Avoid This Doctor and This Procedure

I was dumb I let this doctor talk me into a procedure called a direct eyebrow lift because my insurance would pay for it. In this procedure, skin is removed from above the eyebrows and the scar is hidden in the eyebrow. I was aware there would be some scarring visible because I have very thin eyebrows but I thought and Dr Rivera agreed, that after 6 mths I could have powder brows done and the scars would be mostly hidden. She didn't keep to incision close enough to the brows and she neglected to inform me the incision would go down the side to my temples. She also left the incisions in for 2 wks creating deep indented scars with track marks. There's no hiding this without bangs. To make matters worse you can barely even tell I had a brow lift!! My eyebrows are still heavy, my eyes still slant in the corners and you still can't see my eyelids.

Where did you have your treatment done I’m thinking of having it done at a Harley st clinic?

This Dr should be held accountable. I have never seen such a technique for a brow lift. Seems like an ineffective technique with unnecessary scars.
