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

I THINK THERE IS SOMETHING TO BE SAID ABOUT THE HUMILIATION ASPECT. I RECENTLY HAD HAD ACCESS TO HIS STRUCTURAL FAT GRAFTING BOOK. INCLUDED IN THIS BOOK IS A DVD OF HIM (HYDE) WORKING ON A PATIENT. HE WAS LIPOSUCTIONING HER BELLY, AND THERE WAS NO DRAPING OVER HER PUBIC AREA. NO REGARD OR RESPECT OF OR FOR THIS WOMAN. I WAS SO DISGUISTED I DID NOT FINISH VIEWING IT. I AM NOT ONE THAT USUALLY JUDGES OTHERS MOTIVES OR ACTIONS, YET I HAVE A STRONG SENSE THAT HE HAS A VERY DARK SIDE AND IMPOSES HIS ANGER AND FRUSTRATION ON HIS INNOCENT PATIENTS WITH EVERY STRIKE OF HIS CANNULA. HE MUST HAVE MANY CHILDHOOD ISSUES AND I THINK MAYBE HE TRIES TO HELP THOSE IN NEED OF HIM, AND THOSE THAT WISH THEIR BEAUTY ENHANCED MUST PUSH A BUTTON, THAT MAKES HIM WANT TO DESTROY THEIR FACES AND BODIES. ITS ALMOST LIKE HE IS ANGERED WHEN AN ATTRACTIVE PERSON ASKS HIM TO "WASTE" HIS TIME ON THEIR UNIMPORTANT REQUESTS, SO TO TEACH THEM A LESSON, HE MUTILATES THEM AND EXPERIMENTS SO HE CAN WRITE ANOTHER SELF PRAISING ARTLICLE. COULD ONE BE SO EVIL? SCAREY!

I have taken my pictures down off of New Image, because I was politely asked to remove the headliner..."PRETHENIE MUTILATED BY DR. SYDNEY COLEMAN!" Could not find a "pretty" word for "MUTIILATED!" When a description of the obvious, becomes more offensive than the offense...time to walk away.

Still anticipating the posting of them here, by the administrator who is compassionate, not intimidated by Coleman or his Lawyers and apparently busy...but will keep her word when she can get to it. :)

Plan A. B, C and D are in the works as well...

We "COLEMAN VICTIMS" are finding balance in our approach and patient in knowing of a positive outcome in all of this. To have suffered alone for so long and then finding one another? the outpouring of love and support we have shared together?

Understandable that..."WE FINALLY WERE ABLE TO BEGIN PROCESSING...SO MUCH PENT UP SUFFERING, SOME OF WHICH YOU HAVE BEEN WITNESS TO!"

Not an appology here at all, but some are..."FINE EXAMPLES OF POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER"...resultant of being mutilated by Coleman.

hey,

on the new image board, jsut try saying unhappy coleman patient. It's worth keeping the photos up there, because it's a heavily trafficked site; if your goal is to get "the word out" about coleman, then keeping them up is to you advantage.

How many unhappy coleman patients have their been, do you think?

I understand all doctors have "unforseen" complications. Is Coleman's more than other docs?

I feel that "this" Complaints Board is the most effective board there is. Just the words Dr. Sydney Coleman typed in, bring first his place of business, next..."BOLDLY"...this site.

"CAN"T MISS IT!...CAN'T MISS IT!...CAN'T MISS IT!...CAN'T MISS IT!...CAN'T MISS IT!...CAN'T MISS IT!

Anyone reading this, knows that I have already posted pictures and at some point they will be here as well. The stories shared here... are wrenchingly heartfelt and believable. That in itself satisfies the goal of "Getting The Word Out!"

Just learning of Coleman's affiliation with a Cell company, makes me question? "What Might Possibly Been Harvested From Those He Mutilated...And Did He Profit From This?" We were knocked out for an excessive period of time, way beyond what we expected...and operated on in areas without consent?

I feel at peace with what I am doing now...as far as exposing Coleman. No longer frantic in getting the word out. It is already out and I am now satisfied with the disruption in his plans, which will dramatically alter his future. A gentle reminder for those who continue to "Not Get It"...this is not about "unforseen complications"...rather the intentional experimentation and mutilation of our bodies.

I will not be returning, until my pictures are posted here...perhaps to address a few questions. Other than...for that reason alone...it would not serve a purpose for me. Thank you with much "heartfelt gratitude" to all who have contributed in the exposing of Coleman! Farewell! :)

OH! Must not forget, Coleman's partner Dr. Sebrerio or whatever her name is? She has been with him long enough to know what is going on! I question her as well? Any person who will work under, or by this man "in the same practice"... is lacking in integrity...the kind required for trusting your life with!

yes,
you've been quite effective and generous with sharing your pictures.
If you want. I can post them for you at a file sharing site and link to them from here.

You can say "Mutilated Pateint" there

Well, it's been almost 3 years since my surgery. I am more depressed today than ever. I can not express the hatred I have for the man that has caused my disfigurement. I have more hatred for myself to have trusted him and let him do this to me although most of the surgery he did without my consent.
I find it funny how his entire staff is new. No one is there from when I had my surgery other than Dr. Sabeiro.
Has anything happened to him? He is still making money and doing surgeries for those exhuberant prices he charges? Amazing. I will never see that money or have the body I had.
What good can come from all this pain? I guess nothing. I have no hope anymore.

April, Do not go under. There are life preservers all around you. All you need do is reach out to us. I have attempted to connect with you in the past and you were not ready. Yesterday, I sent my telephone number and still? I have not heard from you? Perhaps it is time. Know that we are here for you..."24/7!" It is a bit different going back and forth over the telephone, more helpful. I encourage all...who have not yet done this, please do so.

Thank you for creating "Buyer Beware!" This has been a most powerful platform to expose the truth. Do not think for one moment...these postings are not shared throughout the medical community...and the community of those seeking a surgeon. The man is fired already! He may have a few stragglers of the unawares...but his career is basically over.

The next step is seeing to it...that he serves time in prison It will not end "ALL" of our suffering, but most certainly will..."STOP COLEMAN FROM CREATING MORE SUFFERING!"

It can get discouraging when you know that our laws are set up, so that a person "IN PAIN"...must fight for the right to use Medical Marijuana...but a person "CAUSING PAIN" can pretty much...not only legally get away with it...but get paid to do this as well?

When this is what you are up against? You can only wonder..."How Did I End Up On This Planet?"

Natasha, Could not have said it better!

April, she is awesome... please connect with her.

