I wanted to take about 10 years from my appearance.

Research well before allowing any Dr.to perform surgery on your face.

This review is the subjective opinion of a RealSelf member and not of RealSelf, Inc.

Helpful review?

My Doctor:

My rating:

Dr.M is not certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.Said Board certifies Drs.trained as Plastic Surgeons and was created in 1931. Dr.M is an Otolarynologist,essentially an ENT -check the FL Dept.of Health website-and is certified by a Board created in 1986 by a group of Drs.who wanted to cross over into the more lucrative field-especially here in FL- of plastic surgery. Do not be fooled by fancy titles,so-called certifications,and self-aggrandizing advertisements.In fact,do your homework.Google Dr.M/complaints and read everything. After a # of surgeries by Dr.M,all at my expense,I had corrective-Dr.M left me w/banding,pixie ear,lack of symmetry etc.-by Dr.Stanley Gulin and I am quite pleased w/the results.

Hi, just wondering... where did you have this procedure done? I mean what company or was this Dr. part of a private practice? Best, Chrystal

I am sorry if you are not unhappy with your results. However, there is a major problem I have with this review. This review sounds like it was posted by or stimulated by one of Dr. Maloney's General Plastic Surgery (General Plastic Surgeons receive a large part of their training in abdominal, breast, body, and hand surgery) competitors in Naples who has been following this line of criticism for years. Dr. Maloney is a very well respected Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon. Although an individual can criticize their results, the credentials of a Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon are impeccable.
