TOPIC: Dr. Ivan Aguilar Impressions

Contacted Dr. Aguilar a couple of weeks ago. He finally sent a somewhat disjointed and unprofessional response. When I asked general questions, such as which fillers he offered, if he was okay with requests to open the fillers in front of the patient, and how much the cost would be, he became passive aggressive. He also only stated that they do 20ccs at a time only and he wouldn't do any less. When I further questioned why he was only doing 20cc at once, because other clinics were telling me they would not inject that much at once, then he became even more aggressive. He basically told me he doesn't want me to go to his clinic and I should go elsewhere. Pretty much added that I had to right to question him or his clinic. It was a pretty egotistical and unprofessional response. I was very polite about everything, and was just trying to inform myself so I can compare clinics. So yeah, just wanted everyone here to be aware of his attitude and possibly reconsider before going to him. He doesn't have to be a saint, but to pretty much act like an asshole to someone genuinely trying to make an informed decision is off-putting. I will look elsewhere. If anyone has any recommendations for practices that offer HA fillers and are experienced professionals without attitudes, then feel free to drop them here so I can check them out. Thanks!

I’ll be down there tomorrow, I’ve had the opposite experience as you, he’s answered all my questions and helped with a bunch of concerns I had even up to this past week (been emailing for 2 months). I started a log in the other area, so I guess if I have any negative I’ll post there but so far so good.

Yeah, glad you've had a better experience. I couldn't get any questions answered fully and some not at all. Just a lot of passive aggressive asshattery. I've had a much better experience interacting with PhalloFILL in Dallas. I haven't gotten my filler done yet but I'll start something to let people know how it goes.

Now one day post op, everything went great. Sucks that you had a bad experience I hope your procedure goes great no matter what doctor you pick.

That's good to hear man. What filler did they use? Also, thanks! Yeah, honestly I just wanted to be treated with respect. If I couldn't get that right out of the gate it was a no go for me. He also told me they only inject 20ml at once and wouldn't do any less. Did he tell you that as well? Not sure why that's his approach. I thought it was a bit odd to use that much to start with. Also, I have the emails just in case anyone wanted to see the interaction to know I'm not blowing smoke. Just in case it comes off that way. But yeah, I appreciate the well wishes. Good luck with your recovery and I hope you're satisfied with the final result! Lemme know how it goes. I'm always trying to see how the end result in satisfaction is for this type of thing.

I got a FFT fill, I’m not sure why he does no less than 20ml maybe that’s the quantity he buys it in? I know for the FFT he likes to over fill to compensate for the possible loss in the future.

Ahhh okay. yeah im starting with HA just because its like the easiest to fix if something goes wrong and itll be my first filler lol. maybe ill try Ellanse down the road.
