Avoid at all costs, careless and rushed

From beginning to end my experience with Dr. Gruber was a nightmare. She caused extreme deep bruising that lasted weeks and my recovery lasted months. The areas she treated were black with bruises and extremely painful to the touch for months.
I sent Dr. Gruber Photos of the bruising and told me I was having an unusual reaction. When I emailed the photos to Dr. Su, the owner, he said this was a normal reaction. This completely contradicts what they say in the pamphlet about the recovery being only a few days with minimal downtime. They fill their IG and website with videos of them performing lipo on patients and asking how it feels, they respond saying they feel nothing or it feels like a massage. This was not my experience at all. I feel that I must have not been properly numbed as I felt everything and it was very painful. I requested twice that she inject more numbing lidocaine.
I would not have known how bad of a job this was had I not gone elsewhere to get my abdomen done . I had an awake and painless procedure, painless recovery, no bruising and for 1/3 of the price.
Dr. Gruber told me not to take the antibiotics that were prescribed to me for the surgery because my chart said I had IBS 5 years ago, but nothing current. She said just take one pill the day of and no more after that. After the 3rd emergency appt for the bruising and pain she told me to go straight to the emergency room because if I had well water in my home I could get a serious life threatening infection from showering with the cuts from her incisions. Terrified, we went straight to the ER. They said the bruising was from the surgery and confirmed via bloodwork that I had no infections or other complications. She did not ask me if I had well water before telling me not to take the antibiotics prescribed.
After the 6 months of swelling went down, you can clearly see there is an overcorrection in my thigh making one of them uneven, and one of my sides is bigger than the other.
Given the exhausting experience, I do not recommend Dr. Gruber.Last updated 7/24/20

Here are more photos of the various stages of deep bruising that lasted weeks. I started turning yellow, then blue and purple, then to dark purple and black, as seen in the original photos posted. These are on the inner and outer thighs.

I just want to update everyone on the reasons to avoid Dr. Gruber, as some reading my initial review think that the bruising is the part i feel is significant and why they should also avoid Dr. Gruber, maybe because there are photos of the bruising. However, the reason is that she told me that the bruising was "not normal" and "very unusual" and after seeing me 3 times for emergency visit she told me to leave the office and go straight to the ER and that the bruising could be a sign of a life threatening infection caused be her surgery that would have gotten into my incisions IF i had well water. She did not ask me if i had well water before the procedure or at any point and she also told me NOT to take the antibiotics they had prescribed me. I went immediately to the ER and they took blood samples and confirmed there was nothing wrong with me except some bad surgery. MORE IMPORTANTLY my results are very poor, one thigh is visibly than the other and my flank is also irregular and visibly misshapen. Here are photos, the one with black marks is the one from her office, they took a photo of me and printed it out, Dr. Gruber then marked on it what my "after" results would look like, and why i should pay her $10k more than what most lipo Dr's charge. Doyour research most lgood lipo Dr.'s charge $4-5k for this procedure, not $15 like Gruber. So beware of Gruber.