Cake and Crackers. Considering your kind offer. Thanks. :)

Corey, Heather, April, and other unhappy patients

I've read your posts with much interest and I've showed them to others. Its really so hard to believe. But our system is stacked against victims so you will probably need to do a lot more if you hope to really get him punished.

Here are some ideas:

- Get all of your medical records and photos if you haven't done so already. These should include photos of marked-up donor sites on your body and marked-up fat graft sites on your face. Normally, after the photo is taken, you sign a consent form stating that you have looked at these markings in the mirror and are in full agreement with the doctor that these are the areas where fat will be grafted. If he did additional work that you did not consent to, proof of this can be derived by comparing your face to these marked photos assuming you have not had additional work following the operation in question.

- I've seen a few of the photos from unhappy patients but must say the before and afters were taken under different conditions. Dr. Coleman points this out on his website. To enhance credibility, the after photos should be taken with similar lighting and poses as the before. I know that on the same day, I can have both very good and bad photos taken of myself just by chaning the angles, lighting, pose, distance, etc. Dr. Coleman's website before and afters appear to be taken under very standard conditions. Also, I doubt the monster phase photos help your case. Coleman's patient literature clearly warns of this and his own website has this sort of photo too.

- The photo with the penis markings could just be a coincidence. Even if not, I doubt a judge will buy that since its standard procedure to mark donor areas. If those happen to be the areas he plans to suction from, what should he do, modify his markings to make sure they can't be interpreted in the wrong way?

- Get on Youtube and tell your stories with lots of photos. There is one lady who has attacked another doctor this way and I'm sure her story has scared away a lot of people.

By the way, I've talked to several doctors about Coleman and his work. The worst thing anyone of them said is that he tends to overfill. But they all seemed to highly respect his work and three of them had even attended his seminars and learned to apply his techniques.

The Complaints board is a good start. But if you really want to get traction, you will probably need to do a lot more.

The photographs “chosen” to be displayed are not fair and accurate depictions of the results of Dr. Coleman’s treatment of these patients. These photographs are not comparable “before and after” presentations of the patients and show the results of surgeries that are unrelated to the fat grafting procedures performed by Dr. Coleman.

As anyone weighs the decision of undergoing plastic surgery, there are certain facts that all patients should consider:

Patients should realize that there is a recovery after any procedure, and that recovery is variable. Although most people look great by two months after fat grafting, the actual result may not be seen for as much as six months or even longer in rare circumstance.

It is not prudent have further procedures after any surgical procedure until most of the swelling has resolved.

Fat grafting, like any surgical procedure on humans, involves the manipulation of living tissues. The results of any procedure by any surgeon (urologist, gynecologist, otolaryngologist, et cetera) are not completely predictable. Secondary procedures may be necessary. We cannot compare surgical procedures or fat grafting to the purchase of an IPOD or Monte Blanc pen because molding living tissue is not as predictable as molding plastic or metal

You should always discuss any questions or concerns you have about your medical treatment, and specifically any surgical procedure you are considering with your physician.

“I met Dr. Coleman in 2003. Before discovering Dr. Coleman, I had several skin peels and dermabrasions for various facial scars all performed by a board certified plastic surgeon. The plastic surgeon encouraged me to continue the procedures thinking the next one would “do the trick”. Overtime this philosophy left my face sullen, pigmented and stripped of the tops layers of skin. I finally went to another plastic surgeon for a second opinion. He looked at my sullen face and suggested Dr. Coleman. This plastic surgeon attended a seminar where Dr. Coleman presented his research on lipostructure. He suggested that I get a consultation from Dr. Coleman as he feared the procedures being performed on my face were leaving me with a new kind of facial deformity.

I had a consultation with Dr. Coleman who explained his LipoStructure technique in great detail. I remember his extensive picture taking of my face and his explanation of harvesting, purifying and then placing fat taken from other parts of my body (in my case my inner thighs) into my face for restructuring and contouring. At every step in the process, he explained in detail the expectations, risks and how the healing processes would evolve over time. He explained that it sometimes took a few procedures to get the fat interspersed correctly through out my face and that it was a very delicate procedure that needed a healing curve to optimize the results. Basically, the procedure needs a patient to be patient.

The procedure itself is not painful. You are under sedation/anesthesia by a licensed anesthesiologist and wake up with bandages on the areas where fat was removed and where it was re-deposited. His office staff is helpful and gives very clear directions as to how to care for the areas post operatively. Once the bandages are removed then the healing process begins. As a pharmacist, I can tell you that the healing curve is very patient specific. Some people bruise easier than others and some require more time for swelling to subside so there is no exact timeline for these healing steps. Most importantly since they are regulated by your own body clock, the steps can not be rushed. Also, if there is one point to reinforce is that you must follow directions given by the staff. For example, after a period of time, ice is not warranted nor is the use of steroids helpful to decrease any swelling. The swelling will go away over time and can not be rushed. I think that this is the hardest part that some find annoying and at times disconcerting. I found it helpful not to keep looking in the mirror - waiting for instant results because the results do not come instantly but rather evolve through a rejuvenating process, restoring what was loss through aging or in my case trauma. Over time the rejuvenating results are apparent. There is swelling, bruises, redness in the eyes and even a little discomfort post the procedure, but as time goes by all disappear and the results of the procedure are natural and rejuvenating.

The transplanted fat feels like normal body structures. If the transplanted fat is near bone or cartilage then it feels like bone or cartilage. The LipoStructure system feels natural to the touch. Using this technique, Dr. Coleman refined and restructured my face but most importantly brought back myself confidence. Would I do it again? Yes. It changed my life and gave me the self confidence I needed to reach my goals.“

First, the New York State Department of Health has NEVER taken any disciplinary action against Dr. Coleman.

Second, Dr. Coleman has NEVER been found liable for malpractice and no judgment in a malpractice lawsuit has ever been entered against him. The links to the New York State and Federal Court websites are another attempt to mislead and misinform.

Third, the complaint of Patient DD is completely unsubstantiated and is not part of a public record.

The photographs “chosen” to be displayed are not fair and accurate depictions of the results of Dr. Coleman’s treatment of these patients.

"My association with Dr. Coleman and his fat transfer process commenced in March 2000 after I had thoroughly researched various ways to enhance my thinning facial profile. As a 41 year-old professional fitness trainer I was concerned that I was becoming too skeletal looking but I did not want to opt for more traditional means such as a face lift or artificial fillers.

At the conclusion of my first engagement, I was initially quite swollen and bruised, nevertheless, within a few months I was pleased with the results and thankful that I was left without visual scars which are inherent in many alternate measures. I have returned to Dr. Coleman on two other occasions so that he could address secondary areas which have surfaced since my initial visit. During each process, I have been treated with the utmost professionalism as his staff is sensitive to both my emotional and physical needs and willing to go the extra mile to ensure that every question is answered and ever need addressed.

