In my personal experience and opinion: "RealSelf.com" is "Real Dangerous" and "Real Deceptive". Upton Sinclair said, "It is hard to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." Plastic surgeons depend upon plastic surgery...

Realself - Plastic pain
What a joke/scam RealSelf is. The doctor who destroyed my face has 5 star reviews on RealSelf. They removed my reviews and blocked me. Another plastic surgeon told me that this surgeon from Orange Ct is a dangerous sociopath whose license should be removed. RealSelf harbors criminals and violates client rights. Plan to sue Tom Seely CEO for big bucks anyone want to join in?

Realself - Not helpful or truly compassionate
i attempted to post a question in dermatology asking if there are any options to remove a bump that formed around my nose ring which would allow preservation of the piercing. I also noted that I had already been to a local derm to have infection ruled out. The question coordinator told me he would not post my question because the site is only for esthetic/beauty inquiries. I believe a piercing is an aesthetic choice and having an unwanted bump on a highly visible facial area is an aesthetic beauty concern. I used to think this community was there to support members through their journeys with cosmetic quests and concerns. Now, I’m more apt to believe it’s to sell plastic surgery/products and to promote paying docs. In other words, it’s just an elaborate advertisement.

Realself - They promised and not delivered
Signed up with Realself.com to increase the amount of business, at the beginning when my account was free I had tons of traffic, then they called me to be an spolight doctor , bit that has a price, since then no more calls or reviews, or patients. They tell me I have to keep paying every single month for one year, because I signed some kind of online contract. I have a lawyer involved now to stop them from withdrawing my account.

I signed up for real self a few months ago while researching a surgeon for a rhinoplasty. I ended up going through with it and am loving by results, so I made a review for my doctor with regular weekly updates. Lots of people seemed to appreciate the review,...

Completely agree with what you’ve written here. The way they run their website is bizarre. They have no right to keep material that belongs to you and block you from accessing...

As a physician and contributor to RealSelf.com I must admit to my ongoing frustration with the majority of comments made by many doctors. On several occasions I was ready to disassociate myself with that section of RealSelf.com even though I consider the website of...

They do not allow you to edit or delete your own reviews once you post them. I called to get my review deleted and they said that I had to reach out via email but that it would take 1-2 business days to delete the review. This is a very frustrating policy! This isn't...

I uploaded photos to my real self question, after posting I didn’t want the photos up anymore because I do not feel comfortable with them being posted, and I don’t know how to delete them so I need help deleting the photos on my question.

This is what you can do. Go to the question and hit edit on the pictures. You can crop them until nothing is left. I did this with a few of my questions and it worked great. I...

Yep. Agreed. I left an honest review and not only did the review not show up, not affect the rating, but I got locked out of using real self.com!
