My experience with Melinda Anna Farina was a physicql and emotional disaster to say the least.I should have done my homework on this self annointed "BEAUTY BROKER", who I paid a wasted sum of money to do homework for me! I thought that I was going to be steered to the bestplastic surgeons, but I later came to find out she was and still is running a scam.

I came to her as a refferal from a dermatologist because I wanted the best plastic surgeon for my rhinoplasty and neckand facelift (was he getting kickbacks? I don`t know). She was pleasent enough and overly enthusiastic, but I should have suspicious because when I asked about other well respected plastic surgeons she completely torched anyone who wasn`t on her list. I actually knew one of the surgeons on a social basis and asked him about melinda. He said she was known over NewYork and moved to LA because she had such a bad reputation and lawsuits over her fraudulent business practices. I attributed his response to jealousy and to be frank, I didnt want to go to him because we were close friends and felt that it would interefere with that.

So I listened to the butcher broker`s advice and went first to dr ghavami and then marc Mani. Ghavami was pompous and seemed confident which turned me off and Mani was sincere and serious. I decided to Go with Mani because I also heard that  Gavami`s work was only average and sometimes bad.

I ended up having my lower face refreshed and a neck lift with Dr Mani at the beginning of the year. The results were not good. I came out of surgery with a nerve injury which made me look like I had a stroke on my left side. To be fair Dr Mani was concerned  but he couldn`t do anything except tell ne to wait and let it get better on its own. After 6 months  most of my drooling mouth has gotten better but I`m afraid I`ll never be back to normal. Also the loose skin under my chin  is still there and I have fake pulled looking folds around my jawline especially when I tilt my head down which Mani and Melinda says will get better.

The embarrssing thing is that my plastic surgeon friend doesn`t comment but did confirm to me that those folds will be there forver unless I get it fixed. He also wasn`t too optimistic about mt nerve injury. I asked Melinda for my money back since that`s the lest she could do but she ignored my calls. i guess she got what she needed and that was a quick buck at my expense. Judging by her past instagram page  ( and she doesn`t look anything like what she does in person because of all the fake photoshopping- another warning!!) , it seems she is mainly interested in the bling lifestyle and shows off her jewelry and clothes like the cheap scamming Kardashian she wants to be.

Fake Report: Read Below for Facts

AUTHOR: Nicholas - (United States)

POSTED: Sunday, December 03, 2017

  An individual with screename BART72 filed a fraudulent claim about me and my company/ client yesterday 10/19/17 at 8:37 am. I know this is a fake report based on a few important things that the individual noted - the surgeon noted Dr. Marc Mani- who has been a surgeon I have been working with for only 5 MONTHS ( the person said their surgery was 6 months ago then they stated it was in the "beginning of the year" - how does one make a 5-6 month discrepancy when stating "facts") and Anyone/ patient I have worked collaboratively with him on has been scheduled for surgery in December 2017 / January 2018- so I have yet to have one of my own clients receive surgery from Dr. Mani (who has an excellent reputation and is extremely well respected in the industry) -

we vet surgeons by following their cases for more than two years and we always seek consistencies with results. Dr. Mani is wonderful and extremely ethical in his practices. As am I. I truly do not appreciate someone maliciously posting false statements, perhaps it's a jealous surgeon, perhaps it is another consultant or simply someone who holds some jealousy against me. We can never be sure of these things but I wanted to make sure that the folks reading this nonsense - KNOW that it is indeed false. The person, if it was an actual real situation should have left their info for other patients to reach out if it is indeed true - and offer up some of these hard copy "emails" they claim exist. This was a sloppy attempt of defamation and poorly executed. Thank You. Melinda Farina, Beauty Broker, Melinda Anna.

#2 UPDATE Employee ..inside information

This Claim is Completely Ridiculous and FAKE

AUTHOR: AestheticAccount Manager - (USA)

POSTED: Thursday, October 26, 2017

 Whoever the person is that created this dumb claim on Melinda Farina and Beauty Brokers Inc. is obviously not very smart and knows nothing about our company or my boss. I oversee all of the LA accounts and Dr. Mani is one of the highest regarded board certified surgeons in Beverly Hills. Aside from that we have been working with Marc for a very short stint of time so none of our clients have completed surgery with him yet. Surgeries are all booked for December through February as we currently stand. This was for sure created by one of 5 people within the industry that have it out for Melinda and are unprofessional, jealous and have previous failed attempts of slander on not just us but many other surgeons as well. We believe the author of this claim is the wife of a surgeon in Las Vegas who has a personal vendetta against both Melinda and Dr. Mani. I have worked for this company for 5 years now and my boss is wonderful and the services that we offer are exceptional and of the utmost quality. When we originally received notification of the claim we sent it directly to our attorneys who will be running an investigation on the suspect of this fraudulent slander. Once we discover the exact person we will be posting an update and pursuing a lawsuit for slander and defamation of character.

#1 REBUTTAL Owner of company

This is Fraudulent report

AUTHOR: NF515 - (USA)

POSTED: Friday, October 20, 2017

 According to the said person above she claims that she had her surgery with Dr. Mani 6 months ago? I only started working with Marc 5 months ago and none of my patients that have seen him in consultation have completed their surgery with him as of yet. They are all booked for December and January. Not sure who is behind this report but it must be someone looking to tarnish my reputation - which is sad. You have to feel sorry for people that go to these drastic measures. They have nothing else better to do with their lives. That person should disclose their personal information and show proof of these "emails" (which don't exist- since in fact, there is none.) I have never had an issue with any of my patients in my 16 years of practice to date.