In sum, I wholeheartedly endorse Dr. Coleman’s practice as he is a true professional who is dedicated to the intricate details that are presented by each and every patient."

"It is usually difficult to express accolades of any person. When it comes to Dr. Sydney Coleman it becomes an easy task.

Dr. Coleman has operated on me several times and has essentially restructed my face in such a natural manner that I have been able to improve my appearance beyond my expectations. I feel that my face is naturally youthful and the results of my fat implants have returned my youth. I also had fat implants on my neck and hands and without any other plastic surgery, have noticed that I appear 15 years younger.

My husband is an ophthalmologist and also performs blepharoplastic surgery. He was truly amazed at the results that I achieved with a minimal amount of surgery and with the fat implants injected around my eyes. My husband and I cannot recommend any other physician who has the natural ability to do this type of procedure as well as Dr. Coleman.

I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Sydney Coleman at any time for any procedure that he performs. Dr. Coleman is truly a gifted surgeon."

-- Florence S., New Jersey

"The results of a traditional facelift left my face devoid of fat, looking unnatural and unhealthy. Dr. Coleman was able to reverse these effects with Lipostructure. The results of the procedure are outstanding. I have regained the look of my younger years, beyond my expectations. While the swelling and recovery time, from Lipostructure, are greater than with other procedures, the results warrant the process. My only regret is that I didn't learn about Lipostructure sooner."

"I had my LipoStructure face procedure performed on 12/27/05 and I must confess that my recovery was so slow, I thought, never to see my face looking normal again. Then all of a sudden, just like Dr. Coleman promised, the swelling and bruising are mostly gone and of as today’s date 3/21/06, I do have minor swelling and slight bruising but, for the most part, I finally feel great about myself and people around me love the results, as well.

THERE IS A LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL!

My total experience with Tribeca Plastic Surgery Facility was always positive. During my recovery I had constant doubts and concerns and I did frequent the office more then usual. The staff and the doctors were always patient and accommodating to all my emotional and physical needs."

“Just going to Dr. Coleman’s office makes my day. He is a skilled, caring surgeon who’s integrity level is so high. I am so pleased with my results. I would use him again for anything. My skin has never looked better. It’s the best money I ever spent.”

“I just wanted to write you this letter to express how thankful I am. Back in 2001 when I first walked in your office, I was scared; and never thought you would be able to make me look as good as you have. For a whole year I was so depressed looking in the mirror, but you have changed that. Thank you, I am so happy. I live so far away, but I would never go anywhere else, nor would I ever let anyone touch my face but you. I will continue to tell all my friends and family how great you are because you changed my life…thank you again.”

“I came to Dr. Coleman at age 38, looking 45 or older. I also had severe acne scarring coupled with surgical scars from previous, unsuccessful corrective surgeries. Dr. Coleman performed lipostructure on my facial scarring and on other, prematurely aged areas of my face. Today, most of my acne scars are gone and, at age 41, I don't look a day over 35. Most importantly, however, I no longer hide at home, consumed with anxiety over my haggard and disfigured appearance. Instead, I leave the house each day feeling confident about the way I look and able to focus on the outside world and what I want to achieve in it. Lipostructure has improved not only my physical appearance but my overall quality of life.”

“I have found Dr. Coleman to be a highly credentialed medical professional who possesses the artistic sensitivities and awareness of a sculpture. He is constantly looking for ways to improve and refine his art, which is why I trust him to reduce the tell-tale signs of aging on my face, which has enabled me to feel happier and more confident about my appearance.”

“I was referred to Dr. Coleman by a physician who said that as I grow older, my eyes will continue to appear more sunken, and my face was beginning to be gaunt. He highly recommended Dr. Coleman as the pioneer of lipostructure and as a person who could "fix" my growing problem. Indeed, after a partial treatment, my eyes and my face appear much fuller and more youthful. Since I am in the public constantly, I could not afford sufficient healing time to have everything that Dr. Coleman recommended done, but I most definitely plan to return for more. The change is subtle but significant. Yesterday I was asked if I were in my early forties, and I am 57! Dr. Coleman is more than a physician; he is an artist is his ability to visualize and design what a person wants. He listens carefully and shows great care in planning how to achieve the desired results. As soon as my work schedule allows, I am planning to return to Dr. Coleman to complete

He is constantly looking for ways to improve and refine his art, which is why I trust him to reduce the tell-tale signs of aging on my face, which has enabled me to feel happier and more confident about my appearance.”

-- Marion, New York

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“My before an after pictures speak for themselves, so I guess that’s all I have to say. I just want to thank Dr. Colman and everyone else in Tribeca Plastic Surgery for your professionalism.”

-- Barbara, Art Dealer, Mexico

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“I was referred to Dr. Coleman by a physician who said that as I grow older, my eyes will continue to appear more sunken, and my face was beginning to be gaunt. He highly recommended Dr. Coleman as the pioneer of lipostructure and as a person who could "fix" my growing problem. Indeed, after a partial treatment, my eyes and my face appear much fuller and more youthful. Since I am in the public constantly, I could not afford sufficient healing time to have everything that Dr. Coleman recommended done, but I most definitely plan to return for more. The change is subtle but significant. Yesterday I was asked if I were in my early forties, and I am 57! Dr. Coleman is more than a physician; he is an artist is his ability to visualize and design what a person wants. He listens carefully and shows great care in planning how to achieve the desired results. As soon as my work schedule allows, I am planning to return to Dr. Coleman to complete the process.“

-- Entertainer, North Carolina

“It was a wonderful experience! I just turned 60 and after a facelift with another doctor, I still had thin lips and still had all the vertical lines.

Dr. Coleman recontoured my lips and got rid of all of the lines. The shape is totally natural. It took 15 years off my lower face. He is really restored the bottom of my face. I am totally delighted. I cannot say enough on how great my lips look and how great I feel!”

-- Susan, New York

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I am in the beauty industry and I see lots of plastic surgery. Good or bad, there are always scars and a facelift only works the first time around. What makes Dr. Coleman's technique different is that it can turn back the clock a decade without any cutting. 10 years later it can be repeated with similar results. Lipostructure has restored the youthful fullness to my face, the kind I used to have when I was younger. In addition, my skin is smoother as well, because it has been filled out. All this without scars! I have had 2 procedures with Dr. Coleman, twelve years ago and a year and a half ago. Each time I am amazed at the long lasting natural looking results. No one can ever guess my real age, thanks to Dr. Coleman!"

