want to leave a 5-star review for Ale in the post-op department. She has been incredibly caring and attentive throughout my recovery, especially while I've been going in for follow ups on a wound I developed after my breast surgery. She treats me with such kindness and gentleness that it genuinely feels like I'm being cared for by a mother figure. Her patience, attention to detail, and support have made my healing process much easier. I truly appreciate everything she has done for me. read more

Avoid Avana Plastic Surgery at all costs. Before moving forward, I carefully read and reviewed my contract, including the refund policy, which clearly stated that refunds would be processed within 30 days. Based on that written agreement, I canceled my procedure due to unexpected financial circumstances and expected the company to honor the timeline outlined in their own contract. I waited the full 30 days patiently, only to then be told my refund would be delayed even further until June 18, 2026. Meanwhile, thousands of dollars of MY money is still being held, and I still have no completed transaction confirmation available. The most frustrating part is that I specifically made sure to thoroughly read the agreement beforehand to avoid exactly this type of situation. Please be careful before giving this company your money. Read every detail closely, ask questions in writing, and make sure you fully understand how refund disputes are actually handled. My experience has caused unnecessary stress, financial hardship, and disappointment. read more

BEWARE OF THIS CLINIC Here's my story with Avana Miami, I'm a victim of a botched surgery with Avana at the hands of Dr. Mark Schusterman in Miami. I went in for a blepharoplasty, specifically requesting a "cat-eye" look. Like many others, I was promised everything online and encouraged to pay upfront. But once you arrive, they often push a completely different procedure. You're left with the choice of going through with something you didn't originally plan for or waiting months for a refund,if they even agree to refund you at all. My eyes were severely botched. I cried to their office for four months, and instead of taking responsibility, they kept insisting I needed a coronal lift to see improvement. I asked for a revision because my eyes looked so bad. They guaranteed results and had me pay for the coronal lift. Then, on the day of surgery, the office manager told me that Dr. Schusterman decided I didn't need the lift after all and would perform a revision instead. That "revision" made my eyes even worse. The most heartbreaking part is that because this was considered cosmetic and not medically necessary, no lawyer was willing to take the case. I also had neck liposuction, and now the skin and fat on my neck are hanging, making me look older instead of younger. Please, do your research before trusting anyone with your body. To anyone else who feels they've been harmed by Avana, we should come together and explore possible legal action. No one deserves to go through this. Look at my profile picture prior to getting botched. First surgery was in April 2025, revision in September 2025. This is how I look thanks to Bodybyavana Yes i received my refund for the coronal lift ... but my face is scared forever. read more

On the day of my pre-operative appointment, I paid an additional $220 for the faja and injection after already paying $2800 for Lipo 360. During that appointment, however, Dr. Yee expressed significant concerns about proceeding with the surgery due to scar tissue from my previous liposuction. This information was already known to the practice, documented in my medical records, and disclosed well in advance of my surgery date. I was cancelled and they took my money. Dr. Yee felt off or on some drugs like coke. He convinced me to not do the surgery and now they wont refund me. They also forged my signature on a vaginal consent form which under no circumstance does a plastic surgeon preforming lipo 360 need to enter into a vagina. The signaure is not my signature and I intentionally did not sign that. Today when I logged on to my portal to see my refund status , I saw they signed that document. STAY AWAY! GET LEGAL INVOLVED. read more

Dr Mameniskis Careful with who you do procedure, this doctor butchered my boobs took too much skin I couldn't stand up straight , and deformed my body too, did procedures that I didn't ask for. I came back there and he told me to put Vaseline a bactrin on it, and said nothing could be done, besides that. My meat is exposed in my breast. Horrible job read more

Dr. Mameniskis has KILLED women on the operating take. PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH!! They will steal money from you if you book and cancel even within 1 day! $500 just for booking. Never even had a consult or anything to warrant a $500 fee. The whole team is a bunch of scammers!! I can understand if I cancelled within a few days of surgery but it was booked over a month out. The woman on phone PRESSURED ME into believing it would be $10k for a mommy makeover and it was a one time offer so I was dumb and took it. Then realized I could DIE. NO THANK YOU!! Do NOT CALL THIS ESTABLISHMENT THE REVIEWS ARE FAKE!! read more

