Something went wrong with my facelift and my jowls dropped completely 5 months later

March 14, 2014
Asked By:bellDonna in West Texas, TX

my surgeon agrees it's not right and will redo, but he wanted to charge me 1800.00 for $1,000.00 for sutures and materials for surgery and then another $800.00 for anesthesia, I got them to waive the $800.00, but is it right for them to charge for sutures and materials needed for surgery? This surgeon is very reputable and I am happy that he agrees after $15,000.00 that something went wrong, but should i even have to pay anything??
