My rating:

With over ten years invested in researching and assessing plastic surgeons, surgical/aesthetic procedures and patient care philosophy across the US that culminated in over $100k in facial and body work, I consider myself uniquely knowledgeable with regards to the range of practitioners and procedures available nationwide. I have had surgery done by: Dr. F and Dr. P (would never, ever recommend as I was forced to replace the breast augs done by both); The amazingly talented now unfortunately deceased Dr. FR (the only doctor who was ever on par with Dr.V); The- rhinoplasty- master- though sadly no longer in practice, Dr S; and, Carolina's own Dr. R (very kind and knowledgeable but also provided very minor and conservative alterations for the hefty price tag!) I have also had injectibles and dermatological work done by some of the most well known Los Angeles and San Francisco dermatologists including Dr L, Dr K and Dr, K. I am pleased to say, however, that after ten years of going to the wrong doctors, I have finally found the one doctor I am 100% satisfied with. His work is nothing less than flawless. The facial surgery I had done in the office is the best I have ever had: hands down. He was caring, thorough, kind and patient with me from initial consult through the procedure and including follow-up care. Despite having had lots of body work in the past, I was deathly afraid of starting a regular botox regimen. Seeing bad results (all over the tabloids) from (Jack Nicholson and Nicole Kidman to Sharon Stone, Heather Locklear and even Joan Rivers): made me wonder if botox always created an unnaturally devil-like result. I was so paranoid, that I insisted on watching each of his tiny injections in a small hand mirror so that I would be able to tell him to stop if I started even remotely resembling the "plastic surgery nightmares" featured on the check stand tabloids. I couldn’t have been more wrong. The botox and Radiesse Dr. V so tenderly and carefully injected made me look ten years younger. My face continued to move normally and the changes were subtle and unperceivable to even my cattiest and most "in the know" Los Angeles girlfriends. He was also kind enough to agree to perform nerve blocks in the areas of my face receiving the injectibles. Once I got over the initial pinch of the dental blocks, I felt ABSOLUTELY NO PAIN-something really important to a big chicken like me!! I would never go to another doctor for injectibles . Despite my recent move to Washington State, I still travel to Los Angeles, regularly, to have botox and filler put in. My relationship with Dr.V. has withstood the test of time. He has been my physician and care partner for ten years. When I think back to the procedures and money performed by others, I recall being led astray by slick p.r professionals and advertisements. I also think about the tens of thousands of dollars I could have saved in revisionary work, pain, anguish and recovery time. I am so happy to have found Dr.V after years of searching. You can learn from my story and save yourself the time, grief and money spent on unknown promoters.

Hi Seattle,

Thanks for the review, but before I add you to the Botox community page could you please provide a bit more information about your experience to fully aid our community.

Did you experience pain and downtime, do you have a few more details about the overall procedure? What made you decide to go through with this procedure, how long had you been thinking about it?

Thanks so much,

-Britt
