      If I could give 0 stars I would but it won't allow me to. Please don't go to this place. They have 3 locations and *********** works at all three & he used to work in ***** at the business that was killing multiple people and causing death or sepsis. *********** always does uneven lypo and doesn't do the procedure that you paid for. Look on ******** for the secret groups warring people not to go to him. The group is secret because they say his legal team will send paperwork to remove your reviews against him. He's not double board certified and doesn't know what he's doing. If you want good results please find something else. RUN FAST AND FAR AWAY FROM ***********. I paid for a tummy tuck and lypo which he convinced me to get, to get the results I wanted. My stomach wasn't flat but wasn't big. With a tummy tuck and lypo, my stomach definitely should've been flat. After surgery I now have a fupa and a fat stomach. He said it was the ******* best tummy tucks he's ever done. If that's true, I feel horrible for the others. He lied to the BBB saying he told me he couldn't give me what I wanted. SO WHY WOULD I AGREE TO 15K IF I COULDN'T GET A FLAT STOMACH. He also told me he added fat for evenness. SMH.. I look a mess and he also messed up my bellybutton. After reading the ** reviews, I didn't want him touching me. But a long time friend that works at the location promised me that he was good. So I trusted her & allowed him to do the procedure. PLEASE stick with your 1st gut decision. Or else you'll be robbed for your money and go through all that pain for nothing. Just to end up looking a mess. Looking worse than you did before going in. I have to figure out how to fix this mess. STAY AWAY FROM *********** PLEASE OR HE WILL RUIN YOUR BODY & STEAL YOUR MONEY BY NOT PREFORMING THE PROCEDURE PROPERLY!!! He will not give me a refund.
