Dr. Sydney Coleman, founder of Lipostructure has more than 50 complaints against him that have been filed with the DOH in NYC. This doctor has no business calling himself the founder of anything much less fat transfer. His fat grafts do not last at all and he harvests fat from areas without the patients' consent and leaves them with new problem areas. He took an oath to protect the patient, but he destroys their lives. He charges exuberant prices and you end up disfigured. Please do not go to him. You will be making the biggest mistake of your life. I made the mistake and have to live with the consequences daily. He has no conscience nor regard for his actions.
Buyer Beware!
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer's satisfaction.
Thank you for your kind words ; ) I do look great. I had reconstructive work done and look better now than I have ever looked...before my accident. That's pretty impressive. As for posting pictures I would be uncomfortable having you see what I look like as you are evidently missing a player. Furthermore if I did post my beautiful results you would never be satisfied that they are genuine because it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that anyone could say they went to Dr. Coleman and provide any pictures and say they are post surgery and actually be completely full of it...like you...
Not only do you seem totally loco you also seem to be a major hater. Haters don't have a lot of credibility with reasonable people. I read all your bs rants about Dr. Coleman before I ever contacted his office. That's how credible I find you. Say you for a reason.
Dearest Naloha,
You are so full of crap!
If you look so much improved from all your "surgeries" then why the hell don't you post your gorgeous face here for all to admire? I simply do not believe you when you say you look "beautiful" after having had "extensive" surgeries. I am sure you look like heck! You also talk in a faky way that almost sounds like you work for Coleman and are trying to dilute the complaints on this web-site with your cosmetic surgery ### talk. Honestly, I feel like I am sitting in a consultation in Coleman's office when I listen to you.
Like most you are all talk and no do. I look on Coleman's website and am not impressed. He doesn't do anything great and it is clear from this web-site that he has ruined many lives in exchange for whatever mediocre work he has done. He is a pathetic con-man and I doubt anything that he claims is true!
What ever happaned to Andy11778? she was so upset with the fat grafting overfill in her face, last I heard she attempted to get it out with a combined facelift but
ended up with even more swelling afterwards at 6 months post? I sure hope she is okay .Has anyone heard from her?
Poor Heidi she is in for quite a ride.
The complaints about Dr. Coleman posted here are 180 degrees from anything I have experienced as a Dr. Coleman patient. For me he has been an absolutely amazing doctor..a Miracle Worker. I can't believe these complaints as they are so opposite of my surgical outcomes and impression of this wonderful doctor.
To me he is an angel to have been motivated to develop a technique for fat grafting that has helped so many accident victims repair injuries that otherwise would be difficult if not impossible to repair given other means of reconstructive surgery. I am such a person and he has given me my face back and unbelievably I look better than before I was injured. He has made me beautiful. I am thrilled with his work, and him. He's the best.
Dr. Coleman is extremely caring, thorough in pre operative conversations ( I knew everything he was going to do and he did nothing we didn't specifically agree upon and both initial ). His work speaks for itself, I have never looked better.
As for healing time everyone is different but I had extensive work done and looked swollen for not even two weeks which was nothing considering everything I had done. His office staff is wonderful as well. Everyone in his office: nurses, patient coordinator, secretary/front desk person, anesthetist, they are all so kind and incredibly competent. It's the most professional and caring doctor's office experience one could possibly imagine. The outcome of choosing Dr. Coleman for my reconstructive work was everything I had hoped for and way better.
Don't forget that you are a hero too by posting your horrible experience with this quack doctor. Plastic surgery is very common and popular in the United States and you have opened up your heary to let the public beware of this quack. I am sure there are a lot more people that are victims of super botched plastic surgeries.
I read articles that doctos often used their patients without their informed consent to do plastic surgeries. This is horrible. You paid them to do work that they don't have the talents or skills to do. If this doctor's experiment comes out nice, then he will post your pictures on his website to help promote his business.
I agreed with this posting a zillion times.
