What can I do? My surgeon refused to continue my follow up recovery treatment

August 29, 2015
Asked By:Letdownele in Coral Gables, FL

My surgeon told me to find another Dr. He got upset at me because I told him that the outcome of his work is unacceptable, the lack of symmetry is outstanding, specially in the eyes and cheeks, plus multiple other issues., He does not want to take responsibility for his work and sells himself as a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, and he is only an eye ophthalmologist trying to be a Part time Cosmetic Surgeon. I a patient I have my rights. Thanks so much.
