I was refered to Doctor Jeffrey LaGrasso from the Sleek MedSpa location in Boca Raton. I met with Jessica Davis at the Hollywood surgical center and then she introduced me to Dr. Jeffrey LaGrasso. After meeting with Dr. LaGrasso and hearing of his techniques and experiences in the field I decided to trust him to preform my first surgery in April of 2010. That surgery went well. I then decided to trust him and Sleek medspa with a much more invasive surgery... a breast lift and implant. Dr. LaGrasso assured my husband and myself that he was confident that he could achieve the results I wanted and that all would go well. We decided to move forward with my surgery. I went in for Surgery around November 2011. The surgery seemed to go well at first. On day three I was experiencing a lot of pain and puss around my bandages. I went to Hollywood and saw the doctor and he said I must be experiencing an allergy to the adhesive in the tape. I also noticed that my areolas were much differently shaped. Dr. LaGrasso assured me that all would be fine once I healed. After 3 months of waiting to heal I was not only left with 3/4 inch wide vertical scars on each breast, but I also still had very uneven egg shaped areolas and my right breast sat approximately 2.5 inches higher than my left. After going round and round with the staff and with Dr. LaGrasso, they decided to redo my surgery to correct the few issues that I had. I was however responsible for the fee of anesthesia again ($600) I went back in for a correction in May 2012. Dr. LaGrasso now added a secondary scar below each of my breasts (aprox. 4inches on under each). I was hopefully that all had been resolved this time... however I soon found out that it was not. As I sit here today my surgery is even more botched than before. I now have additional scars and I still have very uneven breasts. After a few moths I went back to Dr. LaGrasso and sat with Jessica and my husband. I showed them my breasts and Dr. LaGrasso agreed that the surgery still wasn’t correct. He claimed I needed an additional. I asked him to refer me to another surgeon for a second opinion of what needed to be done to correct it. He refered me to Dr. Mark Pinsky, in Palm Beach Gardens, FL - Closer to my home. I went to Dr. Pinsky, paid the $50 office visit fee and showed him my horror. Needless to say he obviously told me I need yet another surgery to correct what Dr. LaGrasso attempted to do twice. Dr. Pinsky told me a lot about the unnecessary scars that Dr. LaGrasso had created on me and he also explained what was wrong as he photoed my breasts. He then showed me how completely off both of my breasts are in a computer program, my nipples aren't centered, they are two different shapes, they should’ve been made smaller, I have major scaring and most importantly my right breast is 1.5 inches higher than my left and floats around whenever I lay down causing me a huge discomfort. Dr. Pinsky priced my corrective surgery at nearly $7000.00. After all of this I tried to reach Sleek MedSpa at least 100 times. I left messages for both Jessica Davis and Dr. Lagrasso. All which were never ever returned. After 45 days of unsuccessfully reaching someone there I finally reached Jessica by luck of her answering the phone. She proceeded to tell me that Sleek Medspa was no more and Dr. LaGrasso was no longer with them and that I should call his cell phone. I called his cell phone 2x and on the second message he called me back and told me he wasnt with Sleek because they werent paying him and that he had spoken with Dr. Pinsky regarding my breasts and he told me he would like to be present during surgery (he called it "scrub-in".) I told him that I just wanted my money back to have it fixed. He told me that I needed to reach Sleek.
Sleek Medspa may have taken my money BUT Dr. Jeffrey Raymond LaGrasso was MY surgeon. Dr. LaGrasso is a doctor and ALL doctors take a hipocratic oath to do NO HARM. Dr. LaGrasso certainly has not obided by his oath. Till this day I am still unable to get my medical records and photos for my new surgeon. My new surgeon is actually filing a grevience with the medical board about this. I have also hired a very successful marketing company to launch our website called mybadplasticsurgery.com. Please tune into the site for photos of what Dr.LaGrasso did to me and the surgerys I need to correct the mess he created so carelessly. My new surgen will also be recording my 3 hour corrective surgery and that will also be shown on the site. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN BEWARE !
