Dr. Schwitzer performed gynecomastia surgery on me on Monday 2/27/23.
4300 N University Dr #A202, Lauderhill, FL 33351
I stressed to doctor schwitzer that I had the same surgery years ago at strax and didn't get any results.. I told him how I'm trusting you guys once again.. I was told there's a whole new team with new technology..
I told doctor schwitzer how the previous doctor just liposuction my chest.. but that type of tissue won't leave with diet and exercise.. as a matter of fact. I weighed 140 pounds when I visited years ago.. I'm sure my file shows that .
Dr schwitzers response was.
" If I were to just meet you, I would have just liposuction you too "
It's hurtful when a doctor truly doesn't listen to you.
Dr schwitzer seems to talk (( through you)) , not to you .
I actually told the doctor how I felt during my follow up visit.
((March 11, 2023 visit 1pm))
I expressed to Dr schwitzer that my chest has the same Silhouette and shape.. I was honestly disappointed.
I understand it won't be perfect. But I expect to look nice in a shirt . I still need to wear my compression undershirts that I've worn for years.
Dr schwitzers response was
" oh what happened, I wish you would have seen me sooner "
" you gained some weight and that's why the results look like this "
I couldn't understand how me resting (after surgery ) a week or so didn't justify some weight gain.. I told Dr schwitzer.. your making it seem as if I walked in as a Obese person.. .
Dr schwitzer says. " You need to loose some weight and get back to the weight you had surgery at"..
I agreed ,
and meet with the doctor a Month later .
3rd((April Dr visit ))
The staff takes my weight..
Then doctor schwitzer says he sees a little improvement.. I told the doctor.
" I didn't walk in here with huge breast"
" I just didn't want small breast that came through my shirt 👕 "
Doctor schwitzer says
" oh, I didn't know you wanted a flat chest "
?.. like . It's so hurtful/ stressful/ annoying
that it angers me..
Dr schwitzer says
"Well that's all loose skin"
" for that look, I would need to creat a scar across your whole chest "
I told Dr schwitzer:
" how is the story changing every time we meet "?
" you never said anything about loose skin! "
" now your saying you didn't know I wanted a flat chest "?
" first u said I needed to loose weight "
" now your saying you didn't know what I wanted "
Dr schwitzer said he left fat and tissue in my chest to match my body type .
I feel so silly, used, and mocked for using the same company..
I felt safe coming to strax because I'd been there before..
Dr schwitzer said someone would be reaching out.. I'll show pics and live video of my chest.. my right nipple sinks all the way in.. and the left just hangs as it did before..
Before surgery I agreed to be on Dr schwitzer social media..
so they took video and pics of my before body
( my thoughts were, he would have to do a great job if he's posting this )
To prove my point,
My video/ pictures never saw the light of day.( why ) because even he knew this wasn't his best work .
I'm not happy because my hard earned money wasn't spent properly.
Dr schwitzer seems to change his story as he speaks.
I don't feel valued when speaking with him.. and I honestly don't trust him
Desired outcome: I didn't get what I pleaded for... he hasn't returned my calls.. I've left several messages for him

Desired outcome: I want to get my chest corrected
Implant exchange with lift
Surgery, June 9th. From the moment I entered the consultation with Dr.Hamm , he spent no more than 3-4 minutes with me. Told me what I wanted to hear and I agreed to folllow through, although the doctors age concerned me a bit.
During pre op I was extremely clear of my pain threshold and advised them of what worked and what didn’t. This was when I first discovered they were not treating patients as individuals but it was all cookie cutter. I still had faith that they would listen to me and prescribe the correct meds..to my dismay; I was wrong , they didn’t care because everyone got the same stuff. Needless to say my incredible pain was never under control.
When I went to my post op I again explained all my issues, the pain and the fact that the doctor did NOT ado what he promised , I came out looking worse and butchered my nipples, they looked like someone with a very shaky hand made the cuts.
After my second post op, still in a lot of pain , the doctor walked in , literally said “ everything looks great, see you in a week” I was astonished, not to hear, do you have any questions!?… I couldn’t get a word out, he took advantage that I was in pain and out of breath from the pain and stormed out.
I wanted to tell him that since the surgery I have been suffering with disabling headaches/ migraines. … wasn’t sure what it was because I never ever suffered from either. The manager mange’s to obtain a Rex for the headaches, but they didn’t check my other meds from my. Other doctor, therefore Walgreens could not fill it.. I called and spoke to the manager and explained that the pharmacy did not cx the RX, but it was post of coordinator..the pharmacist said all they needed to do was change the Rx. But instead I was told by the manager, “nothing we can do, the Doctor left and we are closed until Thursday.”to my dismay, I couldn’t believe that I was being treated so badly and left to suffer.
Ultimately, the pain was so debilitating that I was forced to go to the ER and they couldn’t believe that the center abandoned their own patient. The said I had a fever and that the pain was likely due to while in surgery; since they discovered my jaw was broken and I will now need surgery. After spending thousands in the ER , I’ve spent more there than on the surgery itself.
