Liposuction: Stories

I had lipo in Feb. 2013. I was a size 4 with a nice body to start with, all I wanted was for him to clean up my flanks and little on my back. The results suck. He actually ruined my body, it looks bad, uneven and weird in the back. He does not respect patients' time, for my surgery I waited 13 hours from when it was scheduled. He does not provide a garment or even guidance regarding post op care. You need to get several garments, 3 days after the surgery you need to wear one at least 1 size larger because you will be quite swollen. Then you go through stages whereas you need to change the garment size. All he told me was buy a garment that's comfortable. Due to his lack of instruction I ended up buying 5 garments and paid about $700. He also told me the massages were 'optional'..OMG, without the massages you will develop lumps and swelling. I have spent over $1200 on massages (so factor that in). He does not have a file for his patient's so during each follow-up it's like he's seeing you for the first time with no information before him about what he did to you or your medical history..HUGE RED FLAG..The staff is beyond unprofessional and they are hustler's because they get a commission. By the way none of them are certified nurses and they assist the surgery..RED FLAG..To see him for a follow-up is almost impossible, he had me wait 5 hours once and 3 hours another time. I feel discouraged and I will have to go to another surgeon for revision. Do your research!! He is NOT Bd. certified, he is an OB/GYN. He takes the pictures right after surgery with your arms extended upwards to make it look at if your figure has clean lines, although there are bumps. For those getting fat transfer, the fat will be reabsorbed by your body, everyone in the waiting room was complaining about that. Visit several surgeons and do your research. Good Luck!! http://www.nydoctorprofile.com (click search at the bottom of page, put his name Ayman Shahine, and then click 'legal actions' at top of page.)

First things first all the pictures on this website are fake he has his staff put them up and post fake reviews ever wonder why there are only pictures on the table. He has extend your arms in the air so the butt look bigger and ur stomach looks flatter, the pictures from before and after patients are from two different patients. Wants only cash payment because you will never see your money again if not satisfied or if you change your mind. He will have you waiting for over 12 hours and if you want to leave you cant because he has you full amount in cash. He cannot shape a butt and he is not certified. You are never happy with results and he never takes responsibility all he wants is money and for you to spend more and more his consultations are scams he is a good talker he preys on minorites. none of his staff are certified nurses and will quote you a crazy price because they receive commision. The reason you are not put to sleep is becasue they will take away his medical license. You are in extreme pain when you are awake and afterwards. This medical prodecure when you are asleep not local anesthesia. There is no anesthisialogist. It is dirty in an office and not sanitary. We need to stick together and be honest with each other all these post are fake he has his staff do them spread the word this is our body we need to help each other he is a liar a scammer who just wants money you will never get the body you want he will charge you for touch ups

Thats too bad it didnt happen. It takes a lot to physch ourselves up to actually get to the office and mentally prepared. But for whatever reason it was not the right time for you. I had 4000CC which is a lot. Large volume lipo is very hard on the body. Hopefully you didn't pay anything??

Sorry to hear. I hope that all is well and you will get through this journey. We are here for you.

Hey...checking in. How did it go? I suppose you're on to part 2 of your procedure. Keep us posted.

Good luck hun

Good luck!

Good luck my sister went to him same stomach as yours and she looks great

I just had done what you are getting, Full back, full abs and inner thighs. He removed 4000CC. I was out. I had lipo 6 years ago under local and I felt a lot. But I am a very nervous person and adrenaline kicks in and I feel things. This time a nice sleep and overnight in the hospital with good pain meds.. The doctor ordered the garment and right in recovery the nurse pulled on the large CG. It has a full back and knee length with clasps on the front. They put some cotton underneath and it never hurt. It took me and the nurse to try to close it. I am 15 days and swelling is starting to come down. Lots of rest, feet up and just relax after. Lemon water, bromelain, protein and clean eating . I had a terrible time the first week as I was sick from the antibiotics what did I do. But now its so and clean eating. I had a terrible time

I have to tell you that the healing process from a tummy tuck was no big deal. I had it done in July and vacationed in August. The results were awesome. All this lipo I just had done was way way worse recovery time for me. I'm still feeling crappy. Good luck on your lipo! We all heal differently :)

Did you ever discuss a tummy tuck with your doc? The liposuction will not remove extra skin. That's what my doc said and I myself had a little hang that I'm hoping that by wearing the CG it will help. You're going to be fine. I was just as nervous and I made it through. You'll be ok. Keep us posted.

Have you even talked to a PS about a tummy tuck? The tummy tuck would have amazing results on you. I had a TT 14 years ago and it was amazing. I recently just had lipo on my inner/outer thighs, flanks, upper abs, and upper arms. They took aout 6600 ccs which is alot, but its only been 12 days and Im still swollen. It really is only going to contour my body so that its more shapely and not so much a "blob". I just worry that they're giving you too high expectations by just doing liposuction. Also, why are they not doing the outside of your thighs along with the inside? If you gain any weight later on, thats going to be one of the first places for the fat to go. Just tell him your concerned about it and maybe he'll go ahead and do the outer thigh at no additional cost :) It never hurts to ask. Your paying a lot for the areas he's doing. I paid 7,000 for all of my areas.

Good luck...... I have had 2 procedures done ( too much to do at one time) ....May 2012 (lower abs,pubic mons, flanks ) then in July 2013 (upper abs) ...i'm having another one done on Feb 26 2013 with another PS...this time i'm having my inner thighs, hips and abs (done over) I paid $4100 for each procedure already and now another $6000 ...you should check out compression garments from Veronique I had a custom one made for me for $325 it's the best investment I have ever made..
