The doctor, Dr. Spiegel in Boston, who did the forehead reduction left a huge bump on my forehead. In certain lights and pictures it's super embarrassing. He said it was just muscle and to get Botox. Its bone. Bone he was paid to reduce. It was a forehead contouring procedure where he was supposed to shave down forehead bone to look more feminine. He shaved some part but I don't know where, and left a bump that's huge. I literally have a bump on my forehead now. He needs to lose his license.

Can you not verify your claim with photos?
February 3, 2017
Sure can.

What did you look like before? What was the communication between you and your physician before the procedure? Did he communicate any limitations to you? I'm sorry you're going through this...

That's frightening! I hope that it all turns out OK in the end...thank you for sharing!

OMG what a nightmare! I had read about him a couple of years ago.... how he's the worst. i find it mind boggling that people still go to him even knowing his reputation..
And I find it very disturbing that he continues to do plastic surgery even though he knows he's screwed people up. He has no shame.
Good luck with your lawsuit..Like you said.. He needs to lose his license.

He won't readdress the bump?
February 11, 2017
The huge bump he left you mean? No honey, I would like to be reimbursed and have another surgeon perform who isn't comfortable with leaving a huge bump on someone's face.

It's good that he has posted - NOW WE KNOW WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE AND WE CAN ALL STAY AWAY FROM - Dr. Spiegel in Boston's WEB SITE!!!!

'He' has posted? What do you mean? Just because someone has 1 bad experience doesn't discreet all the amazing works he's already done.

Honestly, I had a lovely experience with Dr Spiegel with my jawline and other things. I aim to have forehead contouring also. Either this review is false, and aiming to discredit this surgeon, or this person never had surgery with him.

Funny. I don't see any photos of before and after.

I'll make a review after I've had the surgery, I've not had the forehead surgery yet but I'll make post eventually
February 12, 2017
But you're claiming he did a great job on your jaw line without before after photos.

This reply is ridiculous. Venusxoz seriously believes it's absolutely impossible for a surgeon regardless of their reputation could do a bad job? Accusing someone of lying just because they are sharing their experience is wrong! I'm here to read and see reviews. I appreciate hearing the good and bad, that's all Mstewa544 is doing! I live in Boston and have heard good and bad reviews on him. I myself have chosen to not use him.

Just because you had a "lovely" experience does not mean everyone else does. How would you feel if you had a bad experience and someone tried to discredit you because they did not. It makes no sense. Not everything goes well for everyone and every professional should be responsible for their work.

have consulted with another ps to get there opinion? I am sorry it's wrong
February 11, 2017
I don't have the money to fix it right now.
February 21, 2017
I'm super sorry this happened to you, you no doubt had to save for it and would have been excited. Is there any way he will do another surgery free of charge to fix it? As you said, you can clearly show what is wrong?

Is there another doctor in his practice that you could speak to? Perhaps get a free consultation at a competitor and tell them about your situation. Sometimes a competing practice is willing to "fix" another doctor's mistakes because it's good for their reputation. You're still beautiful regardless.

Thank you for the compliment :). I’m trying to forgive him. I am still upset, but holding anger is only harmful to the person holding it...so I’m trying to let it go and live with it. Thank you for the compliment

I still have a huge bump five years later

I’m including another photo of my taking just a normal photo. In almost all photos you can see there’s a bump on my forehead. I haven’t been able to afford another $10,000 surgery to fix the bumps Spiegel left on my forehead. This is another photo in normal light, just trying to take a picture....five years later, from something Spiegel was trying to say was just muscle and I should get Botox to fix it. It bone. I have no clue what he did for my surgery...besides leave me with a bumpy forehead.

The time is about five years here, not the two since I wrote the post. I wrote other previous posts about Dr. Spiegel after the surgeries, and idk real self deleted them. I had five surgeries at the same time with Dr. Spiegel and 25,000 basically just given to him. None but one of the five were performed, and then lord knows what else he did because it definitely wasn’t what he advertised. I looked almost exactly the same but with bumps of my forehead afterwards. My friends didn’t notice anything was done at all they said I look the same, except I need to fix the bump on my forehead.

I actually have four bumps, but one maybe two mainly show. This picture is altered with a filter, so imagine more of a pronounced bump than this as well. I had to filter otherwise it’s super super obvious in photos. Do yourself a favor, get surgeries elsewhere besides his chop shop, unless you want a bump people. His reviews aren’t real...

Update: I had a CT scan of my forehead. It shows Dr. Spiegel didn’t do the surgery he was paid for. He didn’t do anything to my frontal sinus for this surgery, it was supposed to be a front sinus setback and forehead shaving, to reduce the bumpiness of the forehead. He was paid to set the sinus back then shave forehead bone. The sinus wasn’t touched. And the shaving looked worse than before with bumps, and wasn’t even reduced.

He was the worst surgeon I’ve ever encountered, spoken to, had to deal with, had the worst results, and didn’t do entire surgeries he was paid for.