It's time that the public know all about bad doctors. They want fancy cars, big fancy houses and live the life style of being rich at the expensse of their patients. I don't get paid if I don't perform my work properly and why should doctors' get paid for botched comestic surgeries? That is a lot of money. We need more accountability from these doctors. We need to weed them out. There is way too many doctors in the United States.
poor Heidi Montag her face looks so stiff now!
I have seen this question posed before but it doesn't appear to have been answered. For all of us suffering from the negative consequences of fat injections, has anyone found a surgeon to remove the fat grafts or found a way to improve the look?
Since it appears that many of the writers have been suffering for a long time, I would greatly appreciate your sharing what you have learned about improving the appearance of the grafts.
how am I clearly bored with life? please explain in great detail!
I see damage and everything but I do not know what else.
I definately want to minimize and why shouldn't I? Why should I wish that these women have been deformed permanently? I had just hoped that they would post more pictures and that their situations might have improved.
I can clearly tell that the before photos are cropped photos taken from a greater distance than the afters but could appear to be taken at a similar distance to some because they have been cropped.
I also really wish they would date the photos so we could know how long after the surgery they were taken.
I know the how they have been through a terrible experience but I just want to see more photos and get dates. the more knowledge we have the better.
Dear Corey,
You certainly are a women of courage, conviction, and integrity! Anyone that would minimize your pain and the experience you endured obviously does not possess the same powerful inner qualities that you were gifted with. Often people have to walk in anothers shoes before they can fully understand the depth of anothers experience. So sad that those that haven't the depth of experience speak ignorantly and in a truely uninformed and unenlighted truth. Bravo to YOU Corey keep up the good fight!
Oh I think you misunderstood me. You are saying I should crop the before picture and then you think that I think they will look like the afters. No. I think that the befores are taken from far away and are being cropped. Then YOU are comparing them to after pictures that are taken close up. And I know very well there are two women but they both seam to be doing the same thing!
I am not sure what you mean. I think that if you want to demonstrate what you mean then YOU should post the photos so we can know what you mean. I really hope you will because otherwise I will never know.
Anyway, a picture is two-dimensional and it matters not how far away you take a picture of it. It is in no way comparable to the effect that you get from photographing a real person.
It will always have the same proportions. However, a person is three-dimensional and so they can have many different proportions when depicted in a two-dimensional photograph.
correction: doctors in Italy are quaks too (esp. plastic surgeons)
Ducky: please post you proliferation areas before and after!
You can black out your eyes to hide your identity. Just show the parts that have grown. and please show the whole picture. NOT A CROPPED PICTURE!
It is so easy to take one picture from far away and then crop it and compare to one taken close up (as the lady that posts here has already done) to make it seam like proportions have changed dramatically or even slightly.
Most plastic surgeons and Doctors in Brazil are probably quacks. Who cares what they say or think!
I do not beleive you. show pics if you have proliferation. So far others have just shown pictures that are taken close up to make lips look huge.
I think I am among the rare handful of patients who have had the fat/stem cell proliferation problem. I dont know where to turn with this, can those who also had this happen or suspect it please contact me .
This really feels like a is a twilight zone movie and I am the freak.I cant believe the huge enormous toll having a fat graft
has taken on my life!Truley my biggest regret and biggest mistake.I was mortified to here doctors in Italy and Brazil tell me that the fat grafts can come back after removal.
Whoever wrote "give up COREY YOU ARE WIERD", I have this message:
She didn't write the recent comments and has stopped writing for some reason. I am the one who wrote them. And I am not weird for spotting a con man who looks ugly and gay, and has no right to judge or alter anyone's appearance... since he is an UGLY ALIEN FACED OLD WRINKLED GAY LOOKING DRIED-UP DOCTOR.
what happened to Corey? Where is she? I worry what has happened to her! if you are out there, corey, please let us know you are o.k.
Hi, My heart goes out to everyone of botched comestic plastic surgeries. We need to make doctor's more accountable especially those that are using people without their consent to do experimental plastic surgeries.
what do some of you think the percentage of botched comestic plastic surgeries is? I think it is most like 70%. What do you think? Some botched surgeries can be fix while other cannot. The type of botched surgeries that leave scars, indentations and super pucker marks on faces are the most damaging.
