$1,300
It's taken me a while to decide whether or not to make a review, but I've been so dissatisfied with my service that I felt the need to say something. I got one cool Sculpting treatment done on my lower abdomen. The nurse Ashton was very sweet, but new, and didn't listen to me what so ever, I told her my lower abdomen was the area of concern, she started addressing multiple area, I again informed her I was a single mother and this process would have to be one at a time. She proceeded to write me up a plan that was over $8,000 for multiple areas and treatments, with no breakdown of single treatments. If one was going to invest that much I'd imagine they would go for a tummy tuck. I was surprised that I didn't see the doctor at all during the consult. I left my consult feeling very frustrated and unheard. I had however heard good things about this doctor and my friends seemed to trust her so I decided to call and schedule my service. The price was something I had planned for and so it was a non-issue however I was told by the ladies at the front desk that I had to pay before the service, which I obliged but I found it interesting and noteworthy that my friends who had been in for the same procedure weren't required to pay up front. Anyways, everything in the in office procedure went smoothly, still didn't see the doctor though. Afterwards I had the nerve pain that I was told very few get and "you won't get it." It felt like extreme pins and needles how I'd imagine stabbing or extreme frost bite to feel like for 2+ weeks. I have a high threshold for pain, birthed a baby and unmediated dental procedures, however come day 3 this was unlike any beast I've ever tackled. I was unable to sleep due to pain for over 10 days, no clothing could touch it, I was unbelievably uncomfortable. When I finally called the office I still wasn't directed to the doctor, I was given back to the nurse who again didn't listen, didn't seem to believe me, didn't have many suggestions for me and the ones I was given made it worse. I was made to feel foolish for calling, It was so frustrating. I tried to let all that go, eventually the pain faded and I could just look forward to the results... Fast forward to 5 months later and I haven't seen ANY results, nothing. In fact the opposite has happened the area seems bigger and harder now. The research I've done shows this has happened to others too, and it's only correctable by surgery. I wasn't heard, my excruciating recovery wasn't taken seriously, it turned out to be a waste of money, and will need to spend a lot more to get it corrected...

My experience as well.
What do we do when stuff like this happens to us, in this industry? I had a terrible time with my second lipo experience at another Lake O provider, and they treated me terribly too on phone and right after procedure in the medical room, to the point where i didnt finish going to the check ups or even my after photos. After spending 13,000! I went to BBB and did the full report and even disputed it for a second round. I asked for half the price back, to no satisfaction, ive been reluctant to try any more procedures of any kind if they can get away with the occasional terrible service and half a$$ results!
