I Got Peached by Changalang

TFilmore
I am a 46 year old grandmother of 4. Dr. Chang is “The Gem” of Miami (Hands Down). He is so soft spoken, patient, answers all questions, and straight forward with what he can and can’t do. I am 12 days Post Op and so far im happy with what’s happening to my body. Honestly im very anxious to see the final results on my belly because it still looks the same size so I have to continue to wear my garment and drink plenty of water and trust the process. Dr. Chang is so wonderful I honestly think he is way to good to be affiliated with the poorly ran clinic that he works at. I got me a “Peach” from Changalang

The updated pics are 5 weeks and 6 weeks post. So far my Butt is shaping nicely but my belly is still swollen and I have a lot of loose hanging skin. I am really considering getting a mini tummy tuck.

Thanks for sharing your experience. How much do you have a hanging skin? Do you have any pics. I spoke today with the coordinator, she said it's a possibility I might have some loose skin.

Hello I’m scheduled to have surgery with dr chang I’m just really was inspired by your story I’m 45

can you tell me a little more about your experience how was you pain after the surgery and your healing time ?

Hi sorry about the late response. I hate to be a Debbie Downer and I don’t want to discourage you with my story but my overall experience was not good at all. At first I was very happy with my results but now im 7 months post op and none of the fat survived in my butt, my belly is still fat, my arms and thighs are still fat with hanging skin. My lipo wasn’t aggressive enough. I met the doctor for the first time 20 mins before surgery. He was very pleasant. While he was marking me up he informed me that I needed a tummy tuck instead of lipo 360. By then it was too late to change my mind so now I have all of this hanging skin on my belly that im so embarrassed about. Booty still has flat spots so I applied for a booty revision and a tummy tuck. The price is about $2,500 more than I originally paid. I didn’t receive not one of the 5 massages that I was promised because of being understaffed. I was told to tell my husband to youtube how to give massages. I ended up finding a massage place down the street to do my massages for $90 per massage. The worse part was waking up directly out of surgery (no recovery room) wheeled out to the car, laid me on my belly, folded my legs up and slammed the door and sent me on my way. I was barely awake. My husband and my sister had to guide me to my hotel room because I wasn’t awake fully. The first night felt like I had been run over by a truck multiple times. I was bleeding all over the hotel bed because the bleeding was very heavy from my belly. I would say the first 3 days was really painful because I could barely use my arms because of the lipo on the arms. By the 5th days I was able to tolerate the pain. I was told not to sit on my butt for 6 weeks and I had to constantly wear the faja for 6 weeks, that was very challenging as well. The 6 week mark is when my butt started to disappear. The 3 month mark it came back. (This is commonly called fluffing). The 3 to 6 month mark is when I experienced the most pain and all of the pain was in my butt. I was told its because the results were finalizing and the tenderness was normal. I hope this info helps. I hope your experience will be better than mine. Dr. Chang is a excellent doctor and it’s not his fault that the clinic is so poorly ran and it’s not his fault that the fat didn’t survive in my butt. It’s just a chance you take. It’s a hit or miss and mine was a miss. Im from Cleveland Ohio and im really trying to find a doctor close to home to do my tummy tuck and fix the flat spots on my butt so that I dont have to take that miserable flight back home. I flew back home on my knees

Bad Experience with Dr. Chang and His Team

TFilmore

I must take back my initial review I made about Dr. Chang. I must say honestly he is a very nice person. I initially gave him a good review saying I was happy with my results. Here I am 10 months later with no changes to my lipo areas. I paid to have a BBL done, lipo 360, arm lipo, and thigh lipo. I have reached out to Dr. Chang and his team well over 6 or 7 times to let him know that the $7300 I paid to the clinic was a total waste of money. My belly, arms, thighs, and butt had no changes. I applied for a revision several times and was turned down everytime. I asked him how much would it be for a TT and to fix my Butt that never looked right after the swelling went down. They told me it would be an additional $8500 for a Tummy Tuck and to fix what should have been done the first time I paid him. Spectrum Aesthetics is a very unprofessional company and in my opinion so is Dr. Chang for not honoring the revision policy. I worked hard to save my money just to give it away for free. These people are NOT the same after they get your money. Additionally I was promised 5 massages with my price and was not able to even get one due to a shortage in massage staff. I was told by my nurse to google how to do massages and have my husband do them at the hotel. I didn’t pay my husband, I paid Spectrum for maasages ma’am. My experience with Spectrum Aesthetics was horrible from the beginning to end. I also hate the fact that I didn’t meet my doctor until 20 mins before my surgery, At that time he told me I needed a Tummy Tuck. By then it was too late to change my mind and get a Tummy Tuck instead of lipo 360. I feel it is very important to meet the doctor before surgery to discuss the patient needs. I now have to pay a doctor in my hometown to fix the mistakes that Dr. Chang refuse to fix unless I pay $8500
