Lipostructure Fat Grafting / TriBeCa Plastic Surgery review: buyer beware! 541

COREY

GIVING SOMEONE PERMISSION ON THIS FORUM IS MEANINGLESS. IF I AM COLEMAN, AND I WANTED TO LEGALLY POST YOUR PHOTOS, I WOULD NEED A SIGNED WRITTEN STATEMENT FROM YOU.

IF I AM ANOTHER PATIENT AND I WANTED COPIES OF YOUR PHOTOS FROM COLEMAN, DO YOU THINK HIS OFFICE WOULD GIVE THEM TO ME JUST BECAUSE YOU GAVE ME PERMISSION ON THE COMPLAINTS FORUM WHICH I'M SURE HE MONITORS?

COME-ON. IF YOU REALLY WANTED TO, YOU COULD GET THESE PHOTOS FROM COLEMAN AND POST THEM SOMEWHERE YOURSELF. SO PLEASE, POST YOUR PHOTOS, IN ALL FAIRNESS.

OH, AND I DO HAVE A LOT OF TIME ON MY HANDS. DONT YOU?

Patient...the "Big Time Exposure" is in the works. :) Sorry, but you get no heads up on this one! In the book called "THE ART OF WAR, " one does not share their strategy with the enemy.

"VIRTUALLY INVISIBLE? It seems "you" have easily found us. :)

And how "DID" you find us? I guess like everyone else. Googled in "Dr. Sydney Coleman, " dropped your eyes about an inch and lo and behold...there we were. "COMPLAINTS ON DR. SYDNEY COLEMAN!" Yep, about as invisible as you are...

OH! Here I go again...getting sucked in. Well, I have a nice Buffalo Steak (literally) waiting for me, hungry as a Cro-Magnon. Laughing.

COREY

YOU ARE LEGALLY ENTITLED TO COPIES OF ALL OF YOUR BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTOS TAKEN BY COLEMAN AND ALL YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS IN HIS POSSESSION.

YOU JUST NEED TO CALL IN TO HIS OFFICE AND FOLLOW-UP WITH SOME SIGNED CONFIRMATION OF YOUR REQUEST. THIS IS YOUR LEGAL RIGHT AND ALL DOCS KNOW THIS.

WHY WOULD COLEMAN POST THE PHOTOS TO INCRIMINATE HIMSELF? THAT BURDEN IS ON YOU.

FORTUNATELY, YOU ARE LEGALLY ENTITLED TO THESE MATERIALS SO IF YOU REALLY WANT, YOU CAN DO IT.

BACK TO YOU.

Patient? I give Dr. Syney Coleman "FULL PERMISSION, " to post my before pictures here...that he had taken of me. Laughing. Let everyone compare with my afters. As a matter of fact...I give Coleman my full permission...to give "YOU" my before pictures. You are working so hard to find a solution for everyone and seem to have plenty of time on your hands.

Will you please post my before pictures taken by Coleman? Because even "his before pictures of me" will reveal that I looked no older than forty. Maybe even less than forty. Actually...less than forty for certain. And I am not one to say that I am younger than I truly am. I always made a joke of this idea and would throw on a few years just for the fun of it.

Dr. Sydney Coleman..."WILL YOU PLEASE POST MY BEFORE PICTURES THAT YOU HAVE TAKEN OF ME?" In all fairness...:)

HIT UP NEWSPAPER, MAGAZINE, AND TV REPORTERS. A LOT OF THEM ARE DESPERATE FOR STORIES WITH SHOCK VALUE.

POOL YOUR RESOURCES, YOUR PHOTOS, AND STORIES. IT WOULD BE A VERY INTERESTING ARTICLE WITH WIDE APPEAL.

THESE DAYS, PEOPLE LOVE TO READ ABOUT COSMETIC SURGERY''S GOOD, BAD, AND UGLY SIDES.

COME-ON, GO FOR BIG TIME EXPOSURE.

THIS FORUM IS VIRTUALLY INVISIBLE. YOU CAN DO A LOT BETTER THAN THIS.

COREY

YOU ARE WRONG. I AM A PATIENT AND JUST A PATIENT. ALL I SUGGESTED IS THAT YOU USE THE SAME CONDITIONS IN YOUR BEFORE AND AFTERS. YOUR BEFORE PIC WAS GOOD. BUT IT WAS TAKEN TO LOOK GOOD. DONT YOU HAVE ANY BEFORE PICS IN CONDITIONS WITH SHADOWS TO SHOW IMPERFECTIONS. THE ONE YOU SHOWED DID NOT LOOK LIKE SOMEONE EVEN CLOSE TO 50.

BUT YOU ARE ALSO RIGHT, I AM NOT PART OF YOUR INNER CIRCLE. AND I AM NOT PART OF COLEMAN'S DEFENDERS. I AM JUST A PATIENT SEEKING THE TRUTH, NOT AFFILIATION TO EITHER GROUP.

BUT OK, IF YOU INSIST ON THINKING I AM COLEMAN, I CAN PLAY THE PART. I CHALLENGE YOU TO GO ON YOUTUBE, SHOW YOUR CURRENT FACE WITH ALL ITS IMPERFECTIONS AND ALSO SHOW LOTS OF YOUR

Agreed! Above Patient is not a patient. Patient has no idea what we have in the works. Patient is not in our circle here. Patient has multiple personalities and one of them is Coleman! Good try. Suggesting that we use a certain lighting? Sorry, but enough people have seen my pictures. The sun with shadows is the best lighting and I have captured well...the details of my mutilation "By You Coleman." Can't Touch This Coleman...Can't Touth This!"

The one with the sun showing my eyebrow? The ridge of it sticks out at least half an inch. I think it is time for more photos. You seem to be feeling a bit empowered since I removed them from New Image...because I could not use Mutilated in my headliner. Those really had you worried and with good reason.

Give me a few days, so that I can take Cake and Cracker up on that offer...of posting my pictures where I can use the words..."MUTILATED BY DR> SYDNEY COLEMAN!" You just do not know when to quit...stupid arrogant ###.

HELLO NATASHA

1. WRONG. I AM A REPEAT PATIENT.

2. I ADDRESSD HEATHER BECAUSE I WANTED TO ADDRESS HEATHER, SOMEONE WHO USED TO POST A LOT AND WHO STILL MIGHT BE READING. ARE YOU OFFENDED THAT I DIDN’T ADDRESS YOU DIRECTLY? OR ARE YOU HEATHER?

3. “THE PATIENT WHO WENT SO FAR AS TO PLAN KILLING YOU…? WHO DO YOU THINK I AM, COLEMAN?

4. MY WEIRD SUGGESTIONS? I’M JUST BEING REALISTIC. WHEN YOU ARE HURT OR DAMAGED AND YOU WANT TO SEEK RECOURSE, EVIDENCE IS WHAT YOU SHOULD PRESENT. TALK ONLY GOES SO FAR. ISN’T ONE PURPOSE OF THIS THREAD TO CONVINCE OTHERS THAT COLEMAN INTENTIONALLY MUTILATES PATIENTS? THOSE ARE STRONG CHARGES. SHOULD PEOPLE JUST BELIEVE YOU AT FACE VALUE? I MEAN, THIS IS AN ANONYMOUS BOARD AND ANY PERSON OR SMALL GROUP OF PEOPLE COULD POST UNDER NUMEROUS NAMES. SO FAR, THE BEST EVIDENCE THAT HAS BEEN PRESENTED ARE THE PHOTOS ON OTHER WEBSITES IN THE PAST. BUT AS I SAID, THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH THOSE TOO. THE VICTIMS COULD DO A LOT MORE IF THEY ARE REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT BRINGING HIM DOWN AND DESTROYING HIS CREDIBILITY WITH THE GENERAL PUBLIC. THIS BOARD IS NOT THE OPRAH SHOW. HOW MANY PEOPLE DO YOU THINK HAVE READ THIS THREAD? ONE HUNDRED, ONE THOUSAND? MORE?

5. MAYBE I AM WRONG. MAYBE THIS THREAD IS JUST AN INTERNAL SUPPORT GROUP AND NONE OF THE VICTIMS REALLY CARE WHAT NON-MUTILATED PATIENTS AND OUTSIDERS THINK. IF THAT’S THE CASE, THEN I MIS-READ YOU VCITIMS’ INTENTIONS. BUT IF I AM RIGHT THAT YOU WANNA BRING THIS GUY DOWN, YOU REALLY NEED TO DO A LOT MORE. OTHERWISE, I RECKON HE’LL CONTINUE PRACTICING UNHARMED UNTIL RETIREMENT.

6. WHY AM I INTERESTED? AS A PATIENT, I JUST WANT TO KNOW THE OBJECTIVE TRUTH. HAS HE MUTILATED SCORES OF PATIENTS? DID HE DO IT INTENTIONALLY? IT REALLY DISTUBRS ME THAT SOMEONE I INVESTED COMPLETE TRUST IN MIGHT HAVE DONE SUCH THINGS.

Picture this. There is a huge boulder rolling down a hill. Coleman is freaking out right in front of it...trapped in his box. Can't move..."Checkmate!"

So the little pathetic twig in your hand, that you keep waving...had better be a a "Super Dupper Magic Wand" laughing...because that is what it will take...to stop the momentum of what we have started.

"Tea Cup Poodle"...attacks "Angry Pitbulls!"

"Coleman mutilates and experiments on patients while under anesthesia."

In Coleman's world?...one reality...just as logical as the other?

April, thank you for connecting. Nice to finally meet you. The circle is growing! :)

Hello Natasha

1. Wrong. I am a repeat patient.

2. I addressed Heather because I wanted to address Heather, someone who used to post a lot and who still might be reading. Are you offended that I didn't address you? Or are you Heather?

3. "The patient who went so far as to plan killing you..."? Who do you think I am, Coleman?

4. My weird suggestions? I'm just being realistic. When you are hurt or damaged and you want to seek recourse, evidence is what you should present. Talk only goes so far. Isn't one purpose of this thread to convince others that Coleman intentionally mutilates patients? Those are strong charges. Should people just believe you at face value? I mean, this is an anonymous board and and person or small group of people could post under numerous names. So far, the best evidence that has been presented are the photos on other websites in the past. But as I said, there are problems with those too. The victims could do a lot more if they are really serious about bringing this down and destroying his credibility with the general public. This board is not the Oprah show. How many people do you think have read this thread? One hundred, one thousand, more?

5. Maybe I am wrong. Maybe this thread is just an internal support group and none of the victims really care what non-mutiliated patients and outsiders think. If that's the case, then I mis-read you victims' intentions. But if I am right that you want to wanna bring this guy down, you really need to do a lot more. Otherwise, I reckon he'll continue practicing unharmed until retirment.

6. Why am I interested? As a patient, I just want to know the objective truth. Has he mutilated scores of patients? Did he do it intentionally? It really disturbs me that someone I invested complete trust might have done such things.

The photographs “chosen” to be displayed are not fair and accurate depictions of the results of Dr. Coleman’s treatment of these patients. These photographs are not comparable “before and after” presentations of the patients and show the results of surgeries that are unrelated to the fat grafting procedures performed by Dr. Coleman.

As anyone weighs the decision of undergoing plastic surgery, there are certain facts that all patients should consider:

Patients should realize that there is a recovery after any procedure, and that recovery is variable. Although most people look great by two months after fat grafting, the actual result may not be seen for as much as six months or even longer in rare circumstance.

It is not prudent have further procedures after any surgical procedure until most of the swelling has resolved.

Fat grafting, like any surgical procedure on humans, involves the manipulation of living tissues. The results of any procedure by any surgeon (urologist, gynecologist, otolaryngologist, et cetera) are not completely predictable. Secondary procedures may be necessary. We cannot compare surgical procedures or fat grafting to the purchase of an IPOD or Monte Blanc pen because molding living tissue is not as predictable as molding plastic or metal

You should always discuss any questions or concerns you have about your medical treatment, and specifically any surgical procedure you are considering with your physician.

“I met Dr. Coleman in 2003. Before discovering Dr. Coleman, I had several skin peels and dermabrasions for various facial scars all performed by a board certified plastic surgeon. The plastic surgeon encouraged me to continue the procedures thinking the next one would “do the trick”. Overtime this philosophy left my face sullen, pigmented and stripped of the tops layers of skin. I finally went to another plastic surgeon for a second opinion. He looked at my sullen face and suggested Dr. Coleman. This plastic surgeon attended a seminar where Dr. Coleman presented his research on lipostructure. He suggested that I get a consultation from Dr. Coleman as he feared the procedures being performed on my face were leaving me with a new kind of facial deformity.

I had a consultation with Dr. Coleman who explained his LipoStructure technique in great detail. I remember his extensive picture taking of my face and his explanation of harvesting, purifying and then placing fat taken from other parts of my body (in my case my inner thighs) into my face for restructuring and contouring. At every step in the process, he explained in detail the expectations, risks and how the healing processes would evolve over time. He explained that it sometimes took a few procedures to get the fat interspersed correctly through out my face and that it was a very delicate procedure that needed a healing curve to optimize the results. Basically, the procedure needs a patient to be patient.

The procedure itself is not painful. You are under sedation/anesthesia by a licensed anesthesiologist and wake up with bandages on the areas where fat was removed and where it was re-deposited. His office staff is helpful and gives very clear directions as to how to care for the areas post operatively. Once the bandages are removed then the healing process begins. As a pharmacist, I can tell you that the healing curve is very patient specific. Some people bruise easier than others and some require more time for swelling to subside so there is no exact timeline for these healing steps. Most importantly since they are regulated by your own body clock, the steps can not be rushed. Also, if there is one point to reinforce is that you must follow directions given by the staff. For example, after a period of time, ice is not warranted nor is the use of steroids helpful to decrease any swelling. The swelling will go away over time and can not be rushed. I think that this is the hardest part that some find annoying and at times disconcerting. I found it helpful not to keep looking in the mirror - waiting for instant results because the results do not come instantly but rather evolve through a rejuvenating process, restoring what was loss through aging or in my case trauma. Over time the rejuvenating results are apparent. There is swelling, bruises, redness in the eyes and even a little discomfort post the procedure, but as time goes by all disappear and the results of the procedure are natural and rejuvenating.

The transplanted fat feels like normal body structures. If the transplanted fat is near bone or cartilage then it feels like bone or cartilage. The LipoStructure system feels natural to the touch. Using this technique, Dr. Coleman refined and restructured my face but most importantly brought back myself confidence. Would I do it again? Yes. It changed my life and gave me the self confidence I needed to reach my goals.“

First, the New York State Department of Health has NEVER taken any disciplinary action against Dr. Coleman.

Second, Dr. Coleman has NEVER been found liable for malpractice and no judgment in a malpractice lawsuit has ever been entered against him. The links to the New York State and Federal Court websites are another attempt to mislead and misinform.

Third, the complaint of Patient DD is completely unsubstantiated and is not part of a public record.

The photographs “chosen” to be displayed are not fair and accurate depictions of the results of Dr. Coleman’s treatment of these patients.

"My association with Dr. Coleman and his fat transfer process commenced in March 2000 after I had thoroughly researched various ways to enhance my thinning facial profile. As a 41 year-old professional fitness trainer I was concerned that I was becoming too skeletal looking but I did not want to opt for more traditional means such as a face lift or artificial fillers.

At the conclusion of my first engagement, I was initially quite swollen and bruised, nevertheless, within a few months I was pleased with the results and thankful that I was left without visual scars which are inherent in many alternate measures. I have returned to Dr. Coleman on two other occasions so that he could address secondary areas which have surfaced since my initial visit. During each process, I have been treated with the utmost professionalism as his staff is sensitive to both my emotional and physical needs and willing to go the extra mile to ensure that every question is answered and ever need addressed.

In sum, I wholeheartedly endorse Dr. Coleman’s practice as he is a true professional who is dedicated to the intricate details that are presented by each and every patient."

