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

blah...blah...blah...

pup
if i were considering eye surgery with a doc everyone promoted, i would be confident in my going. however, if i saw one persons complaint that some monumental happened to her or him, i would change my mind. one person, or a thousand...would not make a differance to me. this site was not up when i had surgery, if it had been, well, i guess i would not be talking to you.

is this any of you?

i found that on "yestheyrefake" If you want to view the image cut and paste the web address:

Hello Pup, Thank you for posting these links. I have registered with New Image, but my pictures were too big and only my forehead and hairline were visible. I needed to delete. The policy is only for posting, no bashing. But the pictures will speak for themselves...along with a description of my request of Coleman. Need help on sizing...computer friends?

Dr. Coleman's Patient egged me on and now it is backfiring. One can only be beaten down for so long and then you learn the "ART OF WAR!" Will also be sending pictures to this site and any other that you recommend for posting.

Will answer any e-mails in the future and encourage them. :)

I would like to thank everyone for the tremendous amount of support and caring. I have posted my pictures on the "New Image" web-site posted by Pup. My picture, one year prior to mutilation by Coleman...will be my icon. My after mutilation by Coleman pictures, will be in my album...and do click on the "other pictures" to find more.

Will be updating in the near future, even more revealing pictures. My name being used is Prethenie and I am listed under plastic surgery. If anyone has difficluty finding this, please ask Pup on the "how" of getting there? Laughing/Smiling.

Will be forwarding..."FINALLY" to this complaint board...my before and after pictures as well.

I encourage others to follow...:)

Also, if you see my pictures on this other (New Image) site, note that my after pictures should look as my before...so you would think? Sadly, the more youthtful picture is before Coleman and the old haggy one is after Coleman's mutilation of me. The sagging was caused by extreme amounts of fat placed all over my face, which remained for such along period of time, that it stretched the skin to this very degree.

Have Coleman explain? how a woman who had lived forty-seven years...did not have this amount of sagging...before her face-lift one year prior...yet in several years after his handi-work..., her skin drooped to such a degree. I will need corrective surgery and will get it eventually. Just afraid at this point, to risk being in the hands of another surgeon. I have one last shot. My facial struture is the same...he did not cut any skin on my face, so there is hope if I find a skilled and sane surgeon.

OH! By the way Coleman...I dare for you to doctor up my pictures or lie about them. I had a plastic surgeon and professional photographer document before and afters of my own. I probably should not have given such a heads up...would love to see you lie about htis before a jury...but you are going down regardless.

Note all..."READ MY PREVIOUS POSTINGS! THIS WAS ALL DONE WITHOUT MY CONSENT OR KNOWLEDGE! ONLY THE OUTER CORNERS OF MY EYES AND LIPS WERE TO BE DONE!" COLEMAN CHOSE TO EXPERIMENT ON ME! DO NOT FORGET THE OTHER BODILY MULTATIONS THAT I ENDURED UNDER HIS "SUPPOSED CARE?"

SHAME ON THOSE IN THE MEDICAL FIELD...WHO STAND BY AND ALLOW FOR THIS TO HAPPEN FOR "THE CODE OF SILENCE!" YOU ARE JUST AS GUILTY!

Will be posting more pictures on all sites. Especially after getting home from Coleman's office...the one with my head twice it's size...which remained so for over a year...progressivley getting back to looking human. This spring is the first time a man has looked at me as a possiblity since Coleman. Not a wow, but a maybe.

Have sent in photos for this site. Will be arriving soon. Thank you...

OK, finding this is a bit complicated
Corey, would you like me to type directions here?

I just saw the photos...Oh my god. Firstly, you were soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so BEAUTIFUL before he did anything to you. Prettier than sharon stone.You looked a lot like Kim Catrall when she was a bit younger. I really have no words...What he did is ETHICALLY WRONG. You are right what he did goes beyond a subjective, aesthetic down-grade, he genuinely MUTILATED your BEAUTIFUL face. Dear God.

Corey, email me if you can.

Also, did you try having the fat remmoved?
If you loose weight does it make a difference?

What amazes me... is that he actually ADDS the hallmarks of age to your face. He makes you brows stick out...and have deep furrows between them. Sooooo wrong! So crazy!

