How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Bulge in right cheek to be untethered
3 years out from facelift performed by Robert Guyette, M.D.
Dr. Guyette did refund the rhytidectomy portion of my plastic surgery bill after I sent him an informative letter showcasing the problems and debilitating pain I have had since the facelift in October 2012.
My left parotid gland suffered damage from the poorly performed facelift as recently shown on CT and is now fatty and shrunken as explained to me by an ENT surgeon.
The MRI of my facial nerves was negative.
I consulted with a neurosurgeon at The Mayo Clinic and the possibility of a neuromodulator was discussed. This would be implanted with the battery pack under my clavicle and several leads branching out on the left side of my face where the pain is excruciating.
I am having re-exploration surgery by Dr. Lamperti (Seattle) in September 2015 to the left side of my face with removal of permanent sutures from the SMAS, along with untethering of scar tissue (he thinks) on the right side where the bulge is.
Asking for good karmic vibes and/or prayers for this to be resolved.

Robert Guyette, M.D. - Rhytidectomy Review - Poor surgical outcome with continuing pain
7/27/15
I had a nerve block to my auriculotemporal nerve which unfortunatlely has not helped the pain
on the left side of my face and ear. My peripheral nerve surgeon believes this to be referred pain. I am having an MRI tomorrow of my facial nerves. Hopefully, this will shed some light. I am now being seen by physicians at The Mayo Clinic - Phoenix and had a consult with a neurosurgeon at Barrow Neurologic for a permanent electrical implant under the skin for pain control.
