WORTH IT$3,800
I went to American Lipo for liposuction of my flanks, and upper and lower abs by Dr. Singer. During the consultation and on the day of surgery, he told me I could expect to lose everything I can pinch. To start, the surgery was very painful. I doubt enough anesthesia was used because I felt pain and burning the entire time. I toughed it out expecting results. That was not the case. I have nothing to show for the thousands of dollars I spent but some ugly scars in my belly button. (see photos attached) When I went back to see Dr. Singer, he rudely dismissed me by saying I needed to lose 50 pounds and recommended a weight loss clinic. If that was the case, why wasn’t it mentioned in my consultation before they took my money? I have made several attempts to correct the situation with American Lipo over the lsat 3 months. They gave me the run-around, scheduling and randomly rescheduling appointments. I had a consultation with another one of their doctors who agreed that Dr. Singer should have taken out more and that I really would benefit from a tummy tuck, not lipo. I came to an agreement with Mack, their office director to do a mini tummy tuck and redo the lipo at a reasonable additional fee. When it was time to schedule the surgery, the addition fee tripled. The entire consultation was spent bargaining with the finesse of a used car salesman as opposed to a medical procedure. I left feeling bullied and cheated by American Lipo. I would strongly warn everyone against using this company. They are only out to get your money and really do not care about their patients once they have it. My results speak for themselves. Take a look at my before and after pictures to see a real depiction of Dr. Singer’s work.

They're all the same. My doc should have overfilled my hips since that is the area where most fat is lost. He didn't. Disappointed!!!

Omg. Am so sorry to see us females continue to get rip off from these doctors. I know exactly what youre saying as i had the same experience. Then it cost me $8,000 to fix the damages from lipo. I ended up getting up a TT. Where am still struggling with swellings 9 months after. Hang in here. Next time you u see that doctor.. spit in his face.

I brought my concerns to the practice director and alc staff and they addressed my concerns to my satisfaction including a reevaluation by one of their other surgeons.

They mislead you. You shouldn't deal with them at all! Hire a lawyer and seek service somewhere else. There are great doctors who are professional and honest. Do not let them perform a tummy tuck on you. This is your body and health. You can get a second opinion from a different doctor regarding a tummy tuck. I had one with Dr. Charlotte Rhee...awesome results!! If you have any questions inbox me. Good luck!

I hate you had this experience. I had smart lipo done on Oct 21, and found my doctor - Dr. Myla Bennett - through American Lipo Centers. I'm not a fan of ALC because of their booking and money-phishing tactics, but my doctor was amazing and my experience has not been sour. She essentially was contracted through ALC (I paid ALC, but there are many surgeons under their umbrella)
I say all this to say it is important to look into the actual doctor you're seeing, as ALC is not the surgeon or work. I hate hate you were in pain! Whenever I started to feel anything I'd tell Dr. Myla and she'd apply more anesthesia. I'm so sorry you felt you had to just grin and bear - cause that pain was no joke.
I hope your body heals well after your trauma!

I did my surgery with him, twice!!' And no results. He is not patient! And he doesn't take the time to make sure it is evenly sculpted. I feel botched
