the surgery. I got back to my hotel called Blanca said I wanted my money back I explained to her how unhappy I was. She said there is no way you can get your money back. I said this is not fair I expected to meet surgeon and to be in a safe environment for surgery she still said no, but she changed my surgery date till after weekend so I could meet doctor. I asked Blanca by email if it would be safe for me to fly back to Australia 4 days after surgery she said yes. Yes its safe to fly after 72 hours. So I met Jacob Freimen he looked at my breasts for about 3 minutes and didn’t even touch them for more than a second. The whole consult was rushed, he recommended me 700 cc implants. Didn’t show me the sizes or let me try them on with a shirt. I asked him about flying he told me no. 7 to 10 days. The whole experience was so off putting, I left the consult being more confused than before I met him. It just did not feel right. I have had surgery before and I know that the way that I was treated at Coral Gables was just terrible service. Its so obvious that they don’t care about their patients and its so rushed, I can only imagine at how little care Jacob would do in MY surgery if that’s what his consult was like. I decided to let it all go, never went to the surgery. Was really upset I wasted all the money but it just did not feel safe there. The whole place is horrible, over crowded, unprofessional, they lie to you, steal your money, and I would never ever recommend this place to anyone. It surprises me that a place like this can be legal. Its not worth it don’t take the risk. And if you still decide to go there before you pay make sure you read all the legal documents carefully that they want you to sign. After you read it, You will change your mind.

I wish I had read these reviews first hand. I had my BA done there. And you're so right about how money hungry these people are. I had made a deposit there 2 years ago for Dr Ortega to do my BA. Unfortunately due to an unexpected passing of my husband I had to postponed the surgery for a later date. Fast forward to present, I called back CORAL GABLES COSMETICS and only to be told that Dr Ortega no longer works there. I was very disappointed. Because they wouldn't refund my money and its either risk losing your $1grand deposit or choosing one of their Dr's there, whose as cold as ice. Being said, I flew into Miami and the (CGC) place is like a freakin Central America Chop Shop. Crazy!!!! Then the money hungry Johanna (the pt care coordinator), didn't even make the time to be there to meet me. Instead I only get to meet Dr Scott Loessin on the day of the surgery. Where dealing with him is like dealing with Dr Ice!!! Omg!! What the hell did I get myself into. After the surgery, he didn't even bother to come check me or any patient at all. How disgusting!!! Then come follow-up day, they push a Nurse in the room on me to check my incisions, etc. Just nuts with these people!!! If I could do it all over again, I would've think twice before plowing down my money on these con-artists. Only to be worked on a Dr whose treated his patients like they're on Welfare and dealing with money hungry coordinators. Think twice about going to CORAL GABLES COSMETICS SURGERY CENTER!!! CHECK REVIEWES AND PAST PATIENTS REFERENCES. I LEARNED THE HARD WAY

Please people who had trouble with coral gables cosmetic center, report them to the better business bureau. DON'T LET THEM GET AWAY WITH THIS!

Sorry about your Dr .. Is your friend going to let him do her BA ? I'm happy u r happy with your results .

HI gatorgirl, I'm glad to hear you love your results and sorry to hear about the Dr. I think you did your job in warning your friend and it's her choice if she wants to go with this doctor. Could it be she's looking at the dollar amount versus your warning?

Hello, Just one question did you get silicone or saline?

I'm glad you got awesome results despite what you had to deal with. That's not the first I've read about that facility, and I'm like you, customer service means a lot.