As a seasoned nurse of over 25 years; I ask that you don’t just go by the doctors C,V; resume. They are wonderful until they have your money. I Will NEVER recommend this facility. As a matter of fact, it is my duty to continue to report to all the appropriate agency’s , that monitor this center. Do your research, just because we can’t sue , there are far more better angles to report what I consider medical negligence. This is the worse experience I’ve ever had, and I’ve been to 4 other surgery centers tha were 5 star. I wish I had thought it over more.
I came close to death . Dr. Hamm Forgot to connect the valves for my tummy tuck. I got home and all my blood started pouring out of me. 911 got me to Broward general in time. They had to open me back up and finish what Dr Hamm didn’t do. I spent days in ICU. I went home and the filthy place gave me Mersa. Again they had to open me up scraping the infection and I had to heal with packings. My incision is terrible. But I am alive. This place is owned by lawyers. They make you sign your life away. Lots of people died there . So I’m taking my time to warn you all. No matter how cheap or what you want done. Do not go to Strax!

Obvious errors made during the course of face/neck lift procedures
In late April of 2017, I received Face/Neck lift surgery at Strax in Ft. Lauderdale, Fl... Soon after that in June & July 2017, three immediate family members passed away in another state which I had to address. Then in 2019, I went to my dermatologist that I has been seeing for more than 15 years and when she saw me, she said “what has happened to your...
Read full review of Strax Rejuvenationlabiaplasty
I can honestly say that my labiaplasty is completely and utterly botched. I've been to two surgeons who are shocked at the horrible job that's been done. My vagina hardly looks like a vagina- I have zero labia, only scars. I may as well have taken a scissor to my vagina myself. Go to an expert for this procedure, do NOT go to Strax. I repeat- stay far, far away. I have cried 100 times over my decision to go here. And I'm paying off a $4000 debt for my regret. Horrible horrible horrible
tummy tuck
At the end of 2015, I had a tummy tuck done by dr Hamm. The cut on my belly is super long from side to side. It's been three years since I had the surgery, and the scar still looks horrible. I even bleed from the scar sometimes. I have a huge bulge on my upper abdominal area, which feels very hard. I look like I'm 5 months pregnant. I have to wear loose shirts to hide my bulging belly. I went back to dr Hamm to find out what went wrong with the surgery, he said that it was fat underneath the tight muscles, and that I needed to do another tummy tuck to get rid of the bulg in my belly and to make a better scar. I was astonished at what he said to me! Instead of correcting the botched job, he wanted me to get another surgery, so he can get more money from me! MY ADVICE, STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! RUN!
refund requested
I have written 5 requests for a refund between latoya anglin and javier alvarez because I chose not to get any services with strax rejuvination and instead lose the weight the healthy way. After several repeated emails and calls they will not return any of my calls, none of my emails, no voice mails nothing. The next step is reporting them to the better business bureau because I have the receipts for payments and all the email receipts that they have been read. It should not take almost a year to get a refund. Horrible service and this should not be happening.
tummy tuck
Well, surgery for abdominalplasty was done last September. I had lost quite a bit of weight and kept it off, so, I decided to have a tummy tuck since a roll of skin/fat was left and I wanted it removed. I went to Strax Rejuvenation for a consultation and decided to move forward with surgery after being told my proceeding would cost $6000.
I am dealing with wound care as my wound is STILL not fully healed. The doctor who did the surgery had left multiple stitches inside that keep my wound from closing properly!
Additionally, the surgery was performed where my belly button used to be...I asked if I would still have a belly button and was told "yes"! Today, I have no belly button but a huge, purple scar!
Today, July 24, 2018, I am still seeing wound care a few times per week and the wound care doctor found another stitch left in (permanent stitch vs. dissolvable) and had to remove it leaving another opening! I'm still in pain, paying for extended wound care and to add insult to injury (pun intended), Strax is charging me another $5000 for the privilege! Not sure if I can sue, but I'm spreading the word DON'T USE THEM! My bad experience has come at a price and Strax should be ashamed. Dr. Drew Kreegle wa my surgeon just as a side note!
