I fogot to add...
Update
My eyelids were left with wide red scars above the lash-lines and they’re still there. Since he didn’t remove enough extra skin from my eyelids, they never did look really refreshed and now it’s as if I’d never had that surgery done.
The fat that was moved higher on my cheeks made me look like a chipmunk, but then completely dissolved back to normal after about five years. I’m glad, but that also means the money spent on the most expensive procedure was a complete waste. That’s especially galling because I was happy with my cheeks in the first place and hadn’t requested any changes to them, but the doctor claimed the procedure would create "a better outcome.”
While the fat added to my upper-cheeks dissolved, the pulling on my facial muscles remained the same so the tightness that creates a weird smile, exposed gum when I smile that I’d never had before the surgery, the pulling on each side of the nose, and a raised ridge running horizontally under my nose from the pulling is all still there; it’s permanent.
The gland under my ear on one side that he had to keep draining blood from for about two to two-and-a-half weeks post surgery *which he said had never happened to him before and he couldn’t tell me why it kept filling with blood and swelling) has continued to frequently swell and ache. It suddenly swells up and I look like one of a toad on that side, and it aches, and then it goes back down and stops hurting. I don’t know what triggers it, but I’d never ever had that problem before this surgery and the injury that was done then.
If I could do it over again, I would never allow one surgeon to be a jack of all trades and do all of the procedures. I would not have multiple procedures done at the same time. I would not allow myself to be talked into anything more than what I went there for in the first place. I would not allow a surgeon to touch me who doesn’t listen carefully and answer all of my questions thoroughly, but instead acts distracted and in a hurry.
Revision on my assessment of this doctor's breast work
Provider Review
I feel there is too much up-selling and I believe the patient coordinator works on commission because of her insistence that I rush to schedule surgery, followed by her unwillingness to accept my request to cancel. Low score on staff courtesy and professionalism for that reason. The doctor’s bedside manner depended on his mood and my level of satisfaction, and he was distracted when talking to me, plus did not answer all of my questions. My experience was the commitment to patient satisfaction with outcomes is grossly exaggerated. The lack of any follow-up contact with patients is appalling, and since I know another of the doctor's patients, I know I am not the only patient never to hear from his office again once I was sent home. Sending patients home, out of state, with no clean surgical tape for the incisions nor instructions on when to change it, and no instructions on scar prevention and tissue management threatens the outcomes and it is poor medical care. Low score for zilch aftercare/follow-up. Every appointment I had before and after the initial surgery, his attention was divided between me and my pretty young companion, and on the phone he was distracted and in a hurry to get off the phone, so a low score on time spent with me too. After the surgery, I had trouble getting his office to respond to my emails. They finally responded after I expressed some anger. Low score for that, too. My once pretty smile now an embarrassing weird one and the large scar running from my chin to my throat are evidence he oversold his abilities on the face.