"It is usually difficult to express accolades of any person. When it comes to Dr. Sydney Coleman it becomes an easy task.

Dr. Coleman has operated on me several times and has essentially restructed my face in such a natural manner that I have been able to improve my appearance beyond my expectations. I feel that my face is naturally youthful and the results of my fat implants have returned my youth. I also had fat implants on my neck and hands and without any other plastic surgery, have noticed that I appear 15 years younger.

My husband is an ophthalmologist and also performs blepharoplastic surgery. He was truly amazed at the results that I achieved with a minimal amount of surgery and with the fat implants injected around my eyes. My husband and I cannot recommend any other physician who has the natural ability to do this type of procedure as well as Dr. Coleman.

I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Sydney Coleman at any time for any procedure that he performs. Dr. Coleman is truly a gifted surgeon."

-- Florence S., New Jersey

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"The results of a traditional facelift left my face devoid of fat, looking unnatural and unhealthy. Dr. Coleman was able to reverse these effects with Lipostructure. The results of the procedure are outstanding. I have regained the look of my younger years, beyond my expectations. While the swelling and recovery time, from Lipostructure, are greater than with other procedures, the results warrant the process. My only regret is that I didn't learn about Lipostructure sooner."

"I had my LipoStructure face procedure performed on 12/27/05 and I must confess that my recovery was so slow, I thought, never to see my face looking normal again. Then all of a sudden, just like Dr. Coleman promised, the swelling and bruising are mostly gone and of as today’s date 3/21/06, I do have minor swelling and slight bruising but, for the most part, I finally feel great about myself and people around me love the results, as well.

THERE IS A LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL!

My total experience with Tribeca Plastic Surgery Facility was always positive. During my recovery I had constant doubts and concerns and I did frequent the office more then usual. The staff and the doctors were always patient and accommodating to all my emotional and physical needs."

"Thank you for your professionalism, your sensitivity and above all, your expertise delivery of results. In 2000 I came to you with severe acne scars; you sat down with me, carefully explained your recommendations and walked through the procedure. I was so happy with the outcome and have recently come back for additional surgery. Your staff is very friendly and caring, I always felt completely comfortable. I am truly grateful, thank you."

“Just going to Dr. Coleman’s office makes my day. He is a skilled, caring surgeon who’s integrity level is so high. I am so pleased with my results. I would use him again for anything. My skin has never looked better. It’s the best money I ever spent.”

“I just wanted to write you this letter to express how thankful I am. Back in 2001 when I first walked in your office, I was scared; and never thought you would be able to make me look as good as you have. For a whole year I was so depressed looking in the mirror, but you have changed that. Thank you, I am so happy. I live so far away, but I would never go anywhere else, nor would I ever let anyone touch my face but you. I will continue to tell all my friends and family how great you are because you changed my life…thank you again.”

“I came to Dr. Coleman at age 38, looking 45 or older. I also had severe acne scarring coupled with surgical scars from previous, unsuccessful corrective surgeries. Dr. Coleman performed lipostructure on my facial scarring and on other, prematurely aged areas of my face. Today, most of my acne scars are gone and, at age 41, I don't look a day over 35. Most importantly, however, I no longer hide at home, consumed with anxiety over my haggard and disfigured appearance. Instead, I leave the house each day feeling confident about the way I look and able to focus on the outside world and what I want to achieve in it. Lipostructure has improved not only my physical appearance but my overall quality of life.”

-- Karen, Retired, New Jersey

“I have found Dr. Coleman to be a highly credentialed medical professional who possesses the artistic sensitivities and awareness of a sculpture. He is constantly looking for ways to improve and refine his art, which is why I trust him to reduce the tell-tale signs of aging on my face, which has enabled me to feel happier and more confident about my appearance.”

“I was referred to Dr. Coleman by a physician who said that as I grow older, my eyes will continue to appear more sunken, and my face was beginning to be gaunt. He highly recommended Dr. Coleman as the pioneer of lipostructure and as a person who could "fix" my growing problem. Indeed, after a partial treatment, my eyes and my face appear much fuller and more youthful. Since I am in the public constantly, I could not afford sufficient healing time to have everything that Dr. Coleman recommended done, but I most definitely plan to return for more. The change is subtle but significant. Yesterday I was asked if I were in my early forties, and I am 57! Dr. Coleman is more than a physician; he is an artist is his ability to visualize and design what a person wants. He listens carefully and shows great care in planning how to achieve the desired results. As soon as my work schedule allows, I am planning to return to Dr. Coleman to complete

Dr. Coleman performed lipostructure on my facial scarring and on other, prematurely aged areas of my face. Today, most of my acne scars are gone and, at age 41, I don't look a day over 35. Most importantly, however, I no longer hide at home, consumed with anxiety over my haggard and disfigured appearance. Instead, I leave the house each day feeling confident about the way I look and able to focus on the outside world and what I want to achieve in it. Lipostructure has improved not only my physical appearance but my overall quality of life.”

-- Karen, Retired, New Jersey

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“I have found Dr. Coleman to be a highly credentialed medical professional who possesses the artistic sensitivities and awareness of a sculpture. He is constantly looking for ways to improve and refine his art, which is why I trust him to reduce the tell-tale signs of aging on my face, which has enabled me to feel happier and more confident about my appearance.”

-- Marion, New York

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“My before an after pictures speak for themselves, so I guess that’s all I have to say. I just want to thank Dr. Colman and everyone else in Tribeca Plastic Surgery for your professionalism.”

-- Barbara, Art Dealer, Mexico

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“I was referred to Dr. Coleman by a physician who said that as I grow older, my eyes will continue to appear more sunken, and my face was beginning to be gaunt. He highly recommended Dr. Coleman as the pioneer of lipostructure and as a person who could "fix" my growing problem. Indeed, after a partial treatment, my eyes and my face appear much fuller and more youthful. Since I am in the public constantly, I could not afford sufficient healing time to have everything that Dr. Coleman recommended done, but I most definitely plan to return for more. The change is subtle but significant. Yesterday I was asked if I were in my early forties, and I am 57! Dr. Coleman is more than a physician; he is an artist is his ability to visualize and design what a person wants. He listens carefully and shows great care in planning how to achieve the desired results. As soon as my work schedule allows, I am planning to return to Dr. Coleman to complete the process.“

-- Entertainer, North Carolina

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“It was a wonderful experience! I just turned 60 and after a facelift with another doctor, I still had thin lips and still had all the vertical lines.

Dr. Coleman recontoured my lips and got rid of all of the lines. The shape is totally natural. It took 15 years off my lower face. He is really restored the bottom of my face. I am totally delighted. I cannot say enough on how great my lips look and how great I feel!”

-- Susan, New York

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I am in the beauty industry and I see lots of plastic surgery. Good or bad, there are always scars and a facelift only works the first time around. What makes Dr. Coleman's technique different is that it can turn back the clock a decade without any cutting. 10 years later it can be repeated with similar results. Lipostructure has restored the youthful fullness to my face, the kind I used to have when I was younger. In addition, my skin is smoother as well, because it has been filled out. All this without scars! I have had 2 procedures with Dr. Coleman, twelve years ago and a year and a half ago. Each time I am amazed at the long lasting natural looking results. No one can ever guess my real age, thanks to Dr. Coleman!"

-- Johanna, Beauty Industry, Florida

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have a systemic disease called discoid lupus which involves sub-dermal fat and collagen in certain areas of the body, leaving very noticeable depressions and scaring. I had had an abdominal fat graft placed about 15 years ago but it was totally reabsorbed. Dr. Coleman performed lipostructure in Jan 2004 and Jan 2005. The abdominal fat was injected on both sides of my face. Around 40% was reabsorbed after 3 to 5 months of the first procedure, but there has been evident improvement, since jan 2005 Given that lupus is an active process that cannot be cured, I am very satisfied to see that this procedure has worked so well.

-- Maria, Columbia

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was in a serious accident in 1995 which rendered my left gluteus muscle paralyzed. After five years of atrophy, the majority of the tissue was lost. Thanks to Dr. Coleman and his lipostructure procedure, the tissue loss is almost completely restored. I now feel confident when wearing a bathing suit thanks to Dr. Coleman’s remarkable procedure.

-- Ann, Aesthetician, Florida

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My two facial Liposculpture sessions by Sydney Coleman have exceeded my high expectations. I am a busy plastic surgeon who occasionally appears on television. My goal was to diminish the depressed cheek scarring from Acne and soften some of the atrophy of aging, especially on camera. His lipoaugmentation achieved an 80% correction. Not only am I frequently told how much better I look, but there is a softer texture to my face. I am both a student and collegial friend of Sydney and I found the entire experience educational and worthwhile. I am surprised at my improved self esteem. Again he proves himself the consummate master of LipoStructure.

-- Dr. H., Plastic Surgeon, Pennsylvania

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another surgeon who performed surgery for my drooping eyelids had removed too much fat and skin. After multiple surgeries to allow my eyes to close completely, my lids were scarred and my eyes looked hollowed out. The lid crease had actually moved to right below my eyebrows. I was also very uncomfortable with dry eyes. Dr. Coleman performed two procedures to add fat and reshape the area below my eyebrows. In addition to restoring the appearance of normal eyelids, I no longer have a problem with dry eyes. I had researched all possibilities before seeing Dr. Coleman and am convinced that Lipostructure is the only procedure that could have given me a successful result.

-- Eileen, System Analyst, Maryland

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“I met Dr. Coleman in 2003. Before discovering Dr. Coleman, I had several skin peels and dermabrasions for various facial scars all performed by a board certified plastic surgeon. The plastic surgeon encouraged me to continue the procedures thinking the next one would “do the trick”. Overtime this philosophy left my face sullen, pigmented and stripped of the tops layers of skin. I finally went to another plastic surgeon for a second opinion. He looked at my sullen face and suggested Dr. Coleman. This plastic surgeon attended a seminar where Dr. Coleman presented his research on lipostructure. He suggested that I get a consultation from Dr. Coleman as he feared the procedures being performed on my face were leaving me with a new kind of facial deformity.

I had a consultation with Dr. Coleman who explained his LipoStructure technique in great detail. I remember his extensive picture taking of my face and his explanation of harvesting, purifying and then placing fat taken from other parts of my body (in my case my inner thighs) into my face for restructuring and contouring. At every step in the process, he explained in detail the expectations, risks and how the healing processes would evolve over time. He explained that it sometimes took a few procedures to get the fat interspersed correctly through out my face and that it was a very delicate procedure that needed a healing curve to optimize the results. Basically, the procedure needs a patient to be patient.

The procedure itself is not painful. You are under sedation/anesthesia by a licensed anesthesiologist and wake up with bandages on the areas where fat was removed and where it was re-deposited. His office staff is helpful and gives very clear directions as to how to care for the areas post operatively. Once the bandages are removed then the healing process begins. As a pharmacist, I can tell you that the healing curve is very patient specific. Some people bruise easier than others and some require more time for swelling to subside so there is no exact timeline for these healing steps. Most importantly since they are regulated by your own body clock, the steps can not be rushed. Also, if there is one point to reinforce is that you must follow directions given by the staff. For example, after a period of time, ice is not warranted nor is the use of steroids helpful to decrease any swelling. The swelling will go away over time and can not be rushed. I think that this is the hardest part that some find annoying and at times disconcerting. I found it helpful not to keep looking in the mirror - waiting for instant results because the results do not come instantly but rather evolve through a rejuvenating process, restoring what was loss through aging or in my case trauma. Over time the rejuvenating results are apparent. There is swelling, bruises, redness in the eyes and even a little discomfort post the procedure, but as time goes by all disappear and the results of the procedure are natural and rejuvenating.

The transplanted fat feels like normal body structures. If the transplanted fat is near bone or cartilage then it feels like bone or cartilage. The LipoStructure system feels natural to the touch. Using this technique, Dr. Coleman refined and restructured my face but most importantly brought back myself confidence. Would I do it again? Yes. It changed my life and gave me the self confidence I needed to reach my goals.“

Corey, Heather, April, and other unhappy patients

I've read your posts with much interest and I've showed them to others. Its really so hard to believe. But our system is stacked against victims so you will probably need to do a lot more if you hope to really get him punished.

Here are some ideas:

- Get all of your medical records and photos if you haven't done so already. These should include photos of marked-up donor sites on your body and marked-up fat graft sites on your face. Normally, after the photo is taken, you sign a consent form stating that you have looked at these markings in the mirror and are in full agreement with the doctor that these are the areas where fat will be grafted. If he did additional work that you did not consent to, proof of this can be derived by comparing your face to these marked photos assuming you have not had additional work following the operation in question.

- I've seen a few of the photos from unhappy patients but must say the before and afters were taken under different conditions. Dr. Coleman points this out on his website. To enhance credibility, the after photos should be taken with similar lighting and poses as the before. I know that on the same day, I can have both very good and bad photos taken of myself just by chaning the angles, lighting, pose, distance, etc. Dr. Coleman's website before and afters appear to be taken under very standard conditions. Also, I doubt the monster phase photos help your case. Coleman's patient literature clearly warns of this and his own website has this sort of photo too.

- The photo with the penis markings could just be a coincidence. Even if not, I doubt a judge will buy that since its standard procedure to mark donor areas. If those happen to be the areas he plans to suction from, what should he do, modify his markings to make sure they can't be interpreted in the wrong way?

- Get on Youtube and tell your stories with lots of photos. There is one lady who has attacked another doctor this way and I'm sure her story has scared away a lot of people.

By the way, I've talked to several doctors about Coleman and his work. The worst thing anyone of them said is that he tends to overfill. But they all seemed to highly respect his work and three of them had even attended his seminars and learned to apply his techniques.

The Complaints board is a good start. But if you really want to get traction, you will probably need to do a lot more.

April, Do not go under. There are life preservers all around you. All you need do is reach out to us. I have attempted to connect with you in the past and you were not ready. Yesterday, I sent my telephone number and still? I have not heard from you? Perhaps it is time. Know that we are here for you..."24/7!" It is a bit different going back and forth over the telephone, more helpful. I encourage all...who have not yet done this, please do so.

Thank you for creating "Buyer Beware!" This has been a most powerful platform to expose the truth. Do not think for one moment...these postings are not shared throughout the medical community...and the community of those seeking a surgeon. The man is fired already! He may have a few stragglers of the unawares...but his career is basically over.

The next step is seeing to it...that he serves time in prison It will not end "ALL" of our suffering, but most certainly will..."STOP COLEMAN FROM CREATING MORE SUFFERING!"

It can get discouraging when you know that our laws are set up, so that a person "IN PAIN"...must fight for the right to use Medical Marijuana...but a person "CAUSING PAIN" can pretty much...not only legally get away with it...but get paid to do this as well?

When this is what you are up against? You can only wonder..."How Did I End Up On This Planet?"

Natasha, Could not have said it better!

April, she is awesome... please connect with her.

Cake and Crackers. Considering your kind offer. Thanks. :)

Well, it's been almost 3 years since my surgery. I am more depressed today than ever. I can not express the hatred I have for the man that has caused my disfigurement. I have more hatred for myself to have trusted him and let him do this to me although most of the surgery he did without my consent.
I find it funny how his entire staff is new. No one is there from when I had my surgery other than Dr. Sabeiro.
Has anything happened to him? He is still making money and doing surgeries for those exhuberant prices he charges? Amazing. I will never see that money or have the body I had.
What good can come from all this pain? I guess nothing. I have no hope anymore.

yes,
you've been quite effective and generous with sharing your pictures.
If you want. I can post them for you at a file sharing site and link to them from here.

You can say "Mutilated Pateint" there

OH! Must not forget, Coleman's partner Dr. Sebrerio or whatever her name is? She has been with him long enough to know what is going on! I question her as well? Any person who will work under, or by this man "in the same practice"... is lacking in integrity...the kind required for trusting your life with!

I feel that "this" Complaints Board is the most effective board there is. Just the words Dr. Sydney Coleman typed in, bring first his place of business, next..."BOLDLY"...this site.

