Lipostructure Fat Grafting / TriBeCa Plastic Surgery review: buyer beware! 541

Heather, These patients with "great experiences"...have not thanked anyone here...for having endured the experiments Coleman did on everyone... to gain the experience to make them look so fine. Ingrates I say, self-centered ingrates.

Let it go, forget them. Personally? if I were to have read such horrific testimonials on Coleman...even if I felt pleased with my own results? I would step back and stay out of it. I would never meddle in this mess. There is something amiss here. The devotion is a little twisted...considering there are pictures posted...of Coleman mutilations.

Not to worry, the average reader gets it...and "The Coleman Devotees" do not get it...that everyone gets it, nor does Coleman. It's like a sadistic little tea cup doggie, going after a German Shepard under sedation and too stupid to know...he is now out matched...because the Shepard has come out of being anesthetized and gained the strength to stand up and defend itself.

Heather, you are brilliant...in mind and heart! :)

There are so many clients that fly from different cities and countries!..IF it wasnt for Dr coleman i would never be able to look in the mirror, after a doctor in michigan performed surgery on me, I searched and searched for a doctor, but Dr coleman came highly recommended, he changed my life!. he is the best in my eyes and many others.. My last comment is I am sorry that you are upset, I have never had a Bad result, i have had 4 procedures with him, HE IS THE BEST DOCTOR ..my last comment is, Sit with him, talk with him, I am sorry you are upset..take care

I was mutilated and deformed by Richard Ellenbogen of Beverly Hills Body. I believe that many plastic surgeons are greedy, unethical, skilless sociopaths who enjoy ruining people's bodies' faces and lives.
It's just a disgrace that America has such low standards for doctors.

Heather, Thank you for always clarifying so effectively...while educating people of the truth.

"The Truth Is Prevailing!"

Just knowing that someone cares and understands...makes me cry all over again. Thank you.

I have been a patient with Dr coleman for 7 years now, if anyone wants to see my before and after pics please contact me, He is incredible! wonderful!..and again DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS PERSON TELLING YOU THIS!..In any industry u will always get a unhappy person, no matter what! Doctors in michigan all think he is the best! when i was there last year, he had a doctor fly in from france to learn, now let me ask you this question, IF doctor coleman was such a bad doctor why would all these doctors have so much respect for him? He is a great doctor, i am so happy, i am 38 and people think i am 28..again NO one will ever touch my face but this doctor, I look very natural, no one can even guess i did anything at all! my gfs tell me i look better now than when i was in my 20's..whoever is considering having anything done with Dr coleman, i would say GO for it, he is really the greatest doctor ever, Thank you:)

Forget it Sandy Hanna. People are wise enough, to see your blatant disregard for those maimed by Coleman. If you believe for one moment... the general populous "WOULD TRUST YOU?" Think again!

To be so callous in your feelings, after seeing the graphic mutilations of Coleman victims? I am more apt to believe that you "ARE" Coleman.

By the way, name "ALL" those supposed doctors in Michigan? And at the same time, you might want to ask of yourself..."How Do All Of Those Corrupt Politicians Get Voted In?" HHMMM? Food for thought! "ANYONE" who might even for a nano-second...find you believable... are sharp enough to hear our cries of despair. They are "OBVIOUS WARNING CALLS!"

Well i had the best results, and anyone that wants to see them can email me, i am so happy i found this doctor, he will work with you, and NO i am not coleman, i could show you pics of me before and after... trust me anyone that is thinking of anything let me no!... He fixed a doctors "no i will not mention other doctors name" i am not that way!..what is done is done!... but coleman fixed what happened to me, and MOre, i look better now than before any problems!... again whoever is thinking of surgery with coleman or is reluctant please Contact me thank you.

Sandy, count me in as well. Would you please forward to me...your before and after pictures. I would love to see them. Also a copy of "ID and Medical Record." Heather is right, we should be open to seeing them.

I have contacted the office and am awaiting pics emailed to me, as soon as i get them i will email them to you..again Anyone else who is considering Surgery with Dr sydney r coleman, contact me i would love to show you the results:)Make u realize that he is literally the greatest doctor ever! thank y ou

Sandy,

Just know that you do not have to prove anything to these to patients. You are happy and you are aloud to be. Please do not feel like you should have to send them your medical records to prove you are not Dr. Coleman. It is shame that in an open forum such as this, anyone who has someting to say that is not hateful about Dr. Coleman are all treated so unfairly. Most posters have posted with an alias to protect themselves from something. You should not allow anyone to make you feel like you need records with you name on them and photos of yourself to justify your results. Thank you for putting up with the ridicule and for posting.

