Terrible experience - my calf until now is still uneven

ORIGINAL POST

Terrible Experience

Neat444243
I had a calf implant with this surgeon and it was terrible, first his assessment on the size of my calf implant, he didn’t get it correctly that’s why my calf until now is still uneven. Second was the check up fee of 2,000, he told me that it will be voided if I pursue with the surgery but after the surgery he told me he did not say that. Third, was during the surgery, he recommended me that it’s best to not do the general anesthesia, i said fine, he said it’s better if I’m awake. The anesthesia was only on the surface of my calf not inside, that’s why I feel like I was tortured during the surgery, he didn’t tell me that the inside of my calf will not be numb. I was crying the whole procedure, it was terrible. He could have been honest but no, he thinks it’s okay to do that. And fourth was the price, for me I think it’s overpriced. I spent almost $2000 just for one calf. Where in fact, you can get breast implants for that price for the both already. He even asked me who will pay the surgery? I mean is that really necessary ? And also the removal of the stitches he asked me for $20 per removal , nevertheless I didn’t complain anything to him and just let it pass. I hope people can find the right doctor and always search got reviews. It’s important, because mine, I thought he was good because of his credentials.

Hello. I am sorry to hear about your calf surgery! I've had bad calf surgery too. May I ask which clinic you went to? Thanks

If you're going to express only complaints in your whole review, wouldn't it make sense to drop the name of the surgeon so others can be aware? Reviews are supposed to help others and your surgeon aware of the quality of work and what improvements they should work on if needed. And in this case, not giving you enough anesthesia and reneging on prices speak to a lack of serious ethics. We don't know who did your work so what's the point?
