BEWARE BEFORE SPENDING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON A BBL FILLER AT IC MED SPA…read more
Please check pics of before and after
I wish I could give zero stars.
I have gone back and forth about writing this review, but after spending $5,400 on a procedure that completely dissolved and left me paying off a loan for results I no longer have, I feel other women deserve to know my experience.
On October 9, I had a 600 mL BBL filler augmentation performed at IC Med Spa by Inna. I chose the largest package because I wanted long-lasting results. During my consultation, I was told the results would last about a year and a half, and that I could simply get a touch-up after that if I wanted to maintain my results. That expectation is what convinced me to move forward with such a significant financial commitment.
Within just a few weeks, I noticed the volume rapidly disappearing. By November 17, I had already returned for a follow-up because I was so concerned. I showed Inna how much the filler had already dissolved, explained how unhappy I was, and I have photos and messages documenting those conversations.
Instead of offering a solution that reflected the amount of money I had spent, I was told to wait. As time went on, the filler continued dissolving until it completely disappeared. When I reached out again, the only option offered was to pay for another procedure with only a small discount. After spending $5,400, I was expected to spend thousands more because the original results didn't last as I had expected based on my consultation.
I was also advised to stop going to the gym and eat more so the filler would last longer. I followed that advice, gained weight, and still lost all of the filler. Now I have to work to lose the weight I gained while having none of the results I paid for. Instead of feeling more confident, my confidence has been shattered, and my plans for feeling confident this summer have been completely ruined.
One of the most frustrating parts of this experience happened after I expressed my concerns. Shortly after I told Inna how disappointed I was with how quickly my results were disappearing, I saw a social media story explaining that clients come in three times a year to maintain their results. That was shocking because that was never explained to me before I paid. I agreed to this procedure because I was told my results would last around 18 months, with a touch-up after that--not that maintenance could involve multiple expensive treatments every year. If that information had been disclosed during my consultation, I would never have spent $5,400.
I also specifically asked that my photos and videos not be used for marketing. Despite my request, they were still used. I believe potential clients deserve to see realistic expectations over time, not only the immediate after-results.
What hurts the most is how my concerns were handled. I wasn't asking for anything unreasonable. I had just spent thousands of dollars, trusted someone with my body, and returned within weeks because I was unhappy with how quickly my results were disappearing. Instead of feeling heard or supported, I felt dismissed. There was no complimentary correction offered, no meaningful effort to address my concerns, and no follow-up to make sure I was satisfied. I was simply told that if I wanted my results back, I would need to pay again.
Women work incredibly hard for their money. We save, finance procedures, and trust professionals because these decisions are deeply personal. This wasn't a small cosmetic treatment--it was a $5,400 investment that I'm still paying off every month for something I no longer have.
Looking back, I wish I had put that money toward a real surgical BBL or a mommy makeover instead. At least I would still have results to show for it.
This review reflects my personal experience. I encourage anyone considering this procedure to ask detailed questions about how long the results typically last, how often maintenance is actually required, what happens if the results fade much sooner than expected, and what the true long-term cost may be before making such a major financial commitment.