-- Johanna, Beauty Industry, Florida

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have a systemic disease called discoid lupus which involves sub-dermal fat and collagen in certain areas of the body, leaving very noticeable depressions and scaring. I had had an abdominal fat graft placed about 15 years ago but it was totally reabsorbed. Dr. Coleman performed lipostructure in Jan 2004 and Jan 2005. The abdominal fat was injected on both sides of my face. Around 40% was reabsorbed after 3 to 5 months of the first procedure, but there has been evident improvement, since jan 2005 Given that lupus is an active process that cannot be cured, I am very satisfied to see that this procedure has worked so well.

-- Maria, Columbia

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was in a serious accident in 1995 which rendered my left gluteus muscle paralyzed. After five years of atrophy, the majority of the tissue was lost. Thanks to Dr. Coleman and his lipostructure procedure, the tissue loss is almost completely restored. I now feel confident when wearing a bathing suit thanks to Dr. Coleman’s remarkable procedure.

-- Ann, Aesthetician, Florida

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My two facial Liposculpture sessions by Sydney Coleman have exceeded my high expectations. I am a busy plastic surgeon who occasionally appears on television. My goal was to diminish the depressed cheek scarring from Acne and soften some of the atrophy of aging, especially on camera. His lipoaugmentation achieved an 80% correction. Not only am I frequently told how much better I look, but there is a softer texture to my face. I am both a student and collegial friend of Sydney and I found the entire experience educational and worthwhile. I am surprised at my improved self esteem. Again he proves himself the consummate master of LipoStructure.

-- Dr. H., Plastic Surgeon, Pennsylvania

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another surgeon who performed surgery for my drooping eyelids had removed too much fat and skin. After multiple surgeries to allow my eyes to close completely, my lids were scarred and my eyes looked hollowed out. The lid crease had actually moved to right below my eyebrows. I was also very uncomfortable with dry eyes. Dr. Coleman performed two procedures to add fat and reshape the area below my eyebrows. In addition to restoring the appearance of normal eyelids, I no longer have a problem with dry eyes. I had researched all possibilities before seeing Dr. Coleman and am convinced that Lipostructure is the only procedure that could have given me a successful result.

-- Eileen, System Analyst, Maryland

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“I met Dr. Coleman in 2003. Before discovering Dr. Coleman, I had several skin peels and dermabrasions for various facial scars all performed by a board certified plastic surgeon. The plastic surgeon encouraged me to continue the procedures thinking the next one would “do the trick”. Overtime this philosophy left my face sullen, pigmented and stripped of the tops layers of skin. I finally went to another plastic surgeon for a second opinion. He looked at my sullen face and suggested Dr. Coleman. This plastic surgeon attended a seminar where Dr. Coleman presented his research on lipostructure. He suggested that I get a consultation from Dr. Coleman as he feared the procedures being performed on my face were leaving me with a new kind of facial deformity.

I had a consultation with Dr. Coleman who explained his LipoStructure technique in great detail. I remember his extensive picture taking of my face and his explanation of harvesting, purifying and then placing fat taken from other parts of my body (in my case my inner thighs) into my face for restructuring and contouring. At every step in the process, he explained in detail the expectations, risks and how the healing processes would evolve over time. He explained that it sometimes took a few procedures to get the fat interspersed correctly through out my face and that it was a very delicate procedure that needed a healing curve to optimize the results. Basically, the procedure needs a patient to be patient.

The procedure itself is not painful. You are under sedation/anesthesia by a licensed anesthesiologist and wake up with bandages on the areas where fat was removed and where it was re-deposited. His office staff is helpful and gives very clear directions as to how to care for the areas post operatively. Once the bandages are removed then the healing process begins. As a pharmacist, I can tell you that the healing curve is very patient specific. Some people bruise easier than others and some require more time for swelling to subside so there is no exact timeline for these healing steps. Most importantly since they are regulated by your own body clock, the steps can not be rushed. Also, if there is one point to reinforce is that you must follow directions given by the staff. For example, after a period of time, ice is not warranted nor is the use of steroids helpful to decrease any swelling. The swelling will go away over time and can not be rushed. I think that this is the hardest part that some find annoying and at times disconcerting. I found it helpful not to keep looking in the mirror - waiting for instant results because the results do not come instantly but rather evolve through a rejuvenating process, restoring what was loss through aging or in my case trauma. Over time the rejuvenating results are apparent. There is swelling, bruises, redness in the eyes and even a little discomfort post the procedure, but as time goes by all disappear and the results of the procedure are natural and rejuvenating.

The transplanted fat feels like normal body structures. If the transplanted fat is near bone or cartilage then it feels like bone or cartilage. The LipoStructure system feels natural to the touch. Using this technique, Dr. Coleman refined and restructured my face but most importantly brought back myself confidence. Would I do it again? Yes. It changed my life and gave me the self confidence I needed to reach my goals.“

Hello Natasha

1. Wrong. I am a repeat patient.

2. I addressed Heather because I wanted to address Heather, someone who used to post a lot and who still might be reading. Are you offended that I didn't address you? Or are you Heather?

3. "The patient who went so far as to plan killing you..."? Who do you think I am, Coleman?

4. My weird suggestions? I'm just being realistic. When you are hurt or damaged and you want to seek recourse, evidence is what you should present. Talk only goes so far. Isn't one purpose of this thread to convince others that Coleman intentionally mutilates patients? Those are strong charges. Should people just believe you at face value? I mean, this is an anonymous board and and person or small group of people could post under numerous names. So far, the best evidence that has been presented are the photos on other websites in the past. But as I said, there are problems with those too. The victims could do a lot more if they are really serious about bringing this down and destroying his credibility with the general public. This board is not the Oprah show. How many people do you think have read this thread? One hundred, one thousand, more?

5. Maybe I am wrong. Maybe this thread is just an internal support group and none of the victims really care what non-mutiliated patients and outsiders think. If that's the case, then I mis-read you victims' intentions. But if I am right that you want to wanna bring this guy down, you really need to do a lot more. Otherwise, I reckon he'll continue practicing unharmed until retirment.

6. Why am I interested? As a patient, I just want to know the objective truth. Has he mutilated scores of patients? Did he do it intentionally? It really disturbs me that someone I invested complete trust might have done such things.

Picture this. There is a huge boulder rolling down a hill. Coleman is freaking out right in front of it...trapped in his box. Can't move..."Checkmate!"

So the little pathetic twig in your hand, that you keep waving...had better be a a "Super Dupper Magic Wand" laughing...because that is what it will take...to stop the momentum of what we have started.

"Tea Cup Poodle"...attacks "Angry Pitbulls!"

