Bbl and arm lipo with Dr Palladino

I had my bbl with Dr Palladino of Mia aesthetics. The experience with the clinic was pleasant and dr P is a genuinely caring person. I’m not fully happy with my results and I developed a serious infection after surgery that also made my recovery hell but I’m finally on the mend and will be deciding between revision with Dr P or round two with someone else. This entire process has been super emotional I cried everyday for the first 6 weeks the pain was miserable and the meds didn’t work. The infection popped up when I finished the first round of antibiotics major major abscesses that has to be drained and lost a ton of fat. My shape looked pretty good the first 8 weeks but now that swelling has subsided I can see unevenness I will post another update with the most recent pics

You have been great! Updated with more info Making sure dolls understand the infection was not Dr Palladino’s fault. I appreciate you for always being available for questions and support. Glad to see you will be at your own practice soon!!

Why did you develop an infection?!
May 14, 2019
I believe my infection was from a combination of scar tissue from silicone injection removal and horrible recovery house experience I do not fault the clinic or the dr

Im scheduled with Dr Palladino for a BBL in Dec. I know it’s months away but with the one death they had this past weekend I’m debating whether to cancel the sx or just do the Lipo 360 with no fat transfer to the butt. Can you go into detail as to what caused the infection and where ?
May 14, 2019
I do not believe he caused my infection and he is opening his own practice so won’t be working at Mia much longer. I trust him he is very personable and I think the clinic was messing with his reputation: I believe my infection was caused by my scar tissue from previous silicone Injections and combination of horrible recovery house. I still dr P is good surgeon and all of them are human so have some unhappydolls

What death? At Mia?

Yes last Friday it’s on the news if you google it

I will admit he was nice but I'm still not happy with my results it looks like a rush job and it probably was because the moroof my surgery it was 4 other women getting surgery done by him as well

I want to talk about the infection as I didn’t go into detail the first time. I believe my infection was NOT DR P FAULT. I had silicone removed and it left me with scar tissue dr p as very thorough and explained I was at high risk for complications. Dr palladino was there when I reached out and has been very reassuring about my revision. He is branching off from Mia aesthetics and I think that’s a good move as the volume of patients they do at that clinic isn’t the best look for such a historically successful Dr. and although im disappointed in some of my lipo areas I am overall happy with the experience and the fact he has agree to fix it

I like my shape in clothing but I absolutely hate my body naked. I couldn’t wear anything that wasn’t high waisted and bought one piece swim suit for the first time since middle school. My lipo is very uneven my arms are two different sizes and my shape is not natural curves but boxy. I have decided not to get the revision by dr P and he hasn’t responded to me anymore anyways. My infection created huge dents and I plan to get a second round in Colombia to fix this but am trying to regain confidence and love my shape for why I do have. If I Could change my experience I would not have chosen a clinic or dr who does more than 4-5 patients a day maximum and definitely don’t think dr P is great at bbls especially on smaller frame women

Were you happy with Dr. Hughes work? If you don’t mind answering I would appreciate it. I’m curious because I need removal and saw you chose another doctor for your reconstruction. Thank you and sorry.

I'm very happy with dr Hughes work I didn't want to go to him for bbl because of the price 12k basic bbl but then again imnot happy with d palladino work so I have to go for two rounds and end up paying some price lol

Did you get the post op drainage massages? I hear those help with the lumpy uneven parts after lipo.
January 18, 2020
Yes I got 15. It was technique. I've consulted with over ten different surgeons and many of them won't touch me. I'm super disappointed in his work and one dr even suggested I need fat put back into my stomach in a few areas to even his work out :(
January 18, 2020
Oh wow, I’m sorry things didn’t turn out well. I can only imagine how this has affected you. Honestly I still think your body looks better than most. I would certainly take it vs the one I have!

Dr Palladino is horrible. He causes deformation to most of his clients and should retire. I do not recommend him. He needs to be in prison for his false advertisement
