I tusted him he made me believe I was going to have credible Result was he wrong
I did the following :tummy tuck, liposuction on my back and in my waistline..no waistline at all and I was left with a round stomach. ..
I went to my follow ups Several time and I told him I was not pleased I wasn't flat I had a round stomach I look pregnant he told me to lose 10 pounds and he would do liposuction for free which honestly I did lose the 10 pounds within a month I went in and paid 1500 for the anesthesia...my procedure was supposed to have been done at 8 o'clock I was stuck in the room until 11 o'clock wih my nerves killing me and no one coming in to tell me anything. ...Once Dr.Basu came in he look at the paper work and made the nurse reprint the paperwork because he was only going to do liposuction on my upper stomach I tried questioning him because Wasn't what we agree on but he got loud and said no I'm just doing that...ladies he's about to Do procedure on me I wasn't going to argue with him... it took him about 30 minutes to do the procedure I didn't see him again the nurses walk me out after 20 minutes of recovering....In conclusion months later I didn't gain Nor lose Weight, my stomach still look uneven round like if I was pregnant I tried calling him but the new coordinator which She's new , Elizabeth Is longer there tOld Me that he was going to refer me out she couldn't explain why now I'm out 13 500 Plus another 1500...the sad part is I'm not a rich person and i wont be able to fix myself until i save money again now I need to find another surgeon to fix his mistake it's not fair...my dreams of having a nice body do not come true please before choosing any surgeon do your research please do not go by the reviews many time I was told not to put anything negative or they will refuse to see me but now I realize I have to warn others I wouldn't want the same mistake to happen to y'all

Did your surgeon do the lipo at all? What did he say happened ? Did the muscle repair fail? You should look into Dr. Michael Salzhauer that was my other option but the trip to Miami and someone to go with me was a hard time. I wouldn't go to any surgeon he referred me to. Is it his practice? can you speak to the chief surgeon? And of course you must be nice about it

Your account here on realself was closed? Sorry I know this is almost a year old but I was considering this Dr for a BA and I'm glad I didn't pick him and ran into your review. I thought realself was a safe place where we could be honest. Its sad they closed your account for that.

Thank you for your post. If it wasn't for your comments, I along with others would be mutilated by this so called doctor while we filled his pockets. God bless you.

I am frustrated for you! When I wrote something negative on this site he ripped me a new one then deleted his response. Sorry We have to warn others!!! My pictures are going to stay on here so ladies can see for themselves. I will be going to another surgeon next month hopefully he can fix me. Hang in there

I had my revisions done by Dr. Lomonaco and I am very happy...maybe you should get a consult. BASU makes promises he can't keep and doesn't help fix them

Have you considered going to Mexico? I'm planning to go in November and have work done by Dr. Cervantes and his wife. I had my weight loss surgery in MX last October and had a great experience.