JEFF...I WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOUR PHOTOS. PLEASE DO NOT SEND A STILL FACE PHOTO. LET ME SEE YOU SMILING...LET ME SEE THAT WHEN SMILING YOUR FACE IS SMOOTH AND THE FAT ISN'T ALL OVER THE PLACE. DEFORMED, OVERFILLED, LUMPY, ETC. LETS SEE THE PHOTO OF YOUR BEAUTIFUL FACE THAT COLEMAN CREATED. I AM CURIOUS AS TO WHAT YOU THINK BEAUTIFUL LOOKS LIKE.

I think u are right, I am happy with my results and i am sorry that this person is "not" happy., Only reason i agreed to show my pics is to show this person how happy i am but your right, its really not there bussiness .
Games? what games ? GROW UP! Instead of sitting here putting a person down that Many believe and is proven to be the best, Leave him be, There are many people that need his help. That have been in horrible accidents, that were born with a birth defects that ONLY HE COULD fix! so leave this board, go get psychiatric help, do something other than wasting your time on this board, creating names that really dont exist!.thank you
Again! anyone that reads this board and is considering any surgery with dr sydney r coleman..Dont worry He is again, The best doctor i have ever met..he changed my life for the better and i am sure he will change yours also:)..thank you again. Also anyone else that

sandy, you put yourself in a dangerous situation when you refer a person to a doctor, any doctor. what if someone listens to you, rather than those he harmed? what if the person that listens to you winds up disfigured? how would you live with that? oh i suppose you would do the same as coleman does...this board is intended to warm people of his bad work, and had i read it before my surgery, i would never have had him operate on me. why not start your own site, and leave this on be.

No matter what any other "pleased" and worshipful patients (!?) like Sandy say, the doubt has been planted. That's the thing-- it's just a shadow of a doubt that can do enough to deter people from placing themselves in this doctor's hands.

Say whatever you want Sandy.

It's won't matter.

A lot of people are going to think twice. And if you have to think twice about a doc, you're not going to him.

un happy patient,
I would never tell anyone to go to a doctor i thought would do harm, as I experienced this with a doctor in michigan like i have said..Dr coleman is a Good doctor and i contiue to refer many people to him..I can continue to comment on here as i wish, because I disagree with u 100%..and many other people do! doctors, media you name it. I have had 4 emails allready from patients who are thinking about going to dr coleman and have assured them how horribly wrong you are..Again, ANYONE READING THIS CRAZY SITE, DO NOT BELIEVE THIS PERSON..DR COLEMAN IS ONE OF THE BEST DOCTERS NOT ONLY IN NEW YORK BUT THE WORLD!...DR'S FROM DIFFERENT COUNTRIES AND STATES FLY IN TO LEARN, WHAT DOES THIS TELL YOU? HE IS GREAT!..THANK Y OU

ALSO ALONG WTH MYSELF I WILL HAVE MANY MANY OTHER FORMER HAPPY PATIENTS OF DR COLEMAN ON HERE, I WILL NOT LET YOU TAKE AWAY FROM A GOOD DOCTOR, MANY OTHER PEOPLE NEED HIS HELP, ITS TO BAD HE HAD TO ENCOUNTER SOMEONE LIKE YOU!

Patient? How do you know for a fact? that most people have posted as an alias, unless of course you have personal access to Coleman's patient records. I am posted by my legal name at the time of mutilation in Coleman's dungeon. At the time of my surgery with him just four years ago, his office and surgical suite...was in a dumpy little lower floor of a building...the size of my living room. I made excuses for this "hell hole"...of a so called office. My first "RED FLAG!"

Unfortunately I was so swayed by publications, which I have since learned are often paid for by doctors...for self promotion. And magazines articles, written by money hungry journalists. My trust in the media, other than Internet Media, is pretty non-existant at this point. I would have been so grateful, if awesome postings such as these, were as popular as they are now. The public is "FED UP!"