Pup, It would be nice for others if you were to post directions, to get to my pictures on the "New Image" site. I do not know how soon they will post here...on this complaint board, but I have sent them to the administrator of this site already. Thanks for suggesting this site. And if you have more complaint sites for me to post, please share them. I will be sending them to everyone that I learn of. And that goes for anyone else that may have such information to share.

Not to worry, I am feeling pretty good inside right now. Coleman did not cut into my face, so it can be corrected...just waiting for the right surgeon to come along.

Fellow victim, she knew that I was a real patient. Even her lawyer knew this. I just could not make my apointment into New York and needed to reschedule. This infuriated her and she would not find it acceptable for me to come the following week...a three hour drive into the city. I did not serve her purpose any longer, so she made every attempt to alienate all against me. It did not work as you can see. It was a fabrication on her part, telling everyone that I was a mole for Coleman, when in reality, I did not meet her demands, what she wanted...and when she wanted it. I told her attorney, that I refused to be her doormat, because when he tried to encourage me to be a witness for her? NOT! Not after that kind of betrayal.

OK
Just copy this url and paste it into the url section of your screen: where the "http://www." sits.

There seems to be a pattern here. It seems that the patients claiming that he did wonders were unattractive before surgery. The patients he has totally mutilated have been beautiful. I was pretty before my surgery. So, there seems to be a pattern...he hates beautiful people, especially woman. There isn't an attractive woman that works for him...the receptionist was gorgeous...what was his name? The woman all unattractive, so I suppose prior posting were correct, and this man has been seriously wounded by a woman, perhaps his mother, and now he secretly seeks revenge behind the closed doors of the o.r. I feel sick.

Hoping to get a picture up soon, of the swelling after surgery by Coleman. I feel it is important for all to see the size of my face, so they can better grasp the fact that this "Hugely Bulbous Look"...is how it remained for over a year. I had smaller fine features, so imagine being stretched out for such an extended period of time.

The changes that took place from then on, were gradual. The reduction in fat...began in different areas and was incredibly uneven...very obviously so. I witnessed how one cheek was larger in the upper area of the other, grotesquely so and my other cheek was much larger on the lower side than the other. This was intenional. There is no doubt in my mind, that Coleman was acutely aware and very methodic in wanting to harm me.

NOW..."I TOO AM GETTING SICK!"

THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE OUTCOME IS ALL OF THIS...IS PRISON FOR COLEMAN! THESE HEINOUS CRIMES COMMITED AGAINST THE INNOCENT, WHO HAD PLACED THEIR TRUST IN HIM...ARE AN ACT OF VIOLENCE...NOT JUST AGAINST THE VICTIMS...BUT ALL SOCIETY! EVERYONE READING THIS...PLEASE DO NOT STOP HERE...AND JUST NOT GO TO COLEMAN. SPREAD THE WORD! SAVE LIVES AND STOP THIS PSYCHOPATH!

It hurts to know others have gone through this as well. The amount of suffering this man has caused/is still causing is unforgivable. Please help us to stop him?

Who is the doctor that did the face of booboo123 on that page he is good, does anyone no?

I must be hallucinating...

The address below is corey's profile home from where you can access her blog and profile.
Be sure to send your love and say hi to this beautiful woman who is bravely dealing with a lot and I know will overcome her current situation.

Also, corey, check out someone called Dr. Rimerez. he's supposed to be really helpful. Email me if you want anymore info.

Pup, How do I start a "Topic" page over there at New Image? :) I have my blog set up, but do not see how to create a Topic for discussion on Coleman? Also, I tried to find ta way to use the link you posted for my profile...but it does not go through for me? Just in case others may encounter this, do not want any glitches in them getting there. I am eager to get these pictures out there! I want everyone here to see the proof...of what Coleman has done to me and use it as a sampling of what he has done to many! This exact...intentional mutlilation/experimentation.

People need to know, this is not an isolated case...or that I wanted this. It is obvious that I did not feel the need, for anything beyond minor fine tuning. There is no mistaking that this was intentional mutilation/experimentation. I am so sickened when I see other "Coleman Victim" pictures and hear the same exact stories about their experiences with him.

The best form of advertising is "Self Promotion"...the worst is "Unhappy Victims Who Have Found The Internet!"

Have been invited to post my pictures at this web-site.

www.plastictastic.com

Response? "BUT OF COURSE!" Will check it out and post more pictures. See everyone? They will find us. The more we post, the more powerful force we victims become. Victims are creating sites everywhere to expose criminals like Coleman.