"Coleman mutilates and experiments on patients while under anesthesia."

In Coleman's world?...one reality...just as logical as the other?

April, thank you for connecting. Nice to finally meet you. The circle is growing! :)

HELLO NATASHA

1. WRONG. I AM A REPEAT PATIENT.

2. I ADDRESSD HEATHER BECAUSE I WANTED TO ADDRESS HEATHER, SOMEONE WHO USED TO POST A LOT AND WHO STILL MIGHT BE READING. ARE YOU OFFENDED THAT I DIDN’T ADDRESS YOU DIRECTLY? OR ARE YOU HEATHER?

3. “THE PATIENT WHO WENT SO FAR AS TO PLAN KILLING YOU…? WHO DO YOU THINK I AM, COLEMAN?

4. MY WEIRD SUGGESTIONS? I’M JUST BEING REALISTIC. WHEN YOU ARE HURT OR DAMAGED AND YOU WANT TO SEEK RECOURSE, EVIDENCE IS WHAT YOU SHOULD PRESENT. TALK ONLY GOES SO FAR. ISN’T ONE PURPOSE OF THIS THREAD TO CONVINCE OTHERS THAT COLEMAN INTENTIONALLY MUTILATES PATIENTS? THOSE ARE STRONG CHARGES. SHOULD PEOPLE JUST BELIEVE YOU AT FACE VALUE? I MEAN, THIS IS AN ANONYMOUS BOARD AND ANY PERSON OR SMALL GROUP OF PEOPLE COULD POST UNDER NUMEROUS NAMES. SO FAR, THE BEST EVIDENCE THAT HAS BEEN PRESENTED ARE THE PHOTOS ON OTHER WEBSITES IN THE PAST. BUT AS I SAID, THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH THOSE TOO. THE VICTIMS COULD DO A LOT MORE IF THEY ARE REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT BRINGING HIM DOWN AND DESTROYING HIS CREDIBILITY WITH THE GENERAL PUBLIC. THIS BOARD IS NOT THE OPRAH SHOW. HOW MANY PEOPLE DO YOU THINK HAVE READ THIS THREAD? ONE HUNDRED, ONE THOUSAND? MORE?

5. MAYBE I AM WRONG. MAYBE THIS THREAD IS JUST AN INTERNAL SUPPORT GROUP AND NONE OF THE VICTIMS REALLY CARE WHAT NON-MUTILATED PATIENTS AND OUTSIDERS THINK. IF THAT’S THE CASE, THEN I MIS-READ YOU VCITIMS’ INTENTIONS. BUT IF I AM RIGHT THAT YOU WANNA BRING THIS GUY DOWN, YOU REALLY NEED TO DO A LOT MORE. OTHERWISE, I RECKON HE’LL CONTINUE PRACTICING UNHARMED UNTIL RETIREMENT.

6. WHY AM I INTERESTED? AS A PATIENT, I JUST WANT TO KNOW THE OBJECTIVE TRUTH. HAS HE MUTILATED SCORES OF PATIENTS? DID HE DO IT INTENTIONALLY? IT REALLY DISTUBRS ME THAT SOMEONE I INVESTED COMPLETE TRUST IN MIGHT HAVE DONE SUCH THINGS.

Agreed! Above Patient is not a patient. Patient has no idea what we have in the works. Patient is not in our circle here. Patient has multiple personalities and one of them is Coleman! Good try. Suggesting that we use a certain lighting? Sorry, but enough people have seen my pictures. The sun with shadows is the best lighting and I have captured well...the details of my mutilation "By You Coleman." Can't Touch This Coleman...Can't Touth This!"

The one with the sun showing my eyebrow? The ridge of it sticks out at least half an inch. I think it is time for more photos. You seem to be feeling a bit empowered since I removed them from New Image...because I could not use Mutilated in my headliner. Those really had you worried and with good reason.

Give me a few days, so that I can take Cake and Cracker up on that offer...of posting my pictures where I can use the words..."MUTILATED BY DR> SYDNEY COLEMAN!" You just do not know when to quit...stupid arrogant ###.

COREY

YOU ARE WRONG. I AM A PATIENT AND JUST A PATIENT. ALL I SUGGESTED IS THAT YOU USE THE SAME CONDITIONS IN YOUR BEFORE AND AFTERS. YOUR BEFORE PIC WAS GOOD. BUT IT WAS TAKEN TO LOOK GOOD. DONT YOU HAVE ANY BEFORE PICS IN CONDITIONS WITH SHADOWS TO SHOW IMPERFECTIONS. THE ONE YOU SHOWED DID NOT LOOK LIKE SOMEONE EVEN CLOSE TO 50.

BUT YOU ARE ALSO RIGHT, I AM NOT PART OF YOUR INNER CIRCLE. AND I AM NOT PART OF COLEMAN'S DEFENDERS. I AM JUST A PATIENT SEEKING THE TRUTH, NOT AFFILIATION TO EITHER GROUP.

BUT OK, IF YOU INSIST ON THINKING I AM COLEMAN, I CAN PLAY THE PART. I CHALLENGE YOU TO GO ON YOUTUBE, SHOW YOUR CURRENT FACE WITH ALL ITS IMPERFECTIONS AND ALSO SHOW LOTS OF YOUR

http://tw.youtube.com/watch?v=UsGq9ICjiOs&feature=related : VIDEOS LIKE THIS SHOCK.

http://tw.youtube.com/watch?v=y4iDKOttMgI&feature=related : IS AMERICA ANY DIFFERENT THAN RUSSIA FOR BOTCHED SURGERY RECOURSE?

HIT UP NEWSPAPER, MAGAZINE, AND TV REPORTERS. A LOT OF THEM ARE DESPERATE FOR STORIES WITH SHOCK VALUE.

POOL YOUR RESOURCES, YOUR PHOTOS, AND STORIES. IT WOULD BE A VERY INTERESTING ARTICLE WITH WIDE APPEAL.

THESE DAYS, PEOPLE LOVE TO READ ABOUT COSMETIC SURGERY''S GOOD, BAD, AND UGLY SIDES.

COME-ON, GO FOR BIG TIME EXPOSURE.

THIS FORUM IS VIRTUALLY INVISIBLE. YOU CAN DO A LOT BETTER THAN THIS.

Patient? I give Dr. Syney Coleman "FULL PERMISSION, " to post my before pictures here...that he had taken of me. Laughing. Let everyone compare with my afters. As a matter of fact...I give Coleman my full permission...to give "YOU" my before pictures. You are working so hard to find a solution for everyone and seem to have plenty of time on your hands.

