Butt Sagging Like a Grandma - Sugar Land, TX

ORIGINAL POST

Dr Nguyen mislead me to think that butt implants...

Dr Nguyen mislead me to think that butt implants would make my butt look lifted. I asked him over and over if he was sure it wouldn't sag, since it was over the muscle. He said that the muscle fascia would keep it from sagging. The truth is he doesn't have the knowledge to putt butt implants under the muscle. He refuses to do anything to fix it and refuses to acknowledge that my results are not desirable. He has offered to remove them, but that would leave me looking worse because my skin got stretched out. I wasted $6000. Now I'll have to save up another $6000 and find a more experienced Dr to fix this mess. Don't even mention the recovery time, I was suffering and draining for 3 months. He just wants money and if he messes you up, he won't try to fix it, he will just try to get rid of you. I was told not to come back anymore for follow ups. My modeling career is pretty much ruined.

What a rotten Dr. Everyone reads this site before consulting a plastic surgeon so his career is toast! He won't have to worry about ANY follow up visits from anyone!

How can you say that about a 'doc that you don't have any 'xperience with? Have you personally had a meetin' with him and had surgery done from him? Sit down poser...

They are saying it because if your negative review you gave the doctor on this site. This site has many members including the doctors so they are bound to come across your negativity on the doctor...whose the poser now! Ypur trying to back track on what you said and then come after ppl for making comments out of concern as to what you claim you went through...I think your bogus for ruining the doctors street credit.

Why did you give this doctor 5 stars then?

They saw what I put up here and called me and I was hoping there was some way he could help me perk it up... I should mention he did a great nose job for me. I think if someone was built differently, they might get a better result with butt implants, but I'm built with a long booty in the first place, and I'm trying to get a perky booty. : / If I could gain weight I'd do fat grafting instead. I'm not mad at him anymore, I just don't like the implants and I wish I would've went under the muscle or could gain enough weight for fat grafting.

HOW would they see what you "put up here"...they run a business, they don't go snoopin' 'round on the 'net tryin' to uncover dirt all day. This site is kinda hard to find anyways, even if your not using Windows 95' like me, jk. They probably would think you don't mean it anyways, 'cuz lots of people come on here and say stuff without a filter like on Facebook. Honestly, a negative rating on HERE wouldn't even prevent me from seein' a plastic surgeon anyways, lots o' people don't even know this site exists. So I take it you're not goin' to ever see Dr. Nguyen again? He did my nose and my cheek implants, I love my nose, but he agreed with me when I said I thought the implants were "too small". He says he will re-do them in September or somethin' and I won't have to pay the surgeons fees, just the O.R.....fees.

I am writing with the permission of this patient to comment and clarify some comments made. First, I am truly sorry that my patient is not satisfied with the cosmetic outcome of her surgery. I take this very seriously. However, I have posted the before and after photo to demonstrate that her buttocks are fuller, lifted, perkier, and appropriately contoured. I truly cannot see where I can improve on the results. The patient is a very fit woman so fat grafting to the buttocks was not an option. We discussed in detail the option of using an implant and all of the risks prior to surgery. She had a safe surgery and all standards of care have been met or surpassed. As far as office visits and follow up, I have made my office extremely available to Ms. B. We have met on 19 office visits to discuss the surgery. I give all my surgery patients my cell phone number, so I am always available to my surgery patients at all times for any concerns as I have been for Ms. B. Finally, the reason why I did not offer to do any more surgery on this patient's buttocks is that there is not any other surgery that I feel I can perform safely that would further improve her outcome. I am always looking out for the safety of patients at all times. I think this lovely young woman has great physical attributes. Sometimes less is more when it comes to cosmetic surgery. I am still always available and in communication with Ms. B. Dr. Nguyen