Yes, you read correctly Sydney. The ball is rolling and gaining momentum. If you think this is minor, think again. Every little bit helps. And when people see small things happening, they will come together and make big things happen. Taking you down is big, only because a corrput system protects you. So in actuality, you are not at all big... as you have deluded yourself into believing! The sytem is. The system is...not you. I would imagine you are begining to feel the truth in this. I will not taunt you again. I will just wait for my day in court. And I will most definitely have it along with every other person here that you have harmed.

well i am very happy with dr coleman. he is the best doctor in the world..that is how i feel:)

VERY HAPPY
DESPITE YOUR SORRY POST I AM AT LEAST GRATEFULL THAT YOU DO NOT POST YOUR SPLENDID OUTCOME, AS THAT WOULD CAUSE MORE HARM THAN YOUR WORDS OF PRAISE I AM SURE. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT YOU SAW HER FACE AND STILL CHOSE TO BRAGG ABOUT YOUR BEAUTY? I AM A COLEMAN VICTIM AND AM AT A LOSE OF WORDS AFTER SEEIG HER PHOTO. HOW CAN ANYONE THAT IS HAPPY BE WITHOUT EMPATHY FOR WHAT SHE ANY MANY OTHERS HAVE ENDURED? IF I HAD A SUCCESSFUL OUTCOME, I WOULD NEVER WANT TO REVEAL THAT TO HER OR THE OTHERS. I WOULD SILENTLY STILL PRAY FOR HER JUSTICE AND FEEL GUILTY ABOUT MY HAPPINESS. YOU MIGHT BE A HAPPY PATIENT, BUT I KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOT A BEAUTIFUL PERSON.

You can also navigate to the pictures, blog, and other features from the main profile page. New Image is kinda' a sucky site. I dislike all plastic surgery sites because they advertise plastic surgery. Reading these sites' relation of easy, pain-free, virtually risk-free appearance improvement is what get me into this mess. No one informed me that the procedure I underwent because of the advertisments I read had a high risk of destroying my face, or that there is a controversy over whether the procedure accomplishes what it is sold as doing, in any case.

How many people are persuing claims or have persued claims against coleman?
How many very unhappy patients are there?
I know that this is legally...testy subject, so feel free to preface your response with "to the best of my knowledge.." I'm not a lawyer, but I beleive when you explicitily point out that you are just stating your opinion* it's not legally contestable.

Very Happy, Have you seen my pictures...before and after? I dare to be kind enough to say your excuse here is that you have not. If you have..."There Is No Excuse For You." If you have seen my pictures and witnessed what Coleman has done to me, then your suffering is so beyond...what any of us have experienced here.

We temporarily lost our minds through this trauma...but to not have one at all?

I would like to see your pictures? I would like to see what your definition of beauty is...considering you feel that "you" are? And if this were actually true...what purpose do you serve on this planet without a mind or heart. There are wonderful people who are brain dead and who have not chosen this in life...lo and behold? here you are walking around choosing to be so?

"GO FIGURE?"

You may as well go back to your BLAH! BLAH! BLAH! Because again...this is all that you really have said...

