I had a terrible experience! I scheduled a consultation with Dr. Eric Joseph after reading the excellent reviews online. Had a sunken look under my eyes and looked tired. Was considering having bleph surgery and wanted to consult. With in 5 minutes of meeting with the doctor, he "had the solution for me and it was non invasive." He explained that he could do small injections of the silicon 1000 in the sunken areas to fill them in and I would be pleased. I agreed to doing so and was heavily bruised for 3 weeks. There were 2 puffy bumps under each eye, but the right much more prominant. I called concerned and he told me to ice it. I did so. Went back weeks later still concerned about the puffy bumps that people have now commented on. He acted as though he really didn't notice them, but to make me happy would try to inject a steroid to deflate it. Another 2 weeks of bruising, and minimal change. Needless to say I went to a few experts who stated silicon 1000 should never have been injected in eye area, to thin of skin and that the area would eventually yellow and the silicon bumps may even drop in my face. Silicon 1000 is permanent. Do not allow Dr. Eric Joseph to inject this under your eyes due to the chance what happened to me could happen to you. I've been dealing with this for over a year at this point and am very unhappy.

Kcook, it has been a couple of months since you posted. I would love to hear how you are doing and what has become of your situation.
I find it interesting and a bit surprising that any "patient" of Dr. Joseph would get so aggressive and irrate with honest feedback based upon a terrible experience they had. With that being said, the complaints were not simply about swelling as you states, but about the permanent bruising he created, the permanent white puffy patch of collected silicon that never dispersed propertly and fact that throughut the process Dr Joseph tried to pretend as though it looked fine, it was healing, it didn't look much different, he didn't see what I saw, etc. 6 months after the procedure, family and friends were asking me what happened. Anyway, I do not feel as though a doctor's office should be having their web designer, friends, family and front desk replying to unhappy patients. Thank you though.
Rogetsaz, this person is sharing their thoughts on the procedure and experience. It is up to them to decide what they feel fair rankings are, as we want to hear all sides of an experience.
Stating that what a person has shared is "ridiculous" is not acceptable under our community guidelines. If you have further questions on this you are welcome to send me a private message, or you can contact our Support Center.
I will send you a private message so we can continue this conversation offline, as another member's review is not the proper place to have it. Please be respectful of this member's review.