Why is it that doctors can mutialated people's faces and bodies and get away with it? We need to lobby for a new law to protect patient's right. Do you know most patients are given consent forms to sign only minutes before surgery? They take your money like two or one week in advance before surgery, then they make you sign something right before surgery. The consent form is usally in very fine print with many l egal wording that most people don't even know what it means. We as the public need better accountability from doctors. They need to give consent form to patients a week or two before surgery and also before collecting patient's fees.
give up COREY YOU ARE WIERD
Is Frank Ryan gay? he sure looks like one. No wonder he tried to make Heidi look like a transvestite.
he is incredibly ugly yet giving suckers advice on looks! he looks like a bony alien faced creep and he hides behind his charity to gain trust from his victims, no doubt.
wow did you see Heidi Montag's strange mask on Access Hollywood? It is just two months after surgery so lets hope it all goes away! This is a great example of how ugly fat grafting is and how it is being abused to make money off people with no need for any fat in the first place. The doctor ripped her off for 30, 000 just to inject her with her own fluids and liposuctioned fat. How discusting that this ugly man, Dr. Frank Ryan, would take advantage of someone who depended on her looks in her profession and must have sincerely believed him when he claimed he would improve on her appearance.
Last night this plastic surgery woman on a TV show called The Insider was in the guineas book of world records for having the most plastic surgery done. She was so strange looking and her entire face was all messed up. yet she said that people had plastic surgery because they like the results and she said that she liked her results! Looks like denial is a likely side-effect of plastic surgery! her brows were going every which way and she looked like so obviously mutilated, yet she had the nerve to say that the actress Heidi Montage had an uneven face before she recently too was mutilated! Now she looks like an alien!
Coleman, wherever you are. You are such a fraud. You look old so what makes you think you can make anyone look young?
Where is everyone? is there a gag order or something?
anybody get fixed for good?
GODDESSA please respond, I sent you a private mail.
She didn't even ask my age. She just right away stated that the fat grafting would make me look younger.
Rene was also quick to point out that the surgery would cost 20, 000 ! Gee, I wonder what her true intentions were. To make me look younger or make $$$20, 000. I think we all now know the answer to this one now!
Good point ! how old are you liferuined?
I called Rene today. I asked her if fat grafts would make me look younger and she said: YES, they will! What a horrible joke to play on someone. I asked her how old she was and she said 47. I asked her if she had fat grafts and she said no. If they work so great why hasn't she had any by age 47?
Yes. what doctors remove them? I want names of good Dr and bad Drs!
Can we compare notes, who has had fat graft removed?
where can we find out what lab or doctor is researching how to remove fat grafts? I want scientific answers to what is going on in face.
There must be some Godsend somewhere researching and studying this? seems to me you start overfilled then you start hacking at the fat grafts some kinf of way after trying to figure out what to do with no real guidance then something even wierder starts to happen like "regenerating"turns into a treadmill of procedures.Sleepless nights and isolation, oh and dont forget a eating disorder because a few pounds makes a big diffrence too.
What con artists would charge people to get fatter? You can eat more and get fat! Mischa Barton had a guant face and now she is fat. I wonder if she had fat grafts...NOT!
Dr. Sabiero destroyed my face and life. Don't make the same mistake I did. Corey, my face also looks like a basketball. No one recognizes me and I spend my life in hiding.
Those rubbery lumps are made up of fat cells, so it does take and can get bigger.If the lumps are rock hard than it may be plain old scar tissue .Either way they suck and are very very hard to remove .
what do you know about Dr. Alesia P. Saboeiro
Thank you so much for coming forward and saving other people.
what do you know about Dr. Alesia P. Saboeiro how is she at adding fat to a broken nose?
Coleman will make millions when he figures out how to reduce fat graft easily and permanetley.
Only then will fat grafting will be a good procedure.