Sandy Hanna. The comment..."Let The Games Begin" is not about silly and childish behavior. Heather is very serious about the "GAMES" Coleman has played with so many lives, leaving them destroyed or nearly so. She is referring to the fact, that the tides are turning...as Coleman victims are paving the way straight to jail for him...not the "Red Carpet" he has been accustomed to walking after promoting himself so effectively. It's not the patients promoting him, is sales pitches baby. Slimy sales pitches.

Sandy, we were well aware the pictures would never arrive. The intent was never there on your part. This was never about our wanting proof for ourselves, but about exposing that you do not exist as a satisfied patient. Thank you for revealing this for all. And Sandy, you do not sound like a happy camper to me...more like a Viper. Happy people do not speak to others with such venom, especially those who have suffered extreme trauma by intentional mutilation.

Heather, you are right...even if I thought perhaps...these were all lies..."Just In Case"...I would "NEVER-EVER-RISK-MYSELF-WITH-COLEMAN!" First step of justice served. Now onto the next step. Further exposing the horrible truths of Coleman. We have only just begun. Thanks all for helping with my pictures. Will be posting as soon as I select the most impact ones. They seem to be the ones in the sunlight, showing shadows so you can see all of the details. They will be here and also on the site warning about Coleman and his mutilating fat grafts.

Dear corey

Yes the sunlight is the worst, and i avoid it like the plague. coleman takes his after pictures without shadows... unlike his before photos. I have so many grooves and lines in my face, you could play connect the dots. I too was taken by all the media, and was referred to him by a physician. What a joke. I have been to several doctors and they have all told me that i was one of the lucky ones, that they had seen much worse. The more people i speak to about coleman, the more horror stories i hear. Someone i met told me their mother had seen him, and she has never looked normal again. I too wish site was around before my surgery. And to the idiot that deems him as god because he teaches his technique... welcome to the real world, doctors "teach" their technique every day.. that means nothing. Actually, one doctor i saw for a revision was taught by him, and was horrified by my result.

I saw a clip from a local newscast on lipostructure. The male doc -- who was operating at a MALL --- joked with the male news host: Oh no don't worry, it's nothing like a root canal."

You can say that again.

People like Sandy who are recommending Coleman must have some serious mental deficiencies.

Let me leave this: One Coleman patient has said, when she protested that she was not happy with COleman's work, "Well what can I tell you? I'm Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde."

So maybe Sandy whoever you are, you saw Dr. Jekyl. But there are many others who saw Mr. Hyde.

Yes, four years ago, people would remark, OMG! You looki so young when I would tell my age. Now? I have been asked..."ARE YOU RETIRED?" OH! This one was the latest..."WAS THAT WHILE YOU WERE IN THE NURSING HOME?" And..."SIXTY?" Coleman's Logo...for me has been the complete opposite of what he promotes. Old to youthful? NOT! More like...youthful to old!

I had surgery with Dr. coleman 7 months ago, I can not believe how great I look..I am 43 years old and people think i am in my early 30's. I live in west virginia and heard of coleman from a Girlfriend who also had surgery with coleman back in 2003 she looks wonderful herself, I did my cheeks and lips, but my girlfriend did her whole face and she looks like she is in her 20's..he is a very talented docter, cant believe u had a problem, have u tried talking to him ? maybe u can have it corrected?.

So, were are all the pictures you were going to posted. Looks like you lied.

I am a happy client of Dr Coleman and I also love his staff. I came all the way from Boston, and I plan on returning. My results are great! You should really keep your crazy thought s to yourself.

Elaine, I live in RI, not too far away. Would love to meet you in a public place... to show you my face. Before and after pictures as well. Let's meet half-way. Takes me 45 minutes to get into the city between heavy traffic times. That would be 22 and 1/2 minutes for each of us. Bring your before and after pictures and medical records. I will do same.

You have such a great interest in attacking those of us here, but trust me... after what we have gone through... your insults have little impact for wounding... which of course is your intent. I will bring my video camera to record our meeting. This post allows for videos. Let's get the ball rolling and start a documentary... from all perspectives.

Meanwhile, try reading the book by Phyllis Chesler called, "Woman's Inhumnaity To Woman. And ask some basic questions of yourself? Your "TRUE" motivation behind all of this could be your first one?

Ok, let me read the book first.

