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

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!

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.
