For Me Fat Grafting Definately NOT Worth the 4 Grand!

Crooked, overfilled, bumpy. I was a good looking woman that wanted some fat replaced over my previously high, fine cheekbones that I had lost. My cheekbones of course were still there but some of the fat of youth was thinned.

The doctor did not do anything we had discussed. I was completely overfilled in my now dumpy, low, chipmunk cheeks. I have a ridge in front where it was overfilled and then drops off now having a nasolabial fold there for the first time. I had a smooth relatively flat stomach.

Now I have dents all over my stomach where he took fat making it look lumpy like I am covered in cellulite. In actuality, I never had cellulite there, I have always had a taut tummy, and was so proud that I gave birth to a tremendous baby and never got stretchmarks.

But now... there are pieces pulled out all over my stomach instead of inconspicuously taken out, that looks like I was attacked with an ice pick 100 times! The pen where he marked and where the needle went in left me with a blue dot tattoo on my face, where he wiped the marker off over the entry hole, but marker went into the hole and healed over.

This has ruined my life, looks, self esteem, attitude and belief in doctors and due to my complete loss of confidence...and my relationships. I cannot stand how I feel when I wake up in the morning everyday and see myself in the mirror as I find myself unrecognizable!

Please call my office to make an appointment. Maybe I can help you. Sounds like you had an untrained surgeon or non surgeon do this very delicate operation on you. Or send more info, like doctor's name, location of donor fat, your medical history, etc. But really, I might be able to improve your appearance. Best to you & good luck, Dr. Darryl J. Blinski, MIAMI

i really feel for you. i have had a bad surgery myself and know how upsetting it is. you must make your surgeon's name known so he will not ruin other people's lives and insist on the refund. he should not be allowed to get away with it.

Thank you regina98 it's years too late for the refund. I crawled into a hole after that and didn't want to show my face for years. I really hope you have had some resolution with your situation hon.

It always amazes me that Florida is over priced on procedures done elsewhere for less cost, with more experience and skill. I think $4,000 is high compared to California and other States. However, Please give this surgeons name and location. It is all we can do to protect others from the same emotional, mental, and financial hell an unskilled, over priced surgeon can bring. I hope you find correction. I too am looking for fat grafting in my upper eye lid area and so far I haven't found many in the state of Florida I would trust with that task. Good Luck.

Dr Blinski has shown before that he is not afraid to try to help fix the botched jobs of other doctors. I think this is highly commendable as many doctors do now want to touch the mistakes of others. From his other posts, I think he is very kind and you have nothing to lose by going to see him. I am sure he will be honest if he can't help you. Best of luck. Cheers
