Found my old receipts when doing a deep clean.


Dr. Duran ruined my stomach and arms!

Dr. Duran has ruined my stomach and arms! I had my surgery performed in February of 2016 when I was in my early 20s young and desperately chasing a curvy "ideal" body type. If you are wondering why I am choosing to write this review now in 2018 it is because I just received a revision liposuction November of 2018 (this month) with a board certified plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills. I paid $10,500 plus (hotel, meds, flight etc) and I am currently in recovery as we speak now. I also want to mention the $10,000 plus I spent in 2017 for a Liposuction revision for my arms alone which resulted in minor improvement. Duran at this point has cost me well over $20,000 in revision surgery and I have all the proof. I have a X-ray from Cipla, receipts, travel receipts etc. Feel free to click on my profile to see for yourself. Dr. Duran was my surgeon....unfortunately
Duran has cost me a lot not only financially but she cost me a lot emotionally. I am drained mentally from multiple surgeries and recovering from my revision procedure. Liposuction revision is not a simple procedure but a extremely complex one that may need multiple revision surgeries and you will never look how you would if it was just done right the first time. Duran failed to do it correctly the first time and this is why am here years later. Duran left me with severe indentation, waviness, bumpiness all over my stomach and arms. Usually I see doctors perform Liposuction under the arms but Duran performed Liposuction on the inside of my arms which caused severe deformations.  
I was Duran's 3rd plastic surgery patient that day in Feb 2016. She performed a BBL, Tummy tuck, BA right before performing a bbl procedure on me. How would I know this? This other patient was my roommate in the recovery house. Was Dr. Duran exhausted before performing my surgery? I don't know, but I hope that was the only reason she ruined my body after surgery and not her lack of skill. 
I did not see Duran for any post op care since she left to Miami on vacation after my procedure. I was a number on what felt like a conveyor belt. I was rushed through my consultation, rushed through my X-rays/physical, rushed through my surgery. Duran at the time may have not spoken more than a few words of English and did not have a translator during our consultation I wasn't even sure if she knew exactly what I was hoping to get out of surgery.  
I will say my silhouette is nice under clothing and my butt has came out with no irregularities but my stomach and arms are ruined ... possibly forever. I constantly get compliments on my body but what no one knows what my body looks like under my clothing . I live with a constant secret and shame. I I am happy to say I lived to tell the story… not everyone who had surgery at Cipla can say the same. Be careful.

Dr. Duran and I had a language barrier since she speaks very little English. This raised concerns for me since I wanted to explain to her exactly what I was looking for. Although, we had a language barrier she didn't seem to want me to explain what I wanted and I felt extremely rushed through the process. The Cipla staff is not very accommodating. Honestly I felt like another number in line not like a human being who was paying money for services. During my follow up visit she had her nurse do my check up while she had was speaking with a friend. My experience with Dr.Duran was poor and unfortunately my results speak for themselves.
