Cool Lipo on Face, Neck and Jowls - YIKES

I am Christine Stapley...not this person....I had Cool Lipo done by Dr. Virginia Stevens from Woodinville.....I dont know if she is back in practice as she had her license revoked for a period of time.....she was an alcholic and drug abuser practicing medicine....do Not go to Dr. Virginia Stevens....

No I wouldnt...however, I dont need it on my body...I am in good shape. Maybe if I needed it? I would really do research on the doctor...I didnt do that with Dr. Stevens because I was new with the computer and didnt know you could google and get reviews. Had I done the reviews, I would not have chosen to do the procedure on my face. If I chose to do anything on my face, I would only go to a qualified, board certified plastic surgeon...And, if I chose it on the body, I think I would make darned sure it was a qualified MD......Thanks......

I still feel the same about the doctor and cool lipo for the neck/face area. It might work for the tummy/hips but I would never suggest it for the neck area. I feel it really played on my emotions and still does. I feel it made it look older. If I had the money, I would consider a face lift....but only by a qualified professional MD. Never an internist!!!! It is one of my "top on my list" of regrets in life. Dr. Stevens had her license "suspended" until she did rehab and jumped over some hoops (I followed this on the Dept. of Health website)...so, she now had her license reinstated and probably has her "sign" out in some other town?? Dont know. But, you know she will probably be out there again. So, huge lesson learned by me. Oh well. Just sorry it was on my face and not on my hips.....Thanks for checking in.

Thanks for the advice/suggestion. Yes, this procedure has sure affected my emotional life. I have been quite depressed since having this procedure. I have kept track of her and her license is still suspended...altho, she is trying to get people signed up on her Hypatia website...lying and saying that when she is finished with her "move", she will be offering deep discounts for procedures. I am sure she will get her license reinstated and put her sign out and practice again. I think she had to go thru a drug/alcohol program...that is what the charges look like (among many). So, i dont know what i am going to do about this. But, i know i have been quite depressed over my neck...it is still very saggy...they sucked the fat out and left the skin hanging. I am just very sad over this entire mess. Thank you. (Know any good attorneys????)

No No No....NOT Dr. Virginia Stevens!!!!!! Please go to www.doh.wa.gov and type in Provider Credential Search and then type in Dr. Stevens name! You will see MANY allegations...along with drug/alcohol abuse, and many more!!!!! She has been forced to close her practices. I hear she declared bankruptcy. She made an enormous mess of my face and neck. Please do NOT go to Dr. Virginia Stevens! Do your homework!!!!!!!
