Dr. Bass & Vanity Cosmetics scammers

Hi ladies, just wanted to update you guys on my continued nightmare with Dr Siddarth Bass. I had been in communications with Claudia at vanity who said she was helping me with my situation. I had been working on a lawsuit and requested my complete medical records since November. She called me up and we went back and forth for about two months then she told me that she brought my case to the CEO and management and the options they offered was:
1. A redo/retouch with fisher but for $6000
2 A redo/retouch with another doctor for a fee or
3. A refund due to the fact that I had gone through so much and I had incurred a hefty medical bill from my stint in the hospital
I obviously choose the refund. They Had me fooled, they even had their lawyers send me settlement paperwork to sign. The lawyers called me and said everything was finally finished and they would send me a check but then Ms. Claudia called me the following day and told me that SURPRISE we changed our minds and we will not be refunding you after all. She said they were going to cut the check but then Dr. Bass said that he didn't think my situation warranted a refund. Can you imagine?????? He says he could correct the issue for a fee as could one of their other doctors. I think it was their plan all along. In the beginning I was having a problem getting a lawyer as I live in NY but fortunately I have legal representation in NY who referred me to an attorney in Florida who is gladly taking my case. I don't care how much it cost me I am not going to stop until I shine a light on Dr Butcher aka Dr Bass and Vanity Cosmetics.

Thinking about accepting an offer to go with Dr. Fisher
teetee22January 15, 2015
Vanity has told me that they are willing to let me get a revision of my bbl with Dr. Fisher for half price. I am on the fence about Vanity, actually I'm scared. I mean after my ordeal I really have to think hard about this. I am really really trying hard to keep my weight down. I know I am not gaining any weight but shedding the pounds seems like an impossible task (I have PCOS). Here are my wish pics, I wonder if there is any way I could get anything close to this. What do y'all think?

I don't know if you can get close, but I know that shedding the lbs with PCOS can be done! Usually, a low carb diet works best.
January 17, 2015
If the weight came off and inches she would get super close I think.... I agree applshapegirl.
January 16, 2015
Dr. Fisher is no better. He has me looking all jacked up.
January 16, 2015
I can't really tell from your pics how bad you look. I think I see a booty but I don't know if you always had that. What happened, did he just not put enough?? Would you consider posting some b4 and after pics...
January 16, 2015
I posted an after picof my dented butt. I didn't even want to post that. It's square and flat. Let's just hope u don't have to learn the hard way and he does urs right because he has me looking worse then begore.
January 16, 2015
From your lips to God's ear. I am hoping I will be one of the lucky ones. He seems to mostly have good reviews and great results from the pics unlike Dr. Bass. I am so scarred and nervous about doing this just cause you never know if they are going to have an off day with you.
January 17, 2015
Being realistic is ultra important when choosing your wish pic, I am going to be honest and let you know because u asked what we all thought; your wish pic is not same shape as you. Also you gotta consider the skin elasticity some people think after Lipo there is fat but the reality is loose skin don't look good and can look like fat rolls. Liposuction will take a lot of you fat cells and sculpting you with your natural curves and your natural build. You can and will achieve a lot of removal of fat deposits and I feel Fisher will give you a better shape . You can expect to look like you but smaller and more defined waistline. A more prominent butt too. But please don't go n expecting to look like the girls u have wish pics on if u do you will b let down every time. 30'sdaNew20 is correct if you wantresults close to the wish pic then you probably shouldn't get a trainer and it is possible to lose weight with polycystic ovarian syndrome because I have the exact same thing.
January 17, 2015
Ladies!!!! My wish pics are just me saying "I wish I could look like this" I am aware of my body type and just really want a bigger butt and hips. A better waist to hip ratio so I don't look and feel top heavy. I know I may never get a flat stomach and I have accepted that but as long as Dr Fisher can do better than Bass I will be happy. I just want to get what I freaking paid for. Tallcurves84 I never said I can't lose weight. I'm not really sure why you thought that. I actually lost 25lbs prior to going for my surgery. I like the wish pics because the person in the pics has very skinny legs just like me. Notice how I said "close to" and not the "same results"
January 17, 2015
I'm not a bigger girl and my expectations were realistic. I didn't have a bunch of wish pics of celebrities. I wanted two butt cheeks that were the same size without dents. That seems fairly reasonable to me.
January 17, 2015
I can understand where you're coming from. You want realistic results such as visually evident results which bass clearly didn't due based upon your pics. Good luck to you and I hope he does a great job on you. After all youve been through, you deserve it.
January 17, 2015
Bass does not do good in bbls I was told this by several coordinators, you can and will get a bigger butt hips and be smaller at the top, my comment is saying just that I guess I was more analytical then I needed to be. my wish pic is myself with a more projected booty. Dr, Fisher and Dr McAdoo can and will give you what you want, but I feel they should only change you anesthesia fees and that's it because it was their [RS bleep] up I wish you could sue that Dr, because he shouldn't get away with that.
January 17, 2015
Working on it.... suing is definitely still on the table. I have a few people who are interested in a class action lawsuit. Just working on getting a few more. If Not and I Have To Move On Without That Satisfaction then I'll just have to do what I have to do.
January 17, 2015
very reasonable but some people take in wish pics that are super not realistic I mean if im 5'11 im not ever gonna look like a person that 5'4 and 115 pounds no matter what procedure I get. I haven't seen any super unrealistic pics on here in months tho. Chyna1984 wish pics are more realistic for the bigger girls check her page out. We can be beautiful curvy and sexy without being tiny. Wish I could post pics in this comment but I cant. We all are beautiful and I feel we can enhance any figure to be even more beautiful no matter this shape or size but we all have to make sure our hopes don't get to high with wish pics because not many of us come out like our wish pics, even girls with same shape don't came out like wish pics mostly. genetics suck, especially for me. Teetee22 you are not fat lmao you have a bigger build and bone structure I don't see much fat sweetie.
January 17, 2015
Tall curves 84 is right when she said that you will get your curves from fisher and mcadoo. The things that I can say fisher did right was he gave me nice hips and sucked my waist in nicely. He messed up a lot of other stuff but he did those two things right. Fingers crossed for you**** can't wait to see your after pics.
January 27, 2016
I don't understand all these girls on here want a bigger butt, when they are already big. I naturally have a lordic curve. If your butt. Is wide and flat you need to loose weight first,because the doctor is going to put the fat too high and you will have a but on back.
January 17, 2015
Can you possible get a trainer for 3-6 months and then have the revision with Fisher? It think it's really important to be close to your goal weight pre op, for the best possible results.
January 17, 2015
Lol.... I own a dresser full of waist trainers. I do not go a day without wearing one. I actually have been wearing girdles and trainers for years. I struggle with PCOS. My weight has been up and down pretty much most of my life hence one of the reasons for the surgery. I work out liberally and drink loads of water. When I lose weight my stomach is the last to go down and barely. Truthfully my wish pics are just that wishing! I am hoping that Dr Fisher can give me a bigger rounder butt with a better waist to hip ratio and flatter back. I am not sure my stomach will ever be flat.
January 17, 2015
Personal trainer... I was suggesting that based off the wish pics you posted.
January 17, 2015
That's a good idea because doing it on my own is brutal. I am determined though to lose more weight b4 going.
January 17, 2015
Yeah I think you can do it, a training and maybe even a nutritionalist can have you reach your weightloss goal before it time for your rd 2. Good luck and don't give up!
January 26, 2015
Fisher/Hasan will get it done provided ur BMI is below 30! If not, they will send u home!
January 26, 2015
My BMI is currently 30.6. I am really trying to lose about 20lbs to get a better BMI.
January 26, 2015
look at envy_2_da_gawdz profile. She went with McAdoo due to having a high BMI. See what u think. Her and hlfadzn, swears by him.
January 26, 2015
Lemme tell you ladies about how Grrrrrr8 God is! Jackie from the (Vanity) Hialeah office just called and quoted me a price for BBL with 12 areas of Lipo sculpting for $3900.00. This is today's price with this Doctor. Jackie is the 4th coordinator that I've spoken to from Vanity. (1) Jessica for Hasan. (2). Stephany for Hasan. (3). Leah for McAdoo. (4). Jackie for Bass. I told her to allow me time to research this guy cuz I had never heard of him. She reluctantly agreed. Hence, I am reading Tee Tee's horrific review! The first one I came across on the unknown Doctor!!! I called Vanity back, requested to speak to Jackie, they didn't even know wtf I was talking about!!! REALLY??? I was placed on hold to allow them to track her down. After 15mins on hold, I hung up! I will be staying in Chi-town, doing my surgery here with Dr. Tinsley. A bit more expensive but when u add up all the travel, RH, food and headaches (from Vanity) expenses, I think u balance out!
January 26, 2015
I think you're right about the price balancing out.... When you think about it it's not really worth it to go to Miami.

