I have no words to describe everything what I went through

I met Saulius Viksraitis first in 2007 for endoscopic face lift and breast augmentation. Breasts seemed ok first but I had implant rupture later and had a complicated removal. And what he did to my face makes me cry till today. He offered me good price for chin augmentation to improve my prophile. Because I came from US and originally from Baltics, I wanted to take advantage of offer. Endoscopic face lift was visibly uneven (he doesn't have a sense of proportions) and chin implant inflamed badly. The doctor who removed it in US said: it was males chin implant. It consisted from 2 parts and was huge for my face. Even if it wouldn't inflame I would have to take it out. I spent much more money trying to improve chin after removal. One part became bigger than another side. I had to do steroid injections, silicone 1000 injections, trying to smooth terrible inside scar under chin, which was very visible from outside. In 2015 came again and Dr. Viksraitis took a piece of my own tissue and put into smaller part of chin, which looked like it missing flesh after inflammation. It made just a tiny difference. This piece inflamed when I went back to US and I asked dr. which medicine I can take. He said it wasn't inflamed. I have no words to describe everything what I went through. He also did ear correction and it was complete failure, he doesn't know the technique. They look the same or worse, just extra scars. He did fat injections into cheeks and upon the mouse. Don't let him do upon the mouse: he doesn't know how much to inject making you look ugly like frog. Some of this fat dissolved in 2.5 to 3 yrs but part still here. I am crying a lot looking at mirror. Left part has more fat. He made me look like mutant. Don't trust him. I was lured with lower price of surgeries I can't afford in US but ended up spending more money trying to correct what he did. He spoiled my face till the end of my life. When I look at my before pictures I think I was beatiful compare to those after his surgeries

I’m glad you brought it up in first place. Second – obscenities are not allowed here. In reply to ur objection I can say that surgeon performs experiments on his patients, doesn’t know techniques and does surgeries without knowledge how to do that, doesn’t take responsibilities for his mistakes. I can also suggest that this reply is created by someone from his surrounding as you are not a verified member vs me who proved that I was doing surgeries exactly with this surgeon. Anyway I added 4 more pictures, one of them was taken in his office right before surgery, compare to how ears and chin look today. Would anyone suggest I had ear correction surgery? And I was sending him links on right techniques and asking if he does it right way and he told me not to worry. I also added a picture if my breast implants and capsules removed (one ruptured). I had a really tuff explant surgery and there are very few surgeons who can do it right way with capsules removed, scraping all silicone from your chest wall, which is very close to lungs and heart. There ware women who joined groups just to see what was the experience of those who had implants – and decided not to do such a horrible damage to their bodies. Regarding me coming back to the same surgeon: yes part of that was not smart (ear correction; just believed someone is so irresponsible and makes extra scars for nothing), another part was - doing lower facelift to have a piece of my own tissue to fill a gap in my chin, which looked like missing flesh. It helped very little. After lower facelift Dr. Viksraitis was surprised that my left side required less skin to be lifted. And no surprise – as with endoscopic face lift, which was done first time he did it very uneven. Doesn’t matter what you think about me, I just want to worn other women what kind of surgeon he is and let them decide if I am lying and choose if I they want to go under experiment. Let them look at chin implant, which was explanted by another surgeon in US, and decide if it looks right for woman. Do research before u make decision and avoid mistakes I did.

I'm so sorry to hear of what you have been through. As a former patient of this very same surgeon, I can vouch for all your comments about him. He overestimates his competence and experience and even misleads his patients into believing he is capable of the surgery they need (even if he has never performed them!). I was one of his "guinea pigs". He messed up my mid-face and eyes big time. Instead of him performing the surgery we had agreed on, and I had paid for, during the consultation, I got a truncated version, i.e. he took short cuts. The mid-face lift was never performed. I know this because he told me the cheeks would be lifted through incisions done through the upper gum area in my mouth. I had prepared for this eventuality (liquid foods) to minimise chewing and disturbance. The absence of pain in my mouth suggested this part of the procedure had been left out, and my eyes looked a mess. Not only had I paid for a procedure that never took place, but what he did do, he did badly. Maybe he gets it right sometimes, but I have seen many reviews, and even spoken to women who's lives he has destroyed, to know that this surgeon is not all that he makes himself out to be. Caveat emptor!/Buyer beware.

I believe everything you have said as I had a procedure myself in 2012: upper & lower eyelid surgery and an endoscopic brow and mid face lift he claimed he had lots of experience in performing and was an expert.. He never delivered on the procedures we had agreed on and ruined my eyes. He also had someone clearly inexperienced in injecting fillers to pump my brows with something I never asked for and left mum brows with a heavy look. He didn’t even carry out the endo mid face lift but left scars in my scalp presumably to make me think he had! I had no discomfort in my mid face and this is how I know! He cannot be trusted. I would advise anyone who values their appearance to stay clear of this charlatan.
