Here is what I will say about this facility: Can they do good work? Yes. However, even the most experienced and talented injectors can and will make mistakes; and, then you are left to deal with the morals and ethics, or lack there of, of the facility or injector to correct it. In my case, I was left with an uneven and lumpy face and out thousands of dollars that I had invested in having filler placed, over time in my face.
I was offered a partial refund for my services if I signed an NDA, which I will attach to this review. I will note that due to the cost of services, many others who have had a bad experience may have choosen to sign an NDA in exchange for silence and not leaving a review of their experiences.
I did not accept the NDA because the refund was not for the full amount and I felt obligated to share my experience here as to hopefully prevent it from happening to another person.
PLEASE NOTE: it was only after I told them I would leave a negative review and share my experience that I was offered a partial refund.
I went to the Chicago location in July to have filler placed in my nasolabial folds aka smile lines. When I left, i immediately noticed that one side looked worse and lumpy. This is not my first rodeo with filler so I waited a couple weeks and when it didn't go down, I went back in and was told to massage it. I waited a few more weeks and massaged and it still did not go down. I went in and the injector dissolved JUST the side that was lumpy. I did not know it at the time, but that was a mistake. If you dissolve one side - you need to think about the other side.
Went back in an attempt to even it out and gave time for the hyaluronidase (filler dissolver) to work. They injected it in places around my nasolabial folds as well my nasolabial folds and it dissolved other filler that I had previously had placed (and spent $$$ on). My face was still uneven.
I went back again and Tatiana convinced me that my face was not uneven (it was, but she has a way of denying reality to the point that you agree) and suggested PDO threads in my smile lines.
I should have said no and learned my lesson from my prior experiences - but nope, I went along with it, like an idiot. The PDO threads made my face more lumpy and made my smile lines worse.
I called and made a follow up appointment to discuss my concerns and find out how to correct this. I had spent so much money and always thought I should continue to work with the same injector to correct any issues. All the while, I was walking around feeling embarrassed of my face as it was obvious that it was uneven and to me, I knew it looked worse than my initial concerns.
The day of my appointment I was told that Tatianna was leaving the office early and asked if I could reschedule. Later that day, I saw on instagram that Tatianna had left the office early to go on a dinner date when she knew who I was and why I was coming in. I wanted my face "fixed" after walking around feeling disfigured for months (uneven filler + PDO threads).
When I later talked to Tatianna on the phone about this she said that she told the receptionist to reschedule with me due to it being too soon for me to come in as my results were still settling. However, that is not what the receptionist said when they called me (leaving office early) and her instagram photos I will post shows she clearly left early to go to dinner leaving me to continue to walk around with a botched face.
I called and told New Image Works my concerns about my face and Tatianna cancelling my appointment to go to dinner. I told them I wanted my money back for the PDO threads and the filler that was put in that I had to have dissolved.
I was told because I signed a form saying they do not give refunds, they would not give me a refund. While I understand I signed a form, given the above, I think it is pretty obvious what the right thing to do would have been.
Tatianna did call me personally. She offered to have me come back in so she could look at it but would not admit, ever, that there was anything wrong with the way my face looked or that it was uneven.
After coming in several times and my face getting worse and worse each time, I just wanted my money back. They offered a partial refund for a signed NDA which was not only insulting but I morally could not bring myself to sign it and not speak about their lack of ethics.
Even though it has been corrected the best it could be at another facility could - it is still uneven and lumpy and not the same as it was originally. I can feel the PDO threads in my face still months later. It is devastating. As I told Tatianna, while I am not a celebrity, this is my face!
I know the angles in the before photo isn't exact same pose and the lighting is different but there is clearly a difference and make no mistake, my face is jacked up. Looking at all the photos again makes me want to cry. I wish I never touched my face or went to this facil read more
