I have severe depression due to the horrific inner/outer/banaroll thigh lipo results I experienced at SonoBello Sac at the hands of Afshin Eslami MD in the summer 2023. I can no longer wear anything above the knee let alone a swimsuit which was my goal in first thinking about getting this work done. It has taken me 2 years find the strength to post my review after hell for the past 2 years trying to find a single board certified plastic surgeon willing to fix his horrifically botched work. I have not been successful after dozens of plastic surgeon consults so I guess I need to expect I will remain disfigured for life. I see he is still working here from the SB website and I feel the need to warn any patients considering going here. My initial consult was with Naoimi Watts (a sales consultant). Their model is to have you meet with this person who upsells you on everything and this frees to surgeons to perform more and more surgeries to make SB as much money as possible in a day. I specifically requested to have Dr. Eslami eval me at this consult since I was not comfortable with the idea of scheduling a surgery after only meeting with a sales person. I was mostly focused on my abdomen but he convinced me the areas I really needed done were my inner/outer thighs and bananarolls. I was sold quickly on inner thigh since they have rubbed/chafed all my life but expressed I didn't think I needed outer thigh and banana roll since I had no saddlebags to justify treating the outer thigh and that I was worried about a saggy butt from treating the banarolls which I had heard about being a possibly issue. But he said I needed all 3 areas in the thighs and that I had good skin quality and he would treat very conservatively since I am not a large person and that I would be very happy with my results and I trusted him since he seemed so earnest. Paid their exorbitant fees and fast forward to after my surgery. I am deformed now. Have HUGE shark bite indents on both outer thighs from his careless/unartful overaggressive lipo with poor positioning intra-op I suspect. I had expressed concern about his pre-op markings and he ignored everything I said and told me I worried too much and dismissed me. Now, my left outer thigh is so bad it literally looks like I had a botched BBL though I have never had this done. You can visibly see this dent even when I wear baggy pants-thats how bad it is. I can no longer pose in photos showing that side of my body. My inner thighs were also oversuctioned and terribly uneven with extensive ripples and dents on both that are so visible that I can no longer wear anything shorter than knee length. I am convinced he was trying to use the largest cannula to get the job done in the least amount of time since they overbook their surgeons to make more money per day. I requested my op notes and the amount of time he spent on my case for the number of areas treated is laughable. You can easily see the top innermost thighs both sides still look uneven untouched and are still touching/rubbing majorly and I have worse chafing now than I did before. I still have to walk/waddle with my feet three feet apart to prevent them from rubbing. At the time of the inner thigh lipo, I was also left with multiple painful burns (black scabs) on my left inner thigh likely from improper laser lipo use. That skin is now permanently darkened. I cannot find a plastic surgeon willing to do a full thigh lift to remove all the deformed areas/dark skin or even revise the thighs with more lipo since they believe there will be too much scar tissue and the affected area is too large to resect. When I had brought up my concerns at my post ops with his nurses (he wasnt even there other than to address anything for the first few months the burn itself) I was given the "swelling" hogwash and assured my results would even out in months time. Guess what. They never did and I am permanently botched with no answer in sight. AVOID THIS HELLHOLE AT ALL COSTS. It is a glorified butchershop. Dr Eslami permanently disfigured me and ruined my life.

This is an updated review. I think I have a couple of other ones posted. I am currently a little bit past four months postop getting a revision to my original liposuction that I received October 2021 by Dr Travassoli. Since then I had to do a revision and I also had the AB Ex procedure done. I had a different surgeon this time around Dr Melniczek. He is so awesome. His energy is great. He has a great attitude. He listen to everything that I had issues with my results from the last surgeon who performed my original surgery. I am so happy with my results. I am 95% happy with my results the other 5% Comes from me and my continued journey working out. And I still have a little bit of swelling that's going to go down so I won't see 100% results for quite some time. But even if I don't, I am so happy with what he did with my body. Let me tell you I am SNATCHED!!!! I just turned 50 this year and my body is looking so good. I am thinking about getting my back done maybe next year and I will definitely want him to do that. Even if he doesn't work for Sono Bello anymore, I will find wherever he is so he could do my surgery. Lol.

I was given a price that I felt was out of the ballpark shocking as if I wasn't worthy of a budget friendly price. It is what it is.

