Hello I had this same procedure done Dec 2023. In Jan 2024 I started calling the dr because the 4 bumps in my head did not go down they were actually getting bigger. I was told not to worry that this was normal and they would go away in Feb there was something coming out of my head once again I called to have them tell me they were going to tell the dr to call me but not to worry because this was normal. I called and called and called until I got tired and gave up. My head is getting worst. I am now in excruciating pain. One of the open wounds looks like it’s rotting. I was referred to a plastic surgeon who has asked for my medical records to see exactly what it was that dr Desouza used so she can see what can be done but guess what they have not send my medical records. I am in pain, depressed embarrassed and afraid that this can causes permanent damage. Please do not have this procedure done. It is dangerous, painful and not worth it because there was no results only pain.

Sorry to hear we are on the same page, this so called Dr. Shouldn't be performing any procedures on people. Please rate him on this site as well as this clinic

Cg Cosmetic Lawsuit

Do your homework before you even think about getting this procedure by this dr. All the 5 star reviews they have on Google are 100% fake, they have a good marketing team that bought all of them.

Hi, I just got it done last Friday , now I am scared i didn’t see your review, I have the bumps in my head , I have discomfort and I hope is going away , it was painful the same day but so far is less day by day but I can wait to be back to normal, the only thing is I don’t see much difference for the amount of money I paid ..

BEYOND DISGUST

Terrific677494
As previously stated, I had this so called "procedure" on March 21, 2024.

Today October 15. 2024 - 7 months - after, the bumps (abscess) on the left side of my head were still huge. I had to go to the ER for the 4th time. They sent me to see a plastic surgeon and this is what he extracted from my head.

This is an absolute shocked to me because I was told there were no threads inserted and only god knw the in hell are those pieces of stuff the doctor pulled out of the incision #drdespuza put in me.

If you arw thinking or planning to have this ripoff treatment PLEASE THINK AGAI

Oh my goodness you poor thing. What did this plastic surgeon say to you. This is beyond unethical and should be reported. I am terrified.

The plastic surgeon laughed at the videos I showed him from their IG page. He said it was a costly thread with amazing marketing videos. That procedure costs $800.00 and not $6K

Hi Eliseflow, I sincerely hope that you do not get this done. The results are minimal or close to nothing, not to mention the side effects. I have so far 6 people with the same or similar side effects and as posted, there are multiple lawsuits against this dr. and clinic so we are talking to that firm to take the case.

I will also file a complaint with the Florida Department of Health against Dr. Alexander De Souza. 2 people have told me that they requested their deposit over 2 months ago and they are still waiting, the sales person stop communicating with them, so I advise you to request your money back now.