Liposuction
On 3 March 2015 I went to Strax Rejuvenation at: 950 Glades Rd., Boca Raton, Florida 33431 (Prado Medical Centre Ste # 203) for a pre-op session. The first thing they prepped me for drawing my blood. They had all of the items for blood draw, including the injections on a small table without a paper covering. Then the tech asked me to undress to do the ekg. I had misgivings because they have a window with the blinds half way up. I asked the tech to close the blinds she said that no one is going to be staring. Then after that, they were about to have me lie on a plain black ugly chair. Then I asked the girl examining me 'aren't you going to put a cover on it?' They said the they don't have any. So what does the tech do? She placed a pink half garment top on it. I had to open it up and placed it myself. Anyway, I had the ekg. Then they asked to stand up so that they could take pictures of my body. i told them that I wanted the doctor to have various areas done to include my under bra straps, love handles, thighs, concentrate mainly on my abdomen; I was told that I would be allotted 4 litres of fat removal, which I assumed the tech would notate in my file.Then, tech took pictures not the doctor; I did not meet up with him until the day of the procedure. Going forward, I had contacted Mark, the Director of Patients concerns, at the Broward office, telling him that my misgivings and told him what transpired about the 'sanitary' examining conditions. He assured me that the conditions with preop and the operating room will not be like this. Anyway, I get to the office or 'medical center' at 7:22 am. I was told over the phone, that the surgery would start at 7:30 am. Soon after, I was called to the Pre-Op room where I was told to take off my clothes and put on a gown that was given to me. Later, the front-desk nurse or assistant gives me a medicine stained blanket with holes in it to cover up with. Disappointed, I asked her for another one. She said that 'they are all like that.' While I was sedated, I felt sharp jabbings in my upper back. Later when I came to, the iv nurse came in the room, I asked her for another blanket, she said the same thing. Then the previous nurse came by and said that 'I am a pain in the neck.' Finally, the Dr. Thomas Pane, came in and started at 1hr 45 min later. Dr. Pane rushed in briefly marked me up with a ball-point pen on where I want the fat removal done. A few hours later, I came to. The nurse came in --not the doctor, to talk to me and give me the four prescriptions to fill. The. The nurse made it a point to tell me that one of the patient's here had a compressor garment that was too small for my abdomen; I had the proper sized garment to fit into' had he had taken out a sufficient amount from that area, it would have fitted properly. After a half an hour of rest time, instead of the one hour that I was suppose to get for recovery, I was rushed up and out. Finally, I had arrived home, I had called the Boca office to speak with Dr. Thomas Pane and asked him just how many litres was taken out? In a condescending way, he said that he only took out 1.8 litres of fat (2.25lbs), because he did not want to damage my skin or something to that effect. I was not please because that was not what I was promised. That night, I called the office again, to speak with about having extreme pain and that the prescriptions I received are very expensive. The doctor retorted that 'they (drugs) are not expensive; I was given 4 prescriptions. Perrcolace, Keflex, Zofram, and Tylenol 3 with Codene, by the OR nurse, with a cost totalling over $67.00 that Walgreens Pharmacy told me, in order to fill. He told me that 'no, the nurse did not and that I received only 1 prescription so I would not need anything else and that I received a 'free' antibiotic instead. After, I had asked the doctor about why the minimum litres 1.8 litres that he took out of me at 180 lbs, when I was told that I could have to 4 litres taken out? Rudely he asked me that? I told him the coordinator which I had paid the $500.00 deposit on 17 February 2015 to Tammy and the consultation tech (which I paid the balance of $2, 299.00 on 5 March 2015) told me that. He claims to know nothing about that. Then he said that 'I am calling him 10 hrs later to ask him that? And that this line is for emergencies only. No apologies and extremely rude! I told him that I called about me being in pain and that the litre removal was my second question presented to him.
I have never in my entire life, receive such shoddy, disrespectful, inferior, and unprofessional treatment by a doctor and staff members at any medical facility in my adult life.
I also had sort a second opinion from another doctor who I stated that I received the bare minimum 1.8 litres for my weight of 180 lbs. Dr. Thomas Pane failed to meet with me during the pre-op visit on 6 March 2015, to tell me exactly what will be taken out in litres of fat, for any other information for that matter or what could or could not be done during scheduled procedure, and specially when I requested to have the abdomen (front, side and back, under the bra straps and the inner thighs).
With all that said, I am seeking a full refund of $2, 799.00 that I paid for this 'service' so that you I could have the procedure performed properly another professional and sanitary facility. Three months later I found the results to be horrible thanks to Dr. Pane. I am left with uneven removal of the flanks as well as the pot belly that I had emphasized on to have the fat removal, not to mention major bruising and scarring. Up to now, that doctor still haven't contacted me not even for a follow-up.I had filed with the BBB and other complaint boards
Bad surgery almost killed me
On March 3rd 2009 I went to strax to have a breast augmentation and tummy tuck, my surgery was done by Dr. Gordon. After surgery I attended all of my post opp visits, and was told to come back in 10 Years to get my breasts check out. Years later - I started having really bad stomach aches but never though off my tummy tuck but my sister always said so. In July 2014 I noticed a bump/pimple that won't heal, it would puss and bleed all day everyday. About two weeks later a green wire type object pushed it way out though the pimple, I went to the doctor that very next morning. I saw two doctors that day who told me that I have a very bad infection, I needed antibiotics urgently and I need to see a surgeon ASAP. I went to a surgeon who told me he was surprise I was still standing how bad my infection is, I was prep for emergency surgery right away. I saw pictures of flesh that had to be cut out with some type of wiring in it. I am pissed that they can do that, I almost dead! They will not get away with this. I was told that suing is not an option by a United States attorney - what a load of crap. Please I beg you if you are reading this and thinking about going to Strax please, please DON'T save yourself a lot of pain, money and time

Since it was an elective surgery, you more than likely can not sue him because you would have signed a waiver prior.
