If I could give this zero stars, I would.

Let me start by saying that initially the staff at Moon Aesthetics come off friendly and interested in helping you get to your goals. They make you feel like they can get the job done, but then as soon as your surgery is paid for and the surgery is done, they are impossible to reach.

First and foremost, I will admit that I thought highly of Dr. Nees considering what I found on the Moon Aesthetics Instagram and his work on his now-deleted Instagram. I went in for a simple Lipo 360 based off of the photos they promote on their social medias and website. However, I've since come to find out that they have stolen images from the works of other surgeons. Like, they have a table picture of Takala (a popular influencer) on the Moon Aesthetics IG page stating that Dr. Nees did her body when the truth is, Dr. Humberto Pena in Colombia did her body and has the original table pics. Moon Aesthetics also has several pictures of Jai Nice (another popular influencer) all throughout their office space and in the Dr. Nees' office where they have no problem saying that he performed her surgeries as well, which is completely misleading and false.

But of course, without proper research, I feel for the trap and believed that Dr. Nees and the staff members of Moon Aesthetics would be capable of helping me reach my minute goals. (I say minute goals because my foundation was perfect, I'm an athlete who exercises regularly, but I just wanted to get rid of the stubborn fat that we all can't get rid of at the gym). Instead by the second week post-op, I knew something was wrong because I wasn't healing in the ways that they had said I would. I wasn't healing in the ways that many girls who go in for simple liposuction do. I was healing unevenly and with superficial layers of fat lipo'd. Not only that, but their in-house nurse/massage therapist SILVIA, who I paid to massage me (per the doctor's recommendation), was not only improperly massaging the fluids out of me, but Silvia was re-opening my incisions and using the cavitation on my freshly lipoid tummy.

CAVITATION IS AN ABSOLUTE NO-NO AFTER SURGERY because it leads to fibrosis and hardness. This is what also contribute to unflattering results. All of this which I have now.

I've come to find out a month after surgery that Dr. Nees decided to add on a procedure that was never discussed with me, nor mentioned. Nees etched a line down the center of my stomach to create my definition to my abs that were already there. This was so violation and never ever discussed with me. And I didn't;t find out until I got a body scan for the pulling-sensation I was feeling in the center of my tummy. When I mentioned this to staff, they gaslit me and tried avoiding me ever since.

As for their bedside manners, it is non-existent. Where in pre-op they were super attentive and excited to help, in post-op they completely ghosted me. And when they didn't ignore me, they gaslit my concerns. When I asked to speak with Dr. Nees the Moon Aesthetics staff denied me access to speak with the surgeon I paid to perform Lipo 360 on my body!

Here are the staff-members I am referring to: Dr. Nees, Jennifer (front desk), Yessica Martinez (coordinator), Mailyn Consuegra (coordinator), Charlene Montero (coordinator), Silvia (unlicensed massage therapist), Lily (coordinator), Dailys (coordinator), Orlando (medical assistant), and these are just the ones I can remember by name.

Not to mention, I truly believe there were surgical assistants, like Orlando, were the ones actually performing my surgery and not Dr. Nees because:
1. my lipo is so obviously uneven, there's no way one doctor did this poor of a job.
And 2. Dr. Nees like many unethical medical practitioners in the plastic surgery field, performs well over 4-5 surgeries a day.

Which is also something to consider if surgeons are only limited to a certain amount of hours in operation.

All in all, AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. AVOID DR. NEES AT ALL COST. There are so many other talented and well-skilled plastic surgeons who actually care about their patients, and their work. Going to Moon Aesthetics and choosing Dr. Nees is easily one of my biggest regrets. Now, I'm on a quest to get reconstructive surgery for something that was super minimal.

Hi my name is joana, I also had done a bbl, tummy tuck, and breast implants. I regret having my mommy make over with DR. Nees at moon aesthetics, at first the staff tels you that dr nees is the best dr in Miami and he will give you the best results that ur looking for. The staff is very friendly before you pay, after you pay they ignore you. I would give a zero star to this dr nees, the reason is because I whent for him to cover some dents i had, and after surgery i was left with the same dents (bbl pluse

Hello, im joana i had also a mommy make over with dr nees, i asked him to remove my old implants so i could get a bigger size and he ended adding only 50 ccs more when we had talked about adding 150 ccs to my new implants plus i ended with realy bad scars, he also did my tummy tuck. I regret it because my stomach is not flat and it was hurtin i went to ER and i was told that my TT was done incorect thats why i still look like im 3 mts preg. He also did my bbl, i asked him to comer my dents on my side hips and after surgery i was able to see my dents dr nees added me some hips when i had asked him not to add hips after couple of months i was noticing dents plus celulitis so now my bbl looks worst than before. I tried sueing dr nees and had no luck, i contacted The Medical Board of Florida and opened a case against dr nees they asked for lots of pictures and the case last about 6 months then they send a letter saying that i lost the case nothing was done about it.
