I got chin liposuction on October 14th. It's been about a month now. I need to give credit where credit is due in the fact that Dr. Sayeg is very experienced and the results are so far promising. I felt very minimal discomfort while in local anesthesia. However, his social skills need to improve heavily. For my initial consultation, I was asked a general health question from his staff and then I waited for him in one of their rooms. He came in with one of his other assistants. During my 3 min consultation, he came into the room, grabbed my chin and said I am a good candidate and I will wear the garment for 1 week and 2 weeks to sleep. He did not sit down at all to talk as to explain how the procedure will be, the risks, or anything. Luckily his assistant stayed in the room and she did her best to answer my questions. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and thought he might have back to back appointments or is in general very busy. I trusted the most recent reviews I read on google and went along with the procedure. This was my first ever cosmetic surgery and knowing I will be awake was very scary. I was nervous. During the actual procedure his nurse was the best person I could ask to be there with me. She took the time to explain what the doctor was going to do and how I will feel pain in the injection. She also held my hand and calmed me down throughout the procedure. The doctor left the room before I even got a chance to sit up. I was not able to ask him any questions. His assistant gave me minor instructions and helped me put the head piece on.
The next day I threw up 3 times. I read the instructions they gave and said to call them if I am vomiting. The receptionist was concerned as I was the first person vomiting from a chin lipo. She told me she would bring it up to the doctor and they will call me back. This obviously scared me even more. They never called me back or checked up on me the next few days. A simple call to say “Oh you should be fine” would be better than complete silence.
I had a check up 3 weeks afterwards. I was ready with a few questions and concerns as I also developed a minor rash from the garment and I have no idea what cream I can and cannot use. I am not lying. Dr. Sayeg came in, asked me to stand up, said the generic “hi, how are you?” , grabbed my chin, said I am fine and was out the door before I can even ask anything. This check up took literally 2 minutes. I was in disbelief. Luckily his assistant stayed after I voiced my concern about my rash and how tight my neck is. She provided a cream and other tips. He walked off to go to talk to his other staff at the front desk. I understand if it's his personality or maybe it's a cultural difference but at least end a quick check up with “Do you have any questions, comments or concerns?”. I wanted the bare minimum from him.
Overall, the price and results are good and I cannot complain about the staff. They do their best to pick up the slack of the doctor’s lack of customer service. These are surgeries so I would expect better care and importance with his patients as people are trusting him with their bodies. I cannot imagine getting a more intense surgery like a BBL, larger lipo area, and breast...
Read morePLEASE READ! I regret so much coming into this clinic on 2021. I’m going to start saying that the anesthesiologist and the nurses were great. They really treat me really good but my first experience with plastic surgery was horrible because of Dr. Sayeg. he confirmed to me and even the nurse told me that this was going to be an easy case. I was not overweight. I just had some fat on my arms and my stomach that I wanted to get rid of, but they told me like I said it was gonna be an easy case and that I was even going to be able to see it and I was not gonna have no roles or anything. I trusted them and I decided to go in for surgery. The day of my surgery I had liposuction 360 and also Lipo in my arms when he was marking me for going into the operation room he ask me you’re butt for when? I kind of felt bad because I felt like he was making fun of my butt, but I was honestly trying to think at the same time that he was just being professional and telling me something that I needed to fix in my body as well, and I was also just so excited to go into the operation room and knowing that my body was gonna look better that I just didn’t put too much attention to it and I just let it go but my experience after the surgery was horrible. My liposuction was uneven, and this was confirmed by another plastic surgeon from Chicago. My arms were also uneven. I had one side of my stomach flat and the other side not I went back on my last postop app and it literally lasted less than three minutes. He told me that it was actually excess of skin and that I needed a tummy tuck when it was actually fat of his uneven job. He left the office and then the nurse came in with a paper that I had to paid over a little bit more than $7000 for this Tummy Tuck when I had just spend thousand dollars on a Lipo 360 and while I was obviously still recovering from the surgery. I kept using my Faja, hoping that at least the right side of my belly was going to flatten with the months a little bit more, but it really affected me emotionally because it never did, now I didn’t just look chubby in my stomach, I just look flat on one side and a chunk of fat on the right one and it was so noticeable, I hate it. For two whole years, I’ve been feeling very insecure about my body, not mentioning the uneven job in my arms and obviously the fact of spending so much $$$$ on something that made it worse. This year like I mentioned before I went to another clinic in Chicago. Their treatment and team are great. The doctor is awesome their prices are great and like I said I didn’t need a Tummy talk. We did the lipo 360 again as well in my arms and I am one month postop and I love the results and I know it’s gonna look so much more better after the next months I honestly feel that Dr. Sayeg did an uneven job on purpose for me to go back to the clinic and get another surgery and obviously get more money. That’s the way I feel because I don’t understand how somebody with so much experience could have done a such uneven job that it was even fixed by another plastic surgeon. I am never coming back to this clinic and I don’t recommend it if I could give zero...
Read moreAwesome establishment. I love Dr. Sayeg and love the team (from the receptionist (lynette) the Office manager (Alma), lymphatic massage specialist (Arriana) even the anesthesiologist and the nurse in the recovery room. I had an extended tummy tuck December 15, 2024. I had been following this clinic nearly a year before I had my services and not once did I see or read anything that said I should expect anything less than the best. They did not disappoint. No need to fly out the country. But I do want to share some things many people who get an extended tummy tuck may not know, your healing time line is on an extended schedule. I did not return to the office in two week. I returned to the office in 4 weeks. I would tease the office staff that I am two days behind their timeline of where I should be. I can honestly say it was around 6-7 weeks before I was standing straight up. I will also add this faja is my bestfriend. I don't like to be out of it. Your first shower will not be what you think. The water will not loosen you up to the point where you believe you will be able to stand straighter. It will make you refreshed. Something about soap and water. I can only say listen and follow the recovery instructions. Eat protein based foods, drink plenty of water and walk often. Did get use to the walker if you get one. I swear the team after a week of using it, they were like why are you using the walker. They kept me accountable and I swear their direction helped so much. Use that compression board. it will help the fluid stay down as your muscle reattaches to the skin. Also I mean to say I weighed 211 prior to surgery and yesterday when I weighed myself I was 190 and I'm still swollen. I'm 7 weeks out. I absolutely love my results! I did this for me. I only wish I had done this sooner. I am living my best life. Now that I'm an empty nester, it time to focus on me. There is one downside: majority of my clothes are too big. On the Brightside: time for new clothes once the swelling is gone. Just know I started in an XL faja and I'm currently in a medium with the compression foam. If I can answer any questions to reassure you that this is the best team in Illinois to get your services, just reach out and I promise to respond. I'll try to get some before and after photos uploaded soon. Good luck and best wishes with your...
