A lot of the comments say to go to an ASOPRS certified opthalmologist. Even my sister in law who is a nurse recommended it. But after I had no results from an ASOPRS opthalmologist, I decided to go to a facial plastic surgeon with lots of before ad afters.

Dr. Cohen puts incisions where they don't belong. I had a "scar revision" done by Dr. Cohen on both sides of my head where I had temporal brow lift scars but did not want a brow lift. I did not have eyelid surgery done by him, which is the one good decision I made. His "technique" was supposed to grow hair through these scars and instead had used railroad track like suturing after he said he would be using a running stitch during the consult. This left me with more hair loss. He told me he would not be making any new incisions and would excise most or all the scarring. Instead, I have a brand new incision where I never had a scar on the left side of my head which resulted in an elevated brow about 3-4 mm. I still have the same scar on my left side, he didn't even excise it, not even a part of it. He just made a new one right next to it. Now I have one elevated brow on one side and have to grow the eyebrow hairs in that I used to have to tweeze. I have to now tweeze above the tail of my brow to make both sides even. He told me before surgery if my brow was to be elevated it would be elevated 1/2 mm. and would be temporary. You can see in my before pic my brows are even. When I asked him why he made this incision he said he didn't know he was going to do that until he went in and started cutting. He advised me not to clean the incisions or put ointment on them. I questioned that and he said "because I don't want the incisions to open". Isnt that what the sutures are for? You should see what leaving scabs on for 6 weeks does to a wound. They look horrible. I went to several follow up appts and stopped. Went to another surgeon for a second opinion 6 wks post-op who told me to use hydrogen peroxide and ointment to get the scabs off. I will wait 4 months and see how this looks and decide where to go from here. He also said he used to think he was a sociopath while he was operating on me. I don't know if it was meant to be a joke, but I didn't think it was funny. Thought it was creepy. I shudder when I think about it.

Really? Because the majority of the comments here would prove otherwise. A gifted surgeon is someone with an artistic eye for what the results of his cutting will create. Doctor Cohen lacks that talent.

According to him, he "used to think [he] was a sociopath" while operating on me. I think that is scary and he shouldn't go near people. He definitely gives follow up care, following up on his bad work. I have taken my own before and after pictures, and have been taking pictures as this heals. I will take it to a specialist who can tell me what he really did. I also saw another PS who advised me to clean my incisions with peroxide and that the scabs needed to come off. Dr Cohen wanted the scabs to fall off on their own. That caused poor healing. He should have told me he could not make the scars better, and that I needed hair grafting, not scar revision. He doesnt do hair grafting so why would he be ethical and recommend it when he chose to make money off of something he had no experience doing? UNETHICAL. He was supposed to do a trichophytic closure. He left me with more hair loss and bad scars (worse than before). I also have shooting pains and stinging on my head that I never had before, & experienced emotional pain and suffering, and an elevated left brow. I have documentation of his lies and contradictions. He has communicated all these inconsistencies. He tried to make me sound like I was being "obsessive". I wasn't obsessive, I was freaking out because he screwed up and I have to live with it. But since he self-disclosed he was an obsessive person and then tried to play therapist on me for getting upset and questioning what he did he turned it around on me and told me to be patient. Ill post my experience all over the place. I don't want anyone else to get butchered!
