RealSelfReviews 102

I was a Realfriend and loved RS when I first started out. Quickly it became obvious that we are censored, not allowed to convey our true experience if it upsets another doctor who pays the site more than the doctor we are using. This is unethical. Most of the RS staff are millennial IT guys who are dismissive and half-annoyed at us who have plastic surgery and who are completely out of touch with the experience. I had the top facelift following and pulled my entire review (which took months and many invested hours) because I was told I would lose my status if I said anything to defend my doctor who was being smeared by two users with no pictures or reviews. Conversely, another top doctor, who had more ad space completely hacked a woman and left tissue death and pretty much butchered her. She was defending her doctor while normal women were commenting that she should seek a lawyer. We were told to defend her and the doctor and to outcast the woman who were bringing this up. It is all "pay to play" and if users realized that bad reviews were suppressed on higher paying doctors (some pay RS 400 a month up to thousands) they would not feel this was "real" at all. We were constantly censored and any real depth in response to other reviewers was discouraged. The staff would openly talk rudely to each other to us who did not even work for realself. Toxic environment and very fake site. We need something new that encourages meaningful journeys, open debate and real testimonies. Only then can we make informed decisions, not partially informed decisions because RealSelf has a financial motivation to appease doctors who pay more, even if the work they do is sub par.

Writing an outstanding review for Valerie Daly is such a pleasure as it is so well deserved! Anytime you're having something done to your face, the most visible and vulnerable area to be touched, it is imperative to have confidence in the person injecting you and refreshing that image you show the world... and that is Val. She is warm, kind, gentle, listens to what you want, suggest, takes away your worries and the result is always even better than you hoped for!

OMG what isn't there to LOVE: the procedure for Exilis Ultra is truly remarkable. This procedure is comfortable, relaxing and affordable. The best thing is IT WORKS. I was somewhat skeptic but wanted to try something besides a total face lift. My skin has tightened, glowing, less puffy and jowls are nearly gone. I love it and will return again as needed... no down time, no pain and did I say affordable... sign me up again in a year. I will return

When I first met Dr. Henderson I immediately knew she was very passionate about her work. She took the time to go over the options and tailored my surgery to what I wanted to see as the end result. I am extremely happy with my forehead lift and no longer have heavy eyelids and fatty tissue under my eyes. I look and feel rejuvenated and refreshed with out looking like I had surgery. I highly recommend her and have referred many of my friends to her.

On 3/13/17 I had a complete Face & neck lift & lower eyelid surgery done by Doctor
Prendiville of Fort Myers, Florida. Where do I begin, the doctor's bedside manner,
Responsiveness to my needs & overall professionalism... I rate as... A-Plus.
I made the right decision in choosing Dr. Prendiville for my surgeon. Doctor "P" and
Staff treated me with extreme kindness, encouragement, patience & professionalism
Throughout my entire experience. I will highly recommend him in the future. I am
So pleased with my results... Thank You Dr. "P" and all the staff... Mrs. Margaret Cacci.

Had lower facelift performed, upper eyelids and pixie eyebrows in August 2016. The following 4 days were very uncomfortable with ice packs and sleeping in an upright position in lounge chair. The care give by Dr. Ricciardelli and staff was impeccable. The office called and checked on progress several times, After a week, the bruising started to subside and after 3 weeks disappeared. My husband was very pleased with results and said I looked 10 years younger. I am 68. Highly recommend Dr Ricciardelli and staff for your cosmetic procedures.

