Find new surgeon or deal w original surgeon (who I don’t think I can trust)? Concerned about cost

Dear Liv22,
finding the right Dr. is extremely challenging especially with the number of online platforms and resources available. There a lot of great Dr's available. Make sure he/she is a board-certified plastic surgeon. Definitely check to make sure your choice specializes in the procedure you want and spend the time to read through patient testimonials. There is a number of different sites where you can check for reviews (Realself, yelp, google, etc.).You can always pick up the phone and call around also, find an office you feel comfortable with and set up a few consultations.

You did not post any photos, so I would suggest discussing your concerns with your surgeon. I'm sure your surgeon wants the best results for you.

In my opinion, you should find a new surgeon. You should be able to trust your surgeon and have a good patient/physician relationship. Your surgeon should listen to your concerns and try to address them. I would recommend visiting in-person with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!

I'm sorry to hear of the issues you've been having since your procedures. I recommend you begin by discussing your concerns with your current surgeon who is most familiar with the details of your surgery. If after your discussion you are unsure or dissatisfied you can seek a second opinion from another board certified plastic surgeon.

In the end each surgeon is responsible for the outcomes of their procedures and patients are responsible for the plastic surgeon they choose.
Without before and after pictures we can’t make much of an assessment.
It sounds like your options are basically follow up with your provider or seek proper second opinion consultation.
For a second opinion consultations patient should come prepared with proper before and after pictures and a copy of your operative report. These are part of your medical records that you’re entitled to if you contact your current provider and ask them to forward your pictures and operative report they will do so.
Your original surgeons work speaks for itself.
We cannot help you make decisions of which provider you should choose.
Best,