"CAN"T MISS IT!...CAN'T MISS IT!...CAN'T MISS IT!...CAN'T MISS IT!...CAN'T MISS IT!...CAN'T MISS IT!

Anyone reading this, knows that I have already posted pictures and at some point they will be here as well. The stories shared here... are wrenchingly heartfelt and believable. That in itself satisfies the goal of "Getting The Word Out!"

Just learning of Coleman's affiliation with a Cell company, makes me question? "What Might Possibly Been Harvested From Those He Mutilated...And Did He Profit From This?" We were knocked out for an excessive period of time, way beyond what we expected...and operated on in areas without consent?

I feel at peace with what I am doing now...as far as exposing Coleman. No longer frantic in getting the word out. It is already out and I am now satisfied with the disruption in his plans, which will dramatically alter his future. A gentle reminder for those who continue to "Not Get It"...this is not about "unforseen complications"...rather the intentional experimentation and mutilation of our bodies.

I will not be returning, until my pictures are posted here...perhaps to address a few questions. Other than...for that reason alone...it would not serve a purpose for me. Thank you with much "heartfelt gratitude" to all who have contributed in the exposing of Coleman! Farewell! :)

hey,

on the new image board, jsut try saying unhappy coleman patient. It's worth keeping the photos up there, because it's a heavily trafficked site; if your goal is to get "the word out" about coleman, then keeping them up is to you advantage.

How many unhappy coleman patients have their been, do you think?

I understand all doctors have "unforseen" complications. Is Coleman's more than other docs?

I have taken my pictures down off of New Image, because I was politely asked to remove the headliner..."PRETHENIE MUTILATED BY DR. SYDNEY COLEMAN!" Could not find a "pretty" word for "MUTIILATED!" When a description of the obvious, becomes more offensive than the offense...time to walk away.

Still anticipating the posting of them here, by the administrator who is compassionate, not intimidated by Coleman or his Lawyers and apparently busy...but will keep her word when she can get to it. :)

Plan A. B, C and D are in the works as well...

We "COLEMAN VICTIMS" are finding balance in our approach and patient in knowing of a positive outcome in all of this. To have suffered alone for so long and then finding one another? the outpouring of love and support we have shared together?

Understandable that..."WE FINALLY WERE ABLE TO BEGIN PROCESSING...SO MUCH PENT UP SUFFERING, SOME OF WHICH YOU HAVE BEEN WITNESS TO!"

Not an appology here at all, but some are..."FINE EXAMPLES OF POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER"...resultant of being mutilated by Coleman.

I THINK THERE IS SOMETHING TO BE SAID ABOUT THE HUMILIATION ASPECT. I RECENTLY HAD HAD ACCESS TO HIS STRUCTURAL FAT GRAFTING BOOK. INCLUDED IN THIS BOOK IS A DVD OF HIM (HYDE) WORKING ON A PATIENT. HE WAS LIPOSUCTIONING HER BELLY, AND THERE WAS NO DRAPING OVER HER PUBIC AREA. NO REGARD OR RESPECT OF OR FOR THIS WOMAN. I WAS SO DISGUISTED I DID NOT FINISH VIEWING IT. I AM NOT ONE THAT USUALLY JUDGES OTHERS MOTIVES OR ACTIONS, YET I HAVE A STRONG SENSE THAT HE HAS A VERY DARK SIDE AND IMPOSES HIS ANGER AND FRUSTRATION ON HIS INNOCENT PATIENTS WITH EVERY STRIKE OF HIS CANNULA. HE MUST HAVE MANY CHILDHOOD ISSUES AND I THINK MAYBE HE TRIES TO HELP THOSE IN NEED OF HIM, AND THOSE THAT WISH THEIR BEAUTY ENHANCED MUST PUSH A BUTTON, THAT MAKES HIM WANT TO DESTROY THEIR FACES AND BODIES. ITS ALMOST LIKE HE IS ANGERED WHEN AN ATTRACTIVE PERSON ASKS HIM TO "WASTE" HIS TIME ON THEIR UNIMPORTANT REQUESTS, SO TO TEACH THEM A LESSON, HE MUTILATES THEM AND EXPERIMENTS SO HE CAN WRITE ANOTHER SELF PRAISING ARTLICLE. COULD ONE BE SO EVIL? SCAREY!

Abstract:

Purpose: Autologous Coleman fat transfer is used in the periocular area and intraorbitally for soft-tissue volume augmentation in postenucleation socket syndrome. This article aims to identify areas of low fat absorption and the histopathology of excised fat.

Methods: Noncomparative case series of patients who underwent excision/debulking of injected autologous fat in the inferior sulcus/lower eyelid.

Results: Five of 20 patients with postenucleation socket syndrome who had received intraorbital and sulcus Coleman fat transfer, required fat reduction (sculpting) from the inferior sulcus and lower eyelid due to persistent "overfill" 8 months to 17 months after fat transfer. Between 0.2 ml and 1.4 ml of fat was removed. The excised fat was pale, rubbery, and compact in comparison with the normal lower eyelid fat pad. Histopathology showed healthy adipose cells but with chronic inflammation and fibrous septa.

Conclusions: Fat survival is greater than anticipated in the lower eyelid and inferior sulcus. Therefore, judicious use in these areas is suggested. The grafted fat is distinguishable from the fat in the lower eyelid both clinically and histopathologically.

THERE ARE SO SO MAMNY ARTICLES SIMILAR TO THE ABOVE POSTED ONE. YOU JUST HAVE TO KNOW WHERE TO LOOK FOR THEM:)

ONE DOCTOR WRITES ( IN A MEDICAL BOOK) PREVENTING PROBLEMS IN FAT GRAFTING IS QUITE SIMPLE.
UNFORTUNATLY, OVERCORRECTION IS A GREATER PROBLEM FOR REPAIR THAN UNDERCORRECTION.
NO MORE THAN ONE CC OF FAT CAN BE PLACED UNDER THE EYELIDS AND IT MUST BE PLACED UNDER THE ORBICULARIS MUSCLE WITH GREAT CARE. ONE HUNDRED PERCENT OF FAT IN THIS POSITION IS RETAINED. IF NOT DONE PROPERLY, IT BECOMES LUMPY AND CANNOT BE CORRECTED.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO REMOVE TOO MUCH FAT FROM THE DONOR AREA OR YOU WILL BE FAT GRAFTING TO THIS SITE IN THE FUTURE TO CORRECT DENTS.
FAT IS INJECTED WITH 1CC SYRINGES IN MANY PASSES. I DO NOT USE AS MANY PASSES AS COLEMAN DOES, AND I DO NOT USE AS MUCH FAT. I RARELY USE MORE THAN 40G OF FAT ON THE FACE. SIDNEY SOMETIMES USES 5 TIMES THAT. I RARELY MAKE MORE THAN 4 OR 5 PASSES PER MILLILITER. SIDNEY USES 4 OR 5 TIMES THAT.
I USE MEDROL DOSEPAK IN THE POSTOPERATIVE PERIOD SIDNEY DOES NOT USE STEROIDS.
DO NOT USE TOO MUCH FAT. YOU CANNOT COUNT ON IT DISAPPEARING. MAINTAIN A MINIMUL OVERCORRECTION IN ALMOST ALL AREAS.
WE CAN BE BETTER SURGEONS IF WE DO NOT HAVE WORRIES ABOUT OUR PREVIOUS PATIENTS.
ETC, ETC, ETC.

I SUPPOSE I CAN GO ON AND ON. I AM ONLY SORRY THAT I DID NOT READ ALL THE ARTICLES OFFERED IN MEDICAL JOURNALS AND TEXT BOOKS BEFORE I HAD SURGERY WITH COLEMAN. AND BY THE WAY, HE IS NOT THE INVENTOR OF ANYTHING. SIDNEY RELPCATED THE SUCCESS OF DR.--------------- AND I BELIEVE THE FRENCH WERE THE FIRST TO EXPERIMENT WIT THIS TECHNIQUE. UNFORTUNATLY, IT IS STILL TO THIS DATE, AN EXPERIMENT.

First, the New York State Department of Health has NEVER taken any disciplinary action against Dr. Coleman.

Second, Dr. Coleman has NEVER been found liable for malpractice and no judgment in a malpractice lawsuit has ever been entered against him. The links to the New York State and Federal Court websites are another attempt to mislead and misinform.

Third, the complaint of Patient DD is completely unsubstantiated and is not part of a public record.

The photographs “chosen” to be displayed are not fair and accurate depictions of the results of Dr. Coleman’s treatment of these patients. These photographs are not comparable “before and after” presentations of the patients and show the results of surgeries that are unrelated to the fat grafting procedures performed by Dr. Coleman.

As anyone weighs the decision of undergoing plastic surgery, there are certain facts that all patients should consider:

Patients should realize that there is a recovery after any procedure, and that recovery is variable. Although most people look great by two months after fat grafting, the actual result may not be seen for as much as six months or even longer in rare circumstance.

It is not prudent have further procedures after any surgical procedure until most of the swelling has resolved.

Fat grafting, like any surgical procedure on humans, involves the manipulation of living tissues. The results of any procedure by any surgeon (urologist, gynecologist, otolaryngologist, et cetera) are not completely predictable. Secondary procedures may be necessary. We cannot compare surgical procedures or fat grafting to the purchase of an IPOD or Monte Blanc pen because molding living tissue is not as predictable as molding plastic or metal

You should always discuss any questions or concerns you have about your medical treatment, and specifically any surgical procedure you are considering with your physician.

"My association with Dr. Coleman and his fat transfer process commenced in March 2000 after I had thoroughly researched various ways to enhance my thinning facial profile. As a 41 year-old professional fitness trainer I was concerned that I was becoming too skeletal looking but I did not want to opt for more traditional means such as a face lift or artificial fillers.

At the conclusion of my first engagement, I was initially quite swollen and bruised, nevertheless, within a few months I was pleased with the results and thankful that I was left without visual scars which are inherent in many alternate measures. I have returned to Dr. Coleman on two other occasions so that he could address secondary areas which have surfaced since my initial visit. During each process, I have been treated with the utmost professionalism as his staff is sensitive to both my emotional and physical needs and willing to go the extra mile to ensure that every question is answered and ever need addressed.

In sum, I wholeheartedly endorse Dr. Coleman’s practice as he is a true professional who is dedicated to the intricate details that are presented by each and every patient."

"It is usually difficult to express accolades of any person. When it comes to Dr. Sydney Coleman it becomes an easy task.

Dr. Coleman has operated on me several times and has essentially restructed my face in such a natural manner that I have been able to improve my appearance beyond my expectations. I feel that my face is naturally youthful and the results of my fat implants have returned my youth. I also had fat implants on my neck and hands and without any other plastic surgery, have noticed that I appear 15 years younger.

My husband is an ophthalmologist and also performs blepharoplastic surgery. He was truly amazed at the results that I achieved with a minimal amount of surgery and with the fat implants injected around my eyes. My husband and I cannot recommend any other physician who has the natural ability to do this type of procedure as well as Dr. Coleman.

I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Sydney Coleman at any time for any procedure that he performs. Dr. Coleman is truly a gifted surgeon."

"The results of a traditional facelift left my face devoid of fat, looking unnatural and unhealthy. Dr. Coleman was able to reverse these effects with Lipostructure. The results of the procedure are outstanding. I have regained the look of my younger years, beyond my expectations. While the swelling and recovery time, from Lipostructure, are greater than with other procedures, the results warrant the process. My only regret is that I didn't learn about Lipostructure sooner."

e photographs “chosen” to be displayed are not fair and accurate depictions of the results of Dr. Coleman’s treatment of these patients. These photographs are not comparable “before and after” presentations of the patients and show the results of surgeries that are unrelated to the fat grafting procedures performed by Dr. Coleman.

As anyone weighs the decision of undergoing plastic surgery, there are certain facts that all patients should consider:

Patients should realize that there is a recovery after any procedure, and that recovery is variable. Although most people look great by two months after fat grafting, the actual result may not be seen for as much as six months or even longer in rare circumstance.

It is not prudent have further procedures after any surgical procedure until most of the swelling has resolved.

Fat grafting, like any surgical procedure on humans, involves the manipulation of living tissues. The results of any procedure by any surgeon (urologist, gynecologist, otolaryngologist, et cetera) are not completely predictable. Secondary procedures may be necessary. We cannot compare surgical procedures or fat grafting to the purchase of an IPOD or Monte Blanc pen because molding living tissue is not as predictable as molding plastic or metal

You should always discuss any questions or concerns you have about your medical treatment, and specifically any surgical procedure you are considering with your physician.

“I was referred to Dr. Coleman by a physician who said that as I grow older, my eyes will continue to appear more sunken, and my face was beginning to be gaunt. He highly recommended Dr. Coleman as the pioneer of lipostructure and as a person who could "fix" my growing problem. Indeed, after a partial treatment, my eyes and my face appear much fuller and more youthful. Since I am in the public constantly, I could not afford sufficient healing time to have everything that Dr. Coleman recommended done, but I most definitely plan to return for more. The change is subtle but significant. Yesterday I was asked if I were in my early forties, and I am 57! Dr. Coleman is more than a physician; he is an artist is his ability to visualize and design what a person wants. He listens carefully and shows great care in planning how to achieve the desired results. As soon as my work schedule allows, I am planning to return to Dr. Coleman to complete

“It was a wonderful experience! I just turned 60 and after a facelift with another doctor, I still had thin lips and still had all the vertical lines.

Dr. Coleman recontoured my lips and got rid of all of the lines. The shape is totally natural. It took 15 years off my lower face. He is really restored the bottom of my face. I am totally delighted. I cannot say enough on how great my lips look and how great I feel!”

-- Susan, New York

"I am in the beauty industry and I see lots of plastic surgery. Good or bad, there are always scars and a facelift only works the first time around. What makes Dr. Coleman's technique different is that it can turn back the clock a decade without any cutting. 10 years later it can be repeated with similar results. Lipostructure has restored the youthful fullness to my face, the kind I used to have when I was younger. In addition, my skin is smoother as well, because it has been filled out. All this without scars! I have had 2 procedures with Dr. Coleman, twelve years ago and a year and a half ago. Each time I am amazed at the long lasting natural looking results. No one can ever guess my real age, thanks to Dr. Coleman!"

I have a systemic disease called discoid lupus which involves sub-dermal fat and collagen in certain areas of the body, leaving very noticeable depressions and scaring. I had had an abdominal fat graft placed about 15 years ago but it was totally reabsorbed. Dr. Coleman performed lipostructure in Jan 2004 and Jan 2005. The abdominal fat was injected on both sides of my face. Around 40% was reabsorbed after 3 to 5 months of the first procedure, but there has been evident improvement, since jan 2005 Given that lupus is an active process that cannot be cured, I am very satisfied to see that this procedure has worked so well.

I was in a serious accident in 1995 which rendered my left gluteus muscle paralyzed. After five years of atrophy, the majority of the tissue was lost. Thanks to Dr. Coleman and his lipostructure procedure, the tissue loss is almost completely restored. I now feel confident when wearing a bathing suit thanks to Dr. Coleman’s remarkable procedure.

My two facial Liposculpture sessions by Sydney Coleman have exceeded my high expectations. I am a busy plastic surgeon who occasionally appears on television. My goal was to diminish the depressed cheek scarring from Acne and soften some of the atrophy of aging, especially on camera. His lipoaugmentation achieved an 80% correction. Not only am I frequently told how much better I look, but there is a softer texture to my face. I am both a student and collegial friend of Sydney and I found the entire experience educational and worthwhile. I am surprised at my improved self esteem. Again he proves himself the consummate master of LipoStructure.

