33 Yr Old Mother of 4 TT, Lipo of Arms and Thighs - Columbus, GA

Thank you so much

No I'm not. I actually stopped wearing it after about 8 weeks. I probably should have kept wearing it. Lol

Typo* Look

Your very welcome. Thank you

Thank you. Who did you go to and you didn't like your results?

I went to his partner Pagadala. My results are horrible.

Thank you so much

Thank you so much :-)

Thank you luv

I had my surgery on 8/5 and I have no complaints . I am swollen and bruised like someone beat me lol I mean purple and black were I had the lipo to. But I will tell anyone go buy your gut feeling and pray before you decide. Do not let negative vibes make you change your mind. And compare negative to positive reviews. You got to do what he tells you before and after. And i waited to find a doctor to lose some weight cause I wanted a certain look. I detoxed and did other things to lose some of my stomach and extra fluid I already had. And I took vitamin before seeing him and I do still now. Certain vitamins before and after can actually help the healing process and how you will look. I will say when I do not wear my garment I start to swell. So I am glade I ordered two full garments and I wear a corset to shape my body. But please do not compare your looks to others and think you not healing right or your look is not right. Give it time and do what needs to be done. Then after you have did everything by the book . Say honestly I am not happy . Ms TSTE1751 my comment cause i agree something about others situations does not add up. And I have not seen anyone pay over 7000 with him.

Thanks luv

Thank you. I am very pleased.

Of course I don't mind. I am 5'7-5'8 and weighed 225. He did require me to lose any weight. I also have a friend that went to him a few years ago that weighed more than me and he didn't require her to lose any either

I was 15 Pds more then you and wasn't told to lose any weight either, I don't understand why he did such an half done job, I understand fat being in places that are dangerous to lipo like stomach area but I didn't get much lipo on sides flanks nor thighs and added fat in places that wasn't needed, I guess it's a hit or miss with him like Russian Roulette, you might come out ok then you might not. It's definitely a gamble ! Although I will say you look good !

Wow. That is strange. I had a friend who went to him a few years ago and that's who put me on to him. I personally havent seen too many bad reviews about him. What did you get done and when? Do you mind sharing pictures and at what point did you realize there was a problem? I am now 9 days Post Op so I am trying to see if something is going to change or what. @jazzeyt.

Thank you. I never had a c-section or hysterectomy. I had my children natural and got my ties tied. I can say that the recovery is not as bad as I was expecting. Making myself walk short distances the day after helped a lot. I think the back pain hurts worse then they tummy tuck lol.

Ok thanks!

Your very welcome

I hear what your saying and feel very bad that you had to go through that. I just don't see how the doctor coukd have known how much blood you lost because you drain you own drain at home so if you kept draining so much blood until until the time he took them out I would have said I'm still draining alot and he would have left it in longer. Before your surgery you have to get a compete blood count which measures your iron levels as well. That has to be good before your surgery is done so yours had to be good. After that you do come back for check ups on you surgery. He is not a pcp so he wouldn't order more lab work after. A doctor also has no way of knowing how your body will react to plastic surgery. I am not trying to take up for him, I'm just saying the things you experienced was actually out of his control. He did do the right thing by offering to correct what you disliked. In life there will never be one situation that has perfect results for every single person but that doesn't make that person un skilled or less knowledgeable it just means everyone's body is different which is why we as the client understand that our result may not come out like someone else. In regards to the money, I actually requested more work and he told me that I didn't need it, he told my friend the same thing so he could have easily taken alot of money from me. Have you asked for the before and after pics of your surgery? Do you have a before pic of you, a pic the day after surgery and at like 2 weeks, a month, things like that so we can maybe look and have a better visual? Those comments were in regards to the tummy tuck. Now I do know he specializes in that. You can tell even my his incisions. I can't speak on the BBL or the breast. All in all, I hate that you went through that. But maybe try to look at things in all perspectives before completely faulting the doctor. He is board certified with the highest certifications plus his facility that he performs his surgeries are board certified and licensed. The State stays coming in evaluating making sure it is suitable and it is. I hope you don't take this the wrong way I just wanted everyone to look at it in another way. I am very pleased with my resluts and the way he and his staff calls to check up on you after. Good luck and best wishes

Very very true every1 will respond different... Hopefully people dont make the mistake by still eating fatty foods that will do it to just fyi.... Good luck to everyone tho.. I guess if people wanna keep spending money let them.

