I originally went to get because i was interested in the renuvion for the arms. Our first consultation was over the computer were she quickly assure i was i good candidate and would see results. I thought her answer was to quick so i drove there for a second consultation in person where i ask, what is the worst it could happen, she said maybe a 20% improvement, but nothing bad. She also suggested i do my neck which i had not intended. I had preivios lipo by a wonderful surgeon who had passed away in a recent accident. I went to see her and I assumed because she was a women she would be more attentive to a women's need. By the end of the consultation I had a agreed to renuvion all over my body a bbl. The results were horrible. I couldn't believe it, there where scars all over my body my my neck band where showing, they never had before and the one thing i wanted fix my arms look like i was 80 years old. I tried to stay calm (by the way my mouth was half paralyzed for two months) she keep telling me to do my massage and wait, i did everything she told when I waited 6 months for an improvement when I realized i was going to have to deal with this. I wrote her a letter telling her all I felt and how i hope she would never do that to someone else, I then went to see her she told me she was a board certified surgeon and I had sign a consent taking risks. But I talk to her about all possible risks and none of what happened was mention. She had me do some treatments for my arms at a lower cost at her clinic but after another 6 month I realized she wast not going to make it better. I am still dealing with how deform she left me. She is board certified but she should prhaps be working at an emergency room where people are trying to safe a body part and the cosmetic aspect does not matter, not a as a cosmetic surgeon. Please look someplace else, there are good doctors. I was perhaps not in the right state of mind, it was around covid time, my doctor had died and I trusted what she said.

I am so sorry for your results. I too have terrible results and was never told that I could develop an autoimmune response which has ruined my neck. It is absolutely a nightmare.

She is not a Board certified plastic surgeon. She is board certified as a dermatologist and ophthalmology. I’m sorry you had to go through with it as well. I to went through it and it was summer. Hoping to be perfect by September for my Anniversary and vacation. I to was put in the same situation. Read my post. Something has to be done. She thinks she can get away with it. Make sure to put all of your review in Google, Facebook yelp and as many Avenue you can. The better business hurried and check into the ethical board. Her license should be taken away. She has no compassion

Thank you for posting this. I had lipo done on my thighs and they look like deflated balloons. I should have left my thighs just they way there were thick and fat. I hate that I changed my body just to have the thinner appperence now they look wrinkly and ugly. Please people don't change your body because it can turn out to be the worst decision you ever made.