Listen, i am not saying anything towards you, I am sorry for you and what u are feeling, but this site is about dr coleman ..And i am telling YOU how i feel and what i experienced with him!...before i even knew about Dr coleman i for 1 year didnt even go out of my house, i didnt want to date or do anything because of some dr who I should of sued but honestly it was my choice to even Do anything..I agreed to have surgery, i signed all the papers to have surgery..it was MY fault!..sometimes things dont go how we want them to go..but instead of sitting here and saying all these things and wasting time..why not GO and do something about how u feel inside, how u look..You looked very beautiful before your surgery and i am sure u can get that back!...I had 3 surgerys with Dr coleman in the 8 years because my face was so bad and i had to plan out each time i went ...I never left there feeling like he touched me in any certian way, I never left there feeling upset, and That is untrue the people who work there are beautiful people!.They are all so helpful, they are all sweet and nice!...
By all means i am not putting u down, looking down on you, or anything i am telling you, That plastic surgery is a choice...and i dont believe you went there wanting minor lines removed..HE draws on your face before hand...lets u no step by step what he wants to do, and u agree right?...you didnt heal right maybe?...and I dont agree that fat cant be removed, i had A tiny bit taken out from him once..and it was fine..so all these things are not true...its been 3 years, NO lawyer will take a case of a plastic surgeon who is so respected in the plastic surgery world!..he is respected all over the world...The reason dr coleman charges so much is because normally, fat transfer dies after about a year...His technique lives and lives..and i believe that because its been since 2001 and i have not seen any difference in the fat..also it heals very even..This is all my opinion and there are many more that have my opinion also..LIke i said, some turn out great, some not..and in your case i am very sorry but u should do something now that u are young..i only waited a year...i didnt think twice of sueing anyone!..i didnt even contact the office afterward cause i was wrong for doing anything to begin with...i looked great no need to have surgery..but i was so into the tiniest imperfections that i went ahead and had surgery...I didnt wait i found help right away..i traveled far, spent money in hotels...and i am SO thankful for Dr coleman that is why i am mad!..mad because to me he saved me ..to you he is the worst person!..but like i said its a choice! I am not here to fight, and i do want u to look like you did in your before picture..so get help..dont sit here and keep with all this its not worth this seriously..nothing will come of this, but wasted time and another year gone ..U need to regain your self esteem back..u need to correct what is not right in your Face..literally you were so beautiful..and i am sure inside to...but i just have a diffrent view than u do..and there are so many plastic surgeons out there that can do wonders for others but than just doesnt happen for the next..God created our looks and we should all be happy with ourselves...In my case i wish i didnt have to do anything, but i myself was wrong also to have touched my face to start with...

Oh! It's you Hanna. For one, I am 52 years old. I looked 35 to 40 before Coleman got his hands on me. I was very pleased with my figure and my looks. My surgeon had done my lips using Coleman's technique. The fat did not remain, so I thought..."Why Not Go To The Best?" I sought out Coleman and thought, may as well get those fine lines around the eyes at the same time.

If you believe that I chose to have anything done beyond that? you need to re-think. I never considered myself a Goddess, but I never had a problem walking into a room and grabbing attention. Men decide what is attrative and I was considered attractive. Treating myself to a rested look was something nice that I wanted to do for myself. I did not want ot change how I looked, just look refreshed.

I can appreciate your gratitude for help you may have recieved, but find it inappropriate the attack on those...myself included...who feel the need ot want to protect others. This is not about feeling sorry for ourselves..."been there done that." It is about preventig harm to others by a man who has repeatedly damaged lives.

Ask yourself now, what could I possibly have requested of Coleman to end up looking like that? Do you really belive that I wanted a big face. I had fine delicate features. Do you believe I wanted to look like a man? Do you believe so many people share the same story of waking up and finding their bodies mutilated. Asked for fat sucked out of their Labia's? That I asked to have one leg carved and not the other? Read all the posts beyond your happy outcome and listen, hear, feel...be human/humane.

I have nothing more to say to you. I may as well talk to a dead bolt. Can't get in there?

i would like to add if i had fat placed only where i had markings on my face...perhaps it would only be half as bad as it is.
also hanna, you blame yourself for the first doctor's screw up, you idolize coleman, and you refuse to post your beautiful outcome. you should have sued and used the money for therapy.

Patient, I agree, how could we possibly be suspect?...when few lines were drawn on our faces as you mentioned. Yet...Hanna was there and saw it all. "Coleman let's you know step by step what he is going to do. Right?" Is she on the same planet?

"Yep. I am gonna mutilate you. Remove a bit of fat from your Labia, hope ya don't mind? The guys are gonna love that. Ya think? Gonna gouge out a bit of fat from your ankle area and above the knee. Just on the left leg. I think it'll look pretty cool...don't you? OH! Wait till ya hear this. I thought to take a test run on your belly and make a six pack look. Never done it before, but sure would like to try and see how it looks? Not to worry, I'm gonna do it anyways...Hee! Hee! Hee! KNOCK HER OUT! For a good seven or eight hours. This ### is tryin to tell me how to do my job, think I'll ### her up some. Hey, whose buyin lunch?"

Does this board not read..."COMPLAINTS ON DR. SYDNEY COLEMAN?" Perhaps she should go on a "Happy Coleman Patients Board" instead...where people can relate to her line of thinking. I need to re-group. Focus on not getting sucked into this any more. And remind me all..."PLEASE!"