Avana Plastic Surgery - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - Miami, Florida

I had surgery with Dr. Moridian at Avana Plastic Surgery, and it has been one of the worst decisions of my life. Before my surgery, I sent in photos and paid in full for a tummy tuck, breast augmentation, and chin liposuction. On the day of surgery, I met Dr. Moridian for the first time only about 10-30 minutes before being put under anesthesia. He came in, marked my body, and told me he thought I should get a breast lift without implants--something I clearly said I did not want. He reassured me that I would look great and then left. When I woke up, I was in severe pain, lying in a large recovery room packed with other women -- at least ten of us -- all groaning and in visible agony. It felt chaotic, unprofessional, and rushed. Patients were being brought in and out like an assembly line. My results have been a total nightmare. I was left with severe scarring, a distorted belly button, and signs of infection during recovery. When I tried to reach out for help afterward, I received little to no response or support. I'm sharing my experience to warn other women -- please do your research and be extremely careful before choosing this clinic or surgeon. I wish I had known what I know now. My results are permanent, and the emotional and physical toll has been overwhelming. read more

I booked a surgery with this company last year and paid a $4,000 deposit. From the very beginning, my experience with their staff was not pleasant. I often found them to be rude and dismissive when I asked questions, which actually made me hesitant to move forward with paying the deposit sooner. The day after I finally made the payment, I decided to cancel after reading multiple concerning reviews and hearing negative experiences from others. Combined with the customer service I had already experienced -- and the fact that the surgery would have taken place in Miami while I live in Los Angeles -- I no longer felt comfortable taking the risk. Per the agreement I signed, there is a $500 cancellation fee, which I understood and accepted. That meant I was supposed to receive a $3,500 refund. I canceled during the first week of September 2025, and since then I have been trying to get my refund with no success. It has now been months, and I still have not received my money. I have called repeatedly -- at times almost every business day -- and I am constantly told someone will call me back, but no one ever does. This entire process has been extremely frustrating and stressful. Between the rude communication from staff and the ongoing delay in issuing my agreed refund, my experience has been very disappointing. Based on my experience with both customer service and billing, I cannot recommend this company. I hope they resolve this matter and improve how they treat and communicate with clients in the future. read more

One Year After Surgery - Devastated by the Results I had a breast lift with implants done at this clinic a year ago, and now I'm finally ready to share my honest experience. Unfortunately, the outcome has been deeply disappointing. From the very beginning, I developed huge, bright red scars. A year later, they still haven't healed. They've turned into thick, raised keloid scars that are extremely visible and seemingly impossible to treat. They make me feel incredibly self-conscious. In addition, I've completely lost sensation in my nipples, and about 50% of my breast area is numb. My nipples look uneven and asymmetrical, and the overall appearance of my breasts is far from what I was promised. When I asked questions early on, I was told everything would settle, improve, and look better over time. That never happened. Now, a year later, I am emotionally and mentally struggling. My relationship ended because of how I feel about my body. I can't look at myself, and I feel ashamed to undress. This surgery has made me feel disfigured. I may now need revision surgery and possibly scar removal -- I don't know where to start or how much it will cost. I deeply regret choosing this clinic. If you're considering surgery, please do thorough research. For me, this has been a traumatizing experience rather than a transformation. read more

I wore my garments for 4 months now and had over 30 lymphatic massages. My arms are just ruined. I didn't have big or bad arms before and now they are lumpy and horribly uneven. I will never be able to wear short sleeves without a revision. The plastic surgeon in Michigan seen my arms before and after and said this is a botched mess. My neck had skin before but now its uneven on the right side and good on the left. It looks horrible. My BBL was good but unfortunately I now have alot of fat loss. Im just sad my arms and neck are ruined and will cost me thousands of dollars to correct the uneven lipo. I have a piece of fat on my neck that I can grab on the right and it is so uneven. I should have only done the bbl because my arms were smooth and my neck was not perfect but now its an uneven nightmare. I trusted this plastic surgeon company unfortunately. read more