Calling me a "denigrating fool" allows me to believe that you are not well. Therefore, I will not let you see me wonderful pictures and I will no longer be involved with such nonsense. By the way, we are not the hostile clients.

Elaine, We are but a reflection of you. Our trauma's may have different causes, but you are obviously suffering some trauma of your own. Of course we have some hostility! We have been mutilated. If that were you, or your child...what would you do and how would you react?

The only nonsense here, is your inability to feel for those who have been hurt, physically, emotionally and finacially...by a ruthless and greedy psychopath. Your inability to feel for us, shows that you have been harmed in life and shut down your innocent heart. We all need some help and at the same time...we also need to stop the perpetrators...such as Sydney Coleman.

One question, why did you involve yourself in the first place? Why do you find it so unbelievable that he has done these things ot us? It's like Ted Bundy the "Serial Killer" all over again...except we are dealing with a "Serial Mutilator!" And they all said about Ted..."What a nice neighbor he was...who would have known?"

Good! Go for it.

You are right ... there is a certain percentage of plastic surgeons who are sociopaths/ psychopaths and they hide behind their credentials and mostly get away with it. I am a victim of another well known plastic surgeon who operated on more than a dozen of the wrong parts of my body, not only disfiguring me, but causing crippling injuries to my knees. I can't even name him because he has gotten a court order preventing me from doing so. It turns out he's friends with the judge, and this corrupt judge then ruled against me. My life has been destroyed and no one will do anything about it. What these doctors do is a form of rape. Rape is a crime of power, and who has more power than a doctor who has your life in his hands when you are unconscious on the operating table? It is about time that this horror is exposed and these doctors are treated like the common criminals they are.

I tried to appeal, but the lawyers wanted $20-40K upfront, and by that time I had lost my business because I had been so depressed, and I had no money left. That brings up another aspect of this rape and mutilation - these butchers choose their victims carefully. My butcher knew I was a single mother and had little money - in fact it took me 3 years after the inital consultation before I could save up enough for the surgery. They never pick wealthy, well connected patients to do this to, because they know they can fight back. So now I am reduced to essentially begging online for donations for my 11th surgery, and I have to deal with men who will only only offer to help me if I will sleep with them. I can only work part time because I can't sleep because of the pain in my knees, knees which were perfect and were not even supposed to be operated on. And I have artifical implants in my calves to fill in the holes this monster left when he operated on my formerly perfect calves for no reason and without my consent. This guy also carved large X's into my hips, something no doctor, even his expert witness could explain, and I had sutures in my pubic area, again for no reason and without consent. And the judge, the doctor's buddy, saw all of this, yet he said in his ruling that "I don't even think he [the doctor] did anything wrong". Instead, he chastised me because sometimes on the witness stand I referred to the doctor by his last name, instead of calling hime "Dr. ____". This judge thinks that my not giving the utmost respect to this man who has mutilated me is worse than the mutilation itself! He ordered me to pay the doctor's attorney's fees, so I eventually had to go through bankruptcy, and he ordered me to remove all posts I had on the internet about the doctor, violating my first amendment rights. The judge actually threatened me with 5 days in county jail if I didn't, so after spending my last $6K trying to fight this, I eventually had to do so. America, land of freedom ...

PS. About getting media exposure - I contacted 60 Minutes, 20/20, Primetime, Oprah, Dr. Phil, etc. etc. and no one even responded. Why? Because the pharmeceutical industry advertises heavily in the media and they also own stock in media companies. They do not want stories of board certified, well respected doctors who mutilated their patients to get out, because they want the public to have total faith in their doctors so everyone will take the drugs they prescribe without question. I bet they are behind the proliferation of doctor dramas on TV, where they reinforce the myth of the doctor as hero. The only horror stories you see are of doctors without licenses, or doctors from 3rd world countries who butcher American patients. And the warning at the end is to be sure you go to a board certied American doctor, and then you will be fine. Well that is what I did, and I was not fine. But the Medical-Industrial Complex doesn't care.

Ms. Morgan-

You have been an incredibly large waste of time in the past two weeks for not only me, but for two of my friends at ABC as well. They spent about an hour of their busy work schedule searching through the ABC
database. There is neither record of your “meeting” with a reporter nor are there any negative video records of your alleged meeting in ABC’s extensive digital archives. The only pieces that they found on
Dr. Coleman are several positive clips on the procedure Dr. Coleman has been doing for the past 20 years or so. The most recent being a piece that was on fat injection to the breast, which is the procedure
my sister had done last year by Dr. Coleman. My friends agreed that if an ABC reporter did meet with some disgruntled patients, they most likely discarded the material once they realized that they were/are mentally unstable and their claims could not be substantiated. They apparently get people like you all the time.

