i do not recommend this doctor or the surgery center she now works at - prestige plastic surgery
I had elective plastic surgery with Dr DeLeon. I had the liposuction360 procedure - full back and full abdomen including flanks.First I was put in the wrong sized post op garment. The garment was way too big and caused fluid to build up in my back and my abdomen, causing 3 seromas. I had 120ML of fluid drained from my body yesterday, April 6 2021 by Nurse Nike Odansaya.Second, I was given two prescriptions - a schedule II pain med (Percocet) and an antibiotic (Clindamycin). After four days and my family visiting six pharmacies, they were finally able to fill the prescription for the Clindamycin. However, every pharmacy they visited stated the schedule II drug could not be obtained. I went to a hospital in Atlanta, Emory, and attempted to fill the schedule II drug there. However i was told because she is a Florida doctor, they could not accept the prescription.It's been 7 full days and I have not slept, I can barely walk, can't sit down for a long time, and I cant get the massages that's required to help the lymphatic system drain the excess fluid because no one can touch me. It hurts so bad. The protein is starting to harden up under my skin which caused fibrosis.Not only were both she and her coordinator rude to me when I called even after they could both hear my stressed out tear filled voice, but she blamed all of this on me. I asked her why did you prescribe me something I cannot get filled anywhere. She had no answer.

How are things going now ? I've never ever heard of DeLeon being rude to a patient. Everyone speaks so highly of prestige.. so sorry you had a bad experience

I am sorry you ended up suffering due to lack of pain medication. Getting pain medication in the Miami area seems to be very difficult for many surgery patients. Many reviews I have watched the doll had their PCP provide them with a prescription when they returned home. I know that still is not fast enough but your PCP cleared you for surgery so they are aware of the procedure you had. Also some ended up getting their meds filled at Costco. You do not need a membership to get prescriptions filled. Hopefully your story will help someone else who finds themselves in the same situation.

This review has NOTHING to do with Dr. Deleon. Every body has fluid after surgery. Being put in the wrong garment is not a big deal, you’re supposed to buy your own anyways. You not being able to find your prescription is not the doctors fault. Everyone has pain after surgery, it’s not just you. You’re putting a doctors reputation on the line over BS. Grow up.
