I just had my second steroid shot in my neck. The skin is very thin where he did the shots. It changes your skin. I still look horrible on that side. The swollen lumps are almost gone but it looks as if I've been bitten by a vampire. Only way to describe it. Here's my latest Picture....

Looks do much better!!! I have to say you have a very strong case against this physician ! My sister in law is an attorney , you can sue for a large sum for what he had node to you !!! Don't be so nice, go after that , that is what his insurance is for ! You look so much better, It will continue to get better ... All the best to you !

I sure wish I could get some of my money back. This isn't what he told me I would receive and then he was so rude at my last appt.
February 16, 2015
Darling , honestly , go see a good solid attorney you will get your money back and then some!! Shame on him ... And you are beautiful and will recieve the results you were looking for soon enough ! ( take him to court , he should reimburse you , hands down you will get every penny back )!!
February 16, 2015
But whatever you do , do not go to small claims because I believe that is only up to either 3k or 5 k . You would recieve much more than that. You are being too nice to him . It's ok to recieve where he is at fault , again that's why they have insurance.

Have you had any surgeries? I didnt see a bio. Thinking of having something done jen?

Had my nose done with great results haven't posted pics I'm more of a private person !

Easeckinger - I'm so sorry! Your neck is looking much better but the trauma you went through is unacceptable. And to be rude to you in addition - disgusting! I'm not sure if you're planning a revision (or if you need one) but I'm considering Dr. Harley. You should see the reviews and photos posted on this site. I'm sure there are other good surgeons here too, but he's one that I've been tracking. In any event, I'm glad to see your progress. All the best to you!

Was thinking of a neck lift or mini facelift but am unsure! Am only 44..
February 18, 2015
Not what you dreamed it would look like, but I am so happy it has improved, for you.
February 18, 2015
it looks so much better, give it few more months.. it does look like its getting better with time..

My friend in Pittsburgh had a horrible result and a hole in her neck. Just FYI, they settled out of court and she was told she couldn't tell anyone what happened. Even if you signed consents, you can sue and have a better surgeon revise. Good luck

January 26 I went in for more surgery. I had upper back where your bra line is, my flanks, and. Inner thighs from groin to. Knees. The surgery lasted five hours. I went under at a surgery Center. This surgery was way more painful than I expected. He got 6 liters of fat. He injected 600 on each side of butt cheeks. I'm in a body suit so I can Tell how it looks at the moment. I'm trying to stay pain free. It feels like I've been run over by a Mac truck. Today my legs were shaking uncontrollably. Not sure why...but that has eased up some tonight. Dr. Larsen did the procedure at Buckhead surgical center in atl. I had great results with him and went back for more. I will post pics tomorrow I hope. I will keep you posted...

Good choice. My last appointment he got sassy with me and tried to blame me for all the problems. He is a terrible communicator with shaky hands. My scar is not even straight. I suppose thats also my fault. Ill never go back to him. Time for him to retire.

That is just horrible for him to not man up for his screw up! I hope that your new doctor can adjust his mistakes. You are still beautiful and breathing! Thank you for posting to let girls like me know to make the switch! I met with Dr. Wilson after setting the surgery date with Dr. P and felt 100% at ease since he went above and beyond to explain everything. I will let you know how it goes that way if you need someone closer you can see him!

I had a steroid shot two weeks ago. The scar tissue and fold of the skin are finally going down a bit. More progress than I've seen in quite some time. I massage aggressive with lotion every day. Still have to cover my neck in public...prayer for more progress soon.

It does look much improved! Are you seeing another doctor or original surgeon? Has there been any explanation as to why this occurred?
User Avatar

They say what caused this is a seroma. From what I'm getting from the second opinion is it can happen to any surgeon. He said time is what I need to see how my body heals. He also said if you try to do anything to soon to fix a seroma scar it can really cause more damage. I'm trying to be more positive about this now that I've gotten a second opinion and just wait it out.

Btw...my original surgeon is still treating me.
January 9, 2015
Bless your heart ! It looks so much better! Maybe it's s good thing your original surgeon is working with you . I have to say he should help you till the end free of charge! My doctor said if everything is not perfect we will revise at no cost until it is perfect!! Best wishes to you! I think you will be just fine and hopefully glad you had it done
January 9, 2015
MUCH improved!
February 2, 2015
Hi, how are you feeling? Have you seen progress? Did you research the DR. before?
October 21, 2015
I'm sorry beautiful. It does look much better, I have to thank you for the courage of documenting your journey to recovery. So that others like myself can be aware of possible outcomes. You look beautiful to me. Don't give up hope
