I have more scars after doing this really painful, time intensive, and expensive procedure. I have a hip dip, I have two hip scars, I have very poorly half excisioned moles, I have a huge widened stretch scar from a place we never discussed needed excision, more assywmtries in cheeks, AND the worst past is the my primary scars of concern didn’t get better. And some lady in his back office is MEAN if you share concerns. This was a massive heartbreaking failure. I cannot change my review but I encourage others to be smart and use caution.

10 month post op update
I did go back to Dr. S who filled my hip as much as he could from the dent, added injections to my cheek scars as well, and tried to correct my mole removals which he offered for free.
Cons:
- one cheek looked to have kept more of the fat than the other leading to facial asymmetry
- one excision I actually didn’t know we were doing did not heal well. It became a stretch scar and looks much more noticeable than whatever was there before. A new insecurity.
- I didn’t see the progress I wanted on my large rolling scar to the extent I’m still hiding my face under my hair and looking for other options.
- the two surgical scars from fat grafting donor sight are noticeable and raised.
Pros:
- my one icepick scar on my temple that was excisioned came out great! Replaced a scar with a less noticeable scar.
- hip dent not fully fixed but better than before!
- cheeks are fuller and more youthful looking.
Overall, I’m not sure if I’d recommend due to the pain, risk, downtime, and cost. I may reach out to Dr. S once more and may update this soon.

Did you ever go back to finish your treatment with the Dr? If so how do you feel your final result with your procedure came out? Just curious
Not satisfied. Would not recommend. Left with more scars then I came in with and less symmetrical.
Also I reached out to Sadove to correct the assymetrical cheeks and offered to pay more and he turned me away. A.I. said my cheek is about 10% bigger than the other now. Not sure why he could not correct. Seems in his wheel house. This has left me searching for another provider unfortunately.

It’s a week shy of 3 months post op. I met with doctor Sadove to see how things are progressing and to decide on next steps.
Areas of Focus:
- hip got a dip from the fat grafting. (Note that most probably won’t make a dip. Mine was under a surgery scar. That is most likely why it dipped.)
- excision of mole made an indent on my cheek. (Moles may be a bit different to excision than most other excisions.)
- left cheek still has rolling scar (pictured)
Overall Summary :
Scars are still softer than before! There are still some areas of concern of which I mentioned above, but Dr. Sadove listened to my concerns patiently and recommended the following:
- hip to be filled from buttock fat
- mole excision indent to be excisioned
- rolling scar to be injected with hyleronic acid to the dermis layer (longer lasting)
I’ll be back in office for the above in 2 months! More updates to come.
