Melinda Farena aka Beauty broker sucked me up into her con game. I am a busy single mother entrepreneur who simple needed guidance to get the best plastic surgeon around to help my eye area and sagging face and droopy neck.Mind you I am attractive and was just in need of a spruce up and could have waited a couple of years, but I thought that now would be a good time to nip the sag in the bud,. My girlfriends and mom all discouraged me me but after meeting Melinda in NY at a woman's fundraiser, she convinced me otherwise. "Go for it", " I know allthe best doctors because I am bicoastal", and the best "Why do you think I look the way I look- its cuz I go to the most artistic best surgeons in the world" and other self-serving snake-oil lies were her words to con me into signing up.

I flew to LA to meet her docs because I was doing business there. She had me meet 43 docs only and when I asked about others I just heard about in the press she hated on them big time. I met with Dr Ben Talei and Mani who convinced me I was a great candidate for a facelift, bleparoplastys and lip lift by dr talie. I chose Dr Talei and Melinda said it was the best decision over Dr Mani-Stupid me. It was the worst decision in my life and left me with horrible scars and disfigurements. He was nice enough in a sleazy car salesman kind of was and did a facelift, neckift, eye lifts and lip lifts, all in one setting.

I got necroses around my ear which gave me a keloid. No cortisone injections have helped it after 4 times.My face is obviously pulled too tight on my left side giving me weird looking fabric pleats over my cheek and neck.to add Insult to injury, the lip lift was crooked with wide scars that were thick, distorting my nose as well. I asked Melinda for a solution, but she just said there is no alternative and welcomed me to go elsewhere. Dr Talei could not have cared less about his disaster. I have now found out she has stolen money from many other unsuspecting patients in NYC and relies on them being naive so she can bamboozle them out of their hard earned money. Woman to women, beware!!

I paid for a consultation with her and she never got in touch with me after 3-4 emails from me. She never provided the service as described, instead it was all useless rambling. She never emailed me a list of plastic surgeons for my procedure and the couple of surgeons who's names she did mention, were in Texas and Florida. I live an hour outside of Los Angeles and I thought it was odd that she couldn't recomend anyone near me. I ended up finding a wondrful surgeon in Los Angeles on my own and when he posted my before and afters on his instagram, she commented as if she were associated with him and had recommended me to him. I specifically asked about him and another Los Angeles based surgeon during our useless chat and she said she knew nothing about him. I found the whole thing odd to say the least. Then today, she posted a bunch of really negative stuff about Consultant Clinic. She has exhausted her arguments and has completly proven to be fake news. She has resorted to ad hominem attacks on her object of jealous desire, Ffyona McKeating. She has even gone as far as resorting to the defamation of, desparaging of and the degrading of a United States decorated, multi tour, doulble board certified military surgeon, Dr. Kevin Kalwerisky. Let me remind you this woman is not even a doctor. Instead she is a Madame that gets paid by pimping out willing surgeons .

I turned to Melinda because of good reviews about her activities. I thought it would be better to find a plastic surgeon with the help of an experienced person, how I was wrong. The plastic surgeon, to whom Melinda led me, turned out to be unqualified and disfigured my face, I had an allergic reaction to injections. As it turned out they did not take all the tests, this is slovenliness or inexperience ... I do not know. But they mutilated my face !!! As it turned out, Melinda takes money from the surgeons for bringing patients to them! What can be the objectivity in the surgeon's recommendation ??? Those who do not pay it, she does not recommend and pours dirt on those who do not pay it!

I spent a lot of money and time in my native England to fix what I did in the US.
