* Liposuctioned Banana roll/butt crease without consent, causing butt drop and future expensive revision.
* Office did not initially take care to provide helpful information for recovery concerns, specifically DVT concerns, which can be life threatening.
*Wait times before surgery are 2-3 hours, because of over booking. Wait times for consults and follow ups are also several hour waits. Doctor does not usually see you for follow ups, he prioritizes incoming consults that will be paying.
*Office is chaotic, disorganized, over scheduled, miscommunications are highly likely. Doctor forgot what was planned during consult, proceeded to liposuction areas that are considered "no-go" zones(banana roll), while the areas I had asked to be prioritized still look nearly the same. The worst part is that he lipo'd the area under the butt, which is never recommended, as it causes complications that can't always be fixed. Additionally, I was left with broken spider veins all over my legs, which will require a costly procedure to remove.
I would not recommend this doctor, the over booking of patients leads to many devastating and potentially dangerous mistakes.

My surgeon did what ever he want to also. It's beyond violating. Took fat from places on my body that are quite disturbing to me. Hope you find someone to help fix the damage. And thank you for posting this because Mendieta was on my list for revision

What happens when you are not ok with your results? I am absolutely deviated by the idea that I will look worse walking out than I did walking in. Do they offer to fix it or give some of your money back?

Have you contacted their office. Hopefully they do a revision free of charge

Wow. Are you sure he even reinjected any fat??? This is not Ok. You were good canvas to start with, and he had all the experience to make you even better.. this is infuriating. How dare they make us sign informed consent and do whatever they want.

Dents by Mendieta

Naturalisthegoal
Dents are starting to appear as more swelling subsides - still having pain, have appointments scheduled with vein/artery specialists - crying all day everyday
