medialized Corner Lift, Lower VY - And am MISERABLE!

I don't have nice legs, but when dr. Haworth removed it from my knees, they are two different sizes now

I noticed it the day of the surgery. not only did he botch that up but the one thing he was supposed to do was do microdermabrasion on my scar under my nose but forgot. After learling a lot about his history, I now know why some people look good and others don't. He didn't listen to a thing I told him and he performed a strange corner lift that left me scared with "whiskers". Make uip doesn't hid it but the iPhone doesn't show it well. If I can find a doctor to help me, I'll post those photos.

I totally totally feel you on the lasting impact of bad plastic surgery. It never stops disappointing and costing more money! I am still trying to improve my body after the botch job I got about 5 years ago. What do I do for bedtime relaxation ritual? ~ Read Real Self or research new procedures. Here is one thing I’ve had that has helped....Kybella...in small areas that I don’t want re-lipo’d. You could try it on your knees? It makes it swell at first though. I’ve had it on high points on abs, inner thighs, and in one hip/waist complex. It’s not cheap but at least you aren’t getting put under and cut again. And you can watch! And you can say “wait, stop!” if you need to. Hell, if you find an experienced practitioner and you see and know how your body responds maybe you can even do tiny injections under lip. Both practitioners I’ve used have been very capable and careful and visual female nurse practitioners. They were very careful in drawing the areas to be treated, discussing depth of affected areas, and very careful in administering the dosages. Less is more! Sometimes the doctors are like gamblers, recklessly going all in on aesthetic risks to our bodies and our faces. We only see how reckless they were in hindsight. This also happened to me in 2015. Now I choose very careful doctors who deliberate and plan extensively. The two that I’ve had in the past few years have been wonderful. One retired sadly.
I’m also researching tattoo camouflage scar treatment by (can’t remember her name suddenly)
That might be an option for you w the scars.
Hopefully things improve for you!!! Here’s to supporting each other in our loooong recoveries as we search out our options <3

thanks for your support. He wipes out my bank account. I don't know if I can afford to ever get fixed. I just found out I may need another neck surgery and a finger surgery. it's never ending. No matter how much research you do... I don't know if you arre aware of what he is being sued for, it is unfathomable. I do wish I could find a good NY doctor. If I do get this fixed, I really want to be at home. There has to be someone in NY.

I had a terrible result from a corner lip lift. They look like creases on the side of my mouth!!

Omg I am so sorry this happened to you!!! I was considering seeing this doctor to fix a lip lift and I am so thankful I came across your review. I had a botched lip lift so I understand how painful it is when surgery doesn't go as planned. Wish I could give you a big hug.

All affected and/or interested parties need to read Dr. Haworth’s synopsis of this entire matter, which is thoroughly outlined on his web page.
I, for one, intend to engage Dr. Haworth for all of the head and neck work that I want done. His work is the most beautiful, precise, elegant that I have ever seen.
Whoever is responsible for this slash and trash work that was inflicted on this very talented individual should be held responsible to the fullest extent possible.
Respectfully submitted,

here is what my lover vy looked like

afixerup
it looked so bad. I asked him if putting fat into my "LIP" would help roll it over. Instead, the fat went into the lower part of my lip and above my top lip. I specifically told him, i hated the way the vy felt, and what did he do, he filled it up even more

I also will show some photos but my nose was changed as well. I wish I never went to him.

It’s been a couple of years and Things just get worse

afixerup
I may have mentioned he injected fat, unfortunately, it filled the area above my lip and below my bottom lip but nothing in the lip. Talking is so uncomfortable because the area above my lip feels frozen from the surgery and is complicated my his fat injection. The bottom is equally tight and lumpy. I am also left with deep scars on the corners of my mouth. And after all this, hr left my bottom lip lopsided and have to get injections very carefully to even out my lip. I would love to get rid of the corner scars, but I don’t have the money and there is no guarantee laser will work. So after spending thousands of dollars, his work is the “gift” that just keeps on sucking my wallet dry. I urge you to please, do your research and please find a competent surgeon. I never understood why people wrote ongoing complaints, or kept to themselves, but every time I talk or look in the mirror, I am reminded.

I’m sorry for what happened to you..also give this doctor a ‘not worth it’ rating. Yours still says worth it..

You need to find a medical malpractice attorney in Los Angeles who may point you in the right directon such as using an arbitrator if the attorney feels he/she can’t undo the arbitration agreement that most of us sign when using doctors and dentists these days.

Arbitration agreements aren’t always 100% binding and can be undone. Going through arbitration isn’t bad either. You can still possibly get your money back AND money for pain, suffering and facial disfigurement. Call around and explore your options. Even if the doctor goes bankrupt or shuts down, you can go aster his medical malpractice insurance carrier (providing he had insurance and didn’t let it lapse)?

Also you may want to consult with Ben Talei for revision/repair who is the expert lip lift surgeon and is ironically located in the same office building (different floor) as Hayworth. Ben Talei did my (male) lip lift last May 2019 and everything is great.

Start exploring your options, rights and recourse!

Best of luck!

I too had surgery with Dr Haworth. A lower VY, DAO release, lip lift & revision rhinoplasty. $30,000 worth. Every procedure has to be redone. I've had the botched revision rhinoplasty attended to and still have the scars, dents & grooves around my my mouth & the uneven lips to deal with. As for cutting the DAO muscles & muscle hemming..
To say he disfigured me is not an unfair statement. The appearance of my mouth area distresses me & from what I've read, there are many who feel the same after his surgeries.

I am so sorry you had to go through this. It's devastating because you feel it and see it everytime you look in the mirror. I might try to fix mine If I ever find the right dr. I haven't been on here for a long time, but I noticed on Hayworth's site there are ton of reviews, however, there are no photos. I'm thinking they are all fake. The entire staff that was there when I was there is gone because of all the "alleged" things he did in the operating room. just google it. I hope things work our for you.

May I ask who fixed your rhinoplasty?