Best of luck
Bad surgery
If anyone is considering going to strax please do not do it... I started off with 34 d cups, my breast are not saggy or small but I have always dreamed about having super perky large breast...so I made the decision to go to strax because I knew that I did not need a lot of work done because my breast look perfect as is... I did the consultation with one doctor and agreed to go under local anesthesia...but when it came time for me to pay...my credit was ran and I was approved for care credit, then the young lady who ran my credit told me the original doctor would be unable to perform the surgery because he does not do local anesthesia ...(I was a bit confused) but she reassured me doctor Jeffrey Hamm would be doing my surgery instead and he actually did her breast augmentation which she was thrilled with, being that she just recently had a baby three months ago. Doctor Hamm came in the office and looked at my breast for 5 freaking minutes and told me he would review the notes of the previous physician to conduct the surgery, then left the room to tell his assistant "her breast are perfect" I overheard him through the cheap door. The Day of my operation I began to be a bit skeptical of the fact Dr.Hamm did not build any form of repport with me but he would just go off of notes to achieve what I wanted...which was more cleavage at the top of my breast. The moment I woke up from surgery I was upset and the nurses tried to re-assure me that my breast looked great (according to their botched standards). I was sooo upset because even with my chest a being swollen and wrapped up it was clear this is not what I asked for!. there was no hope with expecting them to look better as they settled because my breast looked awful and wide while swollen. I went to my one week follow up where Doctor Hamm entered the room with an attitude and insulted me by saying " yeah I heard you were not happy with your breast because you wanted them a million times bigger" I than looked at him and told him "how dare you say that to me?!?!? I am unhappy with my procedure and as the doctor that cute me you should sit and talk to me about my results not disrespect me" he then apologized and said he would call a gentleman who dealt with "unhappy customers like myself" who works in administration... The gentleman who I cannot remember his name at this point and time is obviously their personal pit bull on a string that they allow to yell at unhappy customers but I quickly shut is napoleon syndrome having ### down!...the facts are the facts. The gentleman from administration then showed me the chart that the orginal doctor wrote up which to my surprise WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY ! other than containing my name, age, type of implant and anesthesia type...so I asked the gentleman from administration which did doctor ham say that he would reflect on the previous notes if there were no previous notes... his reply was " oh I don't know why he said that"...then he asked me why were my doctors switched and I proceeded to tell him that I was told the previous doctor does not perform local anthesia... he then laughed and told me that was untrue... so I said to him... "its clear as day I was lied to and disrespected, what are you going to do to fix this" he responded by saying "you will have to wait 6 months from now to correct this and I would have to research some prices for you"... he then began to over talk me which did not go will, he walked out of the room and the assistant came in and apologized for doctor hamm stating "hes a bit rude sometimes"... I asked the assistant if I was done and she told me yes come back in 6 weeks and did not provide me with a follow up date...it has been almost a month and I called strax today 7-24/14 at 2:30 p.m. only to find out that my follow up should have been sooner and I was never contacted. PLEASE SPEND THE EXTRA COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS AND GO TO A REPUTABLE PLACE... MY MOTHER HAD BREAST SURGERY AND HER PHYSICIAN TREATED HER SO WELL...BUT I WANTED TO GO THE CHEAPER ROUTE AND RECEIVED EXACTLY WHAT I PAID FOR.

Medical Negligence botched surgery
I have had four procedures done at Strax - two of them were to correct their own messy work. The first procedure was a breast lift with saline implants and a tummy tuck. I came out with lopsided breasts. When I went back to complain about the obvious defect, the doctor refused to correct it. He said he would not operate on me again and gave no reason. He also gave me a lopsided belly button when he performed my tummy tuck but my breast were really embarrassing. I was very upset and after calling repeatedly to try to get a resolution I gave up. A year later I started the quest again. I finally got someone's attention, the office manager, he was nice and brought another surgeon to look at my breasts. I booked the surgery with him, he was supposed to change the saline implants from the previous surgery and put silicone ones in. He said he would fix the lopsided look and make by breasts even. He did not. I went back again to him to complain. He suggested that I waited until a sufficient time and come back so that he can fix them. Six months or so later I went back. He used local anesthesia. His hands were shaky. He did not give me enough anesthesia I felt the pain of him cutting into my breasts. I was crying for what seemed like forever. The pain was horrible. He finally called someone in and they gave me enough drugs to knock me out. It was a horrible experience. I felt really traumatized. When I woke up it was the nurse that was stitching me up. I don't remember if the doctor was still in the room. They wheeled me out and I went home. I went back for one appointment and I was still bandaged so I had not seen my breasts. The same doctor discharged me. When I took off the bandages weeks later, my breasts were horribly disfigured. I had thick scars all around my breasts. He even made scars in my cleavage area so I cannot wear any low cut clothing. One breast is one size bigger than the other - I look worse than before. I hate Strax. I would not recommend it to anyone at all. I don't even want to go back to have them fix my breasts. But I can't stand to look at myself and having to stuff my bra so that my breasts look even. Now I have to save money and to go to another surgeon to try to get them fixed and see if they can minimize the scars. I guess I got what I paid for. I felt like I was treated like cattle.

