Just a FYI my username references the movie lalaland and not the controversial lala-gate injector. Just had to clear that up before I got loads of comments to say Hi Lala haha.
This thread is wild! I came across it accidentally after just typing consultant clinic into google and a reddit comment came up in a thread about them being fraudsters - low and behold I found the tattle forum.
I am in shock. I went to CC twice. First time was probably 7/8 years ago, and then again a few months after. I went to get lip filler on both occasions after seeing them on Instagram and being impressed at their credibility as a Dr led practice. It was the first time I would have gotten filler so I wanted to do my research and go to a reputable company... well now I think not so reputable.
When I went it was still in their 'early days' so no cannula's, just needles to inject lip filler. Ffyona was there at my first appointment and told me she was a 'fanny Dr' which made me laugh out loud as she seemed quite funny and put me at ease during the appt. There was another Dr there who was a prostate surgeon, and his brother who was 'training', who was also a Dr of some sort. The Dr who injected me was new and Fffyona was there the whole time instructing him and watching him and hovering over me. The Dr's brother was also there watching. It was quite nerve wracking having 3 people there to be honest but I trusted they knew what they were doing. Ffyona suggested my lips could take more filler, but as it was my first time having it done I was scared to have duck lips so I settled with 1ml, paid and left. I had lumpy lips for weeks. I did message Ffyona who sent me a load of medical jargon and explained this was just the filler settling. I also mentioned my lips looked exactly the same as before filler and she again redirected me to the small print I signed which says that I accepted that I may not get the desired results. She explained that some lips tend to be 'spongy' which just means they require more filler in order to achieve a good result. She offered me a £50 discount for follow up filler in 8 weeks which I accepted (stupidly). I paid another £250 I think it was and got a further 1ml. This was with another Dr, and Ffy walked in and spoke to the Dr and said another 1 ml in lips, that shouldn't take you long, you'll get that done in a few minutes and left. The Dr injecting me was an ENT Surgeon, he was quite arrogant and told me that I had an uneven top lip but that he quite liked it so he didn't correct it - he didn't even ask me! It felt so rushed. Then Ffy frantically walked in again towards the end and took payment and left. I left shortly after. As soon as I left another person was at the door ready to walk in. That put me off a little as it felt like they were just interested in taking the money and not making it a comfortable experience.
Anyway, both times were quite strange experiences and if I'm honest the second time I found Ffy to be very blunt and quite rude how she just walked in and spoke to the Dr as if I wasn't there. Needless to say I have not had filler since. I was just thinking about going back for lip filler recently but now that I have come across these threads... no chance. Can anyone recommend a Dr in London doing lip filler? CC prices have also soared since I first went, and even back then I thought damn this is pricey! £400+ is just ridiculous for 1 ml.
Gotta be thankful for the internet for stuff like this though! Saved myself £££££ and disappointment.
