Current picture of Dr. Siddharth Bass

$3,950
Just adding a current picture of Dr. Siddharth Bass because he no longer looks like the picture on websites such as Spectrum Aesthetics in Miami Beach, Strax Rejuvenation in Fort Lauderdale, Professional Cosmetic Surgery in Coral Gables which is where I unfortunately had my surgery by him. Who knows where he will be working next as he keeps hopping around. Public please just be aware and do not trust him!! Don't risk your life or health...

Thank you for updating his photo. You should post photos of your journey with his name in the title on YouTube. More people use YouTube for plastic surgery journey info and he knows this because he has built a page there! The problem is, beside skill levels, he views women and especially women of color not worthy. Ladies don't ever forget how many times his actions have confirmed this fact.
I'm so glad I saw this!! I almost booked my BBL with him at Spectrum!
Thank the Lord. I am glad you did. One less that will suffer at his hands. Good luck. Many good surgeons out there.
I inquired about Dr. Chang and received an email from Spectrum with Dr. Bass for a fraction of the price! I got on here to check him out YIKES!!!!
He looks different... He's gained a lot of weight in his face.
VERY DIFFERENT! I saw him in a person and he looks even meaner now
Interesting that u said this because I was planning on doing my surgery with Dr. Chang and they work at the same clinic and when they sent me the email it had both doctors pictures on it and I’m looking at the picture you have here and he looks totally different that’s actually really scary because if you’re not even real about your appearance how can someone trust you with their body
I am glad I have been able to help not only you but many other people who take the time to check reviews. I was appalled when I last met with him and actually for a moment though it was another person. He definitely needs to update his picture. If he has no self confidence, then why would he care for his patients?
I got the same email!!! Did you get your surgery with Dr. Chang? Can I see before and after?

DO NOT GO TO DR. BASS OR STRAX REJUVENATION...HE IS NOW WORKING THERE TOO BESIDES PROFESSIONAL PLASTIC SURGERY IN CORAL GABLES

It seems Dr. Siddharth Bass, though he should be referred to as a butcher, has a habit of admitting his procedure was not performed as it should have been, then he offers to redo/operate again, then backs out on his own offer. Today, 4 years later from my surgery with him, I am still attempting to save enough money to have the surgery he did on me, tummy tuck w/lipo, redone. However, YOU MUST READ THIS.........A couple of weeks ago, Al Auer from Strax Rejuvenation in Broward County Florida, left me a message to please call him back. I did not know who he was so I did not return the call. He called me again and this time I answered. He presented himself as one of the owners of Strax Rejuvenation and was calling me on behalf of Dr. Bass. They had my telephone number, email address, home address and were well aware of my experience with Dr. Bass. I had never contacted Strax Rejuvenation, ever in my life. Anyhow, he was calling me because Dr. Bass is now working at Strax and they had came across my review with Realself and wanted me to come in with a consult with Dr. Bass. Out of curiosity I went to an appointment to meet with the man that has left me depressed and suffering for the last 4 years of my life. He walked in and said "I don't know if you remember me". Of course I remember him, how could I forget. He left me with deformities. Anyhow, he offered to operate on me again or with a co-worker. I scheduled and signed all the paperwork to have surgery on March 14th 2018. 2 days before the scheduled surgery, Al Auer called me and I advised him I was not going to go through with it. I got so sick after meeting with Dr. Bass I ended up going to the hospital that same night with high blood pressure. I have never suffered from high blood pressure!! Al Auer asked me to schedule another appointment with their medical director Dr. Erogul. He said I would feel as If I were speaking to my own father when I met with him. I went for an appointment and met with Erogul. I met with Dr. Erogul for about an hour and he told me everything he was going to do and correct, all that had been done by Dr. Bass. When an assistant came to the room to schedule my surgery, she said Dr. Erogul DID NOT WISH TO GET INVOLVED WITH A PATIENT OF DR. BASS. I was ok with that because his hands were shaking so bad and he did not look capable to be practicing medicine, let alone surgery. I left the office and left a message for Al Auer and Jeff, the other owner of Strax Rejuvenation and whom had personally spoke to me during my appointment with Dr. Bass. When Al called me back, I told him I was dumbfounded as to the purpose of my meeting with Dr. Erogul, and he said Dr. Erogul had decided he would operate on me. Since my first conversation with Al and throughout my appointments, they kept reiterating that all they wanted me to do (prior to the surgery) was remove my initial review of Dr. Bass from the internet. IT IS AMAZING. I would have been putting my life at danger as all Al Auer and Jeff, the owners of Strax Rejuvenation, wanted was for me to remove my reviews. They wanted to patch me up and get going. Obviously, Strax Rejuvenation just wanted to get a positive review because there is not much positive to be read about that center. READ AND BELIEVE THE REVIEWS...DO NOT GO TO DR. SIDDHARTH BASS OR STRAX REJUVENATION!! I am going to be submitting proof of the signed documents for the surgery scheduled for 3/14/18 with Dr. Bass.