Will you please post my before pictures taken by Coleman? Because even "his before pictures of me" will reveal that I looked no older than forty. Maybe even less than forty. Actually...less than forty for certain. And I am not one to say that I am younger than I truly am. I always made a joke of this idea and would throw on a few years just for the fun of it.

Dr. Sydney Coleman..."WILL YOU PLEASE POST MY BEFORE PICTURES THAT YOU HAVE TAKEN OF ME?" In all fairness...:)

COREY

YOU ARE LEGALLY ENTITLED TO COPIES OF ALL OF YOUR BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTOS TAKEN BY COLEMAN AND ALL YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS IN HIS POSSESSION.

YOU JUST NEED TO CALL IN TO HIS OFFICE AND FOLLOW-UP WITH SOME SIGNED CONFIRMATION OF YOUR REQUEST. THIS IS YOUR LEGAL RIGHT AND ALL DOCS KNOW THIS.

WHY WOULD COLEMAN POST THE PHOTOS TO INCRIMINATE HIMSELF? THAT BURDEN IS ON YOU.

FORTUNATELY, YOU ARE LEGALLY ENTITLED TO THESE MATERIALS SO IF YOU REALLY WANT, YOU CAN DO IT.

BACK TO YOU.

Patient...the "Big Time Exposure" is in the works. :) Sorry, but you get no heads up on this one! In the book called "THE ART OF WAR, " one does not share their strategy with the enemy.

"VIRTUALLY INVISIBLE? It seems "you" have easily found us. :)

And how "DID" you find us? I guess like everyone else. Googled in "Dr. Sydney Coleman, " dropped your eyes about an inch and lo and behold...there we were. "COMPLAINTS ON DR. SYDNEY COLEMAN!" Yep, about as invisible as you are...

OH! Here I go again...getting sucked in. Well, I have a nice Buffalo Steak (literally) waiting for me, hungry as a Cro-Magnon. Laughing.

COREY

GIVING SOMEONE PERMISSION ON THIS FORUM IS MEANINGLESS. IF I AM COLEMAN, AND I WANTED TO LEGALLY POST YOUR PHOTOS, I WOULD NEED A SIGNED WRITTEN STATEMENT FROM YOU.

IF I AM ANOTHER PATIENT AND I WANTED COPIES OF YOUR PHOTOS FROM COLEMAN, DO YOU THINK HIS OFFICE WOULD GIVE THEM TO ME JUST BECAUSE YOU GAVE ME PERMISSION ON THE COMPLAINTS FORUM WHICH I'M SURE HE MONITORS?

COME-ON. IF YOU REALLY WANTED TO, YOU COULD GET THESE PHOTOS FROM COLEMAN AND POST THEM SOMEWHERE YOURSELF. SO PLEASE, POST YOUR PHOTOS, IN ALL FAIRNESS.

OH, AND I DO HAVE A LOT OF TIME ON MY HANDS. DONT YOU?

COREY, NO OFFENSE. BUT YOU'VE BEEN TALKING BIG TALK FOR A LONG TIME NOW.

THE ART OF WAR IS A GREAT BOOK. I HOPE YOU REALLY GET IT AND YOUR NOT JUST SOME PAPER TIGER. TIME WILL TELL.

I FOUND THIS BOARD BY SEARCHING 'COLEMAN COMPLAINTS'. BUT IT DOESNT COME UP FOR OTHER MORE COMMON THINGS LIKE COSMETIC MUTILATIONS, DISASTERS, ETC. AND AS I SAID, THE BOARD DOES NOT OFFER ANY REAL EVIDENCE. POSTERS ARE ANYMOUS AND THERE ARE NO PHOTOS.

Hey, corey.
Hope you are well. Just so you know, I'm pup/gardenia.
Anytime you want I'll post your images on an image hosting board, along with a link that will bring you straight there.
you can title them anything you want.
:)

OK COREY. YOU'VE GOT A SECURE PLACE TO POST YOUR PHOTOS FROM CAKE AND CRACKER (AKA PUP/GARDENIA)

NOW YOU CAN SHOW YOUR BEFORE PHOTOS AND MARKED PHOTOS FROM COLEMAN. IF YOU APPLY TODAY, YOU CAN PROBABLY GET THEM BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

UH! Patient? You are not very thorough...for one with losts of time on your hands? If you had read the posts, you would have noted that he has repeatedly refused to provide my before pictures and I have not returned to the Devil for any afters. And where were you when my pictures were posted on New Image? Everyone else has seen them? Shocked, horrified to say the least they were.

Paper Tiger? Tiger is part of me. Tiger calls people out and exposes them. I do not take you as a challenge. Laughing.

But I will be posting here and elsewhere.

Pup/Gardenia, Very nice hearing from you. :) Could you please send this information to me directly. I am getting comfortable with a few new computer skills. Now "that" is a challenge for me...with my not being a techie person. Smiling. One which I will enjoy and find worthy of my time. Appreciated. Thank you. Love...

Awesome night! Off for an ice cream cone and a sit by the water. AHHHH! :)

OH! And patient, I am aware of the law...but Coleman is not accustomed to abiding by it. So, he can act on his warped sense of entitlement and post my pictures. He obviously does what he wants anyway! Dummy?

O.K.

Getting your images up at a image hosting site is easy!
First, you select what image hoster you want to use: so google image hosting

http://www.imagehosting.com/index.php

That is the first one that came up for me, and it looks like a good one.

1) click the "browse" button
2) "browse" through the images you have on your computer and when you find the one you want up, press "open" on the window that pops up
3) press the "host it" button.

4) then copy and paste the url at the top of the page in this forum.

that's it. People can follow that url to the pictures. feel free to ask if you have any other questions. I think the images might even come up here, let's see

[URL=http://www.imagehosting.com] [IMG]http://www.imagehosting.com/out.php/i1796204_girl20darshai.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

nope this forum doesn't host images :(
love to you to though :) Hope things get better

O.K. better yet, Register at that site first, then you can have all of your photos under the same name and you can create an "album."

PUP/GARDENIA

I HAVE SAVED THE VICITIM PHOTOS FROM THE SITE WHICH WAS SHUT DOWN BEFORE AND WOULD BE HAPPY TO POST THEM TO YOUR NEW LINK. IF YOU ARE WILLING.

IF THERE ARE DOUBTS ABOUT MY IDENTITY, YOU COULD PROVIDE AN ALTERNATE ONE TO THE ONE YOU GIVE TO COREY. I COULD ALSO EMAIL THE PHOTOS TO YOU AND YOU COULD POST THEM YOURSELF. THERE ARE 14 SLIDES AND MOST OF THEM HAVE TWO PHOTOS EACH.

