They Just Want Your Money
Recently had cosmetic surgery. I was only looking to get a (BBL) Brazilian butt lift with fat transfer. I'm a very petite woman already (108lbs) just never had a butt. Dr. Mowlavi talked me into doing all this other stuff like a mini tummy tuck for loose skin, I didn't have a lot of loose skin and have pictures to prove it. He said it would be the size of a c-section scar 4-6 inches. I woke up to an incision from hip to hip. His office said recovery is quicker with his vaser lipo and renuvion techniques. This is by far the worst pain and recovery ever. I would never recommend this for anyone! They didn't have much to do with me after they got my money ($25k not including stay and airfare and 3days extra for a nurse because I couldn't get in and out of bed. For total of 30k)
I went in everyday for first week for massages. Dr. Mowlavi only saw me the day after surgery for 2 mins to look at his work. I tried to set up a post op a week after because I was very unhappy with results. He knew of my disappointment because my massage therapist told him. He didn't come to the office for our appointment time. So I rescheduled for the next day at 3pm for video chat. Again 3pm came and no dr. We called his office several times and they said he was with other consultations and would call me. We waited until 5:30pm dr never called in, and then the office was closed. I was beyond furious this is 2 appt he's missed and not a single call from anyone in the office to reschedule or anything. So I called Claudia and she acted like he'd get back to me and she'd be in it first thing. She's a huge liar, she's never had this surgery done and tells all the new clients how you could hop on a plane in a week no problem. So Instead the next day I got an email from their assistant mimi with my before and after video and said if I had any questions to email them. That was last week on Feb 4th. I have yet to have a post op appt or even a scheduled appt with dr. He doesn't care and has completely disregarded me as a patient. Now I'm still in tons of pain, my swelling will not subside and I have to go to drs to have my stomach drained of the fluid because it's moving like a waterbed which is called a seroma. It's been a nightmare. His office has done nothing but lie and avoid me. I was told he does this with all his patients. I'm still laid up in bed and I have children and a job I can't do.
Here is a pic of my supposed small c-section scar I have to live with.
Pay attention and do NOT sign the arbitration agreement clause. You legally don't have too!
Notice that Dr. MOWLAVI never post before and healed after results.
