My Entire Body Destroyed by Joshua Cox!!!

There should be an option for 0 stars. He ruined my body which affected my entire life. I am not the only one he has beyond botched. I know of at least 3 others he has significantly deformed with over aggressive Lipo.
I have already had one revision surgery with a surgeon who specializes in revisions which somewhat helped improve but not nearly enough. I am now a week away from a second with another specialist that will include fat grafting.
I was in shape and thin with very little fat when I met Cox. I was told (after my procedures) by numerous other surgeons he should have never performed Lipo on me. He Lipo'd areas I did not even give permission. When I say my body is destroyed, I am not exaggerating. My arms, abdomen, entire back, buttocks, and especially my inner thighs are disfigured. Being a runner, I wore shorts every day. I cannot wear them (or a swimsuit) not only because I am so insecure and embarrassed by the damage to my legs, but I am also asked constantly what happened or why they look as they do. I have large deep, uneven indentations on the top of my buttocks from him trying to create a rounding effect (again I did not ask for this). I did not have a bbl or any fat transferred.
I let him know my concerns and he agreed to "fix" the areas by feathering and more Lipo! It only made things much worse.
Let me also mention I had an enormous seroma on my low back because he removed all fat in that area. He could not remedy it after multiple attempts. This led me to another plastic surgeon who treated me successfully after months wearing a drain with a bulb. Josh said the majority of his patients get seromas and they're "no big deal".
He posted video of my under anesthesia on his instagram without my permission.
As I mentioned previously, I am not the only woman I know he has done this to. I went to him on the referral of a friend. She and other friends initially thought he did a good job. Until the swelling starts disappearing and the healing begins. Then the true destruction is seen.
Please folks, do not go to Joshua Cox. There are a hundred reasons I could list. I doubt he's even board certified yet which I am so ashamed I didn't figure this out until it was too late. His focus is making butts and breasts bigger. All pics are on the operating table. He has no after photos of patients who have healed which says a lot.
I don't wish what I went through and am still going through 2 years later. The surgeons I have seen who do Lipo revision were shocked. They said I'm the worst they've seen. Only 2 out of a handful thought they could help improve the damage. First one, did a little. Fingers crossed on the surgery I have upcoming. Thankfully it is with an amazing plastic surgeon I had to my breasts over the years and he specializes in revisions. (If you're wondering why I didn't go to this surgeon initially, it was because I lived in Texas at the time where Cox practices. I have since moved.)

I had issues from him also. I'm so sorry you went through this and I'm praying for you to recover have some peace. It takes a long time to be able stand in the mirror and just accept what has happened. I'm also ashamed and I just figure it's my fault. Other surgeons have told me it was his fault. All the best and let us all know how your next surgery goes!

I was also disfigured from Dr. Cox. I wish there was something we could do. If nothing else, we should be reimbursed the money we paid. I will never be able to wear shorts again and can't stand to look at myself in the mirror. I even considered covering my legs with tattoos so that you cant see all of the indentations and distortions. How sad is that?

I have thought about doing this with my tummy. It’s terribly sad. I had such a beautiful body and now we have to live in regret. He wasn’t my doc but seriously, why us. :,(

Im sorry you had this experience but i have had the best experience with him and love my new beautiful body. This is the risk we take unfortunately when we go in for surgery.

A poor outcome or side affects is the risk. Having a botched up outcome from poor work is not.

I am sorry that anyone has had to go through this. I hope it gets better for you.

Very very sorry to hear this. Thank God he didn’t kill you. You could file a complaint with the state board to have his medical licensed revoked. Thank you for being brave enough to post this and help others.

I’ve had two revision procedures since my last post. My surgeon is wonderful (I used him in the past for breast augmentation) but unfortunately the damage initially done is too much. I also had multiple consults where some said there was no remedy and others suggested having a full lower body lift and tummy tuck but couldn’t guarantee there still wouldn’t be visible damage. At this point, I do not plan on undergoing any further revisions as it’s too much for me to put my mind and body through. The physical and mental trauma Cox caused me is immeasurable. I did have an attorney reach out to me who is representing someone else he worked on. I will be calling them back to get more information. My heart goes out to all of you who were harmed at this man’s reckless hands.

Hi there! I also have been affected at the hands of Dr.cox and am needing revision surgery. Any chance we could exchange info or you could give me the info of the attorney that contacted you? I’d like to also hire him. Thank you & im so sorry you’re going through this as well.