There is no way I have been there 19 times to discuss the surgery. The only reason I had the surgery is because I was told it would make my butt look more lifted. Dr Nguyen physically lifted my butt up when he said it would be more lifted. When I was choosing a size I placed the implant in a much higher position on my body because I never envisioned it going to the bottom of my butt. I asked him before the surgery if it would sag and he said no. I have 4 docs saying I have ptosis and I have to go under the muscle. My time and money was wasted. I was lied to about what results I could expect. I was also told it would feel like well toned muscle and it feels like rocks. I can't even run anymore because it bounces up and down. Dr Nguyen told me why don't I go to another surgeon to get it put under the muscle? Dr Nguyen claims that my butt looks good, and that tells me that he doesn't know what a butt is supposed to look like. If this is a good result then why would I rather have my butt back to how it was before?
March 5, 2014
Dr Nguyen you keep lying. If I was in your office 19 times you know it's because I went to you for a nose job and fillers etc. I have been in your office 2 times to complain about the results of my butt. It's like talking to a brick wall because you have no sympathy. I'm sharing my experience to try to help someone make an informed decision. You are lying when you say I was aware of the risks because you flat out told me it was impossible for it to sag because it was under the fascia. I was aware of the possibility of a seroma and my stitches splitting, which you may be counting those office visits into your 19 times you've seen me. And I didn't complain about the stitches splitting or the seroma because I was aware of those risks. I'm complaining about the sagging because I did my research and saw that another plastic surgeon didn't recommend going over the muscle, so I asked you if it was possible for it to sag and you told me no. I trusted you! If you told me there was a possibility I was ready to back out of the surgery. You never told me there was a possibility of that happening. You said it was impossible because you are putting it under the fascia and not just under the skin. Honestly I think you owe me a refund because you wasted my time and money promising me results that you couldn't deliver. And you have no sympathy for my situation. Imagine you went to a doctor to get something improved and you asked the doctor if you might be deformed and were told no and trusted the doc then you ended up being deformed and the doc said you look great and you were aware of the risks, but many other docs agree that you were deformed. I had a person tell me that I should tell you I didn't pay to have a grandma butt. I have been spending tons of money and time on working out and then you want to take credit for the after photo, but look at how my results were before I started obsessively working out. And no matter how much I work out I can never completely lift up sagging implants. I'm not an unreasonable person, but I don't expect to be lied to by my doctor.

Any dr would know that if u place a heavy implant on top of the muscle under the fat that eventually it WILL sag because there is nothing holding the implant securely. Shame on u for preforming these surgeries incorrectly. It's lazy and unprofessional of you. You should give her half or all her money back. She clearly is upset and very unhappy and she did not get the results u promised.
January 30, 2015
I totally agree! Thanks :)

if those two pictures are the photos of her result them I think that Dr. Nguyen is a brilliant plastic surgeon. Brookcecilla you probably were the one who wanted and insisted on super duper big implants. You had to think and analyze that bigger is not always better.
January 31, 2015
Lol. Ok new improved me aka dr Nguyen aka dr nguyens family member aka dr nguyens staff member. So obvi but come on! This is a site for women to support each other and give advice. Not attack eachother when one is down. Shame on you dr Nguyen. Nice try tho but this is the oldest trick in the book.
January 31, 2015
I never insisted on super saggy hard as a rock implants and Dr Nguyen agreed on the sizing. We chose the 2nd from the smallest during the fitting because the edges lined up best with my body. I wasn't shown computer generated before and afters and I wasnt even shown that the implant was going to only fill out the bottom of my butt and not the top. Obviously if I would have known what it was going to look like then I wouldn't have gone through with the surgery. You seem pretty offensive to be a random impartial person.
February 16, 2015
Doctor, those photos of her ass are wonderful. She looked great before and then Amazing after. I wish you could do the same for my Mrs. Don't let her insanity get you down. Let the pictures determine whether or not your work is bond. Look at other commenters, don't let her BDD get you down, your work is amazing.
February 16, 2015
I'm so tired of Dr Nguyen's staff members commenting, please stop.
February 16, 2015
So you are saying Dr Cortez has dysmorphic disorder? He agreed that it needed to go up an inch. Dr Stanton, has dysmorphic disorder too since he actually corrected it? My mom and all my family and friends and people at my gym and the med spa I go to and random people at the pool have dysmorphic disorder too? No! Obviously it didn't look good. I'm thankful that it looks so much better now that I got it revised.
February 16, 2015
@brookcecilia just ignore them. But if they are just going by the pics then they are insensitive as they have no idea what it looked like in person or what it felt like in person. Dr Nguyen needs to not be lazy when it comes to butt implants and learn how to do it right before he continues to disfigure other women. Thank god for dr Stanton who knows how to correct lazy work like dr nguyens. Stay strong gf.
February 16, 2015
hey brooke, I'm not on the staff. Not shitting you. I was looking at results and found you and felt motivated to post as, despite my ribbing of you, you look great and I don't see the problem. Can you post other photos of before and afters so we can see what was so bad. You look great, that is why people think you have BDD.

