Very Dissappointed Brazilian Butt Lift After Care - Lutherville, MD

After interviewing 4 Plastic Surgeons, I decided to with Dr. R because he seemed to be quite knowledgeable about how fat behaves in the body. He spent a lot of time explaining the process and his staff was great. Unfortunately, after the procedure, I was experiencing a lot of pain and discomfort. I telephoned and saw the Dr several times for this, but he insisted that it was my back and sent me for and MRI of my back. He also continued to insist that all I needed to do was wear my compression garment and to give the process more time to resolve itself. I told him that I felt nodules and was not able to sit or lie down without pain.
Finally, I decided to visit Dr. Markmann who sent me for an appropriate MRI which determined that I had two nodules, one on each buttocks that he suspected were fat necrosis and were pushing on nerves. I am scheduled to have them removed next week.
I felt like Dr. R. didn't take my complaints with enough concern. It seemed as if he merely wanted to dismiss my concerns and didn't have any interests in helping me to feel better. The last time I saw him for this problem was in April. It is now August and he has not contact me to check on my status.
I was so disappointed in him and his lack of after care for me. Now my insurance company has to pay for a procedure that he should have diagnosed and treated as a part of my after care.
Shame on you Dr. Rodriguez.

Why was your procedure so cheap? I have a consultation with this doctor coming up for a BBL and was quoted a much higher price

I think her price is a typo... i had a SX by him. I really really liked him and the staff. I wanted to trust him.. but he directly lied to me about how much fat he actually put in. I requested the operative report for my SX with him ,and the proof was right there...... he is a great surgeon, but he is a liar and WILL NOT give anyone results other then what he feels doin. He will not do high volume grafts. He will not do aggressive lipo... its like he barely does anything for the money.

The picture he baited me in with in his office.. the round huge perky bubble butt,there are no other photos like that in his portfolio... because he really does NOT do them like that.. for the same money and wayyyyy better results look up Dr Schulman in NY. He will be doing my round 2 for sure!

Dr. Valls is not a board certified plastic surgeon just a cosmetic surgeon .Please be careful with that office .I also was thinking about going but the rep was way to pushy and my sister literally just let Valls before hers before I did my research 1.they ran out of the bbl pillow so she had a very uncomfortable flight 2. Her rep did not tell her to stay in Florida 7 days only four so now she has to find a doctor to take the drain out 3.That same rep had now disappeared 4.There were a few ladies yelling from the pain Also please read these articles https://www.newbeauty.com/blog/dailybeauty/11879-brazilian-butt-lift-plastic-surgery-deaths-miami/ https://www.miamiherald.com/news/health-care/article190099234.html