Been waiting on my refund since May 19 I've been talking to Estrella through email telling her that my old account is closed emailed her several times she still has not respond. I've been trying to give her an update on my new banking information and routing and account number. I called the clinic I get put on hold for 10 minutes and she says she can't get no one on the phone either which makes no sense that billing and the refund department is not answering the phone. Also, I gave my updated information for my refund to Daniela and she said receive thanks so basically they're giving me the runaround because I called the avana plastic surgery today and she told me oh I have to tell refund department not billing department which is the department that Daniela works in and all she has to say after being on the phone for 15 minutes at this time was she'll put a note. I'm so glad I'm not going through surgery with them. They're very inconsistent if you're that inconsistent on the phone how would I ever trust you putting me to sleep and operating on my body give me my $4000 back please and thank you. It should've been the whole 4500 but they have some $500 deductible for absolutely nothing because I didn't get no service My name is Breonna Porter I would like my refund as soon as possible and for it to be submitted to my new account which I supply the banking and routing number. I've been trying to contact people over and over again still nothing. read more

This review is for Dr. Mark Schusterman. I had a deep plane face lift done along with my eyes and my chin. I have had horrible results and i now have horrible scars that are noticeable. Before i looked very old, now i look old with scars. I cant pull my hair up or back because of an incision scar that runs down my face and hideous scars that run behind my ears (the doctor made no attempt to hide them within my hairline). I'm very depressed regarding this and at some point i intend to have scar revisions. I thought i had done a lot of research regarding this decision and this doctor.................. i have to live with this, for now. I don't have the energy to write a long detailed review, just know that Avana is not where you want to go for plastic surgery. read more

Avana Plastic Surgery - Refund request screen just says processing since 7/31 - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - Miami, Florida

Selena Scott, This review was done 26 days ago and it has taken this long to get a response from you. You're part of the problem with the refund process. It has now been about 100 business days since the refund initiation. I have received an email in 8/14 staring my refund was processed and would take 5-7 business days. I then receive another email today stating the same thing. Does sending a new email indicate that it will take another 5-7 business days? Honestly, I do not understand how this place is still in business. read more

I flew from California in December of 2025, before everything my Doctor had to be changed two times, not because of me. The first Surgeon left and I had no idea, not until I called did they inform me, so then I chose Dr. Salama and once the date got closer they told me he was going to be out on vacation and that I could change my surgeon or the date. I had already requested time off which I'm limited on and bought tickets so I decided to go with DR Palacio. The front desk girl was kind so I do appreciate her but once weeks went by post recover from my lipo 360, bbl, chin lipo and arms. My swelling had gone down and my stomach was uneven my arms were very uneven and only a little section was done when I was told the whole bottom area would be getting Lipo when I scheduled. Along with my back the gluteal area and about 3 inches from it was done fine but the rest up to where my chest would be nothing was taken out. Even the lady who did my massages in California said it was not done well and things were very uneven and still are,when I was told 360 would be anything below the chest area and it's clearly uneven and only a small area was done. I emailed the medical assistant and never heard back find out she had left . I spoke with someone else and was told to send pictures and that the surgeon would call me back and never heard back until I requested a refund. Then they tried to reach out although I told them I worked in a Prison where I cant have my phone on me and to please call me such day and time the next day, and they said they would and never called. Once again I emailed and they told me I would be called today which I made time before my shift to receive the call and nobody called. I have friends who also made their deposit but now I will give them my honest opinion about them. read more

Worst post operational care I end up with the open wounds no one cares no one calls no one tried to help. I'm seeing another surgeon to help me with my wounds. I had a face and neck lift it looks like I have never done nothing. I would not recommend this to any woman. The head nurse was supposed to send me an email so I can upload pictures for her. She never did. They never gave me a paperwork about my surgery. They never talk to me about the implants I had about the brand very very suspicious place should be shut down. Don't recommend to anyone. read more