Brookcevcilia I would just sue his butt I can't believe that he has the audacity to even responding with a post on here. If he knew you were not happy he should of offered a revision with no charge. These surgeons want to charge for revisions instead of trying to correct what they did wrong. I would also report him to their boards.

Carlitoswife--Dr. Nguyen did my cheek implants, I wasn't happy with the results, he offered to do a revision without payin' the plastic surgery fees, which is good news for me 'cause I'm a cheap azz....lol. But all jokes aside, he's a good doctor and he cares about his patients, and him comin' on here to address the issue means that he is jus' bein' proffessional 'bout it. And I'm not one of "Dr. Nguyens staff" either (I'm a dude), so don't try and dismiss me and say I'm not an actual patient, 'cause I am.....and....he is tryin' to make things right for me. He told me personally that he cares more about making his patients happy and less about takin' their tender.

Ok so why are you on here writing on your negative experience of being mislead by the doctor and not expect for those reading it not to respond in a negative way out of concern for you in reference to the information you put out here. I'm not dismissing anything or anyone and don't care who you are...whether you are staff or actual patient. Don't come on here and bash someone calling yourself sharing...then turn around and say that the doctor cares. You put the doctor out there based on ypu being emotional and now you want to clean it up. Your review being negative is damaging to the doctors reputation...so make up your mind is he any good or not?

I was jus' puttin' my two sense out there. I don't think the creator of this review intended it for it to blow up like this, honestly I think she might be a lil' embarrassed, you know what I'm sayin'? That's why she created a new account...Because people come on here and vent and rant and rave and use it as an outlet to express their frustrations not knowin' that the doctors or their staff are goin' to see it. I've seen it happen alot, not only here but on Facebook as well. But on Facebook, there is a delete button. She even stated in a previous post that she was being too dramatic and she wasn't mad at the doctor and said stuff that she didn't mean only to find out that she couldn't delete it. :-/

It looks like the butt of a 20 year old Colombiana. I honestly think you need to look into something called Body Dysmorphic Disorder. Especially since you mentioned being depressed and considered suicide. Depression runs hand in hand with BDD.
February 4, 2015
I can see very clearly, I don't have a disorder. I just got results that did not look or feel natural. I got it fixed and I look waaay better.
February 11, 2015
Amazing how people can comment who have had zero personal experience of butt implants. They have to go under the muscle or else they will sag and shift. You should have had a free revision. Problem is your surgeon doesnt know how. At least you have your health and are not disfiguired permanently. Losing money is easy by comparison to the butchered ops some poor hapless patients have had to endure.

I've been doing lots of research on RealSelf and do not ever comment, but I feel the need to leave a comment here. The truth is, you sound like you are obsessed with looking "perfect". Your results clearly look amazing. You must obviously have a low self esteem and is very self conscious. You should seek therapy for sure, if you once thought about even taking your life. Your comments sound PSYCHO. Your after photos are 10x better than your before. I hope you find peace within yourself. Good Luck with everything.
February 4, 2015
You would never understand unless you've been through it and I didn't post photos that show how bad it really started to sag. It also pressed my sciatic nerve and I wasn't able to run. Now that I got it out I feel much better.