When I mentioned blood lost, I'm talking about during the surgery, as for the drains I drained down to proper level but continued to fill afterward and I'm telling him this, he never attempted to draw fluid until after E.R. visit. I did get lab work done and I have a copy of it that shows some of my levels not being in the correct range, I'm waiting to have them read from a professional just to make sure he isn't disregarding lab work. He has the authority to order lab work if he is a physician period, and he lied to e.r. Dr. Saying he would, I don't think I mention anything that he did that was out of his control, the first thing he could've done was examine me when I first came to him and told me you have excessive fat in abdominal area so this could pose a problem with lipo, second thing he could've done was suggest me lose weight before he took my money and he didn't, now I just mention to solutions before he every touched me surgically. You can dress it up for him however you like but facts are facts, I'm here to keep someone else from experiencing what could be way more then the few that had courage to speak up on his poor regard for human life, he is very unethical and it will eventually catch up with him, you have your opinion due to a good out come but allow for someone else a chance to here what happen to someone that didn't get your experience and money taken in the process. I and another young lady from out of town meet over the phone and talk for hours about our experience, she actually had a blood transfusion it was an emergency right after her surgery with him, now you can continue to uphold him but these are facts I'm speaking, while your speaking from a general aspect of what a Dr. doesn't have control over, heavy bleeding to an exstint of needed blood from several people, one whom was in ICU, is proof. Ok if he wasn't out for money then why refuse to return for what I didn't get, so tell me this would you sit closed lip if this was your outcome ? Not seeing any of what you paid for along with E.R. bills that really would be enormous had I stayed home and listen to him tell me not to go to the E.R. This is a fact because the Brittney girl said it, and that is never a good look to tell your patient that for any reason, he doesn't have to pay the bill so why would he, let me see if you can come up with an answer for that...yes I have before and after pics that's why he refunded my bbl because he knew be didn't specialize in it, that it was a fail. As for being state certified that still doesn't make a person follow rules & regulations, if you have any medical knowledge and you stress that he and his staff is so board certified, what Dr would come out of the middle of surgery in their scrubs with blood smears, that say you have broken skin, just to come out to see a patient that is none emergency to pull a drain tube out, I would think that can expose the patient to more germs especially if their cut open, I'm sure he didn't go dispose of those scrubs rescrub down again etc....I was really shocked at that, I kept an open mind and waited six mths before giving my review, I did what was told to me and I still say he lacks in his expertise, and like I say his staff has a job to do which is to check up on you, and speak pleasantly but the moment something is wrong with you then you see the change, you can't speak on that, professionalism needs to be there regardless of it being a issue with a patient, you still have a ways to go with your healing God forbid you see a tad bit of what I'm saying and you'll have to come back and revise some of what you speak so highly on with this Dr. & his staff I think I cover all of your question & addressed all your statements, best wishes as well and happy healing !

First off because I will be the bigger person I will not go back and fourth with you cause clearly you know everything. I'm not covering up for anyone cause at the end of the day he doesn't pay my bills. All im saying is if you lost that much blood during surgery that you almost needed a blood transfusion, I promise you you would have known that asap after the surgery when you was first sent home. You stated that the doctor at the er called Dr cochran to tell him to come check your blood and Dr c lied to the doctor. Im confused. Your at the er and the doctor call another doctor to check your blood? Second, if you claim he could have told you to lose weight prior to surgery then clearly you already knew you were bigger than average and you chose to get it done anyways at your own risk. However, in your profile you said you were not a big women and didn't have much stomach fat so if that was the case, how could he tell you to lose weight first if you wasnt big. Your story contridicts itself. Next, if the blood work that was drawn weeks prior to your surgery shows there was low levels of whatever and you have the copies to prove it, I'm confused at why you still had the surgery. You sound crazy. Dont get me wrong, you may not have gotten the results that you were hoping for but some things you said dont make sense to me. Last, you always trust your instincts so if they were telling you no, then you should have listened. Futhermore, I get it you want to "help other people" by telling your story. So help them get a visual by posting your before pics, day of surgery pics, after surgery pics, and so on, not just a 6-7 month after pic so we can truly see what your saying. I do have a degree in Healhcare so please dont go there. You stated that you was telling him that you was draining in the inside after the drain was taken out but he advised you not to go to the er and you listened? If you seen him come out of surgery in scrubs with blood on them to check on you and you was so shocked but you let him still take your drain out with blood on his scrubs and you waited the 6 months as he stated. It just doesn't make sense to me to trust a doctor that showed you so many downfalls in your face. There is no way any doctor would toich me with bloody scrubs on. Anything could have happened in 6 months. I do have a long time to heal and I pray I continue to heal great but reading all of the paperwork that he gave before hand I prepared myself that no certain result is gaurenteed so it's at my own risk. I hope you get your issues corrected by another ps and prey the same thing doesn't happen

First off why are yall going back and FOURTH!!! It anit my money so personal it dont matter... But who doesnt go to ER when they dont feel right????? [RS bleep] what any doctor say if i dont feel right i am going to the ER!!! Like come on ppl we are grown... Anywho i hope every1 gets healed.

Girl I am so done that you could stick a fork in me, lol she clearly doesn't know how to allow someone their opinion, and not shoot me down for putting up my review, my results and pictures speaks volumes of his work, it is nothing you could say to help him, his poor results is what will hurt him !

Thank you for your comment as well as your review. Good luck in your journey, enjoy the rest of your day.

You so crazy girl!! You already sexy boo!! Thank you though

You welcome suga!!!! Happyyy healing

Happy healing to you too

Hey luv. I am doing amazing. 10 days Post Op and I'm driving, walking just about all the way upright, and I only have minimal swelling. Are you excited? Don't be nervous, well, I was too lol. After it's over you are going to be super happy

Wow! That's great! I hope that I recover as fast as you. My emotions are all over the place (excited, nervous, etc). I've been trying to lose weight but I've plateaued so I'm just trying to maintain until my TT.

You will be fine. I was the same way. I didn't try to lose weight. I just stuck with healthy eating and drinking tons of water. I am so excited for you. Keep me updated

Thank you. You will havr great results. There were a few things i did that i think helped. I took 2 Bromelain pills daily, drunk at least 2 100% dole pinapple juice daily(little cans), forced myself to walk small distances several times a day, and for the first 2 days, I took the pain pills around the clock. I hope this advise help. Cant wait until you join the flatside

Can't wait either. Did you use a faja? If so, where did you get it?

I personally didn't use a faja but I heard they are good to use. I am thinking about getting one. I seen some on amazon. I just got a garment that goes from under the breast down to my thighs. That seems to do the trick. I may even get a good waist trainer to put on my waist while I'm in the house for extra firmness
