My butt implants are painful and extremely obvious from any angle. They poke out when I sit in chairs, bend over, lay down, you name it. I'm getting them removed in a few days with another doctor. I'm terrified because I wanted the surgery with shifrin to be the last I'd have. My body doesn't look different and I'm in pain, what a waste

Seriously?! I went to see Dr. Salama to get my implants removed with a bbl. I'm still recovering, but I'm in my fluffing period and so far my butt is 3x bigger than before and my shape is gorgeous.

Good for you ! So glad you found a good doctor
I wish I could gain weight for a bbl

But yah still being ignored , he’s blaming my body and telling me he can’t fix it but is he not board certified , it’s his scam I’ve seen so many with the same story
Mines horrible,Hoping to find someone I can trust to re do it soon

I weight 163lbs which is lighter than my post op weight in 2021. The fat injected on my hips and butt fell down for the most part and my bra fat is uneven (noticeable when I gain weight). The butt implants are not firm in anyway and sometimes it's uncomfortable to sit on my butt. The implants are noticeable in some angles and when I bend over. Since there is more fat towards the bottom of my butt, the implant isn't as noticeable to touch but at the top it's very noticeable. When I lean against walls or make contact with hard surfaces, my butt feels sensitive and uncomfortable. The woman who gave me the quote stopped replying to my emails and taking my calls, at some point she kept saying she forgot, so I was unable to get a quote for a second procedure until I came back to the office months later. I went to the office because of nerve pain which later resolved itself. I asked for a quote and the woman wouldn't meet with me. Instead, one of the girls from the front desk had to relay what I said to her and request a quote for me. I don't believe I ever disrespected that woman simply because there was no reason to talk about anything besides a quote. If I did disrespect her, it was unintentional, she clearly didn't give me the chance to apologize. I want to proceed with a 2nd BBL but the office hasn't replied to my email yet.

Are you talking about the Chicago location? Some of MIAs locations have recent deaths and infections.

I had surgery with Dr. Shiffrin’s September 21, 2021 I got buttocks implants and fat transfer this was a very painful uncomfortable surgery after taking about six months to heal one of my buttocks was a lot larger than the other I live in California and had to fly back to Chicago two times higher a nurse two times pay for hotel stay two times and rent a car two times 4 Dr. Shiffrin’s non-perfect surgery . I had to go back to get a revision on my buttocks and it looks horrible in my opinion Dr. Shiffrin’s is not a great Sergent for buttocks implants I would not recommend going to him to have buttocks surgery he does not do well it is unclear to me how he states that he Has won awards for his surgical performances I don’t trust that and I don’t believe that because of my personal experience also in my personal experience Dr. Shiffrin’s does not have a good bedside manners when I expressed to him how I felt about the unevenness in my buttocks and I showed him he was offended and walked out of the room left his nurse there and never returned. The first time I got the buttocks implants one side of my butt was big and round just the way I wanted it the other side was flat as if there was no implant in it this was so humiliating embarrassing and a major disfigurement to my body Dr. Shiffrin’s did not want to own the fact that he disfigured my body and did a horrible job after I paid him more than $11,000 People say you get what you pay for but I don’t know that I agree with that any longer I could’ve went anywhere and got buttocks implants for probably four to $5000 I chose Dr. Shiffrin’s based on his reviews and photos that I saw of ladies whom he stated he had done buttocks implants on them today I do not believe that the pictures that are posted on his website or on Realself are actually patients that Dr. Shiffrin’s worked on I believe he got those photos from somewhere else in my opinion this is one of the worst sergeants he has a very beautiful office the employment has a high overturn in his office for whatever reason he cannot keep the same people working with him the professionalism is not that great he has a nurse by the name of Donna who is rude as hell I would truly not recommend Dr. Shiffrin’s to do surgery I am considering turning him in to the medical board for disfiguring my body even after the revision of the buttocks implants my buttocks still looks so terrible that I will have to seek surgery elsewhere so basically I just lost or gave $11,000 to Dr. Shiffrin to make my body look worse or than it did before I originally came to his office in my opinion Dr. Shiffrin’s is not a good sergeant and I would not recommend him if you want good surgery please do your research I researched Dr. Shiffrin’s for two years and I still was misled I have several pictures that I am too embarrassed to post to show the disfigurement that Dr. Shiffrin done to my buttocks and he did not care he knows he’s got the photos I noticed the disfigurement about a month after the first surgery and he told me that he would do the revision and get my buttocks right the second time he did the surgery it just got worse so again at this point iamb going to have to go to another surgeon which I have chosen Dr. curves in Atlanta Georgia I only wish I had went to Dr. curves in the beginning you probably would not be reading this posting now Dr. Shiffrin’s is not a good sergeant ladies please don’t be fooled by the false advertisement by him calling himself an award winning surgeon that is not true if you allow this man to do surgery on you you will regret it like I did so and $11,000 surgery turned into 20+ thousand dollars because I had to go twice pay for a nurses care pay for a room paid to travel from California to Chicago two times and get a car rental this was a very costly lesson for myself and I want to share so that no one else has to go through what I went through Dr. Shiffrin is not a good surgeon ladies please find someone else I hope that I can help someone with this post please don’t use this doctor you will lose your money and he does not care about the outcome of his surgery he just wants to get paid he never really even had anyone check on me after surgery . often times I would send emails to Dr. Shiffrin’s‘s office and most times they didn’t respond Donna Chase which is the head nurse at Dr. Shiffrin‘s surgical clinic is very insensitive no professionalism rude does not acknowledge you nor will she speak when she’s in the room with Dr. Shiffrin’s why he is checking you for the disfigurement and horrible mistakes that he’s going to make on your body and it’s going to come at a high price so ladies please do your research I thought I had done my research and I was fooled and lost more than $20,000. Please check over and over and over again to make sure that you get a qualified sergeant so that you can have the results that you want the first time I’ve went twice and still have to go to another surgeon to get my body corrected this is so embarrassing and so hurtful but I have to wear Flowy clothing to hide how horrible my buttocks look one side of my buttocks is higher than the other one side has a huge flat spot in it it was a waste of money time and it was very very painful I lost all the way around ladies please be careful who you allowed to work on your body please do not use Dr. Shiffrin’s he is not a good doctor for buttocks implants or liposuction
