Not a Very Good Result, Unfortunatley...- Stuart, FL

I had a lift done with Dr. Robert Cooper, I had issues from the beginning, I was in constant discomfort, I had dents, and lots of bumps down one side of my cheek, toward my ear, into my neck, I complained to him that it looked bad and felt bad. During this time, no one not one person said it looked good, everyone said I should have never touched my face to begin with. This made me sad, but worse was the constant discomfort on one side of my face.

What I have learned about this experience, is that there ARE good docs out there willing to help me. Out of 4 revision consults 3 are willing to redo it one is a little leary I guess because he said "he had no idea what Cooper did in there" referring to bumps all under one side of my face into neck......I am deciding now on who and when to do this surgery beause as much as I know I need to do it, it's almost like I have post traumatic stress disorder from this entire experience.......

Great review?

The doctor was nice before the surgery, but afterward, he dismissed me as a patient and didn't want to take responsibility for the problems I was left with. I went to other docs, but they said I should see Cooper, then once again, I complained to him about my concerns, issues, discomfort and how I really didnt like the way it looked, he DISMISSES ME as a patient. that's what he told me. So now after a few years I have decided to redo the entire thing, the docs now agree that there is a problem and we need to address it. I am trying to find someone competent that can fix the problem that Cooper left me with.

you're very welcome.......and if you thought the attitude was bad when you met him??? Imagine what it would be like afterwards........especially if there is a problem....

You saved me from getting a consult with Cooper - met him once and was not impressed by the attitude. Thank you.

Oh dear ! Sadly poor results are becoming increasingly common these days,and it is soul destroying. I wish you well in finding a doctor who delivers.!
