I'm beyond disappointed....at this juncture I'm not sure if this dent and uneven, lumpy stomach will ever go back to normal. I know some people say it's all apart of the healing process, but when I look at other pics of some of the ladies who have had the same surgery as I did, it makes me wonder if my stomach will ever be completely flat. If you look at my pics from a few weeks ago, not much has changed.....I just got my abdominal board in the mail on Friday and I've been putting it on as soon as I get in from work!!! Hopefully it'll go away...:(

I am completely mortified and distraught at the fact that I was just informed that there are all of these medical malpractice lawsuits against Dr. Ayman Shahine!! When I researched him I didn't find any!!! My stomach looks the same. It's still hard and lumpy and seems uneven in some spots, but I was told by other doctors that this is in fact normal. HOWEVER, the fact that this one indentation hasn't gone away is really alarming and concerns me a great deal. I don't know if I'll have to undergo additional surgery or what, but I am very nervous and uneasy. I'm just trying to be patient, but it's kind of hard when I look at other pictures of ladies who have had similar surgery and they look absolutely amazing. You can compare my pics that I'm uploading today vs. the ones I uploaded initially. Looks exactly the same.

Hey Ladiii!!!! I can relate with you as far as that office go. I did not use him but he was my first choice! I had my surgery in April with a dr in Long Island. I too have some dents in my tummy but I think it's all my fault me wearing my jeans to tight. You look great anyway! I know how you feel not being completely satisfied. Your ass tho two thumbs up!!!

I'm hoping that maybe since those 3 women went public, he'll have some type of repudiation repercussion... crazy. . And Coco (Ice T's wife) was there the same night that I was.. I'm sure she didn't receive the same treatment that we does did...

I'm not at all surprised that your girlfriend waited 48hrs, she's not a celebrity, she's just an ordinary person they only give celebrity VIP treatment !

The only reason you stomach looked flat right after you surgery is because you were lay flat on you back, mine also looked like that.
ORIGINAL POST
I researched Dr. Ayman Shahine since..probably...
I researched Dr. Ayman Shahine since..probably about January 2014. Initially I had to figure out a way to come up with the money for the procedure. I am still in the healing stages so I can't say for sure how happy I am with the liposuction portion of the surgery, however, my ass looks amazing!! Some of my friends think it looks the same. That can't be possible because I went from a size 3 in jeans to a size 10!!!!! His staff is SO UNPROFESSIONAL and so uninformed about virtually everything!!! I sent pics to Marley, who lied about being the office manager. She gave me one quote in January and when I got ready to come back for my procedure it increased by $2,000!!! I saved all of my texts. She lied and mentioned something about the price being a "promotional price". YEAH RIGHT!!! Those consultants make up the prices as they go along. I only had a small pouch in the front of my stomach. OK. So here's where it gets crazy. My date for surgery was suppose to be 7/24. I sent my debit card information via fax, along with a letter, stating I was authorizing a one time withdrawal of $500. The very next day, I check my account, only to see $4,000 deducted from several accounts!!! Overdraft fees, etc.!! To say that I was livid would be a complete understatement. I call my bank, put in a claim and received a refund, only on my banks behalf. Not to mention, the following day was my 32nd birthday!!! In any event, I called and spoke with a few uninformed staff members and then finally found out that Marley is no office manager at all. She promised to move my appointment date up (another lie!!). So when I finally found out who the office manager was, she told me that I could come in on 6/14 at midnight. I got there and was told that they couldn't find any paperwork on me, other than blood work. they didn't have any receipt for the $4,000 or anything. Luckily for me I brought my bank statement to prove that they in fact took $4,000 from several accounts (I had to go through hell getting fees back because I have several credit cards linked to my bank account and since the $4,000 didn't just come from 1 specific account, I had to constantly be on the phone with my bank AND credit card companies...total nightmare.). So, the girl asks me what my balance was....I just made up a number because I was so pissed off!!! The number I gave her was VERY, VERY LOW...needless to say, I didn't pay the entire amount. If his office was more organized that would have never happened!!!! I got to the office at midnight, surgery was at 6 a.m. and I left by noon. I had lipo done to my stomach, sides and back, and then I had the BBl procedure. I was awake for the entire procedure and believe it or not, I FELT NO PAIN AT ALL. I will be honest though, the injections in the butt was something I could actually feel a little bit. But the lipo was a piece of cake!! And I had to be put to sleep during birth!!! I am no sucker for pain ladies, so please believe me when I tell you there is no pain! NOW.....afterwards, I was given this garment to put on. Now I am noticing small lines and a slight crease/indentation that I am working on hard on making sure it doesn't become permanent! I leaked for a bout 2 days. It's been 6 weeks now and I still have a slight bulge in the front. I haven't worn any jeans, only dresses, so I make sure I don't have anything tight on. The garment is supposed to be worn 4 weeks day and night, and another 4 weeks at night only. I've kind of fallen back from wearing the garment at night all the time because I think it may be the reason behind some of the lines/creases/indentation. So I do it every other night because I notice that when I don't wear it at night, when I wake up in the morning, the lines/creases aren't as visible.