Because you gave misleading information concerning the New York State Board of health (which I called you on in my first posting) and the misleading information of your supposed “ABC interview”, I decided to do some more fact checking.

You say that when you Google Dr. Coleman’s name and going to court/being sued, one can find a lot of cases against him.

I did numerous searches on “Dr. Sydney Coleman, court, nyc” (and many other variations) and yes, a lot of results popped up . One main reason for the large number of results is there is another NYC plastic
surgeon has the name “Court”. Court Cutting apparently works with Dr. Coleman at New York University and speaks at some of the same plastic surgery meetings, so there are naturally going to be a lot of results when you Google his name and court. I also found out that when there has been an actual court of law involved, it is usually because a patient has sued another plastic surgeon/dermatologist and has had to eventually to go to Dr. Coleman to get the botched work corrected.

It’s amusing, in one of your posts you say:

“Everything I've said in all my posts are public information that can be verified, aside from my personal story of course.”

And then you go on to say:

“However, even the privileged conversations between myself, other patients, other plastic surgeons that I've described can all be verified to a T if that time came because I have evidence to back it all up.”

Ms. Morgan, given your previous history of providing misinformation, I beg to differ. The simple fact of the matter is you cannot provide the evidence because there is no evidence. I took your advice and reread
everything that was written on this board and could not find any supporting evidence to your cause. I even called the NYC/State courts and could not find anything negative on Dr. Coleman. I did find out that there were a couple of cases that were settled out of court by his insurance company, but that does not mean he was at fault.

I cannot believe what you are doing. You should be ashamed of yourself. You should see a therapist and most of all you need to learn how to control your anger. Again, I recommend taking classes in Buddhism and learning how to relax/clear your mind via meditation. You seem like an intelligent person. There is a Buddhist statement that you may want to ponder: “Anger is resentment turned inward.” Is there something about Dr. Coleman or something that he represents that you resent? I don’t think you received bad plastic surgery; I think you resent the fact that Dr. Coleman is a talented plastic surgeon and you had to pay a lot of money for a surgery that could not solve your internal anger issues. He’s a doctor of plastic surgery, not a doctor of
psychotherapy. Learn how to control your anger or your anger is eventually going to destroy you.

"My What Wonderous Webs We Weave, When We Practice To Decieve!"

UH? Jeff T. I think it was CBS, not ABC. You mention ABC at least four times, so that indictates to me that this is not a typo-graphical error on your part, but really...that you forgot to get your story straight. You seem to have mixed up...just who your supposed friends work for. If they work for ABC, you are researching the wrong station. It was CBS...and I do recall...your initially stating that CBS is where your friends worked at? Now they are at ABC? HHMMM?

Coleman? Coleman? Coleman? The stress is showing.

Can you people leave well enough alone. What a sin! You all keep attacking one another for something someone else did. In my opinion, you need a psychiatrist not a plastic surgeon. I can't believe the things I am reading.

What happened to that patient?

U GUYS ARE A BUNCH OF WIERDOS, REALLY NEED MENTAL HELP

Still waiting for the pictures!

You said the game was on and you would bring out some pictures. But, we haven't seen them. LOL

Ellenbogen Victim #2

Heather, I believe what you say about your experience with Dr Coleman. Please believe me when I say that Dr Ellenbogen has at least as many butchered victims as Dr Coleman.

Coleman patient. Be patient. I have just begun to live my life again and admitedly have been catching up on much. Not about having fun, but restructuring...to have a life beyond existing. Starting from scratch. You are right, in that I need to get them up...but you are wrong on the LOL part. There is nothing humorous in any of this. Your need to feel important, is not as important as our need for support in all of this. My face is healing enough, so can feel confident enough to post without being more traumatized.

Post yours as well. Then again?...I guess it does not really matter. Because your hard heartedness does not matter, which is what this is about for you. Sick pleasure with Coleman. But I will post for those who care.

Have a great day all. And love to those who continue here...to expose the horrible truth.