Another surgeon who performed surgery for my drooping eyelids had removed too much fat and skin. After multiple surgeries to allow my eyes to close completely, my lids were scarred and my eyes looked hollowed out. The lid crease had actually moved to right below my eyebrows. I was also very uncomfortable with dry eyes. Dr. Coleman performed two procedures to add fat and reshape the area below my eyebrows. In addition to restoring the appearance of normal eyelids, I no longer have a problem with dry eyes. I had researched all possibilities before seeing Dr. Coleman and am convinced that Lipostructure is the only procedure that could have given me a successful result.

“I met Dr. Coleman in 2003. Before discovering Dr. Coleman, I had several skin peels and dermabrasions for various facial scars all performed by a board certified plastic surgeon. The plastic surgeon encouraged me to continue the procedures thinking the next one would “do the trick”. Overtime this philosophy left my face sullen, pigmented and stripped of the tops layers of skin. I finally went to another plastic surgeon for a second opinion. He looked at my sullen face and suggested Dr. Coleman. This plastic surgeon attended a seminar where Dr. Coleman presented his research on lipostructure. He suggested that I get a consultation from Dr. Coleman as he feared the procedures being performed on my face were leaving me with a new kind of facial deformity.

I had a consultation with Dr. Coleman who explained his LipoStructure technique in great detail. I remember his extensive picture taking of my face and his explanation of harvesting, purifying and then placing fat taken from other parts of my body (in my case my inner thighs) into my face for restructuring and contouring. At every step in the process, he explained in detail the expectations, risks and how the healing processes would evolve over time. He explained that it sometimes took a few procedures to get the fat interspersed correctly through out my face and that it was a very delicate procedure that needed a healing curve to optimize the results. Basically, the procedure needs a patient to be patient.

The procedure itself is not painful. You are under sedation/anesthesia by a licensed anesthesiologist and wake up with bandages on the areas where fat was removed and where it was re-deposited. His office staff is helpful and gives very clear directions as to how to care for the areas post operatively. Once the bandages are removed then the healing process begins. As a pharmacist, I can tell you that the healing curve is very patient specific. Some people bruise easier than others and some require more time for swelling to subside so there is no exact timeline for these healing steps. Most importantly since they are regulated by your own body clock, the steps can not be rushed. Also, if there is one point to reinforce is that you must follow directions given by the staff. For example, after a period of time, ice is not warranted nor is the use of steroids helpful to decrease any swelling. The swelling will go away over time and can not be rushed. I think that this is the hardest part that some find annoying and at times disconcerting. I found it helpful not to keep looking in the mirror - waiting for instant results because the results do not come instantly but rather evolve through a rejuvenating process, restoring what was loss through aging or in my case trauma. Over time the rejuvenating results are apparent. There is swelling, bruises, redness in the eyes and even a little discomfort post the procedure, but as time goes by all disappear and the results of the procedure are natural and rejuvenating.

The transplanted fat feels like normal body structures. If the transplanted fat is near bone or cartilage then it feels like bone or cartilage. The LipoStructure system feels natural to the touch. Using this technique, Dr. Coleman refined and restructured my face but most importantly brought back myself confidence. Would I do it again? Yes. It changed my life and gave me the self confidence I needed to reach my goals.“

First, the New York State Department of Health has NEVER taken any disciplinary action against Dr. Coleman.

Second, Dr. Coleman has NEVER been found liable for malpractice and no judgment in a malpractice lawsuit has ever been entered against him. The links to the New York State and Federal Court websites are another attempt to mislead and misinform.

Third, the complaint of Patient DD is completely unsubstantiated and is not part of a public record.

The photographs “chosen” to be displayed are not fair and accurate depictions of the results of Dr. Coleman’s treatment of these patients. These photographs are not comparable “before and after” presentations of the patients and show the results of surgeries that are unrelated to the fat grafting procedures performed by Dr. Coleman.

“I was referred to Dr. Coleman by a physician who said that as I grow older, my eyes will continue to appear more sunken, and my face was beginning to be gaunt. He highly recommended Dr. Coleman as the pioneer of lipostructure and as a person who could "fix" my growing problem. Indeed, after a partial treatment, my eyes and my face appear much fuller and more youthful. Since I am in the public constantly, I could not afford sufficient healing time to have everything that Dr. Coleman recommended done, but I most definitely plan to return for more. The change is subtle but significant. Yesterday I was asked if I were in my early forties, and I am 57! Dr. Coleman is more than a physician; he is an artist is his ability to visualize and design what a person wants. He listens carefully and shows great care in planning how to achieve the desired results. As soon as my work schedule allows, I am planning to return to Dr. Coleman to complete the process.“

“It was a wonderful experience! I just turned 60 and after a facelift with another doctor, I still had thin lips and still had all the vertical lines.

Dr. Coleman recontoured my lips and got rid of all of the lines. The shape is totally natural. It took 15 years off my lower face. He is really restored the bottom of my face. I am totally delighted. I cannot say enough on how great my lips look and how great I feel!”

-- Susan, New York

"I am in the beauty industry and I see lots of plastic surgery. Good or bad, there are always scars and a facelift only works the first time around. What makes Dr. Coleman's technique different is that it can turn back the clock a decade without any cutting. 10 years later it can be repeated with similar results. Lipostructure has restored the youthful fullness to my face, the kind I used to have when I was younger. In addition, my skin is smoother as well, because it has been filled out. All this without scars! I have had 2 procedures with Dr. Coleman, twelve years ago and a year and a half ago. Each time I am amazed at the long lasting natural looking results. No one can ever guess my real age, thanks to Dr. Coleman!"

I have a systemic disease called discoid lupus which involves sub-dermal fat and collagen in certain areas of the body, leaving very noticeable depressions and scaring. I had had an abdominal fat graft placed about 15 years ago but it was totally reabsorbed. Dr. Coleman performed lipostructure in Jan 2004 and Jan 2005. The abdominal fat was injected on both sides of my face. Around 40% was reabsorbed after 3 to 5 months of the first procedure, but there has been evident improvement, since jan 2005 Given that lupus is an active process that cannot be cured, I am very satisfied to see that this procedure has worked so well.

I was in a serious accident in 1995 which rendered my left gluteus muscle paralyzed. After five years of atrophy, the majority of the tissue was lost. Thanks to Dr. Coleman and his lipostructure procedure, the tissue loss is almost completely restored. I now feel confident when wearing a bathing suit thanks to Dr. Coleman’s remarkable procedure.

My two facial Liposculpture sessions by Sydney Coleman have exceeded my high expectations. I am a busy plastic surgeon who occasionally appears on television. My goal was to diminish the depressed cheek scarring from Acne and soften some of the atrophy of aging, especially on camera. His lipoaugmentation achieved an 80% correction. Not only am I frequently told how much better I look, but there is a softer texture to my face. I am both a student and collegial friend of Sydney and I found the entire experience educational and worthwhile. I am surprised at my improved self esteem. Again he proves himself the consummate master of LipoStructure.

Another surgeon who performed surgery for my drooping eyelids had removed too much fat and skin. After multiple surgeries to allow my eyes to close completely, my lids were scarred and my eyes looked hollowed out. The lid crease had actually moved to right below my eyebrows. I was also very uncomfortable with dry eyes. Dr. Coleman performed two procedures to add fat and reshape the area below my eyebrows. In addition to restoring the appearance of normal eyelids, I no longer have a problem with dry eyes. I had researched all possibilities before seeing Dr. Coleman and am convinced that Lipostructure is the only procedure that could have given me a successful result.

“I met Dr. Coleman in 2003. Before discovering Dr. Coleman, I had several skin peels and dermabrasions for various facial scars all performed by a board certified plastic surgeon. The plastic surgeon encouraged me to continue the procedures thinking the next one would “do the trick”. Overtime this philosophy left my face sullen, pigmented and stripped of the tops layers of skin. I finally went to another plastic surgeon for a second opinion. He looked at my sullen face and suggested Dr. Coleman. This plastic surgeon attended a seminar where Dr. Coleman presented his research on lipostructure. He suggested that I get a consultation from Dr. Coleman as he feared the procedures being performed on my face were leaving me with a new kind of facial deformity.

I had a consultation with Dr. Coleman who explained his LipoStructure technique in great detail. I remember his extensive picture taking of my face and his explanation of harvesting, purifying and then placing fat taken from other parts of my body (in my case my inner thighs) into my face for restructuring and contouring. At every step in the process, he explained in detail the expectations, risks and how the healing processes would evolve over time. He explained that it sometimes took a few procedures to get the fat interspersed correctly through out my face and that it was a very delicate procedure that needed a healing curve to optimize the results. Basically, the procedure needs a patient to be patient.

The procedure itself is not painful. You are under sedation/anesthesia by a licensed anesthesiologist and wake up with bandages on the areas where fat was removed and where it was re-deposited. His office staff is helpful and gives very clear directions as to how to care for the areas post operatively. Once the bandages are removed then the healing process begins. As a pharmacist, I can tell you that the healing curve is very patient specific. Some people bruise easier than others and some require more time for swelling to subside so there is no exact timeline for these healing steps. Most importantly since they are regulated by your own body clock, the steps can not be rushed. Also, if there is one point to reinforce is that you must follow directions given by the staff. For example, after a period of time, ice is not warranted nor is the use of steroids helpful to decrease any swelling. The swelling will go away over time and can not be rushed. I think that this is the hardest part that some find annoying and at times disconcerting. I found it helpful not to keep looking in the mirror - waiting for instant results because the results do not come instantly but rather evolve through a rejuvenating process, restoring what was loss through aging or in my case trauma. Over time the rejuvenating results are apparent. There is swelling, bruises, redness in the eyes and even a little discomfort post the procedure, but as time goes by all disappear and the results of the procedure are natural and rejuvenating.

The transplanted fat feels like normal body structures. If the transplanted fat is near bone or cartilage then it feels like bone or cartilage. The LipoStructure system feels natural to the touch. Using this technique, Dr. Coleman refined and restructured my face but most importantly brought back myself confidence. Would I do it again? Yes. It changed my life and gave me the self confidence I needed to reach my goals.“

First, the New York State Department of Health has NEVER taken any disciplinary action against Dr. Coleman.

Second, Dr. Coleman has NEVER been found liable for malpractice and no judgment in a malpractice lawsuit has ever been entered against him. The links to the New York State and Federal Court websites are another attempt to mislead and misinform.

Third, the complaint of Patient DD is completely unsubstantiated and is not part of a public record.

The photographs “chosen” to be displayed are not fair and accurate depictions of the results of Dr. Coleman’s treatment of these patients. These photographs are not comparable “before and after” presentations of the patients and show the results of surgeries that are unrelated to the fat grafting procedures performed by Dr. Coleman.

As anyone weighs the decision of undergoing plastic surgery, there are certain facts that all patients should consider:

Patients should realize that there is a recovery after any procedure, and that recovery is variable. Although most people look great by two months after fat grafting, the actual result may not be seen for as much as six months or even longer in rare circumstance.

It is not prudent have further procedures after any surgical procedure until most of the swelling has resolved.

Fat grafting, like any surgical procedure on humans, involves the manipulation of living tissues. The results of any procedure by any surgeon (urologist, gynecologist, otolaryngologist, et cetera) are not completely predictable. Secondary procedures may be necessary. We cannot compare surgical procedures or fat grafting to the purchase of an IPOD or Monte Blanc pen because molding living tissue is not as predictable as molding plastic or metal

You should always discuss any questions or concerns you have about your medical treatment, and specifically any surgical procedure you are considering with your physician.

"My association with Dr. Coleman and his fat transfer process commenced in March 2000 after I had thoroughly researched various ways to enhance my thinning facial profile. As a 41 year-old professional fitness trainer I was concerned that I was becoming too skeletal looking but I did not want to opt for more traditional means such as a face lift or artificial fillers.

At the conclusion of my first engagement, I was initially quite swollen and bruised, nevertheless, within a few months I was pleased with the results and thankful that I was left without visual scars which are inherent in many alternate measures. I have returned to Dr. Coleman on two other occasions so that he could address secondary areas which have surfaced since my initial visit. During each process, I have been treated with the utmost professionalism as his staff is sensitive to both my emotional and physical needs and willing to go the extra mile to ensure that every question is answered and ever need addressed.

In sum, I wholeheartedly endorse Dr. Coleman’s practice as he is a true professional who is dedicated to the intricate details that are presented by each and every patient."

"It is usually difficult to express accolades of any person. When it comes to Dr. Sydney Coleman it becomes an easy task.

Dr. Coleman has operated on me several times and has essentially restructed my face in such a natural manner that I have been able to improve my appearance beyond my expectations. I feel that my face is naturally youthful and the results of my fat implants have returned my youth. I also had fat implants on my neck and hands and without any other plastic surgery, have noticed that I appear 15 years younger.

My husband is an ophthalmologist and also performs blepharoplastic surgery. He was truly amazed at the results that I achieved with a minimal amount of surgery and with the fat implants injected around my eyes. My husband and I cannot recommend any other physician who has the natural ability to do this type of procedure as well as Dr. Coleman.

I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Sydney Coleman at any time for any procedure that he performs. Dr. Coleman is truly a gifted surgeon."

"The results of a traditional facelift left my face devoid of fat, looking unnatural and unhealthy. Dr. Coleman was able to reverse these effects with Lipostructure. The results of the procedure are outstanding. I have regained the look of my younger years, beyond my expectations. While the swelling and recovery time, from Lipostructure, are greater than with other procedures, the results warrant the process. My only regret is that I didn't learn about Lipostructure sooner."

The change is subtle but significant. Yesterday I was asked if I were in my early forties, and I am 57! Dr. Coleman is more than a physician; he is an artist is his ability to visualize and design what a person wants. He listens carefully and shows great care in planning how to achieve the desired results. As soon as my work schedule allows, I am planning to return to Dr. Coleman to complete the process.“

“It was a wonderful experience! I just turned 60 and after a facelift with another doctor, I still had thin lips and still had all the vertical lines.

Dr. Coleman recontoured my lips and got rid of all of the lines. The shape is totally natural. It took 15 years off my lower face. He is really restored the bottom of my face. I am totally delighted. I cannot say enough on how great my lips look and how great I feel!”

-- Susan, New York

"I am in the beauty industry and I see lots of plastic surgery. Good or bad, there are always scars and a facelift only works the first time around. What makes Dr. Coleman's technique different is that it can turn back the clock a decade without any cutting. 10 years later it can be repeated with similar results. Lipostructure has restored the youthful fullness to my face, the kind I used to have when I was younger. In addition, my skin is smoother as well, because it has been filled out. All this without scars! I have had 2 procedures with Dr. Coleman, twelve years ago and a year and a half ago. Each time I am amazed at the long lasting natural looking results. No one can ever guess my real age, thanks to Dr. Coleman!"

I have a systemic disease called discoid lupus which involves sub-dermal fat and collagen in certain areas of the body, leaving very noticeable depressions and scaring. I had had an abdominal fat graft placed about 15 years ago but it was totally reabsorbed. Dr. Coleman performed lipostructure in Jan 2004 and Jan 2005. The abdominal fat was injected on both sides of my face. Around 40% was reabsorbed after 3 to 5 months of the first procedure, but there has been evident improvement, since jan 2005 Given that lupus is an active process that cannot be cured, I am very satisfied to see that this procedure has worked so well.

I was in a serious accident in 1995 which rendered my left gluteus muscle paralyzed. After five years of atrophy, the majority of the tissue was lost. Thanks to Dr. Coleman and his lipostructure procedure, the tissue loss is almost completely restored. I now feel confident when wearing a bathing suit thanks to Dr. Coleman’s remarkable procedure.

My two facial Liposculpture sessions by Sydney Coleman have exceeded my high expectations. I am a busy plastic surgeon who occasionally appears on television. My goal was to diminish the depressed cheek scarring from Acne and soften some of the atrophy of aging, especially on camera. His lipoaugmentation achieved an 80% correction. Not only am I frequently told how much better I look, but there is a softer texture to my face. I am both a student and collegial friend of Sydney and I found the entire experience educational and worthwhile. I am surprised at my improved self esteem. Again he proves himself the consummate master of LipoStructure.

