Horrible Experience; Mean Surgeon - Baton Rouge, LA

Thanks for responding, Faith. I feel like an idiot also, but how do we know who is a good surgeon?. Have you ever heard the saying "Cutting for Cash?" I didn't need any fat pad removal from under my eyes--he did it because he could charge more. So now I have dark circles and look gaunt. I can't wear bangs to hide the straight line scar on my forehead because of the chronic irritation/itching caused by the surgery. And all he could say was, "Well I don't know why your face does that?" Like it was my fault; and "maybe it'll look better when you're 80!"

Oh Faith, I just read this and am so sorry. I too, was the foolish trusting victim of a surgeon who performed an unnecessary and brutal coronal browlift w/o any consent. I didn't believe it could have happened to anybody else until I got on this board. I had one hair transplant, but still have to wear a wig for some bangs. Im looking into doctors who reverse coronal browlifts, I found one in Mass., Dr. Yarmechuck. Wondering if you have had any relief from the surgery now that its been several years for you. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Hi, Stayhopeful,. I saw a few docs who wanted to use a tissue expander which I would have to wear for 6 weeks. Unfortunately, I would look like a freak during that time. Another doc in Houston, Kent Davis, recommended a revision without the expander. During the horrible coronal browlift, the doc also removed all fat pads under my eyes. So I have deep, dark troughs under eyes. This also caused numerous visual and cosmetic impairments. I have one eyebrow lots higher than the other. That Dr Lanasa is not a good cosmetic surgeon. And he is pompous.

Dear bestadviceplz, I am so sorry for what you have been through. My heart breaks for you and anyone who goes through this. Have you done any type of revision? Blessings to you.

Stayhopeful, Thank you, and God bless you also!

Stayhopeful, I'm sorry for you too. What a nightmare for all of us. I no longer have the intense tightness that I had which lasted a very long time but I still get more headaches than I used to. I also hate the way it changed my looks. I can't believe I trusted those dishonest people. Best wishes that you find the relief and results you're looking for....

Hi bestadviceplz: I had brow lift 15 years ago and am suffering the same consequences you are. It is so hard to look in the mirror and not recognize myself.

I know Becky12. Me too. I can't tell you how helpful it's been to have people to talk to on this board. We isolate ourselves from friends and family out of embarrassment. I Have gotten to know, from this forum, several wonderful women who are going through this. They have Been my support and kept me going. So sorry for your pain. Prayers to you.

What I don’t understand is that Dr Yaremchuk uses a coronal incision to reverse the brow lift yet I’m reading the coronal caused the overlifted brows??? Confusing … if anyone has had a successful reversal pls DM me I desperately want mine reversed

I can totally relate. Can I please ask where you are going. I have to do something. I too feel like an alien with this come head and high hairline. Don't know how these surgeons live with themselves

Thanks for sharing your story with us. I look forward to the updates and want to wish you all the best in your efforts to reverse the mess your surgeon created. My surgeon told me that I would only have two stitches, one above each eyebrow. What a joke! I had many stitches and I HATE the way they look. Truly a nightmare! I feel for you...please keep us updated and good luck!
