I made an appointment with a very distinguished surgeon. The consult was horrible. He basically said I was too fat and ugly and that a surgeon is going to take advantage of me, end of consult. I'm 49 and frumpy. But that's why I'm seeking surgery. How can I be be taken seriously while I'm at ground zero. Detail: I've just ended long term adderall. It's going better than I thought it would. I also have Hashinotos. Next I address the weight with 40 lbs goal. Please advise.
Answer: Considering options I am so sorry you had such an awful experience. You are lovely and I have no idea why someone would tell you differently! When considering aesthetic treatments or plastic surgery it is important to address what bothers YOU, not what someone else says you should do. I encourage you focus on your health and think about what areas you would like addressed. Then go see a different board certified plastic surgeon. I am confident you will have a better experience. In the meantime we encourage a good skincare routine including medical grade skin care products and wearing sunscreen every day.

Answer: Many options in facial enhancement: The right doctor can guide you Thank you for your question. I am sorry for your unpleasant experience. A good surgeon should always be willing to discuss options with you and never make you feel undeserving to seek procedures that will give you the extra confidence you need. That said, you have plenty of skin rejuvenating options. Injectables such as Botox and fillers can instantly freshen up your appearance by smoothing out wrinkles and enhancing facial contours, giving your profile more definition. Laser and energy devices, on the other hand, can tighten the skin and enhance your facial features. Chemical peels can renew your skin from the inside out and give you a radiant glow. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon. Your surgeon can do a proper evaluation of your skin, determine your eligibility for any procedure, recommend the best combination of treatments, and ensure the best possible outcome.

Answer: Aging face I'm sorry you had a bad experience. An in-depth, open discussion with a surgeon regarding goals is the key. Once items are identified, an appropriate treatment plan can be devised as a team. There should be zero judgement, and again, I'm sorry you went through a really bad experience.

Answer: Don't let one surgeon define how you see yourself I'm sorry to hear about how your consult went. I think you look young for your age with full lips and few wrinkles. When surgeons do not recommend surgery, it's often because they do not think the procedures they offer will benefit your specific anatomy and concerns. That doesn't mean a different surgeon wouldn't have other procedures or devices. For example, I don't think you are a candidate for a facelift, but filler to the cheekbones, Ultherapy skin tightening under the neck, and resurfacing laser may give you the boost you are looking for. I encourage you to see another surgeon. Distinguished is good, but a surgeon who communicates well with you is an even better fit.