Another surgeon who performed surgery for my drooping eyelids had removed too much fat and skin. After multiple surgeries to allow my eyes to close completely, my lids were scarred and my eyes looked hollowed out. The lid crease had actually moved to right below my eyebrows. I was also very uncomfortable with dry eyes. Dr. Coleman performed two procedures to add fat and reshape the area below my eyebrows. In addition to restoring the appearance of normal eyelids, I no longer have a problem with dry eyes. I had researched all possibilities before seeing Dr. Coleman and am convinced that Lipostructure is the only procedure that could have given me a successful result.

“I met Dr. Coleman in 2003. Before discovering Dr. Coleman, I had several skin peels and dermabrasions for various facial scars all performed by a board certified plastic surgeon. The plastic surgeon encouraged me to continue the procedures thinking the next one would “do the trick”. Overtime this philosophy left my face sullen, pigmented and stripped of the tops layers of skin. I finally went to another plastic surgeon for a second opinion. He looked at my sullen face and suggested Dr. Coleman. This plastic surgeon attended a seminar where Dr. Coleman presented his research on lipostructure. He suggested that I get a consultation from Dr. Coleman as he feared the procedures being performed on my face were leaving me with a new kind of facial deformity.

I had a consultation with Dr. Coleman who explained his LipoStructure technique in great detail. I remember his extensive picture taking of my face and his explanation of harvesting, purifying and then placing fat taken from other parts of my body (in my case my inner thighs) into my face for restructuring and contouring. At every step in the process, he explained in detail the expectations, risks and how the healing processes would evolve over time. He explained that it sometimes took a few procedures to get the fat interspersed correctly through out my face and that it was a very delicate procedure that needed a healing curve to optimize the results. Basically, the procedure needs a patient to be patient.

The procedure itself is not painful. You are under sedation/anesthesia by a licensed anesthesiologist and wake up with bandages on the areas where fat was removed and where it was re-deposited. His office staff is helpful and gives very clear directions as to how to care for the areas post operatively. Once the bandages are removed then the healing process begins. As a pharmacist, I can tell you that the healing curve is very patient specific. Some people bruise easier than others and some require more time for swelling to subside so there is no exact timeline for these healing steps. Most importantly since they are regulated by your own body clock, the steps can not be rushed. Also, if there is one point to reinforce is that you must follow directions given by the staff. For example, after a period of time, ice is not warranted nor is the use of steroids helpful to decrease any swelling. The swelling will go away over time and can not be rushed. I think that this is the hardest part that some find annoying and at times disconcerting. I found it helpful not to keep looking in the mirror - waiting for instant results because the results do not come instantly but rather evolve through a rejuvenating process, restoring what was loss through aging or in my case trauma. Over time the rejuvenating results are apparent. There is swelling, bruises, redness in the eyes and even a little discomfort post the procedure, but as time goes by all disappear and the results of the procedure are natural and rejuvenating.

The transplanted fat feels like normal body structures. If the transplanted fat is near bone or cartilage then it feels like bone or cartilage. The LipoStructure system feels natural to the touch. Using this technique, Dr. Coleman refined and restructured my face but most importantly brought back myself confidence. Would I do it again? Yes. It changed my life and gave me the self confidence I needed to reach my goals.“

First, the New York State Department of Health has NEVER taken any disciplinary action against Dr. Coleman.

Second, Dr. Coleman has NEVER been found liable for malpractice and no judgment in a malpractice lawsuit has ever been entered against him. The links to the New York State and Federal Court websites are another attempt to mislead and misinform.

Third, the complaint of Patient DD is completely unsubstantiated and is not part of a public record.

The photographs “chosen” to be displayed are not fair and accurate depictions of the results of Dr. Coleman’s treatment of these patients. These photographs are not comparable “before and after” presentations of the patients and show the results of surgeries that are unrelated to the fat grafting procedures performed by Dr. Coleman.

As anyone weighs the decision of undergoing plastic surgery, there are certain facts that all patients should consider:

Patients should realize that there is a recovery after any procedure, and that recovery is variable. Although most people look great by two months after fat grafting, the actual result may not be seen for as much as six months or even longer in rare circumstance.

It is not prudent have further procedures after any surgical procedure until most of the swelling has resolved.

Fat grafting, like any surgical procedure on humans, involves the manipulation of living tissues. The results of any procedure by any surgeon (urologist, gynecologist, otolaryngologist, et cetera) are not completely predictable. Secondary procedures may be necessary. We cannot compare surgical procedures or fat grafting to the purchase of an IPOD or Monte Blanc pen because molding living tissue is not as predictable as molding plastic or metal

You should always discuss any questions or concerns you have about your medical treatment, and specifically any surgical procedure you are considering with your physician.

"My association with Dr. Coleman and his fat transfer process commenced in March 2000 after I had thoroughly researched various ways to enhance my thinning facial profile. As a 41 year-old professional fitness trainer I was concerned that I was becoming too skeletal looking but I did not want to opt for more traditional means such as a face lift or artificial fillers.

At the conclusion of my first engagement, I was initially quite swollen and bruised, nevertheless, within a few months I was pleased with the results and thankful that I was left without visual scars which are inherent in many alternate measures. I have returned to Dr. Coleman on two other occasions so that he could address secondary areas which have surfaced since my initial visit. During each process, I have been treated with the utmost professionalism as his staff is sensitive to both my emotional and physical needs and willing to go the extra mile to ensure that every question is answered and ever need addressed.

In sum, I wholeheartedly endorse Dr. Coleman’s practice as he is a true professional who is dedicated to the intricate details that are presented by each and every patient."

"It is usually difficult to express accolades of any person. When it comes to Dr. Sydney Coleman it becomes an easy task.

Dr. Coleman has operated on me several times and has essentially restructed my face in such a natural manner that I have been able to improve my appearance beyond my expectations. I feel that my face is naturally youthful and the results of my fat implants have returned my youth. I also had fat implants on my neck and hands and without any other plastic surgery, have noticed that I appear 15 years younger.

My husband is an ophthalmologist and also performs blepharoplastic surgery. He was truly amazed at the results that I achieved with a minimal amount of surgery and with the fat implants injected around my eyes. My husband and I cannot recommend any other physician who has the natural ability to do this type of procedure as well as Dr. Coleman.

I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Sydney Coleman at any time for any procedure that he performs. Dr. Coleman is truly a gifted surgeon."

-- Florence S., New Jersey

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"The results of a traditional facelift left my face devoid of fat, looking unnatural and unhealthy. Dr. Coleman was able to reverse these effects with Lipostructure. The results of the procedure are outstanding. I have regained the look of my younger years, beyond my expectations. While the swelling and recovery time, from Lipostructure, are greater than with other procedures, the results warrant the process. My only regret is that I didn't learn about Lipostructure sooner."

Buyer beware!

Complaint Rating:
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!

"Thank you for your professionalism, your sensitivity and above all, your expertise delivery of results. In 2000 I came to you with severe acne scars; you sat down with me, carefully explained your recommendations and walked through the procedure. I was so happy with the outcome and have recently come back for additional surgery. Your staff is very friendly and caring, I always felt completely comfortable. I am truly grateful, thank you."

-- Christopher, Corporate Public Relations

“Just going to Dr. Coleman’s office makes my day. He is a skilled, caring surgeon who’s integrity level is so high. I am so pleased with my results. I would use him again for anything. My skin has never looked better. It’s the best money I ever spent.”

-- Sherry, New York City

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“I just wanted to write you this letter to express how thankful I am. Back in 2001 when I first walked in your office, I was scared; and never thought you would be able to make me look as good as you have. For a whole year I was so depressed looking in the mirror, but you have changed that. Thank you, I am so happy. I live so far away, but I would never go anywhere else, nor would I ever let anyone touch my face but you. I will continue to tell all my friends and family how great you are because you changed my life…thank you again.”

-- Sandra, Michigan

“I came to Dr. Coleman at age 38, looking 45 or older. I also had severe acne scarring coupled with surgical scars from previous, unsuccessful corrective surgeries. Dr. Coleman performed lipostructure on my facial scarring and on other, prematurely aged areas of my face. Today, most of my acne scars are gone and, at age 41, I don't look a day over 35. Most importantly, however, I no longer hide at home, consumed with anxiety over my haggard and disfigured appearance. Instead, I leave the house each day feeling confident about the way I look and able to focus on the outside world and what I want to achieve in it. Lipostructure has improved not only my physical appearance but my overall quality of life.”

-- Karen, Retired, New Jersey

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“I have found Dr. Coleman to be a highly credentialed medical professional who possesses the artistic sensitivities and awareness of a sculpture. He is constantly looking for ways to improve and refine his art, which is why I trust him to reduce the tell-tale signs of aging on my face, which has enabled me to feel happier and more confident about my appearance.”

-- Marion, New York

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“My before an after pictures speak for themselves, so I guess that’s all I have to say. I just want to thank Dr. Colman and everyone else in Tribeca Plastic Surgery for your professionalism.”

-- Barbara, Art Dealer, Mexico

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“I was referred to Dr. Coleman by a physician who said that as I grow older, my eyes will continue to appear more sunken, and my face was beginning to be gaunt. He highly recommended Dr. Coleman as the pioneer of lipostructure and as a person who could "fix" my growing problem. Indeed, after a partial treatment, my eyes and my face appear much fuller and more youthful. Since I am in the public constantly, I could not afford sufficient healing time to have everything that Dr. Coleman recommended done, but I most definitely plan to return for more.

First, the New York State Department of Health has NEVER taken any disciplinary action against Dr. Coleman.

Second, Dr. Coleman has NEVER been found liable for malpractice and no judgment in a malpractice lawsuit has ever been entered against him. The links to the New York State and Federal Court websites are another attempt to mislead and misinform.

Third, the complaint of Patient DD is completely unsubstantiated and is not part of a public record.

The photographs “chosen” to be displayed are not fair and accurate depictions of the results of Dr. Coleman’s treatment of these patients. These photographs are not comparable “before and after” presentations of the patients and show the results of surgeries that are unrelated to the fat grafting procedures performed by Dr. Coleman.

As anyone weighs the decision of undergoing plastic surgery, there are certain facts that all patients should consider:

Patients should realize that there is a recovery after any procedure, and that recovery is variable. Although most people look great by two months after fat grafting, the actual result may not be seen for as much as six months or even longer in rare circumstance.

It is not prudent have further procedures after any surgical procedure until most of the swelling has resolved.

Fat grafting, like any surgical procedure on humans, involves the manipulation of living tissues. The results of any procedure by any surgeon (urologist, gynecologist, otolaryngologist, et cetera) are not completely predictable. Secondary procedures may be necessary. We cannot compare surgical procedures or fat grafting to the purchase of an IPOD or Monte Blanc pen because molding living tissue is not as predictable as molding plastic or metal

You should always discuss any questions or concerns you have about your medical treatment, and specifically any surgical procedure you are considering with your physician.

"My association with Dr. Coleman and his fat transfer process commenced in March 2000 after I had thoroughly researched various ways to enhance my thinning facial profile. As a 41 year-old professional fitness trainer I was concerned that I was becoming too skeletal looking but I did not want to opt for more traditional means such as a face lift or artificial fillers.

At the conclusion of my first engagement, I was initially quite swollen and bruised, nevertheless, within a few months I was pleased with the results and thankful that I was left without visual scars which are inherent in many alternate measures. I have returned to Dr. Coleman on two other occasions so that he could address secondary areas which have surfaced since my initial visit. During each process, I have been treated with the utmost professionalism as his staff is sensitive to both my emotional and physical needs and willing to go the extra mile to ensure that every question is answered and ever need addressed.

In sum, I wholeheartedly endorse Dr. Coleman’s practice as he is a true professional who is dedicated to the intricate details that are presented by each and every patient."

Dr. Coleman has operated on me several times and has essentially restructed my face in such a natural manner that I have been able to improve my appearance beyond my expectations. I feel that my face is naturally youthful and the results of my fat implants have returned my youth. I also had fat implants on my neck and hands and without any other plastic surgery, have noticed that I appear 15 years younger.

My husband is an ophthalmologist and also performs blepharoplastic surgery. He was truly amazed at the results that I achieved with a minimal amount of surgery and with the fat implants injected around my eyes. My husband and I cannot recommend any other physician who has the natural ability to do this type of procedure as well as Dr. Coleman.

"The results of a traditional facelift left my face devoid of fat, looking unnatural and unhealthy. Dr. Coleman was able to reverse these effects with Lipostructure. The results of the procedure are outstanding. I have regained the look of my younger years, beyond my expectations. While the swelling and recovery time, from Lipostructure, are greater than with other procedures, the results warrant the process. My only regret is that I didn't learn about Lipostructure sooner."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I had my LipoStructure face procedure performed on 12/27/05 and I must confess that my recovery was so slow, I thought, never to see my face looking normal again. Then all of a sudden, just like Dr. Coleman promised, the swelling and bruising are mostly gone and of as today’s date 3/21/06, I do have minor swelling and slight bruising but, for the most part, I finally feel great about myself and people around me love the results, as well.

THERE IS A LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL!

“I came to Dr. Coleman at age 38, looking 45 or older. I also had severe acne scarring coupled with surgical scars from previous, unsuccessful corrective surgeries. Dr. Coleman performed lipostructure on my facial scarring and on other, prematurely aged areas of my face. Today, most of my acne scars are gone and, at age 41, I don't look a day over 35. Most importantly, however, I no longer hide at home, consumed with anxiety over my haggard and disfigured appearance. Instead, I leave the house each day feeling confident about the way I look and able to focus on the outside world and what I want to achieve in it. Lipostructure has improved not only my physical appearance but my overall quality of life.”

“I was referred to Dr. Coleman by a physician who said that as I grow older, my eyes will continue to appear more sunken, and my face was beginning to be gaunt. He highly recommended Dr. Coleman as the pioneer of lipostructure and as a person who could "fix" my growing problem. Indeed, after a partial treatment, my eyes and my face appear much fuller and more youthful. Since I am in the public constantly, I could not afford sufficient healing time to have everything that Dr. Coleman recommended done, but I most definitely plan to return for more. The change is subtle but significant. Yesterday I was asked if I were in my early forties, and I am 57! Dr. Coleman is more than a physician; he is an artist is his ability to visualize and design what a person wants. He listens carefully and shows great care in planning how to achieve the desired results. As soon as my work schedule allows, I am planning to return to Dr. Coleman to complete

“It was a wonderful experience! I just turned 60 and after a facelift with another doctor, I still had thin lips and still had all the vertical lines.

Dr. Coleman recontoured my lips and got rid of all of the lines. The shape is totally natural. It took 15 years off my lower face. He is really restored the bottom of my face. I am totally delighted. I cannot say enough on how great my lips look and how great I feel!”

-- Susan, New York

"I am in the beauty industry and I see lots of plastic surgery. Good or bad, there are always scars and a facelift only works the first time around. What makes Dr. Coleman's technique different is that it can turn back the clock a decade without any cutting. 10 years later it can be repeated with similar results. Lipostructure has restored the youthful fullness to my face, the kind I used to have when I was younger. In addition, my skin is smoother as well, because it has been filled out. All this without scars! I have had 2 procedures with Dr. Coleman, twelve years ago and a year and a half ago. Each time I am amazed at the long lasting natural looking results. No one can ever guess my real age, thanks to Dr. Coleman!"

I have a systemic disease called discoid lupus which involves sub-dermal fat and collagen in certain areas of the body, leaving very noticeable depressions and scaring. I had had an abdominal fat graft placed about 15 years ago but it was totally reabsorbed. Dr. Coleman performed lipostructure in Jan 2004 and Jan 2005. The abdominal fat was injected on both sides of my face. Around 40% was reabsorbed after 3 to 5 months of the first procedure, but there has been evident improvement, since jan 2005 Given that lupus is an active process that cannot be cured, I am very satisfied to see that this procedure has worked so well.

