2020 UPDATE (disclaimer: it's long)
I'm back with an update because why not, Mansour Bendago deserves to be exposed for his lack professionalism, empathy and understanding of proportions. It has been three years since my surgery and I STILL look like a deformity, the clinic has never once called to check in on me, because why would they? They've made their money who cares if I look like a wasp/ant like creature They literally ruined my life at the age of 25 and here I am at the age of 28 still struggling. My butt can only fit XL pants and my thighs are like a size small. My hips look like they were drawn on by a 3 year old child, its just hip and no transition to my thigh. This man destroyed my life in my 20's and he DOESN'T even care, he's probably sitting at home enjoying himself as he makes more and more money. I try and try to work out but my butt is about 5 steps ahead of my body so nothing helps, I've spent thousands on cool sculpting and other fat burning machines to help at least bring some fat down. Maybe a little has gone down, but not enough to make me look normal. When I go to these clinics to try and fix my butt the ladies that work there feel sooo bad for me. One lady even cried because she could not imagine her daughter have to deal with this type of struggle. I have reached out to other doctors in Canada and they do not do revisions on other doctors work. I've found some doctors in New York and L.A but they are double the price and in USD, so I am STUCK.
I am constantly harassed about my butt because it looks like a freak of nature, even at work I get asked about it. I am a business graduate and I want to be taken seriously and actually be successful but who will take me seriously when all everyone is doing is staring at my BUTT that doesn't match the rest of my body.
Even if I some how get this fixed i'm pretty sure I have developed some type of body dysmorphia because I can never imagine myself looking like a normal human being. I want to vomit every single time I look in the mirror. Oh I have no even been able to be intimate with anyone for the past 3 years because the thought of someone seeing me naked will probably give me a panic attack and send me to the hospital. I know this sounds dramatic but this is really how I feel, and it sucks waking up feeling like this everyday. Yes I do seek therapy and am on anxiety medication, It is crazy that ONE person in the span of a couple hours RUINED my mental and physical and did not even care... I legit cannot stress how insane that is.
Sorry if i'm being repetitive, I am just expressing how I feel and even then my feelings cannot be expressed in writing.
I have uploaded picture of me before and yes I didn't look amazing but if i could turn back time I would rather look like that, than this deformity I am now. At least I was happy and was able to PURCHASE A PAIR OF PANTS WITHOUT CRYING.
Then I have uploaded pictures of me right after surgery, those look great you cannot see how skinny my legs are so the pics look awesome. I've said before he did an amazing job on my waist and stomach, maybe if i didn't do the fat transfer I would be happier.
Then I had added pictures of me from 2018 and ones from 2020 I took today (sorry for the mess in the pics).
I have also added one of the wish pictures I sent to the clinic and screen shot of the email where I mentioned I was SLIM and wanted PROPORTIONATE results. I have blocked out the employees email obviously. Just to add she was probably the only nice person there and seemed like she actually cared, but I guess what the surgeon says goes.
I just truly do not understand, I was a nice customer I was not rude to anyone, and I was still nice when I asked for my revision. For them to treat me like this is just so sad, I literally think they probably care about the dirt in their parking lot more than me.
I will take accountability as well, I did decide to do this surgery no one forced me into it. I'm just upset and outraged that I see so many beautiful natural proportionate BBLs all the time and I am stuck here buying mens sweat pants. I tell myself that I should have done better research, but he is board certified and has MANY years of experience. He was also so nice and sweet in the beginning and then totally flipped his switch when I asked to make it smaller.
I spent around 14k on this joke of a surgery and the results are as if I went to Miami and got a BBL in someones basement for 3k.
Provider Review
My intention is not to bad mouth anyone, the employees of this clinic were amazing and Dr Bendago was nice in the beginning. At this point I am just so upset and I feel like i have lost a battle. I literally have to live with this for the rest of my life. I spent almost 14k on this surgery and I feel worse about myself now than I did before. I am constantly hiding my body, wearing loose clothes, and I have to photoshop my pictures to make my butt look smaller. This entire experience has given me so much anxiety. I went into this surgery thinking I was going to look so much more different from I do now. I had gotten my BBL in January 2017, I asked for a very natural heart shaped booty. My focus was the lipo and I went ahead with the fat grafting, but I asked for a very natural shape. I am on the skinny side and didn't want a huge butt. As of today my butt is not proportioned to my body. My thighs do not match my butt and it is VERY obvious that i have gotten something done to it. I explained many times that I wanted a natural look, there is nothing natural about my body currently. He put 1000 ccs in one and 950cc’s in the other. Regardless of the size the shape of my butt is very square and boxy. It protrudes so much and has a shelf like shape to it.There is a weird line underneath my butt cheek which has led many people to ask me if I have gotten butt implants. My lipo was amazing at first but now it has gotten a bit lumpy. My waist looks amazing though. I cannot find a single pair of jeans that fit me and if I can squeeze myself into pants I look like I have a diaper butt. I reached out to the clinic and saw Lori telling her about my concerns and she literally brushed me off and said I looked great. She did not listen to any of my concerns or issues. After a couple weeks of still not feeling comfortable about my body I reached out and sent her an email. She never responded. A week after that Alina reached out to me (Alina by the way is the most kind and helpful person at this clinic) and told me to come in and talk to Dr Bendago. I went in and saw Dr Bendago and Alina who were helpful and understood my concerns and said I can go ahead with lipo to help give me the results I wanted if i lost some weight. The day of the surgery I guess I had not lost the weight (losing weight would not change the boxy shape that my butt has ) but the way Dr Bendago handled the situation was the in most insulting, unprofessional, disrespectful manner I have ever experienced. I understand I did not lose the weight they asked me to but there is a way to handle a situation and he did it very poorly. He first asked my if I paid for the surgery and I said no because I was told it was complimentary, he went on saying that I should not get it for free because his staff works hard and It isn’t a proper use of their time. Mind you I am already in my gown with the IV in my hand ready to go into the operating room. Then he went to tell me HE thinks my results look great and that he rarely ever performs liposuction on the buttocks, the entire conversation was very hostile. I am a patient who is unhappy and in extreme tears at this point and as a Doctor he did nothing to comfort me, but only made me feel worse. Never once did I insult his work, I mentioned he did a good job just it was not what I wanted. He then refused to perform the surgery and walked out. Eventually he walked back saying that he will perform the surgery because everyone is upset. There was no way I was going to be operated on under these circumstances. The owner of the clinic then told me to lose weight and then come back for the lipo. I have lost over 11 pounds and now my legs are even Skinner and my butt STILL does not blend into my legs. I would not have written this review if Dr Bendago behaved like a professional, I am honestly traumatized from that experience. At this point I would never want Dr Bendago to perform any kind of surgery on me, the Dr and Patient trust is completely broken. I just really want Toronto Cosmetic Clinic to understand how my life has pretty much been ruined and I am the most insecure I have ever been in my life.
