I went to spectrum aesthetics in Miami. My surgery date was January 17th, 2017. I was so excited that I was going to get lipo!!! Nothing could change my mind. My doctor was dr. Gurhani... let me tell you . WORST DECISION EVER. My Bestfriend and I went together, we were both getting surgery. Long story short, my Bestfriend didn't get surgery. They gave her a HARD TIME when it came to giving her money back, literally worst costumer service ever ! They lied to her multiple times, going back and forth about giving the money back, unprofessional, I can go on forever about that case... me on the other hand, I decided to still go in for my surgery. The day of surgery, I got marked up and went under anesthesia. Once surgery was over , gurhani informed me that I had a hernia... it came out of my belly button & he "pushed it back in" . Why did he push it back in instead of taking it out ? I don't know . But the day after surgery, I looked horrible . Bigger than what I was before surgery . My bottom stomach was hanging and I literally felt like i wanted to die. So next day I went back to get a lymphatic massage, they told me take off my garments and wait for the doctor . Literally they had me waiting naked for over 30 minutes, on a scale of 1-10 in regards to pain, it was a 15 and on top of that I was freezing. I had to beg someone for a blanket, and later started crying because I felt like I was being neglected. 45 minutes + later, gurhani finally came in & basically telling me that it's a possibility that I won't like my results. I was confused because he has had other patients that he posted on Instagram that was WAY bigger than me , and their results are phenomenal. I'm not that big so I was confused. He told me to give it a while, that I will start to see my results because of the swelling. I am now 1month and 2 weeks post op. I'm still swollen , but it went down . I still have a pudge in my stomach, I'm assuming that's from the hernia . Literally it's a cut off area from my upper abdomen, I'll post pictures. Lately I've been suffering from sharp pains in my back, stabbing pains , I'm assuming it's nerve pains. I tried calling the office to ask questions on what I should do in regards to this pain that I'm having, I left multiple messages , and no one has responded. I honestly feel like they just wanted the money . I'm almost certain if I was to go to another doctor, my results would've been 10times better than what it is now. I wouldn't recommend spectrum aesthetics. I didn't feel comfortable, their costumer service is bad, and I can't even reach them for post op advice .

Thank you dear , and kind of. The nerve pains are still very painful but I manage . The hernia sticking out is what bothers me the most . I feel like if the hernia was never pushed back into my stomach I would like my results more

I think you should put your garment back on. I had lipo in Dec with Ortega and I still wear mine everyday. It really helps with the swelling and lumps. If you don't have an ab board and lipo foam you should get that too from amazon.

I'm so sorry hunni. Have you been to your doctor about the hernia? Can it be removed?
March 9, 2017
I do wear it everyday . I purchased the lipo foam and ab board off amazon as soon as I got out of surgery .

My doctor told me to wait until the swelling goes down a little then she'll check for the hernia . I'm hoping and praying it can be removed . Since the swelling went down , I can see a difference but the hernia is poking out like a sore thumb

Does he offer revision? Did your girlfriend have the same problem? None of my girlfriends know I'm considering liposuction...hmmm...

My girlfriend decided not to do surgery because the surgeon didn't give her a sense of security in her opinion and he said that I'll have to do revision but that costs money

Did they return her money????