I was in a serious accident in 1995 which rendered my left gluteus muscle paralyzed. After five years of atrophy, the majority of the tissue was lost. Thanks to Dr. Coleman and his lipostructure procedure, the tissue loss is almost completely restored. I now feel confident when wearing a bathing suit thanks to Dr. Coleman’s remarkable procedure.

My two facial Liposculpture sessions by Sydney Coleman have exceeded my high expectations. I am a busy plastic surgeon who occasionally appears on television. My goal was to diminish the depressed cheek scarring from Acne and soften some of the atrophy of aging, especially on camera. His lipoaugmentation achieved an 80% correction. Not only am I frequently told how much better I look, but there is a softer texture to my face. I am both a student and collegial friend of Sydney and I found the entire experience educational and worthwhile. I am surprised at my improved self esteem. Again he proves himself the consummate master of LipoStructure.

Another surgeon who performed surgery for my drooping eyelids had removed too much fat and skin. After multiple surgeries to allow my eyes to close completely, my lids were scarred and my eyes looked hollowed out. The lid crease had actually moved to right below my eyebrows. I was also very uncomfortable with dry eyes. Dr. Coleman performed two procedures to add fat and reshape the area below my eyebrows. In addition to restoring the appearance of normal eyelids, I no longer have a problem with dry eyes. I had researched all possibilities before seeing Dr. Coleman and am convinced that Lipostructure is the only procedure that could have given me a successful result.

-- Eileen, System Analyst, Maryland

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“I met Dr. Coleman in 2003. Before discovering Dr. Coleman, I had several skin peels and dermabrasions for various facial scars all performed by a board certified plastic surgeon. The plastic surgeon encouraged me to continue the procedures thinking the next one would “do the trick”. Overtime this philosophy left my face sullen, pigmented and stripped of the tops layers of skin. I finally went to another plastic surgeon for a second opinion. He looked at my sullen face and suggested Dr. Coleman. This plastic surgeon attended a seminar where Dr. Coleman presented his research on lipostructure. He suggested that I get a consultation from Dr. Coleman as he feared the procedures being performed on my face were leaving me with a new kind of facial deformity.

I had a consultation with Dr. Coleman who explained his LipoStructure technique in great detail. I remember his extensive picture taking of my face and his explanation of harvesting, purifying and then placing fat taken from other parts of my body (in my case my inner thighs) into my face for restructuring and contouring. At every step in the process, he explained in detail the expectations, risks and how the healing processes would evolve over time. He explained that it sometimes took a few procedures to get the fat interspersed correctly through out my face and that it was a very delicate procedure that needed a healing curve to optimize the results. Basically, the procedure needs a patient to be patient.

The procedure itself is not painful. You are under sedation/anesthesia by a licensed anesthesiologist and wake up with bandages on the areas where fat was removed and where it was re-deposited. His office staff is helpful and gives very clear directions as to how to care for the areas post operatively. Once the bandages are removed then the healing process begins. As a pharmacist, I can tell you that the healing curve is very patient specific. Some people bruise easier than others and some require more time for swelling to subside so there is no exact timeline for these healing steps. Most importantly since they are regulated by your own body clock, the steps can not be rushed. Also, if there is one point to reinforce is that you must follow directions given by the staff. For example, after a period of time, ice is not warranted nor is the use of steroids helpful to decrease any swelling. The swelling will go away over time and can not be rushed. I think that this is the hardest part that some find annoying and at times disconcerting. I found it helpful not to keep looking in the mirror - waiting for instant results because the results do not come instantly but rather evolve through a rejuvenating process, restoring what was loss through aging or in my case trauma. Over time the rejuvenating results are apparent. There is swelling, bruises, redness in the eyes and even a little discomfort post the procedure, but as time goes by all disappear and the results of the procedure are natural and rejuvenating.

"The results of a traditional facelift left my face devoid of fat, looking unnatural and unhealthy. Dr. Coleman was able to reverse these effects with Lipostructure. The results of the procedure are outstanding. I have regained the look of my younger years, beyond my expectations. While the swelling and recovery time, from Lipostructure, are greater than with other procedures, the results warrant the process. My only regret is that I didn't learn about Lipostructure sooner."

-- Nancy H., New York

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I had my LipoStructure face procedure performed on 12/27/05 and I must confess that my recovery was so slow, I thought, never to see my face looking normal again. Then all of a sudden, just like Dr. Coleman promised, the swelling and bruising are mostly gone and of as today’s date 3/21/06, I do have minor swelling and slight bruising but, for the most part, I finally feel great about myself and people around me love the results, as well.

THERE IS A LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL!

My total experience with Tribeca Plastic Surgery Facility was always positive. During my recovery I had constant doubts and concerns and I did frequent the office more then usual. The staff and the doctors were always patient and accommodating to all my emotional and physical needs."

"Thank you

ONE DOCTOR WRITES ( IN A MEDICAL BOOK) PREVENTING PROBLEMS IN FAT GRAFTING IS QUITE SIMPLE.
UNFORTUNATLY, OVERCORRECTION IS A GREATER PROBLEM FOR REPAIR THAN UNDERCORRECTION.
NO MORE THAN ONE CC OF FAT CAN BE PLACED UNDER THE EYELIDS AND IT MUST BE PLACED UNDER THE ORBICULARIS MUSCLE WITH GREAT CARE. ONE HUNDRED PERCENT OF FAT IN THIS POSITION IS RETAINED. IF NOT DONE PROPERLY, IT BECOMES LUMPY AND CANNOT BE CORRECTED.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO REMOVE TOO MUCH FAT FROM THE DONOR AREA OR YOU WILL BE FAT GRAFTING TO THIS SITE IN THE FUTURE TO CORRECT DENTS.
FAT IS INJECTED WITH 1CC SYRINGES IN MANY PASSES. I DO NOT USE AS MANY PASSES AS COLEMAN DOES, AND I DO NOT USE AS MUCH FAT. I RARELY USE MORE THAN 40G OF FAT ON THE FACE. SIDNEY SOMETIMES USES 5 TIMES THAT. I RARELY MAKE MORE THAN 4 OR 5 PASSES PER MILLILITER. SIDNEY USES 4 OR 5 TIMES THAT.
I USE MEDROL DOSEPAK IN THE POSTOPERATIVE PERIOD SIDNEY DOES NOT USE STEROIDS.
DO NOT USE TOO MUCH FAT. YOU CANNOT COUNT ON IT DISAPPEARING. MAINTAIN A MINIMUL OVERCORRECTION IN ALMOST ALL AREAS.
WE CAN BE BETTER SURGEONS IF WE DO NOT HAVE WORRIES ABOUT OUR PREVIOUS PATIENTS.
ETC, ETC, ETC.

I SUPPOSE I CAN GO ON AND ON. I AM ONLY SORRY THAT I DID NOT READ ALL THE ARTICLES OFFERED IN MEDICAL JOURNALS AND TEXT BOOKS BEFORE I HAD SURGERY WITH COLEMAN. AND BY THE WAY, HE IS NOT THE INVENTOR OF ANYTHING. SIDNEY RELPCATED THE SUCCESS OF DR.--------------- AND I BELIEVE THE FRENCH WERE THE FIRST TO EXPERIMENT WIT THIS TECHNIQUE. UNFORTUNATLY, IT IS STILL TO THIS DATE, AN EXPERIMENT.

THERE ARE SO SO MAMNY ARTICLES SIMILAR TO THE ABOVE POSTED ONE. YOU JUST HAVE TO KNOW WHERE TO LOOK FOR THEM.

If it helps you at all... keep doing this. I wish the person stringing these testimonials would stop. I looked at the pictures and... would that be the result I would want...NO. But I am not sure what you were trying for. You were beautiful before and still are. If you were my wife, I would not care. I say what I feel. Also, my biggest beef with you is that essentially your words betray a truly intelligent woman that seems to be lingering with this. Really, you are very articulate and could really go far. I really am not a hater of you.

e photographs “chosen” to be displayed are not fair and accurate depictions of the results of Dr. Coleman’s treatment of these patients. These photographs are not comparable “before and after” presentations of the patients and show the results of surgeries that are unrelated to the fat grafting procedures performed by Dr. Coleman.

As anyone weighs the decision of undergoing plastic surgery, there are certain facts that all patients should consider:

Patients should realize that there is a recovery after any procedure, and that recovery is variable. Although most people look great by two months after fat grafting, the actual result may not be seen for as much as six months or even longer in rare circumstance.

It is not prudent have further procedures after any surgical procedure until most of the swelling has resolved.

Fat grafting, like any surgical procedure on humans, involves the manipulation of living tissues. The results of any procedure by any surgeon (urologist, gynecologist, otolaryngologist, et cetera) are not completely predictable. Secondary procedures may be necessary. We cannot compare surgical procedures or fat grafting to the purchase of an IPOD or Monte Blanc pen because molding living tissue is not as predictable as molding plastic or metal

You should always discuss any questions or concerns you have about your medical treatment, and specifically any surgical procedure you are considering with your physician.

"My association with Dr. Coleman and his fat transfer process commenced in March 2000 after I had thoroughly researched various ways to enhance my thinning facial profile. As a 41 year-old professional fitness trainer I was concerned that I was becoming too skeletal looking but I did not want to opt for more traditional means such as a face lift or artificial fillers.

At the conclusion of my first engagement, I was initially quite swollen and bruised, nevertheless, within a few months I was pleased with the results and thankful that I was left without visual scars which are inherent in many alternate measures. I have returned to Dr. Coleman on two other occasions so that he could address secondary areas which have surfaced since my initial visit. During each process, I have been treated with the utmost professionalism as his staff is sensitive to both my emotional and physical needs and willing to go the extra mile to ensure that every question is answered and ever need addressed.

In sum, I wholeheartedly endorse Dr. Coleman’s practice as he is a true professional who is dedicated to the intricate details that are presented by each and every patient."

"It is usually difficult to express accolades of any person. When it comes to Dr. Sydney Coleman it becomes an easy task.

Dr. Coleman has operated on me several times and has essentially restructed my face in such a natural manner that I have been able to improve my appearance beyond my expectations. I feel that my face is naturally youthful and the results of my fat implants have returned my youth. I also had fat implants on my neck and hands and without any other plastic surgery, have noticed that I appear 15 years younger.

My husband is an ophthalmologist and also performs blepharoplastic surgery. He was truly amazed at the results that I achieved with a minimal amount of surgery and with the fat implants injected around my eyes. My husband and I cannot recommend any other physician who has the natural ability to do this type of procedure as well as Dr. Coleman.

Dr. Coleman performed lipostructure on my facial scarring and on other, prematurely aged areas of my face. Today, most of my acne scars are gone and, at age 41, I don't look a day over 35. Most importantly, however, I no longer hide at home, consumed with anxiety over my haggard and disfigured appearance. Instead, I leave the house each day feeling confident about the way I look and able to focus on the outside world and what I want to achieve in it.

“I was referred to Dr. Coleman by a physician who said that as I grow older, my eyes will continue to appear more sunken, and my face was beginning to be gaunt. He highly recommended Dr. Coleman as the pioneer of lipostructure and as a person who could "fix" my growing problem. Indeed, after a partial treatment, my eyes and my face appear much fuller and more youthful. Since I am in the public constantly, I could not afford sufficient healing time to have everything that Dr. Coleman recommended done, but I most definitely plan to return for more. The change is subtle but significant. Yesterday I was asked if I were in my early forties, and I am 57! Dr. Coleman is more than a physician; he is an artist is his ability to visualize and design what a person wants. He listens carefully and shows great care in planning how to achieve the desired results. As soon as my work schedule allows, I am planning to return to Dr. Coleman to complete

“It was a wonderful experience! I just turned 60 and after a facelift with another doctor, I still had thin lips and still had all the vertical lines.

Dr. Coleman recontoured my lips and got rid of all of the lines. The shape is totally natural. It took 15 years off my lower face. He is really restored the bottom of my face. I am totally delighted. I cannot say enough on how great my lips look and how great I feel!”

"I am in the beauty industry and I see lots of plastic surgery. Good or bad, there are always scars and a facelift only works the first time around. What makes Dr. Coleman's technique different is that it can turn back the clock a decade without any cutting. 10 years later it can be repeated with similar results. Lipostructure has restored the youthful fullness to my face, the kind I used to have when I was younger. In addition, my skin is smoother as well, because it has been filled out. All this without scars! I have had 2 procedures with Dr. Coleman, twelve years ago and a year and a half ago. Each time I am amazed at the long lasting natural looking results. No one can ever guess my real age, thanks to Dr. Coleman!"

I have a systemic disease called discoid lupus which involves sub-dermal fat and collagen in certain areas of the body, leaving very noticeable depressions and scaring. I had had an abdominal fat graft placed about 15 years ago but it was totally reabsorbed. Dr. Coleman performed lipostructure in Jan 2004 and Jan 2005. The abdominal fat was injected on both sides of my face. Around 40% was reabsorbed after 3 to 5 months of the first procedure, but there has been evident improvement, since jan 2005 Given that lupus is an active process that cannot be cured, I am very satisfied to see that this procedure has worked so well.

I was in a serious accident in 1995 which rendered my left gluteus muscle paralyzed. After five years of atrophy, the majority of the tissue was lost. Thanks to Dr. Coleman and his lipostructure procedure, the tissue loss is almost completely restored. I now feel confident when wearing a bathing suit thanks to Dr. Coleman’s remarkable procedure.

My two facial Liposculpture sessions by Sydney Coleman have exceeded my high expectations. I am a busy plastic surgeon who occasionally appears on television. My goal was to diminish the depressed cheek scarring from Acne and soften some of the atrophy of aging, especially on camera. His lipoaugmentation achieved an 80% correction. Not only am I frequently told how much better I look, but there is a softer texture to my face. I am both a student and collegial friend of Sydney and I found the entire experience educational and worthwhile. I am surprised at my improved self esteem. Again he proves himself the consummate master of LipoStructure.

-- Dr. H., Plastic Surgeon, Pennsylvania

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another surgeon who performed surgery for my drooping eyelids had removed too much fat and skin. After multiple surgeries to allow my eyes to close completely, my lids were scarred and my eyes looked hollowed out. The lid crease had actually moved to right below my eyebrows. I was also very uncomfortable with dry eyes. Dr. Coleman performed two procedures to add fat and reshape the area below my eyebrows. In addition to restoring the appearance of normal eyelids, I no longer have a problem with dry eyes. I had researched all possibilities before seeing Dr. Coleman and am convinced that Lipostructure is the only procedure that could have given me a successful result.

-- Eileen, System Analyst, Maryland

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“I met Dr. Coleman in 2003. Before discovering Dr. Coleman, I had several skin peels and dermabrasions for various facial scars all performed by a board certified plastic surgeon. The plastic surgeon encouraged me to continue the procedures thinking the next one would “do the trick”. Overtime this philosophy left my face sullen, pigmented and stripped of the tops layers of skin. I finally went to another plastic surgeon for a second opinion. He looked at my sullen face and suggested Dr. Coleman. This plastic surgeon attended a seminar where Dr. Coleman presented his research on lipostructure. He suggested that I get a consultation from Dr. Coleman as he feared the procedures being performed on my face were leaving me with a new kind of facial deformity.

I had a consultation with Dr. Coleman who explained his LipoStructure technique in great detail. I remember his extensive picture taking of my face and his explanation of harvesting, purifying and then placing fat taken from other parts of my body (in my case my inner thighs) into my face for restructuring and contouring. At every step in the process, he explained in detail the expectations, risks and how the healing processes would evolve over time. He explained that it sometimes took a few procedures to get the fat interspersed correctly through out my face and that it was a very delicate procedure that needed a healing curve to optimize the results. Basically, the procedure needs a patient to be patient.

