Mladen Dudukovic, MD

I visited Dr. Dudukovic for a minor cosmetic concern: slight under-eye bags. I explicitly requested a conservative approach aimed at subtle flattening. Dr. Dudukovic appeared to be a suitable choice based on his public reputation, stated experience in facial aesthetics, and confident communication. Unfortunately, my experience with the doctor was bad. The procedure performed resulted in significant removal of under-eye tissue, which led to both aesthetic and functional problems. After the procedure, I consulted two oculoplastic surgeons. Both reviewed my case and confirmed that the surgical method used was not appropriate for the condition I presented. They were unable to explain why this specific approach was chosen, given the minor nature of the original issue. This has raised serious questions for me about the clinical decision-making behind the procedure and the suitability of the chosen method. While Dr. Dudukovic may have expertise in certain areas, based on the outcome and second opinions I received, I personally would not consider this experience reflective of a specialist in facial aesthetics. I am sharing this in the hope it helps others make more informed decisions when selecting a surgeon.
