Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Ruined my Body, Permanently
Run away. Please. Please save yourself from the experience I went through. Do not trust the Vedas medical team.
I was supposedly the perfect candidate for SmartLipo. I was a healthy weight. I ate clean and exercised regularly. I just had a stubborn lower abdomen pooch I couldn't shake. The nurse I consulted with said that this is exactly the type of situation the SmartLipo procedure was made for. I was so excited.
But it all fell apart IN THE MIDDLE of surgery. During the surgery, after they already started working on me, I was using anesthesia, etc.... the doctor tells me I have a hernia, so I won't achieve the look I want. They won't be able to correct the lower belly issue.
Isn't that what the consultation was supposed to be for?! Why didn't anyone tell me in the week before, or during surgery prep?! I was told IN THE MIDDLE OF SURGERY, while under anesthesia, while they were already doing the procedure. I started freaking out internally. I tried not to panic. I calmed my breathing because I had no choice but to let them finish.
Still, I was hopeful that the procedure would help a little. I followed all the post-care directions to a "t". I even added on the recommended Venus Freeze sessions to "tighten things up". I spent thousands of dollars doing the things they told me to do.
At the 3 month follow-up, my "after" pictures looked worse than my before pictures. I cried. I cried so hard seeing the beautiful body I walked in with next to the one I was left with. I cried and they knew they were in the wrong. They offered me Ozempic. My BMI is a 21. No doctor in their right mind should offer a healthy BMI patient Ozempic.
So, not only did I not get the results, I now weigh more than I did when I walked into the center, even while being even more diligent with my nutrition and fitness, and have three ugly scars on my stomach. My stomach also now has lumpiness that wasn't there before.
I mourn the body that walked into the clinic that day, and wish I had walked away. I would not do this procedure again, and regret it every day.
