I had breast implants, a tummy tuck, and liposuction with Dr. Jon S. Wilensky on August 17, 2023. I…read morepurposely waited to write this review because I wanted to be fair. Everything I read said to give your body plenty of time to heal before judging your results, so I did. I also kept notes throughout the process because I knew I wouldn't remember every detail later.
Looking back, I realize there were red flags from the beginning that I ignored because I trusted the process.
My consultation with Dr. Wilensky was done over Zoom. At the time, I didn't think much of it, but looking back, I wish I had insisted on an in-person consultation and gotten a second opinion. During that consultation, I explained that I wanted fuller, perkier breasts and asked about adding a breast lift. I was told I didn't need one because of the position of my nipples, so I trusted that recommendation and moved forward with implants alone.
Communication throughout the process was frustrating. My patient coordinator, Dasaree, was very difficult to reach. I was also pressured to pay by a certain date to receive a "special promotion," only to later see the same promotion still being offered.
A week before surgery, I was told my procedure had been moved to Bakersfield, meaning I had to make last-minute travel arrangements and ride an hour and a half home after surgery. The day of surgery was also disorganized. I was told to arrive at 10:00 a.m., but my surgery didn't begin until almost 1:00 p.m. after multiple delays. They gave me a credit of $500 for me inconvenience.
As my healing progressed, I became concerned with my results. On March 20, 2024, I contacted Beautologie and spoke with Nurse Maribel because I wanted to discuss my concerns. I also continued calling over the following months, but I never felt like my concerns were truly addressed.
On October 24, 2024, I had to undergo a revision to remove dog ears on both sides of my lower abdomen. While I understand revisions sometimes happen, I feel too much tissue was removed, leaving my hips uneven and out of proportion. I paid another $500.
Now that I've fully healed, I'm disappointed with my results. My breasts don't have the fullness or shape I was hoping for, especially in the upper portion. I'm also unhappy with my tummy tuck and liposuction. I expected a flatter stomach and smoother contour, but that's not the result I ended up with.
What disappoints me most isn't just the outcome--it's that I never felt heard when I reached out with my concerns. Looking back, I wish I had trusted my instincts, asked more questions, and gotten a second opinion.
Every patient will have a different experience. This is simply mine. I hope it helps someone else make a well-informed decision before choosing Dr. Jon S. Wilensky and Beautologie.