Jill81 Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. How about today, my stomach is actually much flatter and that indentation is minimized. Crazy! I just have to be patient...I guess!

Just my opinion- but since you already had the surgery I think you should just focus on your healing- sounds like you are doing well so far so maybe you don't need to worry about all the stuff that has been going around about him recently. Â I know that is hard- I hope your lumps and bumps get better soon (and yes, that is totally normal).

OMG Mriley728!! The lady Carolyn was there when I came out of my surgery and she said she was going to the news on his ass about her breasts....she even went as far as lifting up her shirt to show everyone in the waiting room how her breasts were uneven....and they really were..I felt so bad for her....welp..she made good on her promise!

This Dr was on the new yesterday he is not board certified. He has several malpractice lawsuits. On the news they said he washes his equipment off in a sink and his surgery suite is not accredit.

Mriley728, When I researched him I saw no medical malpractice lawsuits against him. What news station was this covered on yesterday? OMG!!!!

Mriley728, I am even more mortified now than I ever was before!!! I just called to schedule a post op appointment and was told to come in on August 11....I'm printing out the article to bring in with me to show other patients...I truly cannot believe this...NOW....7 weeks later I'm seeing all of this nonsense. I can't even have anything done until I'm 3 months post op anyways, but I was reassured that I wouldn't have any out of pocket expenses for "touching up"...whatever the hell that means....have you looked at my pics?! I mean, my ass is perfect. I didn't want it to look too big and he did just that! But it's my stomach that concerns me. I kinda feel like I look like a square. I don't see any curves at all. Well, except the initial pic that was taken after surgery.

Hopefully your stomach will start to look more even as time go on if not I would sue him. But since you talk to other dr and they said it normal that should give you a little comfort :) I am surprise that you did not find anything before the surgery. I was going to go to this doctor but I found so many bad reviews and it scared me then the malpractice claims that he had to pay out OMG. He had to pay one lady 555,000 and there are a lot others. I hope everything turns out ok for you

Mriley728, saw the video and read the article. My heart breaks for these women. And the ones that haven't come forward.

Go with an army sweetie cause it stated that this man raised his hand at someone. I also read that he made threats to several women saying they better take down the negative reviews or they'll be sorry . Wtf!

Sorry to hear about what that scammer, wanna be manager did to you. That booty looks great! Did you wear an ab board or lipo foam under your garment? They help reduce those creases that the garments tend to create.
LM
August 1, 2014
Akeim21, thanks hon!! I wear this foam pilates mat underneath the garment. I've never heard of an ab board. The mat reduces the indents temporarily though. I just hope to God it's not permanent!!!

Akeim21, his staff claims he is overseas for 2 weeks. ALL THEY DO IS LIE!! My friend wanted to know how many cc's of fat was transferred and when I called to get that information, I was asked why I wanted it! TF?! BECAUSE IT'S MY RIGHT TO KNOW!! If I have to drive into NYC it's gonna be a very unpleasant visit for whoever is in that office. I'm tired of playing games with them. I just pray I don't need more surgery to correct this issue, because his ass is gonna fix this and I'm not spending another penny!! I wasn't even 140 lbs when I got this surgery so he really didn't have much to do!! Ugh.....trying to be patient..but when I see pics of ladies at 17 days post o[p with completely flat stomachs, I begin to wonder what is taking mine so long!

Wow! Very unprofessional. I would ask other doctors on here on regards to what you should expect and do. Be sure to post your pictures. Then go for his ass. Stalk him if you have too. We work too hard for our money.

Mriley728, the fact that he is only certified as an OBGYN doesn't mean too much because my OBGYN delivered my daughter 11 years ago and knows Dr. Shahine...not only does he know him, they've actually taken courses together to perform smart lipo procedures....had I known my OBGYN did the surgery I may have paid the extra money and just gone with him....smart lipo is much different than regular lipo. So, that part doesn't surprise me.
