Elizabeth A. Almeyda, MD (retired)

I saw Dr. Almeyda for Smart Lipo. It was awesome. All my gross stubborn fat got sucked out and about 2 months later I saw a drastic change in my silhouette! Those stubborn pouches of fat on my thighs that I tried so hard to starve or exercise away were finally gone!!!! My cellulite that I had since I was 15 was much less visible! My swelling was being stubborn and one night I had this awesome idea to put Saran Wrap around my thighs to seal in the Arnica Cream While I slept and when I woke up my swelling really went down a lot! She did an excellent job!!!! 

I wanted breast implants because i felt like I was too small on top. Some clothes didnt fit me right and I just didnt feel complete. I looked up the best doctors in NY because I wanted to be in really good hands. This doctor had a five star reputation and all- dont know how because I am NOT happy. I got them about a week ago. everything seemed like it was going great until surgery. My right breast is beautiful. My right breast looks deformed. I got 240cc silicone under the muscle.(wanted to keep a natural look) The left breast implant is high up- its not swelling- its the implant higher up than the other one and also goes into the middle of my chest which interferes with my breathing by the way! SO she mustve inserted it too high, and off center. also, this breast has major bruising, pain and swelling around it.. while the other one is perfectly fine, no bruising. SHe tells me "well, it was even during surgery- it must have moved on its own. Just wear the band- it might just be swelling." I need to know, exactly how can I push it down or center it? can I? =( is this okay?

Anesthesiologist was late and she screamed at him in the next room! NOT encouraging right before surgery. She sent me home without drains and two days later they ruptured and started leaking fluid/bleeding everywhere. Implant pushed through the skin and she actually did NOTHING to help me. Thank god i was experienced with keeping the area clean and sterile. Eventually skin grew back to heal over the open wound but it was months of stress and trauma. I will never forgive her. Today, they both still have very bad scar tissue. I need to have them fixed. I WOULD NOT recommend seeing her. She has no care for her patients. She actually told me to stop crying when I was in her office. She was completely UNSYMPATHETIC. I hope Karma bites her in the butt someday.