BBL Nightmare with Vanity Cosmetics and DR. Bass
teetee22November 5, 2014
I have been getting consultations from other surgeons and I'm getting increasingly annoyed. The general consensus is that very little was done to me ( as is obvious in my pics). I'm angry because it will cost me the same as I spent before and in some cases even more than before. Why am I being penalized for a doctor doing a half assed job. If I hired a painter to paint my house and the finished product is streaky walls I would ask him to correct it or refund my money. Why is it different for these doctors. I wonder if I could take them to small claims court?? Why should I have to not only be out the money from my first surgery, but now I have hospital bills, added lost PTO time from work and I have to find the money to pay to fix me up.......

www.advancedplasticsurgerysolutions.com....look this Dr up he's located in Atlanta ..he is excellent and stands behind his work
November 16, 2014
I feel you girl and I'm right there with you and I'm going thru the same thing.
December 3, 2014
Are you going through the same thing with Vanity???? If so would you be interested in joining me for a class action suit?
December 3, 2014
I hadn't had surgery with them lol. They got some of my money an ain't heard from them.
November 18, 2014
Dr. Fisher is great but I just wish he worked somewhere other than vanity because that place is soooooo freaking shady! After almost a year I'm still going through it with them to get my money back! My coordinator was Jessica and assured me the deposit is refundable. Yeah right. That place seriously needs to be shut down or he'll be burned to the damn ground! Business practices are disgusting and shady at best.
December 3, 2014
Hi, I would definitely take him to court. There is a great chance that you'll be awarded the cost of your surgery back and can use it to pay for the 2nd surgery. Good luck.
December 3, 2014
I am working on taking not just him but Vanity cosmetic surgery to court..... I haven't been able to find an attorney willing to take the case because they don't see a big payout. They all say that it's not because I do not have a case. I would love to get a few other people together and file a class action lawsuit.
January 14, 2015
Hey, how are you doing?
January 15, 2015
I'm good. I'm sorry to hear about your results. I would take him to court for that.
