Realself
Reviews and Complaints
CENSORED
Realself.com is a fraud. Realself make the bulk of their money on advertisement for doctors. Majority of positive reviews are fake. Do not trust.
This is very true of all the negative stuff written about Realself.com. It is a place for doctors to market themselves. I been investigating realself.com since I read what other people are saying that they delete reviews. They may let some stay, but it will eventually be deleted, so there will not be too many negative reviews to scare of potiental customers for their doctors on that site. I believe some of the reviews are put there by the doctors themselves to promote their business It is a shame that too many doctors without the proper skill and fellowship/residency training (requires 7 or more years for plastic surgeons and none for regular doctors that are eye doctors, skin doctors, dentists to do.).
Some of these doctor are just very greedy . Many don't have the skills and the law allow them to do it and it is hard to take them to court. People just not aware of these things. It is not that easy. Also, this is the reason why doctors never give you the consent form to take home to review. They make you sign it on surgery day, so you rush through and sign. Many of the consent form are worded in legal jardons that only Lawyers/attorneys can understand. A higher percentage of doctors will make you agree to arbitration if you have any issues with them. And the doctors clearly state that they get to pick the arbitration person or company . So you get the point, they are in a win/win situation and they make the rules for you to follow. The worst of the worst doctors will even go as far as denying they ever done any botched surgery ever in their life. The ones that spent money in heavy advertisement is the ones that you should really worry about the most. Also the doctors with lack of skill, talent , and good grades from medical school will never let yo know they graduated from medical school last. They will not let you know they don't give a *** about you , but just your money. There are ones that have a need to create a fake image of themselves by paying for PRs to doing fake positive reviews using alias facebook, twitters, Myspace, and any other social media accounts to boost their rating and popularity. If they are so popular then why some of these doctors do Groupon deals at such a ridulous low price for comestic procedures. I can only quess it is either to use their patinets as guinea pig to practice on or to lure new customers to their office only to offer other more expensive services (procedures that they don't even know how to do and is still practicing). Some doctors claim they have training????? Who or where they got their training from? They won't say, but they will tell you they got training and some even post fancy looking certificates that is only a day to at most sevetal days of watch a video tape or attending a similar to do plastic surgery. Most patients don't even try to check out their certificates on the institutions that issued them out. Some doctors are trained by RNs on how to do skin resurfacing procedures. Some of these RNs are bimbos that gone to community colleges or vocational schools to get their diplomas . Some of these students are diploma mills.
Just to be safe, do not use any doctors that have any negative postings. If you can, get real recommendation from someone you know & not the fake testimonials (fictious patients of the doctor) on the internet. You don't know any of these people. Even if they are real people and gave their testimonals on youtube videos, there is no way that you can be sure that they didn't get any kick back money or anything from giving their testimonials.
Doctors are not god. They do error. There are some very bad doctors out there. They want to make money and they abandoned their medical field and jumped into the lucrative field of comestic/plastic surgery and get away with ruining your life. Your face and your body will never be the same. The law protects them unless you die on the operating table than maybe the law will help you a little. Even a patient died on their surgery table still have to proof that the doctor did no wrong. Some times they hire a very good lawyer that can twist the facts and made the patient a victim again in court. Do you want that kind of headache??????
Preferred solution: Realself should be closed for business.

Realself - Website Review from Huyton Quarry, England
Real self is a good site to warn peopel about Bad plastic surgeons! And they show photos of the bad cosmetic work carried out by NHS and private surgeons in the Uk. It warns others about them.
Other Product Review
Scam "Forums" Pretending they Help people
I posted a review contrary to one of the products mentioned on realself.com and they blocked and took down my account. I guess I insulted one of their paid brands.
Which is a total scam because it is under the forum section where they say the rules are just to share your experience. Absolutely ridiculous. Will report them all over the internet.
Soemoene said on the forum that they liked a brand and I said i didint....
Literally that is the only thing I said and then I found out they removed me.
Reminds me of soviet russia. Shocked to find a forum is a gateway to support sponsors.

Do they get commission of some sort?!
I had the same thing happen to me. Now i am removed from the site.
My eyes got botched by a so called top Dr RS promoted. Then I posted a bad review it was removed.
I made some comments they didn't like and I was removed all together. After searching other sites I found thus Dr had a bunch of bad reviews but it was too late for my eyes.
RS is a big marketing scam for the doctors. They pay big money to RS to promote them to their users.
It's supposed to be a place where we can go to discuss REAL plastic surgery stories, but unfortunately that's not the truth.