facial rejuvenation
Oct 16 2010 I had a facial rejuvenation procedure at Strax in Lauderhill. I'm not satisfied with the results of my rejuvenation. I had upper and lower eyelid surgery and my eyes are always red and inflamed. They pull down at the ends. My face wasn't tightened enough. I had my neck done, and on one side skin hangs down from my chin to my neck. You get what you pay for. My recommendation is that when it comes to your face, do a lot of research - don't go for the "deal." I wish I'd never had it done there. My eyes are really messed up now. They're willing to do a revision, but when I investigated this topic, I've discovered alarming things associated with a revision, let alone, going to doctors that don't specialize on the eyes. My mistake, I assumed because they're Board Certified Surgeons that they knew their stuff. No one should ever perform surgery around the delicate tissues of your eyes unless they are Occuplastic surgeons. With my haning neck skin, I was told that they doubted they could do any better than that. How's that? It wasn't what I paid for. I'd personally rather be balanced under the neck like I was before, than partially up. On a scale from 1-10 my lift was about a 6 I was told from another surgeon. Even Strax admitted it wasn't the best one they'd seen. No matter how accomodating they are in regards to fixing their mistakes, I'd be an idiot to go back to them a second time - especially around for my very pained eyes. Hopefully, I can help one person out there not go there.

Breast Agumentation
I have concerns about a surgery I had in Dec 2010. I went in for my breast. My major concerns were the breast and nipple on the left one was bigger than the other. I went to multiple doctors prior to going to Strax. Everyone wanted to charge me an arm and leg. When I went to Strax, the doctor I spoke with gave me confidence that he could fix the issue and for much less. I stated what all the other doctors had told me to do. He stated that he would not suggest those because once the implants were in there it would fix itself. Well needless to say... I went in as an A/B and now I have the exact same problem just as D/DD size. I have been searching how to go about this situation but after reading all the reviews, it really seems like that is no solution. If anyone finds a way to handle these issues please let me know. I guess, unless you a dead person on their table no one really wants to hear about your case.
I totally argee with alohababy...I had a tummy tuck and lipo done 12/27/11 by Dr. Nees- surgery and procedure went great...BUT the healing process has not been so great. Infection from surgery center...then after 3 months of dealing with 2 holes in my lower tummy(still have the open holes) 4 courses of the same antibotics...Dr. Nees and his staff keep canceling my appointments and rescheduling just to cancel again. I gave them $5500.00. PLEASE RESEARCH YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE YOU HAVE ANY PROCEDURE. Before the surgey all the staff at Strax was great, but after they do not want to see you if you have any problems. When talking to nursing staff about my infection I was told don't worry we see this kind of thing all the time! NO...If the procedure and staff doing the procedure are all sterile while the procedure is going on, then you should not get an infection. Also Have you every been to a doctors office that there is not a sink in the rooms to wash hands? Look around at Strax's rooms---NO SINK TO WASH HANDS=INFECTION!
While i understand you being frustrated by not everything being perfect, i have to share my wife's story. She was a A cup and her whole life she wanted to have her breast done. After two kids she also needed a lift. She saved money everywhere she could, even having a boob job jar fund in the house for loose change. We checked out other centers and ended up at Strax Rejuvenation. Their prices were the best and after a consult with Dr Hamm, we both felt she would be in good hands. She poured over the internet for facts and stories about boob jobs. She even watched videos on You Tube. She did her homework. She decided in Jan 2011 to have the breast aug and lift at Strax. And my wife could not be happier. She had many questions afterwords and Dr Hamm or the staff was there to answer each on every one. Her only regret is she didn't go bigger! Do your homework and ask questions. But we can tell you from first hand experience that Strax is a great place to go and they give you the best prices!
Strax Rejuvination - Pure Evil!
People, those of you who are considering surgery with Strax, if you have read all these posts and still thinking about the price that seems too good to be true...well, it is! If you still considering going with strax then I wish you good luck. However, make sure you stock up on some Prozac and some Valium before you let them cut you up. You know, just in case you end up with loop sided boobs or something in that nature, and will need somewhere to escape to mentally.
For those of you who already ended up with loop sided boobs and crooked noses, courtesy of Strax...contact me please.
I was the unlucky recipient of a crooked nose. I paid $4, 000 and went through the uncomfortable and depressing ordeal of two rhinoplasties only to end up with a worse nose than before. Are you hearing what I am saying? I actually paid them to make my nose look like it was hit with a baseball bat. Lovely ha?
I'm not giving up. I'm making this my personal objective in life to get some justice. I am not an idiot and I will not let people take advantage of me. If you feel the same way, please contact me.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I had a bad experience there too
Bad Plastic Surgery
I went to Strax Rejuvenation in September of 2010 to see Dr. Osak Omulepu one of the Plastic Surgeon there. He was to correct a breast surgery I had before. The correction he did was terrible and horrible. He made one napple smaller then the other and one of my breast is flatter then the other and the scars hurt till this day so bad. My breast looks so deformed. I did go back to him because one of my breast was hurting so bad. There was a big not made from the thread he made that skin grow over the thread and the pain was so unbearable. I would like you to close this terrible place down and investigate this place, so that one other women would go through this like I have. Unfortunitely, this place does not have Insurance to sue them. Please help me resolve this terrible and horrible situation for me and others.
I agree with you 100% my daughter had her breast done and still this day she is in so much pain and let us not talk about the scaring. I feel so bad for her, since she is a young woman and every day she has to look at these terrible scares.
All we want is justice and her money back. I also had work done as stated on top about my upper eye lids. I want my money back as well, since now I would have to get another surgery done to correct their stupid mistake.
