What to do if doctor is ignoring post op questions and records requests?

August 3, 2022
Asked By:lulufrank

I had a platysmaplasty after overdone lipo left bands (no new lipo, no skin removed in revision) 3 months ago, but since it is <6 months I can't post a question to RealSelf. I have been having severe unevenness and Adam's apple like protrusion in the front of the neck. I've emailed my doctor with questions several times, which he has ignored, and have requested my medical records which his office has also ignored for months. What can I do to get him to respond? Top "celebrity" doc, extremely $
