Dont Go for Liposuction

So my experience with timeless was not a very good one unfortunately. I will say the staff and doctor are very kind however the outcome of the procedure saddens me. My story below:

I went to timeless looking to get some lipo done. I went to several others doctors or a consulation , and due to the kindness of him and his staff I chose Dr. Mehta. During the consultation Dr Mehta told me that I would need a tummy tuck, (I found that to be odd being that the other 5 consultations I went to told me that 360 lipo would help me achieve my results)  nevertheless, I declined the tummy tuck and opted for lipo 360, as well as lipo in my bra area inner thigh, kanckles, and arms. So I went in for my procedure about 2 weeks later  everything went fine. The nurses put me in a garment and sent me home. By day 3 I noticed that the garment was not fitting properly so I contacted the doctors office to notify the staff that the garment  was starting to leave indentations and that it was too big.  The nurse advised me that this was normal and that what I was experiencing was swelling and to make sure I make it to my 1 week visit to talk to Dr. Mehta. By day 7 my share looked worse I also noticed there were a few fat pockets in my lower abdomen. When I went to the 7 day visit I literally cried and told them my concerns. I told them that the garment was to big and that I think I needed a new one because the one I was in had little to no compression  also that I noticed unevenness on my right side of my lower abdomen as well as indentations under my bellybutton and hip where the garment was folding. They told me to continue to wear the garment that had no compression and to wear chucks underneath it.  That same day i went to a Columbia faja store to and the lady there immediately told me that what I was wearing would only leave me with poor results. She then fitted me for a stage one garment, and advised that I may want to talk to the doctor about starting massages to try to smooth out the damages the original garment had already caused. 

About 1 1/2 months in...

So by this time I could tell that the areas in my lower abdomen that were uneven were there to stay and that I would need revisions. I noticed a dent under my belly button and around my hip area that were from the garment that the doctor had given me. I emailed pearl at timeless to get information on revisions etc. She told me "we took out the maximum amount of fat and you will have to have the procedure redone at full price" I then sent her pics showing her the areas of concern.  I also told him that I noticed an unevenness in my thighs. she said make sure I come to the next visit and speak to the doctor about my concerns. When I went to the visit I showed the doctor , he said it was swelling although I knew it was not the case.


About 3 months in...
By now I could pretty much see my final results and I could tell revisions would be needed. During the 3 month visit. I explained to the doctor that I voiced these issues from day one. He told me I'm not trying to deflect but I will say you still may be swollen and that the unevenness that I was seeing was my obliques also that I would need to wait 6 months to see about revisions. 

6months 

I am now at my 6 months mark I have alot of unevenness in my abdomen still I have a fat pouch on my lower right side of my stomach, intentions in my his and under my bellybutton  my arms are very botched and my inner thighs look as if someone cut a chuck out and left a big dent. I have decided  NOT to go back to Dr. MEHTA  and I will be doing my revisions elsewhere. I cannot afford to risk going under and being botched again.. 

I went and got a second opinion and was told that the lipo was poorly done in all areas.



I will be doing my revisions with Dr. Oliver Chang on March 8 2018

Sorry to hear about your results. I had as similar experience. I decided to get a tummy tuck and haven't looked back. Best thing I ever did.

Omg so sorry, feel that a tummy tuck with lipo would’ve been better choice, we’ll won’t be using Mehta✅Off

Hi everything is well since I had my revision lipo with another doctor I made a review about him. I wish I would have went to him first because with dr Mehta it was money down the drain. But my revision doctor fixed me up for about half the cost and no tummy tuck.. lesson learned do the research.

I went to a consultation with Dr. Metah and knew something was wrong when he didn't have that many before and after pictures. Thank you for confirming