Can you please tell me how to go about sueing them since they do not have any malpractice insurance- Do we sue the doctor, I would think he would have malpractice insurance to cover his ###.
By the way serveral people have died in this butcher place, please close this place down.
I agree with you 100%, I had a upper eye lift and the doctor took to much skin and now I can not sleep with tearing all night long and with pain, since I can not close my eyes.fully They gave me three options, 1. skin graph on top of my eyes. 2. Pick up the sides of my eyes to look like I was chinese and that would change my look. 3. Live with it. Those are the three options. This place is a butcher shop, they don't even have malpractic insurance so you can not sue. I guess they can do anything to a person and get away with it. This place need to be investigated and the State of Florida needs to revoke their license. This is a night mare for me to live with this terrible situation. If everyone who had a terrible experience with Strax Rejuvation please submitt your complaint so that they can close this butcher shop down. The first complaint on this page was my daughter's breast surgery a young girl that has to live with this horrible surgery. Run as fast as you can if you ever step a foot at this place. It maybe less money but you get what you pay for.
I went in 2013 for breast augmentation and a week later was hospitalized for 9 days due to a horrible infection that you mainly get by unsanitary conditions and had to have implant removed. It was horrible. They assured me that they would fix so crazily a year later I agreed since I had one boob. Still had to pay again another 1500. Went and had it fixed and a week later was hospitalized again with horrible infection that almost killed me. Had to go see another plastic surgeon and infectious disease specialist and practitioner for another year after having both breasts removed because it was so terrible I had drains in both breasts had to go in and it get it sucked out plus MRI, s and scans . Had to flush them everyday with saline and crazy contraption they had attached to me with tubes. Took a year to completely heal and I still have horrible pain from them just ripping the breast tissue underneath according to the new PS. Now I'm embarrassed so bad from they way they look and and was told the only procedure left would be fat transfer..don't even wanna know how how much that costs. But I'm now about 60 thousand in the hole . Don't go there save your money for someone that will not possibly kill you
My problems started in July of 15 I went in for a breast aug. When I came out my breasts were uneven and I had a large scar around my lt nipple the Dr. Jeffery Hamm said he would do them again for another $1000. So we did in Sept and again they were slightly off and now the scarring is severe and on both breasts I was then told I could be allergic to the stitches I never was before but ok after an argument and threatening to sue( I didn't know them that you can't sue because they have no med male insurances and they post nothing in there name so they have no assets) well the director comes in and tells me it's my body chemistry and we could go. A day after I came home I live in Il they called and said they'd do them again this time a lift and nipples reshaping in June of16 after that surgery my breasts are placed right but the scarring around my nipples is hideous, always red, itchy and painful. After my last appt the nurse said the Dr. would do them again if he had to. And by the way the scars from the lift are healing fine. Like I mentioned I looked into sueing and all I can do is make a complaint to the board of health and hope he's fined or let him try again. I wouldn't suggest going there the price is to good to be true. If you do stay away from Dr. Hamm.
I'm disgusted that STRAX remains open. I had my surgery with Dr. Harold Bass back June, 2013. They almost not only killed me with a breast lift and implants, I have terrible results and am having to get the implants removed and surgery redone due to the negligence of Strax. Once you have surgery, they are not NICE, the staff are rude and they still owe me a partial refund, but of course, they to date have never contacted me. I should have sued them, I would have one, but it was so emotionally upsetting to me, I just prayed this place would get shut down. THE OR IS DIRTY, the whole place is disgusting and they use OLD OLD equipment. SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN. If you google some of there dr.s they are all doctors who were kicked out of other states where they have complaints filed against them, previously killed patients during botched procedures as well. DO YOUR HOME WORK. STRAX is the Island of MIS FIT DOCTORS
i feel your pain, i went to get a breast lift and the results was horrible, i had big nasty scars on both breast, not even a year later they are starting to sag back down
Thanks to all of you for posting your results. I was going to make an appointment for a tummy tuck, but thanks to all of you, I changed my mind! Strax should be closed down for good and the doctors should be stripped of their license.
Pretty sure bruising should be UNDER garment where I had the lipo done!