The procedure itself is not painful. You are under sedation/anesthesia by a licensed anesthesiologist and wake up with bandages on the areas where fat was removed and where it was re-deposited. His office staff is helpful and gives very clear directions as to how to care for the areas post operatively. Once the bandages are removed then the healing process begins. As a pharmacist, I can tell you that the healing curve is very patient specific. Some people bruise easier than others and some require more time for swelling to subside so there is no exact timeline for these healing steps. Most importantly since they are regulated by your own body clock, the steps can not be rushed. Also, if there is one point to reinforce is that you must follow directions given by the staff. For example, after a period of time, ice is not warranted nor is the use of steroids helpful to decrease any swelling. The swelling will go away over time and can not be rushed. I think that this is the hardest part that some find annoying and at times disconcerting. I found it helpful not to keep looking in the mirror - waiting for instant results because the results do not come instantly but rather evolve through a rejuvenating process, restoring what was loss through aging or in my case trauma. Over time the rejuvenating results are apparent. There is swelling, bruises, redness in the eyes and even a little discomfort post the procedure, but as time goes by all disappear and the results of the procedure are natural and rejuvenating.

The transplanted fat feels like normal body structures. If the transplanted fat is near bone or cartilage then it feels like bone or cartilage. The LipoStructure system feels natural to the touch. Using this technique, Dr. Coleman refined and restructured my face but most importantly brought back myself confidence. Would I do it again? Yes. It changed my life and gave me the self confidence I needed to reach my goals.“

? When I continue to hear more and more stories of this total F-up in socitey...Coleman...I start t feel so angry that this ### has gotten away with this for so long. It is true, he kills people. The results of his mutilations have robbed us of life.

It is such a struggle for me to pick up the pieces. It is slow and this board has given me strength to speak out, cry out, tell everyone what Coleman has done to me. Call it whining Joe, but when those men came forward about the pedophiles in the Catholic Church, it opened up doors...people listened to what had always been hidden, covered up...to painful to talk about.

Suddenly the world was listening and the exposure has caused a nice shake up in the church! They have had to compensate, sell properties, pay out and lose the respect of the world.

Well Coleman has lost what little respect he had left and he will be selling his property to pay out at some point, because we are hunting him down with our exposure and lawsuits.

He is not any better than a pedophile protected by the church, just as the judicial system has protected him. But there comes a point when too many people start talking and people take notice. The time has come.

Hey, what is the name of that site Coleman posts on? Is it FaceTalk.com? I would like to post my pictures there. Are there any other places soemone can recommend. By the way all, you have my permission to post my pictures on any sites that will expose Coleman.

Coming out of the woodwork Syd, another poster after seeing my pictures on The New Image Site!

Their comment was:

I went through this too but thankfully, I was one of the luckier ones and it is really only around my eyes that it looked full and freaky, some 9 years later. I am still shocked to see posts by people on the net NOT knowing that Dr. Coleman is a monster. I used to be a regular on here and told people what happened to me and there were MANY others over the years who posted, all with the same story. He placed fat where I DID NOT authorize him and REFUSED to talk to me even a single time, ever after surgery. I called for a year begging for his help. I learned the hard way that is has a god complex and does not care if he hurts people. I used to be in contact with a woman who swore he destroyed her face many years ago, she was searching for doctors to help her. As for me, mt fat calmed down and I was one of the few that it turned out less severe, but still problematic. I am hoping to post pics this week as I am considering Dr Marten for a facelift and to take some of the fat out from around my eyes. I hope you find some help and I am sorry this happened to you. Feel free to write anytime.

UH! Joe, you are addressing the wrong person? on who said you were fat. Actually, it is a new friend of mine here... who was being supportive and one who felt the need to protect me from your onslaught of hate. You see, the circle is widening and more people are responding. And the last poster? She actually believes that you are really Coleman. The nice thing is, the more... all of you Coleman devotees and Coleman (Syd, we know you are reading these) himself post... the more is revealed. No more reading between the lines, it is not necessary. You are all so transparent. Only a lover of Coleman, friend or family member woud write such ludicrous bull. No "Happy" Coleman patient would take part in this? Remember, they are happy patients...so living their happy lives and do not have time for this.

I have been reading your posts Coleman and friends, please put more effort into them. The patterns of writing change and are not consitent with each personality. Sybil had 19 or so personalities and she was able to handle it? Why can't you?

And Sydney Coleman Mutilations, I so appreciate the love and support... but I just would like to say... that this will not be permanent. I expect it will be corrected in time. Not to worry. On everything else you posted... thanks for addressing Joe as if he were Coleman, He probably is.

Hey all, I just posted some more pictures of my face at NewImage.com. They clearly show more detail in Coleman's mutilation of me. And there is a new one of before showing my facial structure, so yo can see how badly he destroyed my identity. There are several now pictures as well. Please go view them and let others know...so that "we the people"... can stop this madness!

There is something wrong for a person to say "I was once beautiful" and I will be again... after further surgery. Do you teach your children that they are BORN beautiful? By the way, I am not fat 5'9 155 pounds, and my son went with me to Del Taco just as a companion. Some people, you see are modest and don't need to list off their personal attributes. Don't mistake this for fat I don't think he could even eat that food at 3. I am discussing this at a forum type level, you might not always get the response you want.

“I was referred to Dr. Coleman by a physician who said that as I grow older, my eyes will continue to appear more sunken, and my face was beginning to be gaunt. He highly recommended Dr. Coleman as the pioneer of lipostructure and as a person who could "fix" my growing problem. Indeed, after a partial treatment, my eyes and my face appear much fuller and more youthful. Since I am in the public constantly, I could not afford sufficient healing time to have everything that Dr. Coleman recommended done, but I most definitely plan to return for more. The change is subtle but significant. Yesterday I was asked if I were in my early forties, and I am 57! Dr. Coleman is more than a physician; he is an artist is his ability to visualize and design what a person wants. He listens carefully and shows great care in planning how to achieve the desired results. As soon as my work schedule allows, I am planning to return to Dr. Coleman to complete

My husband is an ophthalmologist and also performs blepharoplastic surgery. He was truly amazed at the results that I achieved with a minimal amount of surgery and with the fat implants injected around my eyes. My husband and I cannot recommend any other physician who has the natural ability to do this type of procedure as well as Dr. Coleman.

I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Sydney Coleman at any time for any procedure that he performs. Dr. Coleman is truly a gifted surgeon."

"The results of a traditional facelift left my face devoid of fat, looking unnatural and unhealthy. Dr. Coleman was able to reverse these effects with Lipostructure. The results of the procedure are outstanding. I have regained the look of my younger years, beyond my expectations. While the swelling and recovery time, from Lipostructure, are greater than with other procedures, the results warrant the process. My only regret is that I didn't learn about Lipostructure sooner."

-- Nancy H., New York

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I had my LipoStructure face procedure performed on 12/27/05 and I must confess that my recovery was so slow, I thought, never to see my face looking normal again. Then all of a sudden, just like Dr. Coleman promised, the swelling and bruising are mostly gone and of as today’s date 3/21/06, I do have minor swelling and slight bruising but, for the most part, I finally feel great about myself and people around me love the results, as well.

THERE IS A LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL!

My total experience with Tribeca Plastic Surgery Facility was always positive. During my recovery I had constant doubts and concerns and I did frequent the office more then usual. The staff and the doctors were always patient and accommodating to all my emotional and physical needs."

“I came to Dr. Coleman at age 38, looking 45 or older. I also had severe acne scarring coupled with surgical scars from previous, unsuccessful corrective surgeries. Dr. Coleman performed lipostructure on my facial scarring and on other, prematurely aged areas of my face. Today, most of my acne scars are gone and, at age 41, I don't look a day over 35. Most importantly, however, I no longer hide at home, consumed with anxiety over my haggard and disfigured appearance. Instead, I leave the house each day feeling confident about the way I look and able to focus on the outside world and what I want to achieve in it. Lipostructure has improved not only my physical appearance but my overall quality of life.”

“It was a wonderful experience! I just turned 60 and after a facelift with another doctor, I still had thin lips and still had all the vertical lines.

Dr. Coleman recontoured my lips and got rid of all of the lines. The shape is totally natural. It took 15 years off my lower face. He is really restored the bottom of my face. I am totally delighted. I cannot say enough on how great my lips look and how great I feel!”

-- Susan, New York

"I am in the beauty industry and I see lots of plastic surgery. Good or bad, there are always scars and a facelift only works the first time around. What makes Dr. Coleman's technique different is that it can turn back the clock a decade without any cutting. 10 years later it can be repeated with similar results. Lipostructure has restored the youthful fullness to my face, the kind I used to have when I was younger. In addition, my skin is smoother as well, because it has been filled out. All this without scars! I have had 2 procedures with Dr. Coleman, twelve years ago and a year and a half ago. Each time I am amazed at the long lasting natural looking results. No one can ever guess my real age, thanks to Dr. Coleman!"

I have a systemic disease called discoid lupus which involves sub-dermal fat and collagen in certain areas of the body, leaving very noticeable depressions and scaring. I had had an abdominal fat graft placed about 15 years ago but it was totally reabsorbed. Dr. Coleman performed lipostructure in Jan 2004 and Jan 2005. The abdominal fat was injected on both sides of my face. Around 40% was reabsorbed after 3 to 5 months of the first procedure, but there has been evident improvement, since jan 2005 Given that lupus is an active process that cannot be cured, I am very satisfied to see that this procedure has worked so well.

I was in a serious accident in 1995 which rendered my left gluteus muscle paralyzed. After five years of atrophy, the majority of the tissue was lost. Thanks to Dr. Coleman and his lipostructure procedure, the tissue loss is almost completely restored. I now feel confident when wearing a bathing suit thanks to Dr. Coleman’s remarkable procedure.

My two facial Liposculpture sessions by Sydney Coleman have exceeded my high expectations. I am a busy plastic surgeon who occasionally appears on television. My goal was to diminish the depressed cheek scarring from Acne and soften some of the atrophy of aging, especially on camera. His lipoaugmentation achieved an 80% correction. Not only am I frequently told how much better I look, but there is a softer texture to my face. I am both a student and collegial friend of Sydney and I found the entire experience educational and worthwhile. I am surprised at my improved self esteem. Again he proves himself the consummate master of LipoStructure.

-- Dr. H., Plastic Surgeon, Pennsylvania

Another surgeon who performed surgery for my drooping eyelids had removed too much fat and skin. After multiple surgeries to allow my eyes to close completely, my lids were scarred and my eyes looked hollowed out. The lid crease had actually moved to right below my eyebrows. I was also very uncomfortable with dry eyes. Dr. Coleman performed two procedures to add fat and reshape the area below my eyebrows. In addition to restoring the appearance of normal eyelids, I no longer have a problem with dry eyes. I had researched all possibilities before seeing Dr. Coleman and am convinced that Lipostructure is the only procedure that could have given me a successful result.

-- Eileen, System Analyst, Maryland

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“I met Dr. Coleman in 2003. Before discovering Dr. Coleman, I had several skin peels and dermabrasions for various facial scars all performed by a board certified plastic surgeon. The plastic surgeon encouraged me to continue the procedures thinking the next one would “do the trick”. Overtime this philosophy left my face sullen, pigmented and stripped of the tops layers of skin. I finally went to another plastic surgeon for a second opinion. He looked at my sullen face and suggested Dr. Coleman. This plastic surgeon attended a seminar where Dr. Coleman presented his research on lipostructure. He suggested that I get a consultation from Dr. Coleman as he feared the procedures being performed on my face were leaving me with a new kind of facial deformity.

I had a consultation with Dr. Coleman who explained his LipoStructure technique in great detail. I remember his extensive picture taking of my face and his explanation of harvesting, purifying and then placing fat taken from other parts of my body (in my case my inner thighs) into my face for restructuring and contouring. At every step in the process, he explained in detail the expectations, risks and how the healing processes would evolve over time. He explained that it sometimes took a few procedures to get the fat interspersed correctly through out my face and that it was a very delicate procedure that needed a healing curve to optimize the results. Basically, the procedure needs a patient to be patient.

The procedure itself is not painful. You are under sedation/anesthesia by a licensed anesthesiologist and wake up with bandages on the areas where fat was removed and where it was re-deposited. His office staff is helpful and gives very clear directions as to how to care for the areas post operatively. Once the bandages are removed then the healing process begins. As a pharmacist, I can tell you that the healing curve is very patient specific. Some people bruise easier than others and some require more time for swelling to subside so there is no exact timeline for these healing steps. Most importantly since they are regulated by your own body clock, the steps can not be rushed. Also, if there is one point to reinforce is that you must follow directions given by the staff. For example, after a period of time, ice is not warranted nor is the use of steroids helpful to decrease any swelling. The swelling will go away over time and can not be rushed. I think that this is the hardest part that some find annoying and at times disconcerting. I found it helpful not to keep looking in the mirror - waiting for instant results because the results do not come instantly but rather evolve through a rejuvenating process, restoring what was loss through aging or in my case trauma. Over time the rejuvenating results are apparent. There is swelling, bruises, redness in the eyes and even a little discomfort post the procedure, but as time goes by all disappear and the results of the procedure are natural and rejuvenating.

The transplanted fat feels like normal body structures. If the transplanted fat is near bone or cartilage then it feels like bone or cartilage. The LipoStructure system feels natural to the touch. Using this technique, Dr. Coleman refined and restructured my face but most importantly brought back myself confidence. Would I do it again? Yes. It changed my life and gave me the self confidence I needed to reach my goals.“

First, the New York State Department of Health has NEVER taken any disciplinary action against Dr. Coleman.

Second, Dr. Coleman has NEVER been found liable for malpractice and no judgment in a malpractice lawsuit has ever been entered against him. The links to the New York State and Federal Court websites are another attempt to mislead and misinform.

Third, the complaint of Patient DD is completely unsubstantiated and is not part of a public record.

The photographs “chosen” to be displayed are not fair and accurate depictions of the results of Dr. Coleman’s treatment of these patients. These photographs are not comparable “before and after” presentations of the patients and show the results of surgeries that are unrelated to the fat grafting procedures performed by Dr. Coleman.

As anyone weighs the decision of undergoing plastic surgery, there are certain facts that all patients should consider:

Patients should realize that there is a recovery after any procedure, and that recovery is variable. Although most people look great by two months after fat grafting, the actual result may not be seen for as much as six months or even longer in rare circumstance.

It is not prudent have further procedures after any surgical procedure until most of the swelling has resolved.

Fat grafting, like any surgical procedure on humans, involves the manipulation of living tissues. The results of any procedure by any surgeon (urologist, gynecologist, otolaryngologist, et cetera) are not completely predictable. Secondary procedures may be necessary. We cannot compare surgical procedures or fat grafting to the purchase of an IPOD or Monte Blanc pen because molding living tissue is not as predictable as molding plastic or metal

You should always discuss any questions or concerns you have about your medical treatment, and specifically any surgical procedure you are considering with your physician.

"My association with Dr. Coleman and his fat transfer process commenced in March 2000 after I had thoroughly researched various ways to enhance my thinning facial profile. As a 41 year-old professional fitness trainer I was concerned that I was becoming too skeletal looking but I did not want to opt for more traditional means such as a face lift or artificial fillers.

At the conclusion of my first engagement, I was initially quite swollen and bruised, nevertheless, within a few months I was pleased with the results and thankful that I was left without visual scars which are inherent in many alternate measures. I have returned to Dr. Coleman on two other occasions so that he could address secondary areas which have surfaced since my initial visit. During each process, I have been treated with the utmost professionalism as his staff is sensitive to both my emotional and physical needs and willing to go the extra mile to ensure that every question is answered and ever need addressed.

In sum, I wholeheartedly endorse Dr. Coleman’s practice as he is a true professional who is dedicated to the intricate details that are presented by each and every patient."

