Dr M. Vincent Makhlouf did this disaster surgery, at Holly Family Hospital on August 5th, 2011. Like they say, a pictures says more than 1000 words. He left me deformed. He thinks he did nothing wrong, but my opinion and the opinion of all the doctors that have seen me, its that he has done malpractice. Be careful before you have a procedure done by him. I paid him to do this!

anamari, I am so sorry to see what has happened to you. I feel a terrible pit in my stomach and will keep you in my thoughts. I hope you are able to recover the cost you paid for this horrific surgery and are able to find someone that can correct what has been done. Also, you are very brave for sharing your story with us. Thank you for that! Please keep us posted.

Thank you so much for your words. Its way to expensive to fix it, however, I tell you the truth, with all the support I got from everyone in this Real Self Community, and the prayers I already feel that I am not alone, and that's a big plus!

Dr. M. Vincent Makhlouf was found guilty of medical malpractice!
anamariOctober 5, 2016
I would like to thank each and every member of this Real Self Community, who has left me so many kind words! I took this Dr. M. Vincent Makhlouf to court, and after the most difficult week of my life, after being in a court room, with large exhibitions of my body, with hard criticism from his attorney, with testimonies in my favor and against me, finally on November 12, of last year, 12 jurors found this Doctor, guilty of malpractice. I was awarded 200k, 100K went to the attorneys, for their hard work and costs. The money, is not going to help improve this disaster, is not going to pay for the horrendous suffering, humiliation, deformation, pain, and shame this man brought to my life, but at least, I brought him in front of the law (that not always is fair) and even though, him and his attorney tried to mop the floor with me, they lost, and God gave me his mercy, and after all that embarrassment, I won the case! No, I did not receive enough to fix it, or to change my life, since he ruined it, but I WON! Thank you GOD!

Congratulations! I have been following your story and know that there is truly no amount of money in the world that can compensate for all that you have endured. Do you plan on ever having a revision to try and fix his mess, or is that not in the cards?

Thank you very kindly. I don't want to die like this. My daughter in low walked in the bathroom when I was taking a shower and i almost died, of shame. Thank God the water in the shower was so hot, and there was so much steam, she couldn't see anything. I hope one day I will be able to have this mess, fixed at least a little bit. I bought an apartment with the 100000 I received. I am 56 now, and single ( I cancelled my wedding after I had that disaster done, and I felt I needed to have my own place to

Wow. Just wow. I looked up your case using Google and it is published on your attorneys website and blog. Be well and blessed, my friend. I hope that one day you will be healed.

i'm so so sorry! I don't think 200,000 is appropriate for what he did to you! I thought 1 million at least! so terrible!
October 10, 2016
And from the 200000, 100000 went to the attorney. So, I am grateful to God that I won, but you should have an idea how I feel
October 20, 2016
I agree! And I agree even more every time I see myself. I got rid of all mirrors in my house.
I thank you much for your comments