Steer far away from this place. I scheduled a surgery with Dr Hassan for January 2026, I paid a total of $650 so far. I then receive a phone call yesterday stating that Dr Hasaan has ended his contract with Avana and they could recommend other surgeons - I stated I did NOT want to go with another provider as I have already done my research on the doctors and the clinic itself and at this time I don't want another doctor to perform my procedure. I was told to put in a refund request for the funds that I have already paid. I did that and today one of the representatives from the refund department calls me to let me know that if I did decide to cancel I world be a charged a $500 cancellation fee. Why?! When this is not my fault and I shouldn't be forced to see another surgeon if I don't want to. This young lady kept referring to the policy that was signed - I let this lady know this was not being canceled because of something I wanted but simply because the provider is NO LONGER AT THE CLINIC. The way they are handling this when this is something that was done on their behalf is DIGUSTING! This place is money hungry. I wouldn't trust them with my life since it seems like all they are worried is money versus the livelihood of their patients. I have done much research when I selected my provider and I chose him because I take my life and body seriously. Plastic surgery is not a game and I refuse to just go to anybody. I will NEVER recommend this place to anybody and I will make sure I spread the word about how they treat people when it comes to refunding their money if a provider is no longer at the clinic. DISGUSTING! Avana you all need to do better. Check the pictures they apparently do this to everyone! SCAMMERS!!!! read more

I wish I would've read the reviews prior to booking with this place. Been waiting almost a YEAR for a refund. UNACCEPTABLE! I've been calling to follow up for MONTHS with no resolution. There's no way it should take this long for a refund. Back in April 2024 when I initially started the process for refund, I was told that it takes 90 business days and that I would be automatically refunded if it reached the 90 day mark. Well again, that was last year. I had to call back again to (I guess) get the refund process looked at again and was told that they would look into it and process the refund asap. That was Jan 2025 and it's now going on April 2025 and I still haven't received a refund. No call back. Very scam-like behavior. Then I look at the other comments and see that others were having the same issue and I see where someone from Avana went ahead and processed their refund. Make it make sense! Just beware because things happen and if you can't make it to your appointment or decide to go through with the procedure, you'll go through hell before receiving that refund. read more

My surgery was scheduled for July 28, 2025, but it was never performed due to the clinic's lack of coordination between the administration and clinical department. I was required to pay the full amount of $6,100 for a facelift three days before the procedure. Only hours after I made the payment, I was told during intake that I would need a "special clearance" from my hematologist. The clinic knew very well that I had traveled from New York to Miami exclusively for this surgery, and as a result of your lack of responsibility I incurred significant travel expenses. The surgery was not done because there was no time left for me to obtain this document from my doctor in New York. I immediately requested a refund, but it was not returned. I then attempted to reschedule the same procedure in August with Dr. Schusterman. I was informed he would be out for personal reasons for about two weeks, but no one ever followed up with me. Now, after calling multiple times, I was finally told in September--by email--that the surgeon may not return until November. This situation is unacceptable. I am formally demanding the immediate return of my full payment of $6,100. If this refund is not processed without further delay, I will have no choice but to escalate this matter through formal complaints and legal action. read more

I tried reaching out but once they work on you they dont answer or help you. I am extremely dissatisfied with my nose result

This review is for Dr Mark Schusterman. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Schusterman. I spent about three years looking into different doctors, and not once did I feel truly comfortable, until I met him. From the start, I could tell he was experienced and trustworthy. I never found a single bad thing said about him, and now I understand why. I struggle with really bad anxiety, and honestly, I almost didn't go through with my surgery because of it. But Dr. Schusterman was so patient and kind, especially on the day of my procedure, that I felt safe putting my trust in him. He performed an extended tummy tuck, lipo 360, and arm and chin lipo for me. The results are better than I ever imagined. For the first time in years, I feel confident in my own skin again, and that's something I'll always be grateful for. Thank you, Dr. Schusterman, for giving me back my confidence. I wish I could say it a million times: THANK YOU! read more

This has been the most HORRIFIC experience ever, from the advertised price being a lie and going up $1250 more and counting the thousand plus needed at pre-op day. A $250 dollar deposit going up to $500. No call backs, no return emails, and when you do speak to someone the twisting of words just to get you on the books, once booked and deposit paid, they become inpatient with you and that starts the no call backs, the frustration behind it all, and because there is a $500 cancellation fee, so I chalked it up as a loss!! Do your homework, don't be too anxious to stop here, shop around, this is a very unprofessional crowd! Scammers to say the least. Very, very disappointed! read more

If you think you will get a refund, you can forget about it. They lie and say it is 60 days then turn around and say 90 days, no one ever responds, and when they do, they say processing.

