I had a lower face and neck lift by Dr, Marcus. The facelift was a disaster. He tried to fix it (skin sagging by chin), but the fix didn't work. His next suggestion was to laser the area. It's been 6 months and I still have red scars on both sides of my face. I may have to have it re-lasered to get rid of the scars and I will need another plastic surgeon to correct the "jowls" that I didn't have pre-surgery. It has been a nightmare. read more

I am regretfully writing this review as a warning to others in hopes that no one goes through what I am currently experiencing. I booked a tear trough filler appointment with Dr. Scott R. Chaiet as it had been several years since a previous treatment with another surgeon. Dr. Chaiet has fabulous bedside manners. He is very polite and charismatic, but his facial aesthetic skills are on the opposite spectrum. I was told that after my tear trough filler I may need some mid-face filler, which seemed justifiable, but I would have to wait several months due to the pandemic and scheduling and the mess that was 2020. Days and weeks after my tear trough appointment, as my swelling subsided, I couldn't help but notice how shelf-like my under eye filler was. It was bad, to say the least. It was so prominent that it looked like I had saddle bags instead of smooth, refreshed under eyes. I (wrongly) assumed that he mentioned the mid face filler to address this so I happily went to my next appointment looking for the necessary fix. After one entire syringe of filler in my tear troughs, I received another full syringe of filler in my mid face. Never have I received so much filler in such a small area and now I see why. Have you ever seen pictures of overfilled celebrities and thought, "whoa, way too much work done!" Yea, I was about two steps away from that. So much so that my own family thought I had a sinus infection. It got to the point where I turned down lights in my home and took down mirrors because I felt so ashamed for choosing the wrong doctor. I literally felt like it was all my fault. I should have done more research, I should have known about each and every filler, I beat myself up for not having all the answers and getting myself into this mess in the first place. The filler was too heavy and too dense for the areas that he put it in. I am no doctor but a quick Google search confirmed my worst fears as he put the wrong filler in an area that needed a soft filler. Not only that but I had soooo much filler that it started migrating. I expressed these concerns several times to Transformations, begging to get an appointment with Dr. Chiat or anyone at Transformations for that matter. I looked horrible. Horrible to the point where I cried every time I got off another phone call where I was told he would not have an opening until November 2021 (I started called in May 2021). For the life of me I cannot fathom telling an upset client that they have to live with their poor treatment that makes them feel hideous. So a few weeks back I gave up and booked consultations with nearly every plastic surgeon and aesthetic nurse in the Madison area, some even that same day as they couldn't believe the response from Transformations. After six consults and every practitioner being utterly shocked at my results, I chose one to start my dissolving journey. I am two appointments in and 4 units of hylenex down, with more to go. The filler is so dense and migrated so much, that we are finding more and more with every appointment. Mind you this dissolving has already cost me $1,300 to dissolve over $1,000 of Dr. Chiats work. The mental and emotional shock of paying so much money to look worse and then to pay more money to reverse the results is devastating. I could never trust or recommend an establishment that 1) gives such poor aesthetic results and 2) denies timely help for a distraught customer. Please proceed with caution if booking through Transformations, they nearly ruined my mental well being and I can't bear to think they could cause the same harm to someone else. read more

I got a rhinoplasty from Dr. Marcus about 9 months ago and everything went really well. I was looking for a cosmetic surgeon who only works on the face and he does just that! He explained everything thoroughly and was really personable. During healing I developed a bony growth which can sometimes happens (no ones fault) he took care of it because he wanted to give me what I wanted. It was nice as well that I didn't have to go back to the OR (unless I wanted) to have it fixed as well. I'd recommend him. Very good at what he does. read more

Dr. Ahmed Afifi is extremely professional, highly skilled and very dedicated to his practice. I had breast cancer, and he is my plastic surgeon for reconstruction surgery. He performed a DIEP flap procedure on me, which is where they take your tummy fat and construct breasts out of it, since I needed both breasts removed (double mastectomy). He went above and beyond to make sure I was fully informed and comfortable with the surgery. I needed two more minor surgeries after due to hematomas developing in one breast (which is common) and he was extremely accommodating, fitting me into his schedule and staying late to perform those surgeries to relive the pain I was having. He is very considerate and caring, and his staff is absolutely amazing, especially his PA, Dr. Clare Chandler. He is extremely skilled and is a perfectionist and dedicated to getting the results his patients desire. He even offered to do one of my surgeries on the weekend during his "time off," I said no but his nurse said he does that all the time for patients; that is how dedicated he is. I drive two hours to see him and he is worth that drive. I would highly recommend Dr. Afifi! read more

I had an elective cosmetic procedure done at Transformations recently and was very pleased with the entire experience. I had booked a consultation with Dr. Siebert in May, the appointment was booked out until July (its because that man is that good. Trust me). It was worth the wait. During my consultation he answered every one of my questions and was patient with me during the entire thing. All of his staff members that I encountered were as well. I was more than pleased with my consultation and ultimately decided to pursue the procedure at this place. I then had a pre-op appointment with Dr. Sieberts PA who treated me with the exact same professional demeanor as Dr. Siebert. My surgery was scheduled for beginning of September and went better than I had anticipated. The entire peri-operative staff is caring and made sure my boyfriend was kept in the loop with all that was going on with my care. I cant say enough about Dr. Siebert, his team, and the transformations center. I am a member of the healthcare industry myself (and those related to surgical services) so I feel that I already had a very critical eye going into this. Not that I ever plan on having another elective surgery performed, but if I ever did, I would want it to be with Dr. Siebert and the staff at Transformations. read more

I went into Transformations for a consultation & the experience was horrible. The facility is gorgeous but the people, especially Dr. Afifi, were unkind, impatient, & had very little knowledge of the procedure I was interested in or any people skills. Do not use this clinic! read more
