I had plastic surgery done by Dr Richard Arabitg and he made a mess. I have gone to see various doctors in the US who do revision surgery. Not one had anything good to say about his work! Everything was negative, eg that he did a procedure that is no longer being done, scars uneven and not stitched properly, way too much tissue, etc taken out. When the doctors looked at my before and after pictures; they asked why and that I did not need this done. I told them that he did not do what he said he was going to do. Big difference in a pinch versus aggresive surgery! Also why would anyone take the time to make false complaints on a doctor like their office is saying? He is getting lots of complaints because he is not a good surgeon and women are trying to protect others by warning them. I really wish I would have known of this complaint board before and others, and asked around! I would never have let him touch me! I have seen reviews that were done by the office manager, and people who work there saying what a great doctor he is. Of course they are going to say that! PLEASE everyone, get a SECOND opinion by a another doctor. Before seeing Dr Arabitg, ask to see actual photos of patients before and after, and ask to contact these patients. That way you will be sure to be talking to an actual patient and not someone in his office. Ask EVERYONE you know and ask them to ask around to hear what others have to say about his work before you make any decision. I did afterwards and what I heard make me sick to my stomach. Plastic surgery should not be taken lightly. I have found out too late by speaking to others that much of his work has to be redone by someone else and I was surprised by how many women were unhappy with his work. I am sure he does do good work too, but I have not run into anyone yet who would recommend him. Please ladies, take your boyfriend, husband, or a male more friend with you because he will be less likely to sell you a procedure you really don't need.

I wish I had read the complaints on Dr Richard Arabitg on http://complaintsboard... and http://healthgrades.com before I had him do surgery on me.
I made the biggest mistake of my life by not doing my homework! PLEASE really research this plastic surgeon before you let him anywhere near you! FYI he really tries to push procedures on you like a salesman! I have talked to several people and have heard horror stories a little too late. Go to another surgeon for a second opinion PLEASE! I really wish I would have! It is almost impossible to fix a bad job and it is very heartbreaking when another doctor tells you that, and that not much be done. You will never be the way you were before and will be lucky if the surgery can be revised, mine can't. Plastic surgery should not be taken lightly, especially when you put your trust in a surgeon who might not be the best choice. I have cried many tears and I don't want anyone else to suffer like I have. Any good reviews had to have been written by his staff. Please ask everyone you know first if they have heard of anyone who has had surgery done by him and get at least 2 opinions - do your homework!!

I had a plastic surgery procedure done by Dr. Richard Arabitg. He did not do what he said he was going to do. The first time I looked in the mirror following the surgery was shock and dread. I felt like it was a bad dream and that person staring back at me was not me. PLEASE, PLEASE be very careful when seeing this doctor and do your research. If I had known what he was really going to do, I would never have had this done, EVER! I have gone to several surgeons to see about revision surgery and I have been told that it is very hard to fix a job that was not done correctly in the first place and a job that was done badly, and that it is very unlikely a revision can be done at all. EVERY surgeon who has seen me has said I was not ready for this yet and would NOT have done this to me. Dr Arabitg suggested I would look really good if I had this done and I had not even condsidered it until he suggested it. I am going to have to live with this for the rest of my life and it is never going to go away. He called me "baby" and "you will be beautiful baby"! He pushed me to have additional procedures done on areas of my body that were not a concern. That should have been a warning sign! He also did not educate me on possible risks that can occur from surgery. I keep asking myself why me? What did I ever do to Dr Richard Arabitg for him to do this to me, and why was I the unlucky one? All he wanted was my money and all the money in the world will not bring back everything I have lost and all the tears I have cried and emotional distress. I have lost my self confidence, self esteem, and laughter and joy for life. Everytime I look in the mirror I feel regret, sadness, pain and like a part of me has died inside. What is worse is that I was attractive before, did not need this surgery and now I am scarred for life because of greed. PLEASE don't allow yourself to be a victim like me! NO ONE deserves this pain!