COREY

IF COLEMAN REFUSED TO PROVIDE YOU WITH YOUR BEFORE PHOTOS, I ASSUME HE ALSO REFUSED TO PROVIDE YOU WITH THE MARKED UP PHOTOS. IF THAT IS SO, I BELIEVE YOUR LEGAL CASE AGAINST HIM WILL BE MUCH EASIER AND STRONGER. SUCH REFUSAL IS A VERY STRAIGHTFORWARD AND EASY TO PROVE BREACH OF LAW. YOU CAN SEND HIM REGISTERED MAIL REQUESTS WHICH YOU KEEP COPIES OF TOO.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE PHOTOS I WILL POST ON PUP/GARDENIA'S LINK, YOU WILL SEE THAT ONE OF THEM HAS FACIAL MARKINGS, ANOTHER ONE NECK MARKINGS, AND THE INFAMOUS PENIS SHOTS HAVE BODY MARKINGS. OBVIOUSLY, THESE WERE ALL TAKEN BY COLEMAN ON OPERATING DAY AND THESE PATIENTS WERE ABLE TO GET COPIES FROM HIM LATER.

WHEN I POST THE OTHER PHOTOS, I CAN ALSO INCLUDE YOURS IF YOU AGREE. I SAVED THEM AS WELL.

I ADMIT POSTING YOUR PHOTOS WAS A BRAVE STEP. BUT YOU'VE PROMISED TO DO SO MUCH MORE AND ITS ALREADY BEEN OVER 7 MONTHS SINCE YOUR FIRST POST. COLEMAN IS GETTING UP THERE IN YEARS. AT THIS RATE, HE'LL BE HAPPILY RETIRED BEFORE YOU EVEN GET STARTED.

NATASHA

I NEVER SAID ANYONE SHOULD STOP THEIR ACTIVITY ON THE COMPLAINTS BOARD. ALL I DID WAS APPEAL TO ALL VICTIMS TO EXPAND YOUR ATTACK. INCREASE EXPOSURE AND GO FURTHER TOWARDS PROVING YOUR ALLEGATIONS.

YOU SPEAK OF FACTS. WELL, IF THE FACTS ARE AS YOU SAY, YOU COULD GO A LOT FURTHER TOWARDS PROVING THEM. THE COMPLAINTS BOARD PROVES NOTHING OTHER THAN THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE TRYING TO DESTROY COLEMAN WITH VARIOUS VERBAL ATTACKS. THE PHOTOS POSTED IN OTHER AREAS TO DATE DO SOMEWHAT MORE. BUT YOU CAN TAKE THIS A LOT FURTHER.

MY GOAL IS TO EXPOSE THE TRUTH. FOR NOW, IM NOT ON ANYBODY''S SIDE, YOURS OR COLEMAN'S. LET THE PHOTOS AND FACTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. YOU ASKED ME TO POST PHOTOS OF COREY. WELL, I CAN DO THAT. BUT FIRST, LET ME POST THE OTHERS. THANKS TO PUP/GARDENIA'S INFORMATION, HERE THEY ARE:

OK NATASHA. WHY DON'T YOU CONTRIBUTE SOME MORE PHOTOS TOO. I TAKE IT THAT YOU WANT TO HELP. AND SPREAD THESE ALONG WITH COREY'S WIDE AND FAR.

Hey All! I would like to accomplish this task of posting my pictures on my own please? I found the "Image Hosting" site and have been there before. It is familiar and not too techie difficult for me. Laughing.

Getting the hang of things here. Plus I would like to add a few more, have them all together in a nice grouping. Will get to it later this evening.

And that was a "Buffalo Steak, " not "Beefalo Burger!" Building up my energy here...:)

Please realize that we can only share so much information. Even in telephone conversation. Not all can be devulged, so as not to give Coleman a heads up. You say that I have been "just talking for seven months?" Things unfold in their own due time and I am rather pleased with what is. I am not here to meet your expectations or hidden agenda.

I do not understand the intense pressure on your part, for us to take action? It seems somewhat manipulative. Do you have a vendetta against Coleman? Your partiality has an undercurrent of "make the ### suffer!" Are you a surgeon who wants to take him down? There is something personal in this for you? What is it?

And your approach is more offensive than helpful. What baby steps I have taken in seven months, are now turning into strides. Nobody is going to take away my gains. Not even you.

I have a "VISION", know exactly what I am doing and every puzzle piece is falling into place. Yes, the Universe is supporting this "VISION". "When it is meant to go...it will flow!"

Hang In April, We Love You! When you can begin to laugh again...daily...the healing is happening.

Hey All Again! While I was the "Walking Dead" after being mutilated by Coleman, I had created a Flickr account for picture sharing. Just discovered it. I will post there as well. And I think I may have one other account. Shows what happens when you lose your mind and begin to get it back...:)

They will all be listed under..."PRETHENIE MUTILATED BY DR. SYDNEY COLEMAN."

How sad. I just viewed these pictures again. Just as distrubing as the first time. :( Thanks Pup and Patient.

I would say that they have not posted my pictures, because obviously it can be done without this complaint board doing it. They do not need to babysit, they are already doing an incredible service.

For those like me...unable to get there? I created an e-mail...dragged over this list of links to view...placed them on it and sent them to myself. When I opened the e-mail...the links were in blue and ready to be clicked for viewing. Someone probably already gave these instructions? Right? :)

And would people please create a name if you have not already and use the same one, so that there are not two or three people listed the same. I find myself getting confused. Just on these past few pages.

And patient, I am only questioning your motivation? What your interest is in all of this? I appreciate the help that is not antagonistic. Let us all try to be more gentle with one another, myself included.

COREY AND NATASHA

FIRST I'M COLEMAN, NOW I'M A SURGEON WHO WANTS TO BRING HIM DOWN. WHAT WILL BE YOUR NEXT SPECULATION OR DO YOU WANNA STICK WITH THIS ONE?

LETS JUST SAY YOUR RIGHT. WOULDINT THAT ALIGN MY MOTIVATIONS WITH YOURS? MOREOVER, IF I AM A INDEED A COMPETING SURGEON, THAT WOULD MAKE ME A POWERFUL ALLY GIVEN MY MONEY AND INHERENT UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THE MEDICAL / LEGAL MACHINE OPERATES.

YOU ACCUSE ME OF HAVING A BIAS AGAINST HIM, OF WANTING TO BRING HIM DOWN, PERHAPS FOR PERSONAL REASONS, WHILE YOU AND THE OTHERS IN THE 'INNER CIRLCE' DISCUSS PLANS TO PUT HIM AWAY AND HOW UNFORTUNATE IT IS THAT HE WAS NOT KILLED A LONG TIME AGO BY A DISGRUNTED PATIENT. HMMM.

