Not Impressed w/ Dr. Yovino

  • 10 Jan 2015
Its been a little over a year since I had Lipo with Dr. Yovino in Beverly Hills, and I am still not impressed with my results. I had lost over 30lbs before I had the procedure, ate healthy, and exercised often, so there is no reason why my stomach never became flat after lipo. I allowed my mom to talk me out of going to Dr. Hansen because he didn't have a lot of reviews, which I highly regret. Yovino was nice, but once the procedure was over, he and his nurses were not attentive with follow up questions. They insisted to just give it time, and I would see great results. Although my waist did get smaller, I have almost the same stomach as I did before. Frankly, he didn't take out enough fat. I am now going for another round of abdominal lipo.

Wish Pictures

  • 7 Sep 2013
So, I forgot to include my wish list pictures on my first review... My thoughts have been that once I get all of this fat out, I can really work hard in the gym to get those abs & continue to reduce my body fat. "Helenes Transformation" really gives me hope that with a trusted Dr. and motivation to eat right and exercise even after the surgery, you can have the body that you have always wanted. Then on the other hand, I think about everything that could go wrong and I am petrified!

I didnt realized how harsh the recovery is, and how long you have to wear the garments for! I have been blessed to have great elastic skin, no stretch marks at all (even with the gaining and losing weight of 30+ lbs), and a curvaceous body structure. So sometimes I wonder am I just being too vain? Then again, its something that I feel will make me even happier when I look in the mirror.

I'll be making my decision in the next few weeks. Any thoughts or suggestions are welcomed! Thanks to everyone who has reached out to me thus far.

Yovino and his staff was very professional and courtesy, the facility is immaculate, and communication prior to the procedure was excellent. I did not get the results that I was hoping for. For $7000, I really expected to have nothing less than a flat stomach. I lost over 30lbs before the procedure, to help with results, and still I did not get a flat stomach. After surgery, I felt brushed off with my concerns when calling or text the Dr. and my coordinator. I wanted to wait a full year before reviewing, to make sure that the healing was done, and I received my final results. Although a great facility and friendly staff, I definitely do not think the procedure was worth it.
