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. 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 has 4 lawsuits he has settled in 2 years (that is a lot for a surgeon, by the way). 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.)

i agree with with bxniki there are not alot of good doctors in NY but i sadly choose him and i have to deal with the consequences i see on here alot of women complaining i feel very stupid for falling into his trap because this is my body and our bodies are our temples i dont understand how people can do this... i am very emotional i commented on another post and i saw her review where she is not happy and i feel more comforted to see that many had the same problem as i did. i had my surgery at 4 am i dont think thats ok i dont understand thats not normal that should have been a red flag and i should have not have gone through with it. I was so excited and didnt do the proper research he is not board certified and his post ops are terrible. a women waited 7 hours just for a post op and she told me all he says is that u look great to go home i dont believe he knows what he is doing i think he just talks and rushes because he doesnt really care about his patients i think DR would have been better he has no idea what he is doing. i wish luck to all of you.

hey duped I understand how you feel this doctor dr. shahine is a fraud my sister went to him to get a nice round ass what came back was a big chunck no shape, also looks completely fake all it is is big and wide and alot of pain. this is not a surgery not to be done under local anesthesia. this doctor is not a certified plastic surgeon this is why it is done under local anesthesia. all he can do is talk the talk but can't walk the walk my sister is left with a big chuck of fat with no shape. what surgeon does surgery at 3 am and has patients wait 10 hours in a waiting room he is not professional at all and eats during surgery.stay away from this he is not a plastic surgeon.He claims everything is your fault and will charge you for a touch up. He is too expensive you are not paying for an anesthesialogist, all he wants cash money. GO TO A BOARD CERTIFIED PLASTIC SURGEON. this is not him.

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

Hey I did the procedure I can send you pics if you would like I submitted them to his blog. Journeywithdrshahine.tumblr.com. You can message me for any questions I know this is a journey for everyone and I was scared as well I was so nervous but I am happy with my choice, I had my procedure back in november and I am going for a touch up. I was messaging everyone like crazy before I did this procedure. So message me and I can awnser all your question and my pictures are on the blogs as well as 3 months after.

hi please go in to more details please! im going to do awake bbl as well, how was the pain during the surgery? and how was the recovery please respond. thanks and beautiful shape btw!! congrats

can you please post after operation pics? ive been to his office and only met his assistant Carolina.. I only saw pics taken right after surgery, but I would like to see pics for 3 months after surgery. Please help!!!!

These are clearly the doctors pictures... but do you have any recent pics... did the swelling go down? what size/weight were you before the surgery??? Also, how long ao did you perform this procedure. I went to him and I'm not as nearly as pleased as you are. Would you say that he bites more than he can chew? Meaning, he's able to do an awesome job to people of your size, but not to people who "really" need the work done.? BTW, you look great... before and after the procedure!

Looking good. Happy healing.

Can u post more pictures please.. I'm going to him in march
