I went to Dr Hochstein in Miami for a mommy makeover. Worst decision ever. He left me botched and uneven. But of course he'll say otherwise. When I went in for my follow up and I expressed concern he started at me like I was crazy and came back with the most condescending,hateful tone ever. He had zero care for you after you pay him. He does 15 surgeries a day which is absurd. My nipples are uneven and the size of small dimes. But again. Hell tell you "that's normal": he changes his opinions and stories to fit his need: pleaseeee don't waste your money here

That's terrible free paying so much money. I've had my reservations going to Miami because they see so many patients a day. He left you with dog ears, that's not ok. On the bright side it's a very low thin scar and the sides can definitely be fixed.

Please don't go. I was on the fence about going and made the wrong choice. Ya. Huge dog ears... zero shape. But ya. It's definitely fixable. It could be worse for sure

I'm so sorry that you had a terrible experience. I completely agree with why you're dissatisfied with your results. From what I understand, having dog ears can happen after a tummy tuck but most surgeons will fix it and without attitude. However, it's interesting that your left side not only has the dog ears but the the crease, like a snag in the scar causing it to pull (?). It's so upsetting hearing that he has no compassion or care to validate your concerns and offer to fix it. It's frustrating that so many people pay lots of money, put trust into these "experts", and when they don't deliver they don't take any responsibility and worst they are condescending & arrogant and basically get away with it. I always thought Florida was the place to get surgeries but after reading so many horrifying stories, I would never go. It's like it's a cash grab and mill factory. If you don't mind, would you be ok to post your breast augmentation too? I just had my MM on 8/31 and I can honestly say that I'm grateful my surgeon is the complete opposite. Thank you for having the courage to share your honest experience. This will help others make informed choices when they consider this surgeon. Best wishes on your revision and I can't wait to see your update on the body you deserve. Hugs mama!!!

Hi. Thanks so much your reply. Ya the crease is very unnerving. It's all I see when i look in the mirror: they kept saying "it'll go away it's swelling". Nope. It's absolutely not gone away. I had to fly down there for my follow up ...so when I stood there looking like this:, he stared at me like "what do you want from me?!" Im like "what about my sides? He literally said "what about them?" I almost started to cry. " he said you're swollen" like in the most hateful way. All he had to say was "I see your concerns and if they don't go away I'll be happy to help". But absolutely the opppsite. Miami is a surgerymill...as many surgeries a day is all they care about. Which explains why my surgery was scheduled at 12:30 and I didnt even get started til 3:00. And when you go back... you literally feel like you're being herded. Not to mention. I asked for 500ccs for my boobs and got 620. Aside from the fact I went in with 605's!!!!! He did what he wanted!

Oh sis, I'm so sorry you were treated that way. I mean, your expectation was for him to, at the very least, be a decent human and show some compassion. I hear a lot about surgeries being delayed there too. It's scary that a surgeon would be allowed to perform so many surgeries in a day. And what the hell, he couldn't even get the cc's right. He is a total scam and I wish he could be forced to be held accountable. Again, I sorry for your experience and the good news is, this is all fixable. You will find the right surgeon to help you achieve your body goals. I wish you the very best on your journey ;)

Oh dear ima so sorry about your experience. I have no words to explain how sorry feel for you. all his reviews are so positive though with a huge of following on IG. Wow shocking.I almost went with him for my mommy makeover, however Covid came and I had to cancel my trip. Hope you are now feeling better.
January 30, 2021
Thank you! Ya his reviews are positive because he pays people off to delete them!! He had the audacity to offer me 2,000 to delete mine!!! I declined! It's worth more to me for women to not have to go thru possibly what I did! Think of your canceling as a gift from god. I'm feeling great now...I found an awesome dr in Dallas and he repaired everything jan 5

Wtf?? He makes nipples small because HE finds them attractive? Since when did surgery become about him when it's not even his body? God this doctor is self centered. Sorry you went through this

Revised with new Dr in Dallas

So after Hochstein botched me I went to a bad ass Dr in Dallas. He fixed me from my botched boobs to my entire mid section. The horrible pic you see is from Leonard Hochstein in Miami and the beautiful pic is Dr Philip Dawue in Dallas at Lemmon ave plastic surgery
