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.
Answer: Board-certified Plastic Surgeon I am sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction, as that is something no physician would desire to hear. It really is important, however, to go to a surgeon who is truly Board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (or for facial cosmetic surgery, the American Board of Otolaryngology with training in Facial Plastic Surgery). Any licensed U.S. physician can call themselves a cosmetic surgeon, but it pays to research your surgeon's credentials even before going in for consultation. I hope your issues can be easily resolved. Good luck to you.

Answer: Facelift by ophthalmologist If you would like the best advice from the real self community, some pre/post op photos would be helpful. Unfortunately, it is difficult for the consumer to determine who is a highly qualified surgeon and who isn't.Best to find a board certified PS to help you from this point. Good luck

Answer: A solution.. Some advices: Thanks for sharing your concerns with us.I'm so sorry that you had that horrible experience. I usually tell my patients that the first step for a safe plastic surgery is to choose a board certified aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgeon.This should have a personal website containing details of his professional biography and some photos of the procedures performed.Your plastic surgeon should be transparent and a honest person with you, with ethical and human values, and especially with good reputation and history. Also, it's much better if this doctor have special training and experience in procedures like the one you're interested.Finally, i invite you to send your photos to give you more information of interest for you.Kind regards, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Answer: Unhappy with Results I am very sorry that you have reached an impasse with your Surgeon. I agree with other posters that it is time to seek other opinions. I strongly disagree that seeing a General Plastic Surgeon is your only recourse. There are many excellent Facial Plastic Surgeons in the Miami area who could also be of help to you. Despite our strong competitive desire to have 100% satisfaction with our patients, it has never happened in any Surgeon's career. Claiming superiority for one's specialty has been defeated in virtually every court challenge, in the situation of the FTC as mentioned by Dr. Kraft, and by most state Medical boards. The reason for this is that Plastic Surgery in the face was developed by many specialties and is integral to many specialties. Good luck in your search.
