I was and still am a really overweight person. I am bad at eating healthy and exercising. I found this beauty broker Melinda Farina and thought she will help me to find a good doctor to have best results from my liposuction. Little did I know that she didn't care about me at all. I don't get why people pay her to get her advice. All people have different opinions and your opinion can easily be different to hers.

I think they are a huge scam as you found out.

I am skeptical of such services. If I need a recommendation, advice, treatment, I always turn to professionals. Beauty brokers rarely give sensible advice. I solve all my skin issues with my cosmetologist and dermatologist. Together we choose a comprehensive care for my skin, quality skin care products and procedures. Recently, my cosmetologist recommended that I get a Filler Treatment in Woodland Hills. This treatment helps my skin look radiant, healthy and beautiful. As we age, the quality of our skin deteriorates. Therefore, you need to carefully monitor its condition and do everything possible to prolong its youthfulness.

Yeah, I get where you're coming from. I've been in a similar place, wanting help and thinking a "pro" would make it easier, but then realizing it's just another business move for them. I've learned that you really have to do your own digging when it comes to stuff like liposuction or any body-altering procedure.

What helped me was looking for actual clinics with good medical teams rather than going through middlemen. I ended up talking directly with a clinic that laid things out clearly and didn't sugarcoat anything, https://goodlife-clinic.com/ was one of the places I found helpful. Way less drama when you're dealing straight with the people who'll actually be doing the work.
