BOTCHED! BEWARE! Dr. Gary Brownstein www.cherryhillcosmeticsurgery.com took my money

BOTCHED! Dr. Gary Brownstein is more interested in his patients money than he is in the welfare of his patients. I paid Dr. Gary Brownstein $7300.00 for an upper body lift procedure that had to be cancelled as I was diagnosed with ductal carcinoma insitu which is an early stage of breast cancer. I had a procedure with an oncologist where a lump on my breast was removed. After the procedure, Dr. Brownstein has refused to proceed with the upper body lift as he indicates that my cancellation and other mitigating factors cost $7300.00 even though I have offered him additional funds to cover the cancellation. The topper here is that he has refused to refund my money which was paid in cash. For some reason, he wanted a higher fee if I used a credit card or paid by check so I paid with cash and I do have the receipts! Feel free to contact me for further information regarding this money hungry physician.

Dr Gary Brownstein Cherry Hill M.D Botched Swindler Surgeon, costly, dismissive, disregarding of low/No quality surgical results

Due to a unproportionate leg impairment, I searched for board certified surgeons in Cherry Hill, New Jersey that provided calf augmentation surgery & stumbled upon Dr. Gary Brownstein. During my Initial consultation I expressed my shortcomings & my desire to mend my impairment specifically with calf implantation & was given a price quote of $5, 800 in which I then supplied my down payment & reserved a date for that specific surgery.

During the consultation Dr. Brownstein recommended that I instead go along with an alternative procedure of 'Vaser' liposuction & fat transfer, a technique he prides in developing by extracting "viable autologous fat" & transfering the harvested fat to a requisite area. I was given an extravangant price quote due to the fact that the alternative surgery requires lipo of multiple areas & the fat transfer (let it be known i am a already slender person). I originally declined his recommendation as to my main focus was my soley my bilateral calfs & the alternative procedures was beyond my budget.

After, I was still largely being presented with Dr. Brownstein implication of the vaser lipo & fat transfer in which I did ask if the fat harvested would dimish or simply "melt away" I was told No. I recieved a call from Sydney, Dr. Brownstein's nasty old hag wife permitted a discount to $5, 900 for lipo of the inner thighs & transfered to the bilateral calfs. I was given a whole spiel of the supposed benefits & results I would get with the procedure.

I went to Dr. Gary Brownstein in good faith & put trust in his credentials so I gave in to the recommendation & went for the alternative surgery. I received the surgery at the end of May of this year. Doctor Brownstein was late to my scheduled surgery. As soon as I awoke from surgery in the recovery room I immediately observed my legs to which a volume enhancement on my bilateral calfs was barely noticable & "thigh gap" I was told I was to have, was not present. I mentioned my concern to Dr. Brownstein which responded that he did extract from the area & a thigh gap would show as I heal.

Afterwards during post-surgery follow up appointments I continued to exhaust my concern regarding my lack of result & was always charmingly dismissed by Dr. Brownstein & Sydney, his old hag wife. I was told every excuse from saying for me to just wait 3 months for my final result -to that the reason Dr. Brownstein didnt lipo my inner thighs completely was because he didnt want me to end up with excess skin? (im 5'5 & slim 120 lbs & never been overweight to even have excess skin) -to the reason I got the result I got was due to my budget; Unjustifiable excuses.

At my last follow up appointment of my 3rd month final result, in which I was left to wait almost an hour before he came to see me, I again addressed the matter gracefully. My final outcome of the recommended surgery was Defective. The supposed viable fat that was transfered did indeed Disintegrate/dissolve & my legs were left to appear exactly as before! I have before & after pics as well as testimony from my mother & everyone who knows me to prove.

I was told by Dr. Brownstein that the only amount of fat extracted & tranfered was the equivalent to a half can of soda! He also said that he told me prior (he did'nt) the not all the fat cells would survive after transfer. Knowing that my surgery was defective & that He insinuated I get the alternative procedure, he & his office representative tried flipping it all around saying that I wasnt forced to go with his recommendation & that it was my choice.

My main focus since the beginning was soley mending the impairment of my bilateral calfs by calf implantation -Not having multiple surgeries using his proclaimed lipo techniques including other parts of my body. He convinced me. I paid in-full thousands for his service to mend the impairment of my bottom legs & got an empty result.

I got ripped off. I go to bed disappointed & wake up disappointed everyday. Dr. Brownstein & his practice are manipulative & disregarding & would not do any revisions for quality or reimburse even a portion of the persons paid expenses regardless of receiving a botched or defective surgery. Karma is real & when it comes & goes around that way -I hope I hear about it.