YOU APPEAL FOR US ALL TO BE GENTLE. BUT YOU AND NATASHA REFUTE MY ORIGINAL CLAIM OF BEING HIS PATIENT AND HAVE MADE SEVERAL OTHER POINTED COMMENTS IN MY DIRECTION. YOU HAVE ALSO ATTACKED NEUTRAL COMMENTORS SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST.

MAYBE I WILL EXPLAIN MY MOTIVATIONS AT SOME POINT. BUT FOR THE TIME BEING, I DON'T SEE THE POINT SINCE WHATEVER I SAY IS DISMISSED AS ACTING AND HAVING HIDDEN MEANINGS AND UNDERCURRENTS.

NATASHA

WHY WOULD I POST MY OWN PHOTOS ON THE INTERNET? REMEMBER, I'M A SURGEON SO THAT COULD GET ME INTO BIG TROUBLE. VERY BOSSY, ARROGANT, AND PRESUMPTUOUS? WELL I GUESS THATS WHAT A DOC'S PRESTIGE AND MONEY DOES TO SOMEONE OVER TIME. ROFLMAO

WHEN DID I EVER SAY I WAS A HAPPY PATIENT? RAPPORT AND TRUST? THAT ONLY APPLIES TO PEOPLE IN THE 'INNER CIRCLE' AND TO JOIN, ONE KEY REQUIREMENT IS YOU ARE 100% ANTI-COLEMAN. NEUTRAL POSTERS NEED NOT APPLY.

I SUGGESTED YOU CONTRIBUTE NEW PHOTOS AND/OR SPREAD THE OLD ONES. THAT DOESN'T MEAN THEY HAVE TO BE YOUR OWN. YOU SUGGESTED I DO THAT WITH COREY'S PHOTOS SO I JUST MADE THE SAME SUGGESTION BACK TO YOU.

SERIOUSLY SPEAKING ABOUT PHOTOS. ITS TOUGH ACTION TO TAKE. YOU OPEN YOURSELF UP FOR RECOGNITION BY PEOPLE YOU KNOW AND POSSIBLE LEGAL ATTACKS. IDEALLY, THERE WOULD BE A WAY TO HIDE THE PATIENT'S IDENTITY WHILE STILL SHOWING THE ALLEGED DAMAGE (THE NECK PHOTO AND PERHAPS BODY SHOT MIGHT MEET THIS CRITERIA). BUT FOR THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY TAKEN THE PLUNGE, WHY NOT GO FULL BLAST? IN ANY CASE, IF THOSE ARE TRULY YOUR UNALTERED PHOTOS, YOU TOOK BRAVE UNSELFISH STEPS TO HELP OTHERS. LIKE I SAID, I MAY ATTEMPT TO EXPLAIN MYSELF AGAIN. BUT FOR NOW, TRUST AND RAPPORT LEVEL ARE TOO LOW.

Natasha, I got badgered as well. uh! seven months of doing nothing? :) I feel baby steps to strides is huge... after what I have been through. never mind anything else here.

Patient loathes coleman and is just wanting to help us take him down... using the wrong approach. hear that patient? do not be frustrated by what appears to be a slow process. we just need to connect all of the dots to secure his journey into the prison system.

I do see coleman's "early retirment," but it will not be a happy one. kissing up on a daily basis for protection in a prison system? it will be perpetual violation without anesthesia. he will not be the "walking dead" as he made us. but very alert to every second... of what will feel like an etenity to him. this does not give me pleasure... I am saying what I see.

I've followed this docs work for a long time. until recently, I considered him a hero. many years ago, it seemed like everyone was getting bad face lifts or un-natural looking collegen put in their lips. but coleman offered a new concept at the time - that turning back the clock is not about pulling but rather about replacing lost volume. I thought about it long and hard and compared photos of people in their 20s vs to their 30s and 40s. from this, I became convinced that the volume concept is indeed the correct approach, contrary to the popular opinion that faces should be pulled and fat sucked out of them. fortunately, I think the majority of docs get this now. and there seems to be at least several great fat grafters out there who have emerged over the years with no controversy about their intentions or work.

Unfortunately, fat has its downside too. I didn’t realize how it creates lots of internal scarring making it difficult if not impossible to reverse if overdone.

Of course, given my high regard for this doc, I had work done by him too. was I mutilated? I doubt it. at least I don't seem to scare people away. and I didnt look that great before anyway. do I look better or worse now? that's a hard call. I sure look different. before I thought my face was too gaunt. now I feel over-filled and round. but the fat also seems to have improved the skin quality somewhat. and loosing weight seems to help a little too. also, I think I was over-harvested in some areas. however there are no obvious deformities like I saw in one of the buttocks photos. the general impression I got from the whole process was that he was trying his best to achieve my cosmetic goals.

By the way, the recent talk about bio alcamid interested me so I checked it out briefly. but the only information I found indicates its use for extreme facial gauntness. I couldn't find anything about putting it other parts of the body to correct overdone liposuction or harvesting.

Anyway, my long term plan was to see this doc every 5 years or so for touch-ups. I considered him a sort of fountain of facial youth.

I first became aware of the problems a year or so ago when I visited one of the cosmetic boards and discovered discreet references to the controversy about this doc and all his unhappy patients. that’s the first time I ever began to have any significant doubts about him.

Now I want the full truth from both sides to be exposed. and the following is just my opinion. I am not the judge or even a doctor - if he mutilated patients intentionally, then he should be stopped and punished big time. if they are rare and accidental complications (perhaps less than 1 in 1, 000 or whatever medical standards dictate), then he should be required to provide full simply worded written disclosure of the risks and worst case scenarios to future patients well before they pay any deposit. and I would also hope that those damaged patients be awarded very generous settlements even if the poor outcome was unintentional. there are other possibilities too. I just hope for complete justice to prevail in this case.

There is nothing to argue here. the approach by patient is still antagonistic. tit for tat #. I sense an almost a preverted sense of pleasure derived, from her getting your goat natasha. let it go.

You have contributed the most here and have every right to respond to attack... but deserve more respect and deserve some peace. maybe it is louisa. laughing. now that would be a trip.

Patient, go find another playground and leave my good friend out of your "feeble attempt at mind#ing!" I do not care who you are, even if you are someone that I have had good conversation with. if so, I have seen a side that I do not care for.

You do not cut to the chase, you are evasive/insulting/insinuating/antagonistic. how could anyone possibly trust you? I do not.

Natasha, hold the vision! smiling. april, hold the vision! every coleman victim... hold the vision. love...