What is cost for stomach liposuction?

My husband had his procedure done back in February with Dr. Pirko, and the results were absolutely incredible. You can truly see the level of skill, precision, and artistry in his work he has an eye for detail and hands that create results you honestly wouldn't believe are possible. His follow-up care with Dr. Stacey was just as impressive she took the time to answer every single question we had and made us feel completely comfortable throughout the process. The care doesn't stop there the anesthesiology team is outstanding. A special thank you to Sandy, who went above and beyond to answer my questions and calm my nerves. That level of attention and compassion makes such a difference. After seeing my husband's results, I booked my own surgery with Dr. Pirko. Even though I'm still in the healing process and a bit swollen, I am already in love with my results. Dr. Pirko's attention to detail and pursuit of perfection is truly unmatched. I also want to give a huge shoutout to the amazing staff Sol, Blanca, Maria, and his medical assistant. Every single visit, they made me feel welcomed, heard, and cared for. Their kindness and professionalism really set this practice apart. If you're looking for exceptional results and a team that truly cares, don't think twice book your appointment. You will be in the best hands. No tengo suficientes palabras para expresar lo increíble que ha sido mi experiencia con el Dr. Pirko y todo el equipo de Ideal Plastic Surgery en Sacramento. Mi esposo se realizó su cirugía en febrero con el Dr. Pirko y los resultados fueron simplemente impresionantes. Realmente se puede ver su talento, precisión y dedicación en su trabajo tiene un ojo artístico y unas manos que logran resultados que parecen imposibles. Su seguimiento fue con la Dra. Stacey, quien respondió todas nuestras preguntas con paciencia y nos hizo sentir completamente tranquilos durante todo el proceso. El equipo de anestesiología también es excepcional. Un agradecimiento especial a Sandy, quien se tomó el tiempo para responder todas mis dudas y calmar mis nervios. Ese nivel de atención y cuidado hace toda la diferencia. Después de ver los resultados de mi esposo, decidí programar mi propia cirugía con el Dr. Pirko. Lo único que puedo decir es que estoy fascinada con mis resultados. Incluso estando aún inchadita, se puede notar la perfección y el increíble trabajo del Dr. Pirko. También quiero reconocer al maravilloso equipo: Sol, Blanca, María y su asistente médico. Todas son increíbles siempre te reciben con una sonrisa, te hacen sentir escuchada y realmente cuidada. Si estás buscando resultados excepcionales y un equipo que de verdad se preocupa por ti, no lo pienses dos veces agenda tu cita. Estarás en las mejores manos

I went to dr Kaniff for a nose revision. I had a rhinoplasty when I was very young and the doctor…read morehad botched the side of the tip of my nose. Dr Kaniff assured me he could fix it. And he did fix the very specific area that was botched. But it was at the expense of the entire front of my nose. It came out extremely crooked. Like the shape of a J. My nose was very straight before. It had great contouring before and now it looks like a poorly drawn cartoon character. I came back multiple times to express my unhappiness and he gaslighted me and told me I was wrong and that it was straight and finally that there was nothing he could do. Everyone in my life has told me it's extremely crooked. So I went to get a second opinion from another surgeon who agreed and completely validated all of my concerns.

I got a nose job here in may 2021 by Dr. Kaniff. I must say that my concerns were ignored. When I…read morehad the initial consultation, I let the doctor know that I did not mind the bump on my nose. My concern was the bulbus tip (of my nose) and said that ideally that would be the main concern. I was told no problem everything would be done exactly as I wished, I will say that unfortunately the after did not turn out at all what I hadasked for. My nose was chiseled down to a slope and the tip which was untouched. The surgery was incredibly transaction,. I was treated as if I was a timeslot, I got a cookie cutter nose job. When i return for the follow up days after the surgery, the outer bandage had come off in two corners, but the underneath bandage was intact fully, the doctor was unbelievably rude to me because of this I'm not sure if he was having a bad day. They asked you to fill out a review of the situation but they watch you fill it out literally while they're standing 2 feet from you watching you fill out every letter. I know it was before the bandage came off that I gave the assessment. Still unseen, the nose and high on pain medication 3 days of pain medication as this is done on purpose is that I would not recommend this doctor or clinic.