Also A Patient, I have always been...and still am...a person to share in another's happiness. And I have always spoken up and still do...when another's lack of sensitivity...causes cruelty towards others. I respond, not so much to my own personal feelings, because it does not hurt to such a degree any longer...but I respond to behavior that I find so unacceptable under the circumstances and I feel the need to protect those who still may have a bad day...over these type comments.

There are still those hiding in the woodwork, sufffering beyond measure...the walking dead who need us here. We are here for them too...not just for those we are trying to spare from Coleman and to expose his horrible crimes. It is for all, with the exception of the cruel. They belong over with Coleman somewhere...but not here.

Yes! Attn Corey, "YOU HAVE MY ATTENTION!"

To anyone who can help? I have avoided being filmed during this ordeal, but sometimes the video panned on by and caught me here and there. Looking to make a video to place on You-Tube, labeled "Dr. Sydney Coleman Mutilations. "Needing before and after picture for those ready and any film footage." It is such a tradgedy, that I am not in any videos with my granchild, except with my head cut off...in mostly every one. No pictures of us taken together...except with my head cut off.

But when you see my shared laughter with her...and how "Hideous" I look...you will better understand how extensive the trauma is and how many aspects of my life it has affected. Why must I not share in the joy of videos? for remembering wonderful memeories shared with this light of my life?

Seeking someone with the skills to help us put it together. Ideas shared are welcome. Perhaps each individual story documented. Anyone have some footage of Coleman? Anyone live near his office? It would be great to capture the front of his building...especially a nice close up of his walking along the street to get a good look at what he looks like. Some of the literature he sent us home with on it too. Wanted; Creative Artist, Computer Genius, Videos Techie, Willing Coleman Victims!"

On the You-Tube video?... you need not be a Coleman victim to help. Any takers out there wanting to do a good service for humanity? or can not tolerate such an injustice? We are receptive to any offerings of help. Be it, hooking us up with talented friends... or ideas? Distributing posters of our before and afters, all over New York... especially in his hood if it is legal? Media, Television? You have it, we will gladly take it. Taking Coleman down, is going to have a domino effect in the whole surgical community. Time to stop the insanity, be pro-active!

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. 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.

PATIENT TESTIMONIALS

"Well, it's been 9 weeks since my procedure. I definitely notice a difference, and for the first time today, one of my friends told me I look really good! I did not expect perfection, because I was so bad, but I look much better and consequently I feel so much beter about myself!I lived with that horribly sunken-in look for 2 years. I did my research about correcting the situation. I even went so far as to travel to LA and Virginia to consult with renowed plastic surgeons, but i kept coming back to the pictures I'd seen and the articles i read about Dr. Coleman's patients, but then you probably know all this.

It was a lot to go thru, esp. being in NY by myself, and as you know, I almost chickened out, not once but twice. I'm really glad I didn't. I think most of the swelling has gone down, though I'm still puffy when i wake up, but that subsides quickly enough.

Thank you for all your help and encouragement. You told me I would definitely look better, and I do. Dr. Coleman used his "Magic Wand!" Please pass this along to Dr. Coleman and to Donna, and you can add it to your testimonials if you'd like. I read those when I came back, which helped me going thru the period of my "scary monster look!"

Thanks again!"

PATIENT TESTIMONIALS
"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."

- Nancy H., New York

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

"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."

- Sandy, New York

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

"Thank you for your professionalism, your sensitivity and above all, your expertise delivery of results. In 2000 I came to you with severe acne scars; you sat down with me, carefully explained your recommendations and walked through the procedure. I was so happy with the outcome and have recently come back for additional surgery. Your staff is very friendly and caring, I always felt completely comfortable. I am truly grateful, thank you."

-- Christopher, Corporate Public Relations

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

“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.”

-- Sherry, New York City

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

“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.”

-- Sandra, Michigan

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

“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.”

-- Karen, Retired, New Jersey

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

“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.”

-- 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!"

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.

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.

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.

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.

“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.“

There's not two pages of happy people, its five testimonials repeated over and over gain?

Doctors love, admire and respect him? not the many that i have spoken to. UNETHICAL was their word to describe him, and i am aware of how reluctant doctors are to speak badly of another. in any event, he has been doing this for how many years?, i guess he should have t least a handful of happy people at this point, even i win at the roulette table if i play enough times...
