Botched Hip Implants removed
I finally had the botched hip implants Dr. Shahine Javaheri did removed a couple weeks ago by Dr. Harake for $5,000. Dr. Harake did a great job and he is a surgical incision master. The scar is almost non existent and it’s only been 2 weeks. This is what I was left with. I gained a lot of weight since getting the implants so the indent on my left side isn’t as bad as it was pre implants. I am going to let my body heal and go get a fat transfer in 8-12 months. I DO NOT recommend hip implants. They don’t look or feel natural. The hips are not a good place for implants in my opinion.
I also will not recommend Dr. Javaheri.
Before finding Dr. Harake to relive this mess, I went to a consultation with Dr. Shifrin who quoted me $12,000 for the removal only, which is insane and completely trying to get over in my opinion. I’m so happy I found Harake soon after and he was able to help me.

Hip implants removal
I am having this botched madness finally removed next week by a surgeon in Michigan who is removing them under local anesthesia. He says there will be some sagging. I’m going to return at a later date to fill the sagging in with fat.
Botched Hip Implants
I went to Dr. Shahin Javaheri July, 2020 for hip implants and liposuction to my love handles. I initially flew to SF for my initial in-person consultation in 2019. Dr. Shahin assessed me and was confident he could get me the results I wanted. I had hip dips and wanted them gone. He told me with "100% certainty" he could fix my problem. Because he was so confident it made me feel confident that he was the right doctor for the job. He gave me his cell number and we exchanged a few texts regarding the upcoming surgery. In the text messages he's expressing his confidence in getting me great results. This made me feel good and happy that I would finally have the body of my dreams.
Fast forward to July, 2020, I flew to SF for the procedure. His nurse and anesthesiologist were great. The surgery center was very clean, everyone was very professional and nice, including Dr. Javaheri. HOWEVER the outcome was a disaster. I spent $20,000 for hip implants + Lipo to my love handles. This price was just the quote and does not include the week long hotel stay, car rental and airfare traveling from the Midwest.
When I got back to my hotel room after surgery I looked in the mirror and immediately was not happy with my results but told myself maybe it will take time for the implants to fall into place. My left implant was on my upper thigh and my right hip implant was sitting on my waist, literally. Although it looked a mess I told myself maybe it takes time to get in position. As time went on nothing changed. 2 years later my left implant folds over at my upper thigh area and sticks out-- I can put my fingers under the implant. It looks a mess. My right implant sits on my waist, literally looking like a tumor on my waist. It's so embarrassing and repressing to look at. I take a shower and put on my clothes refraining from looking in the mirror. I hate my body even more than I did before the procedure. I cry often and am so depressed about this. It's affected my life in every aspect, my confidence is in the dirt. I am so self conscious x1000. I don't have sex. I don't go to the beach. I don't wear dresses. I don't wear tight clothes. I only wear long shirts to cover my deformity. There's so much that I refrain from doing from complete humiliation and disgust with my body.
I spent my life savings (literally) on this procedure and came out disappointed. I reached out to the doctor about a year ago and was told "I would have to wait a few months to allow new scar tissue to form and redo the producer placing the new implant under the new scar tissue". I really wish he would have told me this could have been an outcome beforehand, instead he made me believe that he could give me the results I was looking for. I now have to save more money, as a single mother, to fix this mess. I am completely disappointed and pissed. I am looking into talking to an attorney as well. Please do your research.
