If I keep this oath faithfully, may I enjoy my life and practice my art, respected by all humanity and in all times; but if I swerve from it or violate it, may the reverse be my life.
Above is a portion of the Hippocratic oath that every doctor takes once they become physicians... apparently Dr. LaGrasso doesn't feel that this applies to himself...


I was refered to Doctor Jeffrey LaGrasso from the Sleek MedSpa location in Boca Raton. After meeting with Dr. LaGrasso and hearing of his techniques and experiences in the field I decided to trust him to preform my first surgery in April of 2010. That surgery went well. I then decided to trust him and Sleek medspa with a much more invasive surgery... a breast lift and implant. Dr. LaGrasso assured my husband and myself that he was confident that he could achieve the results I wanted and that all would go well. We decided to move forward with my surgery. I went in for Surgery around November 2011. The surgery seemed to go well at first. On day three I was experiencing a lot of pain and puss around my bandages. I went to Hollywood and saw the doctor and he said I must be experiencing an allergy to the adhesive in the tape. I also noticed that my areolas were much differently shaped. Dr. LaGrasso assured me that all would be fine once I healed. After 3 months of waiting to heal I was not only left with 3/4 inch wide vertical scars on each breast, but I also still had very uneven egg shaped areolas and my right breast sat approximately 2.5 inches higher than my left. After going round and round with the staff and with Dr. LaGrasso, they decided to redo my surgery to correct the few issues that I had. I was however responsible for the fee of anesthesia again ($600) I went back in for a correction in May 2012. Dr. LaGrasso now added a secondary scar below each of my breasts (aprox. 4inches on under each). I was hopefully that all had been resolved this time... however I soon found out that it was not. As I sit here today my surgery is even more botched than before. I now have additional scars and I still have very uneven breasts. After a few moths I went back to Dr. LaGrasso and Sleek Medspa and sat with Jessica and my husband. I showed them my breasts and Dr. LaGrasso agreed that the surgery still wasn’t correct. He claimed I needed an additional. I asked him to refer me to another surgeon for a second opinion of what needed to be done to correct it. He refered me to Dr. Mark Pinsky, in Palm Beach Gardens, FL - Closer to my home. I went to Dr. Pinsky, paid the $50 office visit fee and showed him my horror. Needless to say he obviously told me I need yet another surgery to correct what Dr. LaGrasso attempted to do twice. Dr. Pinsky told me a lot about the unnecessary scars that Dr. LaGrasso had created on me and he also explained what was wrong as he photoed my breasts. He then showed me how completely off both of my breasts are in a computer program, my nipples aren't centered, they are two different shapes, they should’ve been made smaller, I have major scaring and most importantly my right breast is 1.5 inches higher than my left and floats around whenever I lay down causing me a huge PAIN. Dr. Pinsky priced my corrective surgery at nearly $9000.00. I left MANY, MANY messages for Dr. Lagrasso. All which were never ever returned. I called his personal cell phone 2x and on the second message he called me back and told me he wasn't with Sleek because they weren't paying him and that he had spoken with Dr. Pinsky regarding my breasts and he told me he would like to be present during surgery (he called it "scrub-in".)
Can you believe that Dr. LaGrasso actually wanted to LEARN from my new surgeon????

To date Dr. LaGrasso still claims hes not responsible. He claims that my fight should be with Sleek Medspa... but Sleek didn't do my surgery - DR. LAGRASSO DID!

I am sorry to read your surgery went so wrong! I truly wish you the best on your corrective surgery! Thank you for posting your story. Surgeons should take responsibility for their mistakes not ignore the problem. A woman should have as close as possible to what she desires and be able to be happy with results not emotionally or physically scarred! I hope your able to resolve some kind of arrangement with the doctor who botched your surgery, he should be the one to pay for your redo! Best wishes!
Thank you @breezebaby ! I completely agree. Doctors take an oath to do no harm.. This man has made it next to impossible to get my medical records and could careless about the botch job he gave me. My new surgeon Dr. Villar says that a complete correction isn't even possible because of the poor job LaGrasso did. He didn't remove enough skin and misplaced my nipple so to try to get symmetry between both nipples will never be 100%. I'm just a young mother that just wanted to look a little better after breast feeding and now I'm in constant pain and I'm in constant pain.
have you considered putting a law suit on him?? to me this is purely his fault! I would do a complaint to the American board of plastic surgery against him! they should be able to tell you how to sue him. I am glad you found a new doctor, I hope he will be able to help you! I hate when doctors do unessary things just to get money! my right nipple is lower than my left ,but it was like that before I got implants. Doctor Joseph said he could fix it for me during surgery but he didn't suggest it because it could cause problems. It doesn't bother me so i'm glad I didn't do it. I completely understand wanting to feel pretty and sexy. I mean you spend a lot of money and want a nice result not pain and misery! I would definatly find out what you can do to have that so called doctor dicreditted and loose his medical licence. ( sorry I cant spell)! check out the better business burue BBB they might help you also. I am not sure but I think he did you wrong and should make it right!!
my doctor is in Orlando (winter park) his name is Doctor Brian P. Joseph at Park Avenue plastic Surgery. His consultations are free and he has done a lot of corrective surgery. It probably wouldn't hurt to check out a couple more doctors to see if they can help you! He is a very honest person and based on my personal experience he told me exactly what to expect from where I started with my boobies ..I had assymentry and volume assymentry as well . my left nipple was normal but my right is lower...so I have the same boobs but bigger. As I said he will do his best to make his clients have realistic expectations and really nice results. Good Luck!!
agree, he may be a surgeon but not a body sculpter, horrible
