Business ProfileforSassan Alavi MD

I had a breast lift with implants and a tummy tuck in December 2021 with Dr. ********************* I did my homework and checked for qualifications, certifications and reviews. Dr. ******************** was very professional. He was enthusiastic about assisting me to achieve a look tailored to my age. Improvement not perfection. He said hed done 4-6000 breast lifts, liposuction and tummy tucks. We agreed on surgical procedures and cost. He verbalized that there would be a doctor assisting him, since it was a 5 hour procedure. He mentioned the physicians name and some of his accolades, so I trusted he was experienced. I should have asked for his credentials, but I trusted Dr. ********************I and didnt think more about it. Three months later and the day of surgery, the assisting doctor comes in and starts doing markings on my b****** Dr. ******************** came right behind him, and did separate markings on top of his. BIG RED FLAG! Its thirty minutes before the surgery, Im nervous, apprehensive, rushed and made unbalanced decision to proceed. If I could only turn back the clock, I would have canceled the surgery. Im a surgical nurse and had a gut feeling he was inexperienced. There was three months between consultation and surgery, so Dr. ******************** had ample time to provide transparency and full disclosure. During the *******, he added on additional areas of my thighs for liposuction. Areas that he ruled out during the consultation, due to lack of body fat. Its an intense window of vulnerability and he uses it as an opportunity to add on additional fees. Im 6 months post surgery and Im wearing a push up bra. My breast are saggy, the right implant is higher than the left and body areas did not get liposuction as agreed. My results are not reflective of a proficient surgeon with operative volume. The doctor was supposed to assist not perform the surgery. Now that Dr. ******************** received his $21,000 hes dismissive. He takes no accountability. I dont want anyone else victimized by his unethical practices.

Update 10/27/23. It's 2023, two years after getting my tummy tuck, breast lift and breast implants and absolutely nothing has changed. The right breast implant still hasn't dropped and my ******* are still crookedI also still have the pockets of back fat that were not removed, per the contractual agreement for the liposuctionI have horrible scarring alongside the incision lines, likely from the assisting surgeon's lack of proficiency with a scalpel and novice suturing skillsThis was the conclusion of a second consultation with a more experienced and reputable cosmetic surgeon I've accepted all that has happened to me during this journey and realized that there is nothing can do to change the outcome of that dreaded day I put my trust in the hands of Dr. ********************* take full accountability for not following my gut instincts that morningWhen the assisting surgeon came in and started marking my *******, that was a big red flag. With my nine years of experience as a surgical nurse, it indicated that he was going to be the lead surgeon, with Dr******************** overseeing his performance. I should have told him that I changed my mind and walked right out of the office. would have likely lost all of my money, but I would have gotten over ****'s the most valuable and costly ****** that I've learned.You can't assign a numerical value to peace of mind.My pursuit of trying to make things right have been long forgotten. This is why calls and voicemails from your office went unanswered. There is nothing you or your practice can do for me. I've allowed my voice to be heard by posting honest reviews on ************ and the Better Business Bureau Dr******************** has no integrity, moral uprightness or trustworthiness. I will NEVER allow him the opportunity to touch me again.In conclusion, I'll let the good Lord fight this act of injustice for me. He says the battle is his and I stand on his every word. May he have mercy on your soul Dr. ******************** and comfort all of the people who had the misfortune of crossing paths with youI pray he also has mercy on the staff, who turn a blind eye to the unethical conduct that happens in this surgical institution.