Omg I'm sorry to hear your stoey. I recently had lipo and bbl with Dr. Bass last month and my results still looks the same I posted my review on here next thing I know he's calling me and asking me to take it done and would offer a redo I told him no I feel like you watsed my time and money why would I go back to you when you did do it right the first time. I been so depressed after the surgery because I come on her and see how the other girls look after their surgery and I'm looking the same. I hate I went to Dr Bass!!! I pray everything works out for you hun just know you ain't alone!!!!
*didn't
Don't do it!!! He called me almost 4 years later (March 2018). I went in for an appointment and felt so uncomfortable being in front of him that I ended up going to the hospital with high blood pressure. He walked in with a smile on his face asking me did I remember him? Really? He is just so cold blooded. BE AWARE EVERYONE!!! He is now an independent contractor at Strax Rejuvenation. Al Auer and Jeff, the owners of Strax, called me several times offering to have him redo the procedure in exchange for me to remove negative reviews. The public needs to be well aware of how Dr. Siddharth Bass works and obviously the center Strax Rejuvenation. They have so many negative reviews they are looking for prior patients of doctors who work there in order to offer free surgery in exchange for them to remove negative reviews. I am in the process of reopening my case my the Florida Dept. of Health. I have signed paperwork from Strax rejuvenation, and also messages and emails they sent me asking me to come in because it would be for my personal benefit.
I am so sad he has been given the opportunity over and over to continue to destroy human beings. To make matters worse, he now works at Strax Rejuvenation and the owners, Al Auer and Jeff, are calling prior patients with negative reviews and offering them free surgeries in exchange to remove the negative reviews. That says a lot about a center who hires a doctor with this kind of record, then they want to join in and play games. His license should be taken away from them and Strax Rejuvenation should be closed down. A lot of deaths have been reported at that center.
I feel the exact same. Everyone who has seen my results has told me to go to an attorney. Strax did not even have the decency to inform me that I was his last patient LITERALLY!! My surgery was Monday 2nd July, and he was no longer with them when I called there to speak to him on the Thursday 5th, which has wasted even more of my money as I had booked a hotel for a week hoping to do a post op with him. It's a disgrace.
That is what he does. Either Strax got rid of him of because of his history, though Strax is one of the worst places on earth to have procedures performed or Bass has moved on in hopes people loose track of him in order to start someone where no one knows him.
Yup, that's exactly what he did to me. He admitted that he could've done better told me he would re-do the surgery, actually offered me a refund and then last minute they backed out of the agreement.
That is the way he rolls. Cold hearted, uneducated and inexperienced. He thinks its a game. He should not practice plastic/cosmetic surgery as he obviously cannot perform satisfactory surgeries.
I wish i had read this before i went for my so called "bbl" this past Monday at Strax extremely disappointed.
Wish you had read it!! You will not come across a more terrible doctor. Good luck!! Just don't go back to him....not even if it came out bad...your life is more important.
Hi - I really admire you for making it your mission to stop other ladies from the great disappointment that you and I experienced. I didn't want to post anything as I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt of letting my swelling and everything go down. 4 months later I look the same - just more dis-proportioned because of the lack of energy he put in in giving me a more contoured shape. Thankfully I found another surgeon in Clearwater FL, who cleaned up his mess, and I'm so, so, so thankful that he was able to. Also like you said Strax didn't even try to help, they simply stated that due to him being a "contracted" surgeon with them, that it was basically his and my problem. Too much money spent on what should have been an exciting and valuable lifetime gift to myself.

had the mess dr. Bass left me with redone by another plastic surgeon

I had tummy tuck, lipo and dog ear removal done on Feb. 6th, 2015. New doctor did an awesome job because he knew what he was. I am extremely happy though recovering. Needless to say he was horrified at the work Dr. Bass had performed and why he left me with so much scarring. Please anyone who reads this.....stay away from Siddharth Bass and his coworkers from Professional Plastic Surgery. I had to pay $6000 for my surgery because Dr. Bass did not return my money.

Wow. An he did my surgery last year a BBL may 13, 2014. What a mess . He needs his license taken away. He was at vanity Miami in Hialeah fl
Then he was evolution in coral gables and now he's on 40th st called something else what a piece of crap
That seems to be what he does. Move around so that hopefully his victims lose track of him. Maybe we should look into a class action. What do you think? He has many unsatisfied patients.
I had my work done by him at professional plastic surgery. Everyone there of course including dr. Bass could care less about their patients once you pay them.
That place is a nightmare and that dr....omg my heart goes out to you ladies
Was he at vanity when he did his work....I know when I lived in Miami those drs were friggin psychologist in their country come to Miami and practices cosmetic they be doing to much
Yes he was at Vanity . He was a indian dr
OMG!! SMDH
What do you have in mind ?

Count me in if y'all find a lawyer willing to take a class action lawsuit.
I wish there was something we could do together
Mr too, but these doctors are well protected and unless you have life treatning circumstances a lawyer won't take your case cause they won't get rich off of you. If you have any luck with an attorney please let me know.
Me gustaria comunicarme con alguna de estas personas que escribieron esos review. Yo tambien fui victima de ese Dr. hace 7 anos y no he dejado de sufrir de dolores horrible, a pesar de tener que someterme a una segunda operacion mi herida puso ser corregida pero los danos internos estan ahi.
Hola ya para mí hacen 10 de este horror q me tocó vivir, casi me mata, y aún se me abre la eriza y los dolores son terribles sin contar q estuve 6 meses con un hueco enorme en mi barriga donde me cabía una mano. Abogados y canales tv, los dos fui a ver y nadie quiso meterse en problemas porque eso provocaría una demanda. Esas cosas nunca van a cambiar hasta q este señor no maté a alguien. Ya lo veremos en las noticias.
Me estuve que operar con otro doctor 2 veces después que me opero El Dr. Bass para mas o menos corregir lo mejor possible el desastre con el cual me dejo el Dr. Bass. Me costo miles de dólares y todavía sufro de los dolores. Nunca voy a ser igual.
who did your redo?
You guys need to go to Better bussiness beauro and tell the also open a case in court they would remove it so sad!
