I had a non-surgical nose job with this doctor years ago and although my nose went back to its normal shape after 2 years! My mental scars of the procedure still linger. I didn't want to make a review since it has been so long, but I believe if one person can avoid this incompetent dermatologist it's worth it. I remember her passing me the mirror during this painful procedure and asking me the patient "hmm where else do you think we should inject it?" That made me more insecure in her work than I already was. The photos on the website were misleading, only showing profile pictures of patients after photos. My nose was swollen and painful for two weeks! She told me I'm on the far side of the spectrum for healing. The swelling and bruising I could handle but the horror I saw when it was fully healed was a disaster! My nose was three times the size of my natural nose! I emailed her, but had little reassurance from her explanations. I asked her to remove the radiesse from my nose not knowing that there is no solvent agent for Radiesse. It usually last for over a year and you are stuck with it until it is gone! Information I was not informed about or else I would have picked a less permanent filler. When I wanted it removed she attempted to inject me with a solution that said it could possibly eat through my nose as a side effect. I calmly walked out of that office and never looked back! I just let the radiesse dissolve over time naturally. If this woman is unable to do a simple procedure as the non-surgical nose job she should not be able to perform other surgeries such as liposuction. I can only imagine the damage she may cause. Please take this as a cautionary tale.

Seems she always does mistake and ignore her promise. I had this with her in 2016, horrible, don't go to her period.

I had lipo on my stomach and flanks from Dr. Reichel. She did a horrible job and now my stomach is covered with big bumps and saggy skin on my lower abdomen. My flanks have rolls of skin on them and she did some weird thing above my hip bones and now I am completely out of proportion. She and her nurse gave me a hard sell for the procedure that would make a used car salesman envious. I really really wish that I had held my ground during the hard sell and gone on to explore other options (like a good plastic surgeon). She makes herself sound like the best surgeon in the world with more bragging than I have heard in a long time. She cut my surgery short because she ran out of time because her incompetent nurse took 45 minutes to put an IV on me. Of course she could have finished my lipo and been late for the sales meeting she had scheduled of course she didn't. No matter what she or her nurse tell you, don't believe them! I might of well have had lipo from a 10 year old based on my results. She promises when selling the surgery that she will happily fix any problems or things that I don't like. When I went in for my fixes she said that she wouldn't fix my lumps and bumps and saggy skin because the lipo was perfect! I have been living with this for 8 years now and I will forever be embarassed about how my stomach and flanks look. I can't afford a revision or I would have gotten one years ago. How she keeps her medical license is beyond me. She does surgical procedures that are way beyond the skill of a dermatologist. To hear her talk you would think that she is a famous plastic surgeon. I sure got taken in by her line of bull.
