No here to bash; VERY DISAPPOINTED
zulugurlMarch 18, 2016
I'm not here to bash Elite and especially not Dr. Rasi but I'll say just be sure you are clear about your expectations up front, ask if your expectations are realistic and ask them what measures they will take to ensure you get what you request and what if you don't' then what.
I was so excited to get my BBL procedure done. I had to gain 10 lbs to get the fat I needed. I'm 5'3" & weigh 140. After tons of media coverage, I sought out Elite Body Sculpture in Roseville, Ca. The staff and the doctors were absolutely delightful which is why I feel sad that I have to write this review. I had Dr. Rasi. One of the ladies in the office told me to wait for Dr. Hagstrom but I had a trip to take before he was available. Dr. Rasi is a very sweet man.
After the surgery, early on, multiple times, I voiced my concerns noting by butt looked " boxie."
I was told of course, to just give it time. As the weeks passed, I emailed the coordinator who'd helped me.
I didn't feel like I'd gotten 5K worth of plastic surgery let alone 10K. Unfortunately, I had my 3 month check up earlier this month.
Doctor Rasi said he was happy with my results... I wasn't asked if I was happy. I just smiled a little but he and the nurse had to known something was wrong when my reply was "I guess." I was t recontacted so I guess not.
The truth is, I'm heartbroken. 10K is a LOT of money but, it was an investment in me. Now...I don't have my 10k or my cute bubble butt.
My butt does have a little more bubble to it...a very little bit ....but, it still looks rather boxie. I mean a VERY little... I still have back fat, which was my original complaint, to which I was told its "just skin". Still...for 10K...I dunno.
Thank GOD I work out or I don't know what I'd look like.
I will eventually find another doctor and have it done to my satisfaction in the next year.
I'm just really disappointed. I sacraficed a LOT to save up for this procedure and was able to pay for it in full. Looks like I'm back to square one.

Hi I also had the same procedure done at elite but in NYC and I to was left with a boxy butt. I don't see where my $10,000 went I still have back rolls and fat on upper abdomen. Did you ever ask for a revision? I'm still not 2 months post op so im trying to be patient but it's hard especially with summer around the corner.

Hi, no, I never asked for a revision. Did you?? I am seriously thinking about calling them to talk about options if there are any. Sadly, I am not researching a medical spa in Cancun and other international options. Trust I'm doing my homework in regards to international certifications and accredited hospitals and facilities. There is a place called Renew Spa in Cancun, My cousin went there earlier this year and looks STUNNING!!! and less than half of what we've paid.

I did ask for a revision and since I was only 3 months post op the doctor said we needed to wait till after 6 months to discuss my concerns. When I
Pointed to my left over fat he blatantly said he didn't see what I saw. ( insert eye roll here) of course he didn't want to look like he missed spots my next post op appt is in October so I'll continue u
To voice my concerns at that appt as well. Revision should cover all my concerns aside from the lack of butt I have left. I specifically told doc put as much fat as you can because of the resorption I read about. Let's say I don't have a $10 grand butt or stomach
Waste of $$ completely

Hi - did you end up getting a revision? If so, did they charge you for it? I just got lipo done by elite and I only see very minimal results right now...and I can't afford to spend any more money...

That's my concern too, I am looking to get a bbl done but I don't really like their before and after photos, they don't seem as if it was that much result giving for the price that they charge. I was thinking about going to Dr. Salama but I would have to be asleep for his bbl and I wanted to be awake. Would you still recommend Elite or do you think it's not worth the money?

All of the staff is very nice. At one point I was told that if I wasn't satisfied by my final visit, we'd discuss options. To be fair to them, I didn't even to the six month visit. I'm sorry but I'm going to have to say no for me. My butt is rounder from a side view/bigger but it's boxy. Every time I think about the amount of money I spent, I get sick to my stomach. I became somewhat depressed over this experience. I only told my immediate family and my 3 best friends so, I'm not even going to mention how embarrassed I still am.

Oh, I still have the annoying bra fat area and a little of the love handles, I was told those areas weren't fat...but skin. I don't agree. I'm 5'3 and now weigh about 150. I work out but not as much as I use to. :-(
August 16, 2016
I to have the same fat under bra roll and was told it was skin as well. complete BS in my eyes if it were skin wouldn't it have to have been tightened with the laser which was used after the lipo. So annoyed with what I spent still waiting on my 6 month post op

I've been wanting to write about Elite Body since I did my surgery with them in October, 2015. I had full torso and flanks lipo, with breast fat transfer. My stomach and waist look the same as it did before the procedure. Also, only one breast is slightly larger than it was, the other breast shrank later that same night. When I went back for a follow-up about four months after my procedure, I was told the same thing about my stomach, "it's just skin". I was so close to crying while Dr. Rollins told me this. The only other thing he had to say is I should think about having a lower facelift. Seriously? I'm upset with my bad results from my first procedure and you want me to do more. Also, the only follow-up call I ever got from them was the night after surgery.

why was your procedure so expensive? I plan on getting my stomach done and for me the closes elite is in roseville but after reading this im worried....i cant imagine what u are going through. The doctor didn't offer to fix it? do you think your results would be different if you would have waited for the other doctor? just hoping to get some advise from someone who went to this specific place.......
December 22, 2017
im so sorry you had to be disappointed as that. yes, 10k is a lot of money but for an investment within yoself surely you are worth it. as a single mom, hard worker and excited for the results THAT WOULD BE DEVASTATING. wow.......thanks for the heads up AND GOOD LUCK your second go around-at least you will go in more wiser!!

December 22, 2017
