This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

Dr. Sydney Coleman, founder of Lipostructure has more than 50 complaints against him that have been filed with the DOH in NYC. This doctor has no business calling himself the founder of anything much less fat transfer. His fat grafts do not last at all and he harvests fat from areas without the patients' consent and leaves them with new problem areas. He took an oath to protect the patient, but he destroys their lives. He charges exuberant prices and you end up disfigured. Please do not go to him. You will be making the biggest mistake of your life. I made the mistake and have to live with the consequences daily. He has no conscience nor regard for his actions.

Buyer Beware!

Has anyone found that the puffy eyelids from fat grafting get better with time or with more physical activity?

If you try to remove fat graft be prepared for a treadmill of surgeries! In my eperience it has been the gift that keeps on giving.However I do know of a lady who had only one excision and was fixed.Not my case.

What is wrong with Coleman? I think he is demented and has poor reasoning. How old is he? Does he suffer from dementia? Maybe that could explain his strange and poor perception of reality.

I can't believe the lies I read by Coleman: "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."!
If this is true, why does his face look so lumpy and old? Hasn't he recovered YET?
This con man will have you waiting forever for the final outcome that will never come! The real outcome that he refuses to admit: flat, deflated skin!
And I must say he does look like Freddy Crougar on that icky Doctors show, as someone on here said previously.
And he says that you all went to other surgeons to try and place the blame on others.

Dr. Reisman sounds like a he is instructing evil doctors on how to select their best prime victims, like any good predator knows:

"Heading off trouble
The surest way to deal with problempatients
can be summed up in one statement, says
Dr. Reisman: It’s easier not to get in than it is
to get out.Use your best judgment in patient
selection – don’t take on those you feel will
be problematic, no matter what."

Dr. Reisman, who do you like to pick on? Is it elderly old women maybe?
problematic? not getting consent could cause anyone to be problematic! Coleman belongs in jail for violating people.

and what is this story by Coleman about a mystery man who had prior surgery, begged him to operate on him, and then disappeared to another country? clearly the victims posted here are not even men so what is he talking about? sounds like he made up a story to hide behind.

When recently i purchased a jar of your apple sauce i was very dissapointed, There seemed to be more of the core added than apples. I only purchase well known brands and have never had any reason for complaint with any of your products in the past but i will be avoiding your apple sauce in the future.
I felt i had to let you know about this as this ruined my families sunday meal.

Wow. I am scheduled for a consultation with dr coleman and am shocked at this. To the woman with the curly brown hair: on your forehead do you just feel you have to much fat placed, or is it "wavy"? Do you have ridges or bumps, as well?

To the woman with the straight hair: do you just feel you have to much fat placed, or is it "wavy" or "ridgey" or does it have bumps as well?

I hope you don't mind me asking these somewhat personal questions. thank you

I would like to know if it's the incompetency of the doctor or is fat transfer just a wrong procedure to be done in the first place?I, myself am interested in the treatment but am having second thoughts now.Even if I do decide to give it a try, it would definitely not be any of these doctors mentioned here.Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

Don't do it! you will be very, very sorry. It is a procedure done by bad doctors who are salesmen. They will stuff you with the fat and then when you look worse they will lie and insist you look better.

Only then will fat grafting will be a good procedure.

Those rubbery lumps are made up of fat cells, so it does take and can get bigger.If the lumps are rock hard than it may be plain old scar tissue .Either way they suck and are very very hard to remove .

What con artists would charge people to get fatter? You can eat more and get fat! Mischa Barton had a guant face and now she is fat. I wonder if she had fat grafts...NOT!

where can we find out what lab or doctor is researching how to remove fat grafts? I want scientific answers to what is going on in face.
There must be some Godsend somewhere researching and studying this? seems to me you start overfilled then you start hacking at the fat grafts some kinf of way after trying to figure out what to do with no real guidance then something even wierder starts to happen like "regenerating"turns into a treadmill of procedures.Sleepless nights and isolation, oh and dont forget a eating disorder because a few pounds makes a big diffrence too.

I called Rene today. I asked her if fat grafts would make me look younger and she said: YES, they will! What a horrible joke to play on someone. I asked her how old she was and she said 47. I asked her if she had fat grafts and she said no. If they work so great why hasn't she had any by age 47?

She didn't even ask my age. She just right away stated that the fat grafting would make me look younger.
Rene was also quick to point out that the surgery would cost 20, 000 ! Gee, I wonder what her true intentions were. To make me look younger or make $$$20, 000. I think we all now know the answer to this one now!

Last night this plastic surgery woman on a TV show called The Insider was in the guineas book of world records for having the most plastic surgery done. She was so strange looking and her entire face was all messed up. yet she said that people had plastic surgery because they like the results and she said that she liked her results! Looks like denial is a likely side-effect of plastic surgery! her brows were going every which way and she looked like so obviously mutilated, yet she had the nerve to say that the actress Heidi Montage had an uneven face before she recently too was mutilated! Now she looks like an alien!

wow did you see Heidi Montag's strange mask on Access Hollywood? It is just two months after surgery so lets hope it all goes away! This is a great example of how ugly fat grafting is and how it is being abused to make money off people with no need for any fat in the first place. The doctor ripped her off for 30, 000 just to inject her with her own fluids and liposuctioned fat. How discusting that this ugly man, Dr. Frank Ryan, would take advantage of someone who depended on her looks in her profession and must have sincerely believed him when he claimed he would improve on her appearance.

Is Frank Ryan gay? he sure looks like one. No wonder he tried to make Heidi look like a transvestite.
he is incredibly ugly yet giving suckers advice on looks! he looks like a bony alien faced creep and he hides behind his charity to gain trust from his victims, no doubt.
