I have been pondering the thought of having plastic surgery for over 10 years, and finally I took the leap and decided that it was needed to boost my confidence. I have been struggling with my self esteem for a few years now and I am certain that this procedure will boost my confidence once again to a healthy level. Unfortunately I did not review or consult with any other doctor, but Dr. Golshani. I was pleased with the reviews and the results of his procedures I saw in pictures. I agreed to the quote I was given which includes lipo of the flanks and a full TT. I emailed his assistant Crystal a picture of my back recently asking for a quote on lipo of the sides where my bra sits. We spoke about it and she told my that Dr. Golshani said he would not be able to do it because of the lack of blood supply and oxygen that my stomach needed to recover. Crystal said that he can perform the procedure at another time!!? I cannot afford to be off work for 2 more weeks plus the expenses that the 2nd procedure will incur. I completely understand that he is trying to look out for his patients but I've seen other where women who have this procure and many other procedures concurrently without a problem, yet with him it is an issue. I have already given 1K deposit and was very excited about this but now I am very discouraged.

Can anyone tell me of other doctors in the LA area that have performed both procedures (lipo of the back and TT) at the same time successfully?

Have you thought about going abroad? A lot of satisfied ladies have gone to the Dominican Republic where they do excellent work and really know how to sculpt a woman's body and make it stunning. Take a look at Dr. Duran. I'll be going to her in November. I've known several ladies all who were very happy with their results that have gone to her. Back lipo is common there with other surgeries. Just take a look here on realself. Top DR dr's Duran, Yily or Robles.

Good luck to you on whoever you choose!

Yeah I've seen great comments on Dr. Duran, and I've seen they post op pictures and the results are amazing!! I'm blown away with the way in which their figures are sculpted literally. I hope your procedure gives you the results that you were looking for and more. Thank you for the great suggestion!!

Emailed Dr. Goldman's office

After much thought I emailed Crystal (patient coordinator) letting her know I was dissatisfied about not being able to get Lipo of the back. I did not receive a response back, but it is to be expected. The last time I sent her a message it took her a week to respond and that was after I followed up with her. In my email I also inquired about the 1k deposit. I have contacted Dr. Hughes (another surgeon in Beverly hills) and he personally told me that Lipo can be performed of the back in conjunction with a tummy tuck, as long as the Lipo is not performed directly on the abdomen. I am very frustrated with the whole situation, I don't know what to do!!??

I'm torn!!

Modotti
I have already scheduled two consultations this week, with Dr Kenneth Hughes and Dr Hazani. Although I am torn, a side of me tells me to shop around, and on the other hand Dr Golshani just gives me that sense of familiarity and comfort. I hope that at the end of the day I make the best decision possible. Oh and Crystal, the patient coordinator reached out early this morning and said she would address my concern to Dr Golshani and would get back to me.
