LIPO 360 & BBL - Allure Clinic, Brooklyn, NY

Hey so I didn't really wana write a review bc I'm such a private person ... butttt I notice there's not much reviews on this place or the doctor that performed my procedure. So I just wana help others out. So to start off I'm 22 year old mom w. a 6 month old. I had lipo 360 and a Brazilian butt lift from at lire clinic on 8/27/2017. My doctor was Anthony(Tony) Perkins. I'm about 5'2 & 138 pounds day before surgery. Before being pregnant I was a 123 ????. Anyway my journey with allure was a little bit annoying in the beginning. I did end up winning a giveaway which gave me $3,000 down towards my surgery and their deluxe recovery kit . Even though I won the giveaway I feel like they were still looking for ways to get money out of me . I was told I was being charged an extra $1,000 just bc I wanted my surgery to be sooner. On top of that when I went for my consultation I feel like the assistant was bullying me into getting more work done that I knew for fact I did not need. I wasn't a fan of her at all. And then the surgical coordinator Maddie was callings everyday for payment telling me my contract stated I needed to be fully paid 15 days before when really the contract I signed said 10 days before then she tells me well that contract is wrong . But whatever . I ended up losing my credit card and she actually did help me with me extending my payment . So I was happy about that. I feel like over the phone they come off a little pushy but in person they are nicer people except for that one assistant who was telling me I needed to get my upper back done when Dr. V marked me during the consultation and he didn't mention anything about my upper back .

Okay so my surgery was scheduled for 6am . I arrived at allure clinic with my best friend around 5:50 am. Immediately the medical assistant I bribe her name as Chachi said that my friend had to leave .. bc fever here was closed and she couldn't stay. We explained to her that we came together in a cab etc and then she said okay my friend can stay bc her next patient is scheduled for 8am and how we should be done at that time. She then gave me some pills that she crushed up for me bc I don't swallow pills ????. About five minutes later Dr. Perkins walks thru and introduced himself very nice man. Next thing I know she said it's time. Everything was happening so quickly . Dr. Perkins marked me up I stated to him that I wanted to look as natural as possible not like the fake Instagram hoes. He laughed and said no problem . He reassured me that there was no possible way that I would come out looking crazy bc I didn't have much fat to begin with. Most of my fat was just on my love handles and lower abdomen bc of baby weight . Now it was time for him to numb me . Oh gosh I hated that . It was a very uncomfortable feeling . I was a liquid inside of an IV bag that he inserts into u with the machine thru the same holes where he's going to suction the fat. That took about 10-15 minutes but felt like forever bc of how uncomfortable it was .. about ten minutes late I started to feel drowsy I guess that's bc of the pills I had when I first walked in. I feel as if I waited a little bit longer before going in the numbing process wouldn't have been as irritable bc I would have been too drowsy . Next it was time to suction the fat . I felt the pressure but it didn't necessarily hurt. Just felt the pressure. When it was time to do my sides/ love handles that actually tickled I couldn't stop laughing. Dr. Perkins and Chachi were talking to me the whole time and Chachi was good at calming me down bc I remember freaking out a little bit during certain parts. Dr. Perkins kept telling me how I was doing well and how I'm very mature for my age. I remember telling them the story on me giving birth but I don't remember finishing it lol think I fell asleep. Now when it was time to put the fat in my butt I felt it ????. I felt ALL of that. And yes it did hurt quite a bit but it was very very very quick. Surgery was done and then my best friend came in the room. Perkins got her to show her my work and she was like oh my gosh u look so good . I was then bandaged up and given pre op instructions. The ride home I fell asleep in the Uber. Got home and was still sleeping. Those initial pills still had me drowsy I basically slept majority of that day . The next morning I was up at 8 feeling better to go to my post op appointment back at allure where I had my first lymphatic massage. That massage was so painful .. really really really painful. I was screaming that massage hurt more than actual contractions. I was draining a lot but man it hurt . I was ready eyed the whole time. I was then fitted for my faja bc te faja I had the massage girl Alexa claims it wasn't good. I feel like it was just another way to get more money out of me . So I ended up spending $220 on faja and lipo boards. Whatever. I left there feeling more pain than I've ever felt. Got home took some Tylenol and back to sleep it was for me. The next day which would now be two days post op I woke up took Tylenol and my antibiotics and was feeling a lot better. I was sitting down a lot on my bbl pillow. Able to lift my daughter up and care for her alone etc. I was feeling more soreness than pain. I really get pain in my back tho if strong for too long. My stomach hurts when it's and I'm laying on it. I'll try to post some pics later on. I don't have a mirror too really take pics so when I get a change I will post