OMG! Wish I would have seen these posts BEFORE my surgery! JUST had done yesterday 9/18/2015 and am in SO much pain from lipo. The "money" grubbers (as I felt) lied to me, told me 2 days, back to work. I am a single mom. I have hand and finger prints SOOOOO bad that you can SEE the lines from fingers in the bruising. Read few other threads from people and now am terrified to remove garment. Cant imagine whats under there! here is just 1 pic of the finger bruising... So now reading will take 2 months to just feel better... I was literally thrown into wheel chair and loaded into car RIGHT when opened my eyes... NO instructions on what to do next or any one to ask questions too. Afer ANY surgery, I was UNDER, thought I was supposed to wait like 45 minutes MINIMUM, until I was released... I was sleeping in car as My eyes were still closing and anastasia was still in affect. Here alone with 8 year old daughter and cant move... MISTAKE! I also feel all about the money and do NOT care about patients... I EVEN GOT A CONFIRMATION BY FKN TEXT... WHAT DR OFFICE DOES THAT... SMH
On 3 March 2015 I went to Strax for the pre-op session. The first thing they prepped me for drawing my blood. They had all of the Oreo items including the injections on a small table without a paper covering. Then the tech asked me to undress to do the ekg. I had misgivings because they have a window with the blinds half way up. I asked the tech to close the blinds she said that
No one is going to be staring. Then after that, they were about to have me lie on a plain black ugly chair. Then I asked the girl examining me 'arn't you going to put a cover on it?' They said the they don't have any. So what does the tech do? She placed a pink half garment top on it. I had to open it up and placed it myself. Anyway, I had the ekg. Then they asked to stand up so that they could take pictures of my body. i told them that I wanted the doctor to concentrate mainly on my abdomen; I was told that I would be allotted 4 litres of fat removal. Going forward, I had contacted Marcus the office coordinator and told him what transpired about the sanitary examining. He assured me that the conditions with preop and the operating room will not be like this. Anyway, I get to the office or 'medical center' at 7:22 am. The surgery was scheduled for 7:30am I went into the preop room. I was told to take off my clothes. Then the front desk nurse or assistant gives me a medicine stained blanket to cover up with. Dissapointed, I asked her for another one. She said that 'they are all like that.' After that a nurse came in the room, I asked her for another blanked, she said the same thing. Then the previous nurse came by and said that I am a pain in the neck. Finally the Dr Pane came in (1hr 45 min late). No apology. Then he marks me up with a ball-point pen on where I want the fat removal done. To my dismay, Dr. Pane took out only 1.8 liters of fluid - 2.25 lbs! I am 180 lbs. keep in mind that I realise that this is not for weight loss but I was assured 4 litres of fat removal. Later when I got home I had contacted him to ask how many litres was taken out with a bad attitude and condescending way. The next morning, I had called to speak with Dr. Pane about having extreme pain and that the prescriptions I received are very expensive. The doctor was very rudely said to me that they are not expensive the tylen I could get that over the counter and the percesad I could get via generic. Then I had asked the doctor about the minimum litres 1.8 that he took out of me at 180 lbs. He said that Im calling him 10 hrs later to ask him that? And that this line is for emergencies only. No apology and extremely rude! I told him that I called about me being in pain and that that was my second question presented to him.
I had an eyelift (supposed) done by dr Sherman, what a waste of money, why I had incisions I don't know, because he didn't even remove the fat pocket, he only made things worse than before
looking for a good atty to get my money back. BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES DON'T LIE...
everything he did will have to be redone at a high price
HORRIBLE! RESULT HERE, wife's breast is now scarred & is now a TURN-OFF from (2) corrective surgeries-2nd surgery was to replace large implant with the size that she had requested on 1st surgery(he placed a bigger size than the size requested without consent)
On the 2nd surgery i could see her muscle through a hole in her sutures & it could not heal as the hole was too big also it was becoming infected.)
Her Nose is WEAKENED from (2) corrective surgeries by this MADMAN & might go out of position if accidently impacted (she's always says "my nose, my nose..be careful")
Thank god for her personality!
Dr.Nees A.K.A the butcher of Miami! You screwed up my wife's nose/ breasts & had us pay for it, she is now scarred for life you!

Bad Cosmetic Surgery
3 years ago I had my bottom eye lids done by Dr. Osak Omulepu, Plastic Surgeon. This Sept 2010 he performed my upper lids. I guess you did not measure right, since he took to much skin from the top lids or should have not done the surgery since now I can not close my eyes fully. I can not sleep at night because I am tearing all night and in the day. I suffer with lost of pains in my eyes as well. I went to see him several time to complain about this and they gave me 3 options.
1. To do a skin Raft on top which I will not do because it would be very noticable and terrible looking.
2. To Tack or I should say pick up the ends of my eyes, which will change the shape of my eyes making me look like I am chinese.
3. Live with it.
This his horrible, I contacted a lawyer and he said that this place did not have any Insurance and I could not sue.
This same doctor did my daughter's bus and did a horrible job making one of her napples smaller then the other, and her scares are terrible and one bus is flater then the other.
The lawyer told me that he gets so many calls about this Strax Rejuvenation surgery place its a shame that all of us who had terrible surgery done can not do a dam thing about it.
I would like you to close this place down and do an investation on this horrible place, where women and men go resolve their problems and come out with terrible and horrible results.
This is Helene ehrke I posted about my surgery about 1/2 hour ago above
BEWARE! Dr. Omulepu has an Emergency Restriction Order by the FL Dept of Health effective 17 Feb 16. Here is the Miami Herald newspaper story: http://www.miamiherald.com/news/health-care/article62068527.html
Everyone should know if you had any bad plastic surgery with "Dr" Osak Omulepu he now has an Emergency Restriction Order (ERO) placed on him effective February 17, 2016. The allegations is that he injured and maimed 4 of his patients/victims within a 2 days span in May 2015. This "doctor" (use that term very loosely) does NOT have medical insurance and is NOT Board Cerified. All of the clinics he works out of Strax (closed) Vanity Cosmetic Surgery (Dr Ismael Labrador owner who himself was fined $54, 000.00 in 2007 for hiring unlicensed workers) who took down any connections of being with them, Spectrum Aesthetics, and now with Encore Plastic Surgery. This guy is only a contracted doctor that slices/dices females from one clinic to another with very little follow up care. Also, his old clinic Vanity Cosmetic Surgery (Dr. Ismael Labrador and Aimee De La Rosa) is also under the FL State Attorney Investigation for not refunding patients/victims their refunds.
