Bad Plastic Surgery: Finding a Good Reconstructive Surgeon?

I had cheek implants placed over a year ago and had major complications. I went to many, many of the so called best doctors in northern California and found them completely unwilling to get involved or to help. I had a diagnosis of nerve injury that I think scared them off but I have since found out that the surgeon sliced through the muscles of my face to place the implant above my facial muscles and above the left orbital rim of my eye. He also unknowingly sliced through the obicularis muscle causing spasm and pain in the left side of my face when I moved. I had the implants removed a month after placement but I have serious nerve (both VII and V) and muscle damage and excruciating pain. This has been an absolute nightmare and I have lost all trust in doctors in general. Thankfully, there have been a few amazing, compassionate, Miracle worker doctors out there to make up for all the bad apples but the damage that this monster facial plastic surgeon did to me is so severe that I do not know where to turn to next. Are there doctors that specialize in fixing the messes that other doctors make? Not little messes but severe errors? I am in constant horrific pain. At this point it is not a cosmetic issue. My mouth and cheek muscles are no longer attached to the bone. I just want my face to work again. My mouth is a twisted painful mess. I need help. Any info you could provide would be most appreciated. Thanks so very much.
