- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I'd Rather Get Operated on with a Fork and Spoon Than Return Here
Transwoman
My experience at miami life for bbl&lipo360was unforgivable and i want the world to know so a person can make a better decision than i did. I was so desperate to be beautiful i didn't know i was walking into a trap. A trap where I would be tortured,misgendered and bamboozled out of my hard earned money.treated like a complete animal by a team of people with no ethics or human decency. Let me start from the beginning... On day 1 i spoke to a surgical coordinator named gypsy. i told her i was interested in lipo360&bbl and she convinced me to make an immediate deposit with the promise that i would be first early morning on my day for surgery. i made a deposit and even convinced my sister to come along. We asked gypsy if there would be any extra fees or anything else we would have to pay. She said no just the rest of the surgical fee. Perfect! Or so we thought. One month before our flight to miami we were told that our Canadian bloodwork would not be good enough as its "against the law" for them to accept bloodwork so we would need to pay 300 dollars to redo our bloodwork and xray here in miami. Which made absolutely no sense because I've traveled to various American states all the time and they have always accepted my bloodwork for surgery including miami so it made absolutely no sense. I feel without a doubt it was an attempt to get more money out of us. None the less we agreed to pay the extra fee as at this point flight and hotel were already booked. Once we get to miami we had to rush up and down the city to quickly do our labs so we could be cleared for surgery. I wouldn't of had as much of an issue with that except they sent us to various places and didn't provide the proper documentation for us to do the labs resulting in us waiting for hours for them to send the proper paperwork for us to get medical clearance. They made so many mistakes from misspelling our names to accidentally giving someone a photo copy of my identification in their folder it was extremely unprofessional and everytime we called them about any issue we had woman named cynthia who would just laugh on the phone like it was amusing. On the day of pre-op i hand them my identification and the staff writed up and gives me my contract in which they took it upon themself to write male on my paperwork despite all my identification saying female. I got upset and immediately confront them you can't assume my gender just by looking at me its extremely dangerous in a medical situation especially when my identification says otherwise.they tell me 'oh well you can talk about that with the surgeon than". So i get to meet nassif he seems great at first very friendly but once he informs me he will have to make an incision on my tattoo all hell breaks loose. I simply ask nassif that since i keloid is it possible he move the incision slightly away from my tattooo but if not can he not lipo my back at all because i get keloids and a keloid on my tattoo would ruin it. He starts to get defensive and says "well if you keloid than don't get a bbl than". I was stunnned. I thought to myself Does he honestly think i travelled all this way to see him and i need him to tell me that because i keloid i shouldn't get a bbl? So i stated 'I don't mind getting a keloid i just don't want a keloid on my tattoo'.Nassif kept dismissing me telling me i should'nt get a bbl if i keloid over and over until he finally realized how cruel he was being and said fine i just won't lipo your back. I was so angry but i came all this way so i figured i wasn't gonna back out now. After i left the appointment i got a text saying my surgery was at 1pm. 1?!? I was promised it would be in the morning by my surgical coordinator. That was the only reason i made the deposit. They did not care one bit. Take it or leave it! On day of surgery i got to meet nassif again. He was with some rude assistant who was angry i was using my phone to text while waiting saying "no one is calling you put ur phone away" i wanted to cuss her out but held back because i didn't know her relationship with nassif and thought he may botch me on her behalf if i get rude back. We went over what we discussed during pre-op. The strange thing he did was write,"do not lipo here' on my back which signified to me he was not doing my lipo otherwise why write that when ur about to operate on me in less than ten minutes? After he operated on me i awoke in excruciating pain. I'm talking 12 out of 10! I screamed in agony and was shaking horribly. They did not give me any stabilizing pain reducing iv drip like fentanyl or morphine that most annesthesiologist do so you don't feel unbearable pain when you wake up. I begged him for pain meds but he completely denied me and i was told to shut up and stop screaming by one of the staff. i believe i lost consciousness because next thing i remember I'm being carried than dashed out the door like I was a piece of garbage. One of staff exclaims "bye sir ma'am" than closes the door.I go into my rides car crying from the humiliation. I promise you! I will never return to miami life surgery center again. I was treated less than dirt ! Every night I have nightmares about the surgery i endured and the pain i felt. My therapist thinks I'm suffering from ptsd due to the trauma i endured. Ladies please go to a surgeon that has a history of a team that cares about its trans patients. My lipo is absolutely awful and uneven
