Not Worth It
Spent: $6,500 in Chevy Chase, MD USA
I went to visit Dr. {edited} a little over a year ago. After many years keeping myself in shape I suffered from an injury and wasn't able to work out for several months. After I recovered because I was only able to sit around I put on a few pounds. Wanting to regain the confidence I once had and after careful consideration I went for a consultation with Dr. Rassael. I can't say that I was completely impressed with him however, his staff was wonderful. They made me feel so comfortable, it was then I made the worst decision ever.
Looking back now I guess I wanted to feel better about myself again so badly I failed to look any further into his background and reviews. I followed through with the liposuction procedure after paying a good $6500.00 after his fees, surgery center fees and the anesthesiologist. To me it was a lot of money considering I'm a single mom who refinanced her home to come up with the money to pay for the surgery, but
I thought it would be worth it to boost my confidence and in the end payoff. WRONG! A year later I look worse than I did then. I've been working out with a trainer for months but no amount of exercise will ever fix the bumps and pot holes in my skin on my stomach, legs and butt. I'm actually lop-sided. A few months after the surgery I had a real surgeon remove a umbilical hernia I developed due to trama from the liposuction as well as a huge lump from my stomach.
I learned my lesson and I'm paying for it now. I would recommend you explore more qualified doctors if you are considering having a plastic surgery procedure. His staff is wonderful and very kind however, he horrible.
