C. Dennis Bucko, MD (retired)

I've had Dysport before and I love it. For me, there is no downside. I'm 90 and who would know it? I just had more a week ago and I'm loving the results. I've had some bruising in the past but this time, there was very little and quickly disappeared.

Do not do breast surgery with Dr. Bucko. I did a lift with implants which turned out unevenly. The vertical scars have small bumps up and down on either side, resembling baseball stitching because staples were used. Every doctor has a revision rate, but when I spoke to Dr. Bucko about correcting this problem, he actually questioned me if I ever had issues with body dysmorphia, which I don’t. He did offer to fix the problem free of charge but not before trying to make me feel like I was in pursuit of perfection (yet the asymmetry was very obvious). He probably didn’t want a free surgery on his books, so he got what he wanted- I went to someone else for a revision.

Dr Bucko performed a breast augmentation that resulted in a deformity called a double bubble. When I showed Dr. Bucko and his nurse the results of the surgery and they had no concern what so ever with results of my surgery. I ended up getting consultations with several high profile plastic surgeons who all said the result of the surgery would be extremely difficult to correct due to the damage done. Part of the problem was that I was so thin, and there was not a lot of extra tissue to create a new pocket. It was such a horrible process, I honestly thought I was going to be stuck being deformed forever, because of the slim chance of repairing what Dr. Bucko had done. I wasn't able to wear a bikini or date,... (among other things). The worst part was that Dr. Bucko could have cared less. He was extremely demeaning and condescending and actually went on to tell me it was my fault !!!! because I was 'bleeding all over the place'. As if I could control that. Apparently he thought I did not follow the pre op instructions... but I did. Later I found out he should have requested a bleed test prior to surgery. There are so many more details but for the sake of post I'll stop here and just say that: Choosing Dr. Bucko as my surgeon was the biggest mistake of my life!!
