DO NOT GO TO THIS DOCTOR FOR ANY PROCEDURE!!!!...

DO NOT GO TO THIS DOCTOR FOR ANY PROCEDURE!!!! This person performed liposuction on my abdomen and flanks. As you can see from the before and after photos, he left me deformed. He removed too much fat, removed the fat unevenly, and left me with lumps of fat, scar tissue, and dents. The photos are 8 months post op, 9 months post op, and 11 months post op. The lumps got bigger and skin sagged more at 11 months because I stopped working out due to my depression. After my demand for a refund (so I can pay for all the revision surgery I’m going to need) he wrote “You seem overly concerned about your abdominal results…Often when other problems exist it is not uncommon for patients to transfer their anger, hostilities or anxiety to someone or something else just to side step the real issues. Could that be happening here?” My jaw dropped to the floor (and perhaps yours did too). STAY FAR, FAR AWAY!!!!

Omg

finally doing it...

I went to Hansen. I had a decent result- I am definitely left with some bumps and ripples, but I attributed that to the "process" and my age. Was I wrong? It's been nearly a year and I'm not smooth. I've been told by my massage therapist that I look normal- it just takes time. I have used the fascia blaster as well and I consider it an effing miracle. Please look into it. Regardless of my seemingly better experience with Dr. Hansen, I wholeheartedly agree that his communication with you was total bs. Lame. I gave him a stellar review before, but some things do nag at me. His nurse did try to sell me a hard core chemical peel while I was on the bed awaiting procedure- fully medicated. There is absolutely NO excuse for that. I'm an esthetician, so I knew to say no- even in my haze. I wonder how many people have woken up with a raw face without even knowing what they were signing up for! I did believe he was certified though. Someone here mentioned he was not. Is that true?

Hey hun, I am sorry. It must have been hard for you to post pictures. I wish I had the right words...

UPDATED FROM lumpylipo

HANSEN OFFERED ME A BRIBE OF $3500 TO REMOVE MY NEGATIVE REVIEW FROM REAL SELF

lumpylipoJanuary 27, 2020

This is an update to my post after living with my horrific results from Hansen’s hatchet job during liposuction. I received this unsolicited letter from Hansen which is attached to this post. Not only did he disfigure me, he now seeks to cover it up. He offered a bribe of $3500 to remove my negative review. He asked me to “find it in [my] heart” to remove it. I asked him [again] to “find it in his heart” to pay for a tummy tuck so I would not remain disfigured. My request, of course, went unanswered. Do NOT go near this unethical, unqualified doctor.

I'm so very sorry for your outcome! Is he even a board certified plastic surgeon?

I think you are a hero for leaving a bad review and not being bribed to take it down, you may be literally saving others by sharing your experience.
