Literally Robbed Me

ORIGINAL POST

Worst Consultation Ever—more Like Sales People Than Doctors—stole $500 from Me & Wasted my Time!

Worst experience ever. I saw them in July 2018. I was promised full results within a month. They knew I wanted the most immediate procedure with the most effective results. I gave them $500 deposit in cash and was sent a receipt. I want a full refund as well as I want them to cancel my surgery. Complete waste of my time. They did not explain this to me the way they should have, instead they only explained it to me the way they could get my money the fastest! I kept telling them I want the easiest, fastest recovery, but more importantly I want the best results because no one wants to spend $10k to PASS THAT MUCH FAT THROUGH THEIR OWN DIGESTIVE SYSTEM & wait a total of 6-12 MONTHS until they see the full results if they’re going to bother going UNDER THE KNIFE & PAY 10 GRAND. WOW! I’m so mad that they tried to dupe me, but I’m so glad I caught this in time. I told them I’ve tried Coolsculpting before and it made me physically sick, so sick that I couldn’t focus on my diet & exercise so I gained all the fat that I lost right back & I never lost enough in the first place. Don’t fall for these ridiculous laser liposuction tricks. Imagine your stomach absorbing a ton of liquid fat for 6-12 months. DISGUSTING. & that’s what it is. Because they’re too lazy to just do aggressive suction lipo. Can’t believe it. I hate myself for believing it even for a minute because I should have realized they weren’t listening or really caring when they forget I wanted my entire thighs done not just the inner thighs. And they mentioned something about my middle back when I never said I thought I needed my back done. No, I literally said I don’t think we need to do my back. What a lovey office (not really). Such a shame you can’t find any good doctors these days. I refuse to change my review until I receive my full refund.

Trying to Figure Out How to Delete Past Review

adrienne_x
I spoke with them on the phone and THANK GOD it was just all a mistake. Everything should go fine. Their site was confusing though. That is what caused this. The way they explained Smart Lipo on their official website did not match what I was told in person and over the phone again. I do believe I can trust them though. I was just really freaked out because I know I hear about a lot of doctors being kind of sneaky about manipulating the information. Of course, they want this to go just the way I want it to, so I have decided I will follow through with my procedure. I can't wait to do it! I'm not at all scared now to be honest. I am only a little worried about ruining my diet before the swelling goes down to see the exact results which are mostly going to be within a month rather than long term. I wanted to avoid the long term recovery and results, so I am pretty sure I will be happy with Smart Lipo with this doctor!

YAY! My Anxieties About SmartLipo Were Put To Rest // Can't Wait for More :)

I was worried after I left my consultation, but that was not exactly their fault. I just have a hard time trusting surgeons in this industry because a lot of foolish things are sold to people like me these days. I hope I can find a way to remove my first review about him because I was upset and confused when I thought I read completely different information about the Smart Lipo procedure they convinced me to be interested in when we discussed it face to face in his office. Now I am at ease and I am fully ready to take on the procedure. I hope it works out the way they have, for lack of better word, promised, & I hope this makes up for the first post I made. I wish RealSelf would allow you to delete reviews becaus I changed my mind about being upset over this. I'll add on more good notes later when the process begins! :) YAY