“I was referred to Dr. Coleman by a physician who said that as I grow older, my eyes will continue to appear more sunken, and my face was beginning to be gaunt. He highly recommended Dr. Coleman as the pioneer of lipostructure and as a person who could "fix" my growing problem. Indeed, after a partial treatment, my eyes and my face appear much fuller and more youthful. Since I am in the public constantly, I could not afford sufficient healing time to have everything that Dr. Coleman recommended done, but I most definitely plan to return for more. The change is subtle but significant. Yesterday I was asked if I were in my early forties, and I am 57! Dr. Coleman is more than a physician; he is an artist is his ability to visualize and design what a person wants. He listens carefully and shows great care in planning how to achieve the desired results. As soon as my work schedule allows, I am planning to return to Dr. Coleman to complete

My husband is an ophthalmologist and also performs blepharoplastic surgery. He was truly amazed at the results that I achieved with a minimal amount of surgery and with the fat implants injected around my eyes. My husband and I cannot recommend any other physician who has the natural ability to do this type of procedure as well as Dr. Coleman.

I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Sydney Coleman at any time for any procedure that he performs. Dr. Coleman is truly a gifted surgeon."

"The results of a traditional facelift left my face devoid of fat, looking unnatural and unhealthy. Dr. Coleman was able to reverse these effects with Lipostructure. The results of the procedure are outstanding. I have regained the look of my younger years, beyond my expectations. While the swelling and recovery time, from Lipostructure, are greater than with other procedures, the results warrant the process. My only regret is that I didn't learn about Lipostructure sooner."

-- Nancy H., New York

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I had my LipoStructure face procedure performed on 12/27/05 and I must confess that my recovery was so slow, I thought, never to see my face looking normal again. Then all of a sudden, just like Dr. Coleman promised, the swelling and bruising are mostly gone and of as today’s date 3/21/06, I do have minor swelling and slight bruising but, for the most part, I finally feel great about myself and people around me love the results, as well.

THERE IS A LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL!

My total experience with Tribeca Plastic Surgery Facility was always positive. During my recovery I had constant doubts and concerns and I did frequent the office more then usual. The staff and the doctors were always patient and accommodating to all my emotional and physical needs."

"Thank you for your professionalism, your sensitivity and above all, your expertise delivery of results. In 2000 I came to you with severe acne scars; you sat down with me, carefully explained your recommendations and walked through the procedure. I was so happy with the outcome and have recently come back for additional surgery. Your staff is very friendly and caring, I always felt completely comfortable. I am truly grateful, thank you."

“Just going to Dr. Coleman’s office makes my day. He is a skilled, caring surgeon who’s integrity level is so high. I am so pleased with my results. I would use him again for anything. My skin has never looked better. It’s the best money I ever spent.”

-- Sherry, New York City

“I just wanted to write you this letter to express how thankful I am. Back in 2001 when I first walked in your office, I was scared; and never thought you would be able to make me look as good as you have. For a whole year I was so depressed looking in the mirror, but you have changed that. Thank you, I am so happy. I live so far away, but I would never go anywhere else, nor would I ever let anyone touch my face but you. I will continue to tell all my friends and family how great you are because you changed my life…thank you again.”

“I came to Dr. Coleman at age 38, looking 45 or older. I also had severe acne scarring coupled with surgical scars from previous, unsuccessful corrective surgeries. Dr. Coleman performed lipostructure on my facial scarring and on other, prematurely aged areas of my face. Today, most of my acne scars are gone and, at age 41, I don't look a day over 35. Most importantly, however, I no longer hide at home, consumed with anxiety over my haggard and disfigured appearance. Instead, I leave the house each day feeling confident about the way I look and able to focus on the outside world and what I want to achieve in it. Lipostructure has improved not only my physical appearance but my overall quality of life.”

-- Karen, Retired, New Jersey

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“I have found Dr. Coleman to be a highly credentialed medical professional who possesses the artistic sensitivities and awareness of a sculpture. He is constantly looking for ways to improve and refine his art, which is why I trust him to reduce the tell-tale signs of aging on my face, which has enabled me to feel happier and more confident about my appearance.”

“It was a wonderful experience! I just turned 60 and after a facelift with another doctor, I still had thin lips and still had all the vertical lines.

Dr. Coleman recontoured my lips and got rid of all of the lines. The shape is totally natural. It took 15 years off my lower face. He is really restored the bottom of my face. I am totally delighted. I cannot say enough on how great my lips look and how great I feel!”

-- Susan, New York

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I am in the beauty industry and I see lots of plastic surgery. Good or bad, there are always scars and a facelift only works the first time around. What makes Dr. Coleman's technique different is that it can turn back the clock a decade without any cutting. 10 years later it can be repeated with similar results. Lipostructure has restored the youthful fullness to my face, the kind I used to have when I was younger. In addition, my skin is smoother as well, because it has been filled out. All this without scars! I have had 2 procedures with Dr. Coleman, twelve years ago and a year and a half ago. Each time I am amazed at the long lasting natural looking results. No one can ever guess my real age, thanks to Dr. Coleman!"

I have a systemic disease called discoid lupus which involves sub-dermal fat and collagen in certain areas of the body, leaving very noticeable depressions and scaring. I had had an abdominal fat graft placed about 15 years ago but it was totally reabsorbed. Dr. Coleman performed lipostructure in Jan 2004 and Jan 2005. The abdominal fat was injected on both sides of my face. Around 40% was reabsorbed after 3 to 5 months of the first procedure, but there has been evident improvement, since jan 2005 Given that lupus is an active process that cannot be cured, I am very satisfied to see that this procedure has worked so well.

I was in a serious accident in 1995 which rendered my left gluteus muscle paralyzed. After five years of atrophy, the majority of the tissue was lost. Thanks to Dr. Coleman and his lipostructure procedure, the tissue loss is almost completely restored. I now feel confident when wearing a bathing suit thanks to Dr. Coleman’s remarkable procedure.

My two facial Liposculpture sessions by Sydney Coleman have exceeded my high expectations. I am a busy plastic surgeon who occasionally appears on television. My goal was to diminish the depressed cheek scarring from Acne and soften some of the atrophy of aging, especially on camera. His lipoaugmentation achieved an 80% correction. Not only am I frequently told how much better I look, but there is a softer texture to my face. I am both a student and collegial friend of Sydney and I found the entire experience educational and worthwhile. I am surprised at my improved self esteem. Again he proves himself the consummate master of LipoStructure.

Another surgeon who performed surgery for my drooping eyelids had removed too much fat and skin. After multiple surgeries to allow my eyes to close completely, my lids were scarred and my eyes looked hollowed out. The lid crease had actually moved to right below my eyebrows. I was also very uncomfortable with dry eyes. Dr. Coleman performed two procedures to add fat and reshape the area below my eyebrows. In addition to restoring the appearance of normal eyelids, I no longer have a problem with dry eyes. I had researched all possibilities before seeing Dr. Coleman and am convinced that Lipostructure is the only procedure that could have given me a successful result.

“I met Dr. Coleman in 2003. Before discovering Dr. Coleman, I had several skin peels and dermabrasions for various facial scars all performed by a board certified plastic surgeon. The plastic surgeon encouraged me to continue the procedures thinking the next one would “do the trick”. Overtime this philosophy left my face sullen, pigmented and stripped of the tops layers of skin. I finally went to another plastic surgeon for a second opinion. He looked at my sullen face and suggested Dr. Coleman. This plastic surgeon attended a seminar where Dr. Coleman presented his research on lipostructure. He suggested that I get a consultation from Dr. Coleman as he feared the procedures being performed on my face were leaving me with a new kind of facial deformity.

I had a consultation with Dr. Coleman who explained his LipoStructure technique in great detail. I remember his extensive picture taking of my face and his explanation of harvesting, purifying and then placing fat taken from other parts of my body (in my case my inner thighs) into my face for restructuring and contouring. At every step in the process, he explained in detail the expectations, risks and how the healing processes would evolve over time. He explained that it sometimes took a few procedures to get the fat interspersed correctly through out my face and that it was a very delicate procedure that needed a healing curve to optimize the results. Basically, the procedure needs a patient to be patient.

The procedure itself is not painful. You are under sedation/anesthesia by a licensed anesthesiologist and wake up with bandages on the areas where fat was removed and where it was re-deposited. His office staff is helpful and gives very clear directions as to how to care for the areas post operatively. Once the bandages are removed then the healing process begins. As a pharmacist, I can tell you that the healing curve is very patient specific. Some people bruise easier than others and some require more time for swelling to subside so there is no exact timeline for these healing steps. Most importantly since they are regulated by your own body clock, the steps can not be rushed. Also, if there is one point to reinforce is that you must follow directions given by the staff. For example, after a period of time, ice is not warranted nor is the use of steroids helpful to decrease any swelling. The swelling will go away over time and can not be rushed. I think that this is the hardest part that some find annoying and at times disconcerting. I found it helpful not to keep looking in the mirror - waiting for instant results because the results do not come instantly but rather evolve through a rejuvenating process, restoring what was loss through aging or in my case trauma. Over time the rejuvenating results are apparent. There is swelling, bruises, redness in the eyes and even a little discomfort post the procedure, but as time goes by all disappear and the results of the procedure are natural and rejuvenating.

The transplanted fat feels like normal body structures. If the transplanted fat is near bone or cartilage then it feels like bone or cartilage. The LipoStructure system feels natural to the touch. Using this technique, Dr. Coleman refined and restructured my face but most importantly brought back myself confidence. Would I do it again? Yes. It changed my life and gave me the self confidence I needed to reach my goals.“

First, the New York State Department of Health has NEVER taken any disciplinary action against Dr. Coleman.

Second, Dr. Coleman has NEVER been found liable for malpractice and no judgment in a malpractice lawsuit has ever been entered against him. The links to the New York State and Federal Court websites are another attempt to mislead and misinform.

Third, the complaint of Patient DD is completely unsubstantiated and is not part of a public record.

The photographs “chosen” to be displayed are not fair and accurate depictions of the results of Dr. Coleman’s treatment of these patients. These photographs are not comparable “before and after” presentations of the patients and show the results of surgeries that are unrelated to the fat grafting procedures performed by Dr. Coleman.

As anyone weighs the decision of undergoing plastic surgery, there are certain facts that all patients should consider:

Patients should realize that there is a recovery after any procedure, and that recovery is variable. Although most people look great by two months after fat grafting, the actual result may not be seen for as much as six months or even longer in rare circumstance.

It is not prudent have further procedures after any surgical procedure until most of the swelling has resolved.

Fat grafting, like any surgical procedure on humans, involves the manipulation of living tissues. The results of any procedure by any surgeon (urologist, gynecologist, otolaryngologist, et cetera) are not completely predictable. Secondary procedures may be necessary. We cannot compare surgical procedures or fat grafting to the purchase of an IPOD or Monte Blanc pen because molding living tissue is not as predictable as molding plastic or metal

You should always discuss any questions or concerns you have about your medical treatment, and specifically any surgical procedure you are considering with your physician.

Elaine, Thank you for helping me to leave... feeling appreciation and in peace. I will research Dr. Barrett in Boston. I live in RI, so it is only a 45 minute drive into the city between 10:00 and 2:00. Usually.

Joe,

Everyone likes to look the best they can. You sound like a fat slob. I am a single mother of two and after their needs are taking care of, I run to the dr. for a little fix. Go for a jog, maybe you will be a little nicer.

Corey,

Please stop explaining to Joe and everyone else. You were beautiful and will be again. You don't need to answer to any of us. By writing on this board and posting your pictures to protect others is your business.

I watch this board everyday and I cannot believe the foolish that goes on. You can fix your face by having a lift. Call Dr. Barrett in Boston. He is the best! You will love him. He was voted the most trusted Doctor.

Joe, I felt comfortable with my looks. I was not tying to change "How" I looked, but wanted to feel looking refreshed... after suffering a long period of time with an ameoba that kills people. I was bedridden for three years until I went to New York where a doctor there discovered my weakness. So please do not tell me that your own personal story is more painful. Suffering is suffering.

I never said that I thought I was beautiful, but fairly attractive. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, there are men who considered me to look as a goddess and those who I am certain thought a dog. It is more about chemistry. I have no control over this. I rarely watch television, so I do not know which movie stars or actresses you are referring to that I may envy. I once had a bumper sticker that read "KILL YOUR TELEVISION" Another idiotic assumption on your part.

My child is 30 years old and although it was a mistake on my part...which to this day I regret...having blurted out my thoughts of suicide...in my darkest hour, it is how I felt. Coleman is the cause of this. My daughter has my complete devotion and I have spent more time with her than most parents. Great parent you are, Taco Bell and candy bars. I raised my child on organic foods and free range meats. Never did I allow that kind of crap into her diet.

Truly I am sorry to hear that you have a disease to contend with, but you did not pay someone to mutilate you? This was not caused by another human being violating you. This was an inexcusable act of violence against me. What is your cause and effect regarding your disease? Like I asked for it by trusting this surgeon? I could say the same of you...eating a crappy diet like that and feeding that garbage to your kid? Of course you could end up sick!

By the way, Google in "Alternative Therapies" for your disease, there probably is an answer...the pharma folks do not want you to know. Disease is dis-ease. What up in "your" life? It would be less stressful is you do not take time from your family and stick your nose in where it does not belong.

Anyone who would attack another as you have...is most definitely screwed up inside. Happy people are loving. Admiteddly, I am not happy. But I am working towards this. Happy feels like...when you find new love. Someone could total your brand new BMW and you would be able to smile right through it. Dance along the street singing. Remember how "New Love" feels? If you felt this happy, you would not be interested in partcipitpating in our misery...in a miserable way. Misery loves company and you continue returning for our company.

And for Media, How rediculous to state that my mutialted face was not the work of Coleman. Yep, I just selected him to sabatoge his business for the hell of it? after he did an awesome job of course. Ya know...show some gratitude? By the way, I have had only two surgeries on my face, a facelift which Coleman ruined with his surgery. Desperate people do desperate things. To go to such an extreme, as telling outright lies...only proves that this post is working to stop Coleman.

Please tell all, what surgery did I have and who was the surgeon that mutilated my face, if not Coleman? Your little fantasy is geting more warped and twisted as time goes on. You still have not told everyone my real name? It will takes days for you to figure this out idiot. If there was an investigaton, you would have immediately posted my name, just to prove that you are telling the truth. Unable, now you are lying about my mutialtion by Coleman. The audacity here?... trying to pin it on another surgeon?

Dear God, Please help me to refrain from posting here any longer? It is a struggle at times, by my need to speak the truth and expose "EVIL!" You are right Joe, in that my attention has more worthy places of being now. I have said everything to effectively stop Coleman in his tracks. My pictures and video posted here will be my fare-well. The finishing touch.

You are also right in that I should let go and have fun right now!

If you were so beautiful, why the plastic surgery? You weren't good enough? The real root of your problem, as I already stated, is that you fell victim to society's definition of beauty. You didn't see a beautiful woman in the mirror and you wanted to look more like a magazine model or tv/movie actress. If you would have accepted aging gracefully, none of this would have happened. That is your cause and effect. I don't care if others don't like my bald head, love handles, freckles. I like them and I like myself. Love yourself from now on and stop seeking salvation in the actions or improper actions of others.

Corey Taylor Cregg. I went through a life threatening situation 5 months ago where the pain was so bad I entertained some of the thoughts you did. However, my son (3 years old) deserves better. Your problem sounds like it has to do with self-confidence to begin with. You were trying to look pretty on the outside, when your inside is screwed up. The parent should never tell the child they are contemplating suicide. You asked what I do with my family. Well, yesterday I took my son to a nearby park and watched him interact with the other kids in the water. We then went to Del Taco and had some nachos and he showed me how to put 2 quarters in the vending machine for candy. What good would it do to tell him that I have a disease that somehow appeared outside of genetics. Neither of my parents have it. I could cry about it or cherish the time with my sons. I am not saying I am better than you, or that this guy that you speak of is not a quack. I am just saying that you need help.