My experience following a "Mommy Makeover" performed by Dr. Luster at Avana Plastic Surgery in July 2025 was catastrophic, resulting in severe and potentially negligent complications. The postoperative course was rapidly complicated by a confirmed Pseudomonas aeruginosa surgical site infection. This infection necessitated an emergency explantation of a breast implant, led to nipple necrosis and subsequent loss, and resulted in a significant, disfiguring breast deformity. Furthermore, the abdominoplasty incision experienced dehiscence and required multiple surgical debridements. Despite repeatedly raising concerns regarding purulent drainage and wound breakdown, Dr. Luster allegedly failed to adhere to the standard of care by not recommending urgent infectious disease consultation or emergency department evaluation, resulting in delayed aggressive treatment. The resulting complications have led to extensive financial losses, significant work absences, and profound emotional distress. Reconstructive surgery is now required to address the disfigurement. Furthermore, the facility still owes a documented $1,440.00 refund, which remains unpaid four months post-procedure. Prospective patients are urged to thoroughly research this facility's complication rates before seeking treatment. If you would like to speak to me personally reach me at Michellefontern@aol.com Michelle Ozete read more

Where do I begin. I went in October to have a MMO. Everyone was super nice, absolutely love Dr. Schusterman, the facility was clean and nice. There was an issue during my surgery and all I ended up getting was some lipo. When I woke up from my surgery they told me what happened and that I would be getting a refund for everything except the lipo. Fast forward to today and still do not have my refund. They keep telling me that it takes 30 to 60 business days however the paper I signed said I would receive the refund within 30 days. Not business days. I really wanted to go back to have my surgery finished but there is no reason why the refund should take this long and unfortunately, I do not think I will be going back. And now I have to get my attorney involved. read more

I've been calling them about my refund and suddenly the finance team has been really busy I even sent them emails regarding my refund and they still haven't acknowledged it. I am going to take legal action if I don't get my refund in November. Please be aware and do your research before coming here. If I knew this place was a SCAM I would've never came here read more

My wife and I went to Florida for Face and Neck Lifts in June. My wife went on a Tuesday and I was scheduled for Wednesday. I picked my wife up Tuesday afternoon. We returned to our hotel and her neck began swelling. I called the office and was told the doctor would call back in 20 minutes. He did not call. I called again several times. Finally I call for emergency care. We would up at a trauma center where an active beefing vessel was found in my wife's neck. She spent four days on a respirator and was discharged a week after her surgery at Avana and two additional surgeries at the trauma center. Clearly neglect surgery and I nearly lost my wife! Obviously I had to cancel my procedure to care for her and three months later no refund for my surgery. Pathetic care, indifferent to numerous requests for a refund. Beware, these are back people!! read more

They never refunded me and they keep lying. Chelsey the refund "specialist" was upset so she canceled my refund. How unprofessional.

This is by far the worst plastic surgery clinic. I paid $10,000 for my mom's facial procedure, and the results were terrible. Her face not only didn't improve but actually looks 10 times worse.

This is the worst plastic surgery center ever. No one cares for you, no clear instructions whatsoever. They won't spend time with you and most of them don't speak english. They lie in a bunch of things. Very very very unprofessional. Dr Mameniskis, omg! He's the worst doctor ever!!! He sees me 3 minutes in and out. Don't be fooled with their cheap quotes, it will end up far more anyways. I was quoted for 7500 ended up paying 10k. It was supposed to be lipo 360 and which was supposed to includes upper back, flanks, upper tummy areas, bra rolls, back armpits, underarms and bbl reductions. He did only upper tummy and butt areas, he didn't do anything on my upper back, at least those that I can see some improvement. I paid for all of them and he only liposuctioned those areas. Such a big disappointment for me. When I asked him he tried to play around with uis words and just won't give me a straight answer. So many other things happened there were so unpleasant and unprofessional. Ask me privately and I'll let you know everything. Davaar6575@gmail.com. read more

