Bad BBL Experience Here

Melissa200
I'm not one who likes to leave bad reviews, but maybe I can save someone $20,000 before they ruin their body like I did. June 2020 was my surgery for my BBL. My first red flag was in the consultation when I asked Dr. Bray to show me pictures of peoples stomachs after having a BBL. He only had 1 picture to show me and it wasn't even a straight on photo, it was angled. I decided to book anyways because he seemed like a nice Doctor. Had the surgery. After surgery, the nurses would not let me use my phone to call home and tell my family I was ok, and this surgery requires you to stay overnight. Absolutely ridiculous. I had to start crying for the nurse to give me my phone to use for 5 minutes, then she took it away again like I am a child. After the surgery I noticed my stomach wasn't looking so good. Doctor said it needs a good year to heal. Went for a follow up appointment in January 2021. Dr.Bray admitted my stomach isn't looking good and he can refer me to Spamedica to get a laser treatment to try and fix it for free or at a discounted cost. Never got the referral. I followed up with Dr.Bray, they finally refer me to the spa and I receive a quote for about $5,000. I ask about the discount I was promised, and apparently they are not longer associated with Spamedica so I can't get discounts there. Dr.Bray's staff says Dr.Bray can do it himself with his machine, but with COVID, its going to take sometime to book me in. This was several months ago. Last week I emailed them to see when I can get booked in because my wedding and honeymoon are coming up and I want this stomach issue to be fixed, and I didn't even hear back. So at this point I'm going to pay the $5,000 out of pocket to have this fixed (if it will even fix it). So the total cost of this surgery is ending up costing $25,000 which is just crazy. For reference, I am 29 and never had any kids. Below is a before and after of my stomach. My butt area also isn't good at all, my bum looks squared off with huge indents on both cheeks. You can see what I mean in the photo. He also had told me during the consultation that I would be removing my bra fat area, but on the day of surgery when I noticed he wasn't marking up that area and questioned him about it, he said it shouldn't be removed because of the way of my body is shaped. Now I have a layer of fat right under my bra line that looks so unnatural with the rest of my body. Overall, super disappointed and would highly not recommend going here. Mentally, this surgery ruined any bit of confidence I had, and nothing can bring that back.

Get a personal injury lawyer immediately. You have two years in most states

He should have known that you didn’t have enough fat in your stomach.

right? she looks like she had very low body fat percentage. most bbl surgeons require patients to gain weight before doing that procedure

I am so sorry this happen to you!! I had a similar experience with a different doctor, but I ended up in the hospital almost dying. I've had 2 revisions since, and I'm looking into some more lipo to try and revise some things. My butt looks much better, but still has the square shape like yours has due to irreparable damage. I am just happy to hear you made it out safely!! Anyways, I am so sorry about all of this, and hope you are able to get it fixed. All my best.

I'm so sorry this happened to you. I hope you find a solution to bring you back to where you used to be. I would encourage you to make a tik tok video to out him and make others beware!

Hi Melissa. I am sorry about your outcome. I too chose Dr Bray because of the amazing reviews but my liposuction outcome was also not good. He left me uneven from front on one side of my waist and uneven back flank from the opposite side. I made the mistake of having him do a revision which made it even worse.

It was obvious from your picture that you didn’t have enough fat and he should have known this.

I'm sorry to hear to had bad results as well. Negative outcomes of surgery seem to be far less spoken about.
