After researching I decided to have an arm lift...

After researching I decided to have an arm lift with Dr Nykiel. My results were horrible but was rest assured that I needed to give myself plenty time to heal to see final results. My results did not get better and Dr said he would fix it free of charge once I wait about 8-12 months. I waited and while that happened we also talked About a tummy tuck. During the tummy tuck he cut me open and stopped surgery when he noticed a hernia. He stapled me up and said once I get that fixed he could then finish the procedure. He did not refund me.

I then tried to schedule the arm lift revision so he could fix it and he wanted to charge me the OR fees of about 3k then when I was ready to schedule a day he then said 3,500 because I wasn't going to have it on conjunction of another procedure .At this point I no longer trusted him, I spent over 14k and didn't get anything done, he just left me with bad scars and a lot of skin that I'm having another Dr fix.

Appears like a good Dr at first but will only take your money and not give you good results nor fix them.
