Provider Review
Hi everyone, I refuse to give Abraham Polanco Safadit the title as doctor because a doctor is to do no harm. But what he did to me damaged me permanently. I live on the east coast of the United States and I visited Abraham Polanco Safadit when I was 18 years old in July of 2016 after viewing a woman who had a wonderful experience with him except she took the faja off too early and the implant shifted, she put the faja back on and it returned to normal. So she removed that part of the review after Safadit said it wold damage his practice. But I believed since it returned to normal I was going to have an ok surgery experience. So we communicated by e-mail in English, he told me I would pay $3,800.00 for the surgery with liposuction and would need to stay for 12 days and I stayed at the Ciplaci recovery house which was $90.00 a day. I met Safadit on the second day of me being in the Dominican Republic and I was made aware that he does not speak English but there wold be an interpreter in the room. He was also aware that I do not speak Spanish but I can understand a lot because I can speak a language similar to Spanish, I listen to a lot of Spanish music, and it is a little similar to English. Very easy to understand at least wha it is pertaining to. He had a female assistant in his office while we were discussing everything about surgery. He kept saying to her “tu eres muy sexy” repeatedly, Dominicans have a different culture but I thought it was extremely inappropriate and unprofessional to be saying that during an examination. So I asked him in e-mail and in office what brand implants he would use. He stated euroslilicone and silimed specifically a butt implants brand. He showed me the implant and said he would use 221cc. I thought that was very small because in person it was about the size of a tangerine. They told me that the way they will place the implant will even out and look bigger in my body. I thought well I am already here there is no going back now. I told the doctor I wanted the intra muscularly because it is a safe plane because there are a lot of complications if you place them just under the skin and over the muscle. I also asked for the box to the implants after surgery because I am sentimental and wanted to remember them like a shoe box. A lot of the questions I had the his assistant did not interpret because her English was not the best she did not understand a lot. So after surgery I liked the result because I was swollen. I asked the assistant for the box to the implants and she told me Safadit had thrown it away but they will bring a card for me. I thought that was good enough for the insurance on the implant if it were to rupture I could hopefully get a new pair. Little did I know it was all a scam because he put a 260cc breast implant in me and thats why I never got the box. I paid for the surgery and after that Safadit turned into a different person that was verbally aggressive and unwilling to help me. I had a seroma and my drains kept filling up with fluids. Safadit blamed me for the reason stating I was too active and did not sleep enough. I asked for sleeping medicine but the stuff they had at Ciplaci did not work, I paid for all medications to help me that he recommended. After 1 week he told me I can sit down butt with good posture not on the implant. So I did that and I even rode in the car but made sure with good posture. A lot of stuff was lost in translation and misunderstood because I can only speak English and he only spoke Spanish. Because of my problems after surgery I was not able to leave the Dominican Republic on my scheduled flight and had to pay to take a later flight out of the country. Safadit was so angry with me constantly yelling and shouting because I only brought a few extra dollars with me so I could not afford to keep paying for Ciplaci. I was too afraid to go to a hotel because I am new to this country, first time leaving the USA, and I cant speak Spanish. He did not care he wanted me out. The other patients at Ciplaci told him he needs to make sure I am safe so he allowed for me to stay at Ciplaci a few more days. In my last days the drain ripped out when I was leaving out of the shower. So Safadit just told me to leave get on the plane to America and go, his exact words were whatever happens, happens and it is my responsibility. So long story short I returned to America and the implants were so pointy and you could see them protrude through the skin. It was so embarrassing people could obviously see it was not normal, some close to me even joked and called me Spongebob Trianglepants. 1 year later I applied to be on botched and I made it pretty far but ultimately because of my age and schooling they decided not to have me on the season. So 2 years later I saved up enough money to have the surgery repaired in the USA because I had to fix my confidence, because my butt was a triangle. So I had my surgery on 3/19/2018 I found out Safadit implanted a breast implant in me size 260cc placing the implants extremely high thus damaging the tissues in my butt requiring the surgeon to relocate my muscle to fill the indentation caused by the breast implants. This is when I became furious with Safadit because he blamed me for everything when it. was his negligence, lies, maliciousness, and malpractice that caused for me to have so many problems on my dime. I will add some pictures to back my story as I have no reason to lie on this man. He was the one that lied to me. I would have just taken it as a loss if the surgeon in the United States did not open me up and find a 260cc breast implant. So if you had butt implants in the Dominican Republic with Safadit get in contact with me, lets see what we can do but also get yourself checked out because you most likely have a random sized breast implant inside of you ready to rupture at any moment. But also it shows how dishonest Safadit is and how he will lie to his patients and this dishonesty makes me wonder what other things he is willing to do to his patients just for greed of money. I have contacted him many times informing him that I want my money returned but of course it says that he read it but no response.