Here are all of the links and stories. You can also go to the FL Dept of Health and verify their licenses and see the actual documents which shows their past and current discipline. You MUST complain to the FL Dept of Health if you have been a victim:

Strax Rejuvenation is known for many as a perfect meat market or a plastic surgery factory. I also had a horrible experience
when I went there to change my breast implants because I had old silicon gel implants broken inside my body. Unfortunately I chose the wrong place when I went to Strax and consult my surgery with dr Fisher who stated having an extense experience doing this type of surgery. I had gone thru 4 surgeries betewen 2008 and 2010 trying to fix my breast because they never looked even, now my right breast is not even round and when I laid down it looks like the implant is going to pop out of my thin skin product of the multiple surgeries also I believe the scars are very large. I had paid near $9.000.00 in all this mess. I agree with you, something should to be done Is not fear that because they don't carry malpractice insurance this doctors keep on disfiguring people. I am willing to get together and help to obtain justice.
Hello I’ve had problems with Strax as well. Can you refer me to a good attorney? ashleahodges@yahoo.com please and thank you !
I had a tummy tuck and breast lift October of 2017 right after hurricane Irma . My stomach stitches must have split or something or I wasn’t stitched properly, I looked like I had 2 extra belly buttons, even though prober care on my part was done as directed, it got infected and the holes just wouldn’t close up hot I CR Ted and formed shoe leather scans. I had several debreiments done both at Strax on university avenue and when I returned home to New Jersey. I was told by dr zeichner the surgeon that because my complexion was so light the scars would disappear and the 2 very deep holes will fill in on their own. I did return to Florida and continued post op From the same surgeon. Until I was then treated by nurses. And when asked why I was no longer seeing dr zeichner I was told he had eye surgery and would be out for several weeks. He eventually did come back and still treated me. I was talked into a vitamin infusion drip one a week prior to surgery scheduled for the 2nd one one week after the surgery all for $350.00, it was to promote and lessen the healing process. The original surgery was scheduled just before Gloria in September do I got the 1st infusion prior to the scheduled surgery and then surgery was cancelled for over a month due to scheduling and accommodating the other patients rescheduling after the hurricane . I called the office to cancel the 2nd infusion because it was scheduled for before the actual surgery occurred, I had assumed they were going to eat the 1st infusion redo it then schedule the 2nd one week after my new scheduled surgery date. The infusions were pre paid. They would not do that however after s long battle I was given s partial refund.
Bottom line it’s almost 2 years after both surgeries done at the same time . I feel like a freak. My right boob has a red zig zag scar that will never go away and 2 dents from the tummy tuck that will never look normal. I was also cut from hip bone to hip bone. I was told by other doctors that it should have been reopened when they already knew the chances of it never looking normal would never happen .
I firmly believe that because the eye surgery dr Zeichner had not much after he performed my surgery he should not have been practicing any surgery until he was well enough to see correctly in order to perform a plastic surgery both he and I would be proud of. I am in my 60’s and if I new my body would be compromised with such ugly scars I may have decided against any surgery in the first place. Plastic surgery is done to enhance your body not to feel embarrassed about the appearance of my body. What a waste of money, I would love to get it redone where as I don’t feel like a freak but can’t afford to and should not have to pay for something I already paid for. I have pics to prove what I am saying is true. If there is any legal recommendations please call me at([protected] . Thank you
Just because they don't have insurance doesn't mean it's legal for them to disfigure people. They still have assets that we can go after. The lawyers are probably just money hungry and too lazy. They want to do little for a lot of money. This is a big fight so that turns them off. There's got to be something that can be done. And I think I know the answer. We need to gather an army and file a class action suit. We can all share the cost of lawyers so it won't be that expensive. I am so angry that it's becoming a personal goal for me to hit Strax where it hurts. Contact me people, please.
My name is Amy I too had a bad experience call me at [protected]
I’ve had surgery done there a mommy makeover gone wrong! My breast augmentation is a inch difference in height, the doctor told me it would go down gravity would help that. It’s been well over a year my left breast is still a inch or more higher and also harder and hurts! I’m looking for some legal advice? Any recommendations?
Do Not have surgery there if you want good results
Strax cosmetic surgery center in Ft Lauderdale, FL, is the worse place to have any procedure done if you want a good or even fair outcome. Very few people are happy with theresults and you look worse post-op than before. I guess you really get what you pay for. I had a simple blepharoplasty there (to correct excessive skin and fat on the upper and lower eye lids) and 2 years later I look horrible, with ugly scars and dimples at the corners of my eyes. When you complain, they quickly remind you that they do not guarantee the outcome. They don't care as they already have your money. I have since met many unhappy people who have had plastic procedures there. There have also been quite a few deaths.
Consider this a warning if you care about getting good results from any plastic surgery procedure.