Its 6 weeks after my tummy tuck and lipo to abdomen and flanks. Im absolutely amazed and overjoyed with the results!
Im a 48 years old woman and in 2013 I had a gastric bypass operation at St Anthonys hospital in Cheam in Surrey which resulted in a weight loss of 4.5 stones which I was really happy with but I was left with, not so much loose skin, but a fat tyre around my waist.
Im tried every diet from LighterLife to the cabbage soup diet together with going to the gym 3 times a week I just could not shift this fat around my waist.
I have, over the years, thought about surgery and have seen a couple of surgeons but never really felt happy enough to go through with the procedure.
I went to an open evening presentation by Mr Marc Pacifico last December at the Nuffield Hospital in Tunbridge Wells. Mr Pacifico is a very nice, friendly and easy to talk to plastic surgeon. After the presentation I was impressed and followed it up with a 10 minute free consultation with Mr Pacifico.
In January 2017 I had a further consultation with Mr Pacifico at his offices at Purity Bridge in Tunbridge Wells to discuss the procedure further and during which I was convinced that this surgery was right for me and so it was in fact its the best thing that I have ever done!
I booked my operation for 22nd February which hopefully would leave enough time for most of the swelling to go down as I had a holiday booked in Spain in May.
When I woke after the operation on 22nd February 2017 Mr Pacifico came to see me and told me that he had removed 3.5 kilos (the size of the average baby!) of skin and fat from the tummy tuck and 1 litre of fat from the liposuction.
Its now 6 weeks later and not only have I got a flat stomach but a flat abdomen and a great shape waist. Basically Ive got a great new body which Im over the moon with so thank you very much Mr Pacifico. My operation far exceeded my expectations!

I was contacted by realself asking me to delete my post, so i will change my review. I would not use this site to find cosmetic, plastic or any kind of doctor or surgeon. Alot of the reviews are not real, alot of reviews are removed and members are blocked. I posted a bad review showing my botched surgery and even tho my review was the most recent it came in at 25th down the list, and you had to hit the more reviews to see it. Yes the doctors review that was written 7 years ago is still the #1 top review to view and it was a 5 star. Then i was removed from using there site. Site is too censored and there is no freedom to warn other people of a doctor who cares only about the money and not his botched patients.

"I rarely write reviews, but I felt that if this could help someone else out there who was in as much pain as me it might make a difference. I had tummy tuck done last yr, and was in so much pain from the compression garment they had given me. I was told I would have to wear for 6 weeks 24/7. I was black and blue, and had to find something else. I was fortunate enough to find Bonito & Co., and I cant even begin to tell you the difference it made. It truly does fit like no other garment that I have ever bought, and I was able to sleep for the first time since the surgery. Very rarely do you find a company that treats you like family, and makes you feel safe and comfortable to purchase from. I would have given anything if the doctors would have given me the option to purchase this compression garment before the surgery so I could have had it post op. I truly believe that it would made all the difference in the world. Good luck to all :): )

Dr. Karl Eisbach is a facial plastic surgeon in Albuquerque, New Mexico and I have to say his is the best. Dr. Eisbach ensures that his patients look natural and if they have just come back from a long and restful vacation. I have put my face in his hands off and on since 1992 and his beautiful work is always complimented on by my facialists and hair stylists because he leaves extremely minimal if any scar lines. His work has given me the confidence to change my life and to excel in my career and his office staff is stellar and caring. I will never allow anyone to touch my face but Dr. Karl Eisbach. He is outstanding.

A satisfied and long time patient.

I posted my review for a really bad cosmetic surgeon doctor and I noticed realself only approved what they like to hear not the real history they post the positive feedback in the top and the negative in the end that's not right and one more thing they like to answer people's questions because I answered one of the questions to someone and they sent me a message that it's not the correct answer and I sent a message to them that I think its better to not answer any questions, no problems. I think they work with the business because they selling products

Dr. Brian S. Glatt is truly an amazing doctor. I have spent most of my adult life dreaming about having breast implants. I knew one day I would finally do it. After a few referrals from my friends/patient's of Dr. Glatt, I knew he was the doctor for me. He is such a genuine, warm and understanding doctor. He truly has the best interest of his patient's in mind. If you are looking for a 5 star plastic surgeon, Dr. Glatt should be your first choice! Having 3 kids, I don't normally have the time to post reviews or take surveys, but this is one time that I felt it was necessary. If I can change one person's mind about whom they choose to be their doctor, then it was worth it. Best of luck and remember... you won't be disappointed with Dr. Glatt, he is the BEST! I have a new found love for my body and confidence in me that I never knew existed :)
