I considered undergoing surgery here because the results appeared high-quality, but I couldn’t ignore concerns about how patient consent and privacy were handled. Surgery is stressful enough, and I would need full trust in the clinic’s ethical practices before proceeding. Without clear reassurances, I would remain hesitant.

I felt uneasy about trusting the clinic due to concerns about privacy and consent.
I choose cosmetic procedures after thorough research — this clinic’s results look good, but the privacy lawsuit and class action make me think twice.
I’ve seen lots of glowing reviews online, but also serious privacy concerns tied to the lead surgeon’s past.
