I didn't tell my husband I was going to have this surgery done, he cannot tell that I have changed at all. I asked him if he can tell I lost any weight and he said no. He and I have always had a very honest relationship so I wasn't hurt by that but glad he was honest. It has been almost 3 months now...Pretty flabby and every time I look in the mirror I just think of the money I spent. If you are considering Dr. Ross consider a different doctor is my personal opinion. He is all talk, says he will make you look fabulous and that all this and that fat will be gone, he said all of my tummy fat would be flat and no more hang over, he said my underwear wouldn't dig in my hips anymore and that my inner thighs wouldn't be puffy they would be thinned out....NOT ONE of those statements are even close to accurate. He said perhaps I need to have a touch-up...A TOUCHUP! No way is he getting another cent of mine! He is a dermatologist, why he is doing this besides to fatten his pocketbook I have no idea....do your research! Wish I had listened to my gut...guts usually know best. He took my money that's for sure and left me in the same shape I was in before hand.

He had a Groupon out so that's how I found him. I had thought about the procedure but never seriously. I went in and read a bit about it in the office. He gave me some information and talked to me about the procedure. He was in and out quite a bit of my room doing other things so I didn't feel like I got all of my questions answered but I feel comfortable calling and asking questions. He was very non-emotional which I personally liked, I felt like for me I was so uncomfortable with my body and for him he was like...lets get down to business and see what we can get rid of for you and you will love it. He was realistic and honest with me about what to expect afterward....he said I would loose my muffin top and that my inner thighs would shrink significantly.

Hi Teacher2013, Doctor's who are doing Groupon don't give you $2000 worth of Lipo for $500 thats just to get you in the door so when he's doing the lipo he's only going to do $500 worth. Don't go back to this Doctor because I can't really see much different. Good luck mama.

We still ended up paying nearly $4000 for the surgery with the Groupon. It really is upsetting. I also saw Dr. Ross and hv no results.

No reputable doctor is going to use a groupon unless he is desperate for patients and money! I'm so sorry that you aren't happy. Plastic surgeons can't get sued, so its like rolling dice for all of us when we go to one. I'm glad you are going to follow up with someone else.

With no results don't you think you should rate him lower? People are going to mistake it for good work. I too was tricked and ripped off by him.

He also followed up with I may need a follow up procedure! I am not alone in this boat from this doc right now if you read other reviews.

It's very unfortunate that you're not seeing any difference in 27 days. Will you do a revision? hope he can do it for free. Best Of luck.

Hi Bella, I don't think Teacher2013 doctor will do another lipo for FREE. Normally when you buy a Groupon voucher you only get half of the work done. They don't tell you that because they know you won't come back.

Here are my 2-1/2 week pics. I don't even have the slightest change in my hips or inner thighs! My stomach a very slight difference but not $3600 worth. My groupon was $599 and I paid another 3k cash!

2 1/2 weeks after surgery, still have my muffin top and I still have big fat inner thighs. my stomach went down very VERY slightly. Scheduled a post-op to see Dr. Ross this Thursday to talk to him about this, again he only took 900cc out....I have PLENTY that could have been taken not sure why more wasn't even thin people who just want some touch ups get more than 900 out of them.

I really hate to see anyone going through what you are going through bc it shows sad poor jobs in the doctors work let alone taking from from hard working patients which some are single mothers. I hope you share with him what I told you what my doctor shared with me about one of his patients and how he had to re do someone else's mistakes. This is so sad. Someone should re check his past history and maybe pull his license bc it seems he is only here for a paycheck and not for his patients. I hope all goes well at your visit and hopefully you won't have to fork out another fortune to get what you should have gotten in the first place.