Okay WORTH THE READ! For starters they are good with responding to emails and calling you back etc! I booked my surgery a year out and I will say don't book just save and wait for the sale! I booked my surgery feb 2022; surgery was Jan 5 2024, so I had plenty of time to save on my own and wait for the sale! I paid $5700 for Dr. Moridian & then they had a sale for $4700 (black Friday/Christmas) Nonetheless it is what it is. A month prior they ask for your labs to clear you for surgery and that was all well and good. My Pre-Op coordinator was "Estephany Pacheco; she was very nice and professional. Now everything was done now time to fly to Miami. Pre-op was easy, I met w my doctor and he told me he wanted me to get cell saver (extra $600) I did it bc it's better but now we're at $6300. PREOP was RUSHED. Everything there is RUSHED that's the ONE of the things I hated about AVANA. I had so many questions and I just felt like I couldn't think bc I felt like they were just trying to see me and just be done. Doctor saw me and told me what he's gonna do and it was so quick like maybe 5-10 mins TOPS. Like idk about you but I feel like we should have more time? Like we're about to undergo surgery and why is it so rushed? I wanted to ask things that came to mind and I just was like "I guess I'll save it for tomorrow (day of surgery)". DAY OF... I was the first patient for Dr. Moridian for the day, so I was excited about that. Again rushed; we chatted for like 5 mins guys.. then he marked me up and told me he was gonna see me in the OR. I will say I did like Dr. Moridian, he's very nice and very confident. Then I met w the anesthesiologist and he took me to the OR. And that was it I woke up with a new body! NOW THIS PART YOUR GOING TO WANT TO READ!! THEY RUSH YOU OUT THAT DAMN PLACE LIKE THEY NEED THE BEDS FOR THE ER! I WOKE UP SHIVERING (normal waking up from anesthesia) but I thought I was gonna die. I was FREEZING. Shaking nonstop. The moment they saw me moving around I hear "she's up, she's up". They came over to me and told me to get up ( I just woke up form surgery and their telling me to get up?) idk if my legs work yet lol like I was dizzy, nauseous, I was having hot flashes and felt like I was going to faint, and very scared. I got up; with any strength I had and they put me in a wheelchair. I felt like I was slowly fading away. They didn't care; they wanted me OUT!!! I thought the doctor would come after and see how I'm doing . NOPE. They kicked me out of that place so fast like they had to pick up their kids. They also make you pay for your meds! $160; for oxy, nausea medication and antibiotics. Next day was my first massage.. AVANA- pls do better. Your massage rooms are uncomfortable and dingy. The blinds don't close so you essentially just naked in front of the parking lot.. the ladies all the do is talk about the newest gossip.. I bought the 10 massage package; $850 comes with 2 fajas, 10 massages, IV DRIP (dk if I actually got it) & board and a bbl pillow. Do yourself a favor and DONT; there's plenty of other places that will make you feel more comfortable getting your massages, or at least give you a bra to get massaged in, so your not flashing the entire parking lot. The bbl pillow is cheap and the board I did not use. Just get everything yourself trust me. Overall the ladies WERE kind. But I feel like they can do way better to make us feel way more comfortable. Conclusion.. if your looking for a doctor to communicate with you - not the place for that. Everything is rushed. After post op my doctor came in for 3 mins.. said I looked good and was running out the door trying to ask him questions. 4 stars bc I love my body! Dr. Moridian is the GOAT & honestly should work somewhere else or just get his own private practice. He delivered but AVANAs social media is deceiving. It's an in and out body shop. Hope this helps. read more

Avana Plastic Surgery - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - Miami, Florida

Doctor Mameniskis did my upper and lower blepharoplasty He did a terrible job. The scars are uneven, the stitches were barbarically done and pulled so tight it left folds and ceases on my skin. He made the procedure significant more painful and uncomfortable than it needed to be and I now need corrective surgery. The office experience was also not great, they forgot to prescribe me antibiotics. read more
