I was referred to Louis R Mandris by a friend who seemingly looked great, but after 6 months when I went back to that friend and shared my experience with her she told me she has a slight double bubble but assumed it was her fault because she told him she wouldn't wear the shoelaces. Ladies, having a double bubble isn't normal a normal result. Definitely don't recommend a dr who has left you with one.
Searching The medical board of California and finding nothing, know that is a false sense of security as Louis R Mandris and the anesthesiologist Nancy Mink are involved in a devastating lawsuit since 2018 which involves loss of eye sight, ability of speak and severe brain damage.
I signed up for tummy tuck and breast augmentation thru armpit. What I received was a botched disaster. Louis R Mandris did not complete the muscle repair for my tummy tuck, my belly button is crooked and off center, I have 4" scars in my armpit rather than 'about 1" scar' because of the 650cc monsters he forced into my body. I scoured the internet to find someone with breast similar to how bad mine looked and found nothing comparable.
My cliff notes version of my experience:
My first post op visit Louis R Mandris greeted me by saying,"Well, I saw this perfect little body in front of me and it just needed the boobies to match, so we threw in some 650's." One nurse scolded,"Dr!" As I said,"What?" Louis R Mandris quickly chided,"Anything less than 650 would've been a terrible result." His 2 nurses then exclaimed how great my boobies looked when we removed the bra(poor quality, to boot). Louis R Mandris then said,"You've got a bit of a double bubble on the right side, but that should massage out in a few days." At this point there was nothing I could do but trust the years of experience and the expertise I was told Louis R Mandris had.
My next appt I was greeted with,"Let's check out your frankenboobs." & "yeah, that looks pretty ugly. Let's hope it rubs out, just keep massaging them."
My next appt after Louis R Mandris ripped out my drains & I was nearly passing out from the pain, Louis R Mandris said,"Girl, we need to get you some Botox in that forehead." This same appt I was given the shoestrings for when the breast fold is lowered, which I was also told wasn't necessary with the amount of skin I had available-but Louis R Mandris did lower my breast fold to fit the monstrous implants Dr. Mandris forced into my body. See photo 3 for scarring that developed.
When I consistently brought up during my appts the bulging above my newly crooked belly button, Louis R Mandris would reply with,"The swelling can take up to a year to subside." At one appt, Dr. Louis R Mandris ignored my questioning and brought a nurse in to show her how well my scar had healed so as to change the subject and move on. Upon receiving the surgeons report, this was just another lie of Louis R Mandris, as Louis R Mandris states muscle repair wasn't done and was never part of the plan. Muscle repair was the reason and whole point for the tummy tuck, it was not only discussed, it was in the paperwork I signed.
I could continue, but this is the cliff notes, not the novel.
I see a lot of women on here commenting how awful Louis R Mandris is, but the staff is nice....this staff is just as guilty as the dr. Please stop trying to rectify the hugely horrendous 'services' being delivered by this office in this manner. You owe them nothing. Louis R Mandris, his nurses Nikki(sp) Mary Lou or Marlene(Sp), Nichole or Nicole Simms the consultant, they're all at fault. They all know what is happening within the office but all will lie straight to your face telling you everything looks amazing and normal when they know damn well the grave mistakes and tragedies and humiliation Louis R Mandris is at fault for.
Louis R Mandris' victims who've been brave enough to stand up and share their humiliating experience on here, find the mental anguish from him doesn't stop as he comes onto Yelp labeling himself as John Q and attacks and bullies them again. Louis R Mandris, his staff, this company and office are a disgusting group.
If you've had any type of services from them, and you've been treated poorly or left with unsatisfactory results but feel it can't be legally handled for one reason or another, you aren't alone and you aren't helpless. You can submit a complaint to the Medical Board of California. Yes, it's extra work on our part, but as a victim of Louis R Mandris, it needs to be done to help prevent Louis R Mandris from victimizing anyone else. Don't sit in silence. Bad reviews were previously under not recommended, which is why I never saw them. Do what you can to make these reviews stay relevant so people may make informed decisions. read more
