Ellacor subtle; careless doctor with masculinizing aesthetic for women

I felt manipulated into getting Ellacor in my mid 30s to correct jaw filler from Dr. Emer that made my jawline look lumpy and masculine for months. I went in asking for a slight, subtle correction of asymmetry. I was very happy with my face and expressed I only wanted it on one side over and over. Dr. Emer insisted I need two syringes (which I now know is A LOT) and when I was lying down in the chair and he had done the one I wanted, literally lunged at the other side of my face as I shied away in the chair saying please only do a tiny bit, that side is bigger already and I don’t want to look manly. As soon as I stood up and looked in a mirror I was horrified and Emer literally fled the room when he saw my face. After it settled it was still masculine and wavy, enhancing my jowls, augmenting the already larger side and creating bigger asymmetry. He had presented Radiesse as removable saying “there are things you can do” though when I googled it, those things are surgical excision. This is why I felt manipulated into Ellacor; he had included it on his treatment plan as a stage two thing, it was as if he knew the filler would be so bad the Ellacor would be necessary to correct it. People I’d met multiple times in my building literally did not recognise me and I had to get Kybella with different doctor to try to lessen the heavy side he made even heavier.
Usually I wouldn’t write a negative review because elective procedures carry risk, but my second experience of Dr. Emer totally disregarding my wishes and steamrolling me with the Ellacor changes things. Firstly, I was quoted 3500 as “cheaper” as I was doing a smaller area than then full 5000 treatment (correcting the masculinizing effect I had already paid 2k for) and he presented himself as the only man in LA. with this technology. I now know Dermatologist Rebecca Fitzgerald in Larchmont does the full face for 3500k and he is either overcharging or presenting a fake deal. When there, after an hour long wait, I was told I need to buy 550 at a minimum to 700+ dollars worth of aftercare products for him to perform it, though I have a ton of medical grade skincare at home. If you are charging this much in aftercare and refusing to perform the service if people don't buy it when people have taken the day off work, they should be told beforehand. After tax the full price is 3800 so expect to add a grand to whatever he quotes.
I wanted certain areas to be focused on and the nurses told me I could tell him before, but the factory-line rush of his practice means though I tried to explain I don’t mind doing the procedure multiple times and I want a gentle, slow and steady approach to any changes to my face (something I also emphasized with the jaw filler) he nodded then ignored me. I said I want to avoid the middle of the chin but do around it and focus on the peri-oral area, jowls and under the neck. He missed out the chin entirely, not doing any mouth or nasolabial lines, barely doing the under neck, while going hardcore for the sides of the face, exactly the opposite of the gentle slow and steady approach I requested after he had steamrolled me the first time. (But great evidence he knew his filler work was absolutely horrible).
So I now am getting a second Ellacor treatment with two weeks downtime with a different doctor, to treat the parts Dr. Emer didn’t actually treat at all. That’s over 9k treatments plus 550 in skincare and 600 in kybella to fix something I wish I had never done with him in the first place.
Dr. Emer seems to be putting his patients at risk combining this completely new technology with lasers that can scar for life like CO2, when he can have no idea how that will turn out. For instance, though marketed as scarless, if you read the Ellacor studies only 80% heal without scarring. It's interesting Dr. Emer mentions in his Ellacor video a Realself review by an asian boy for acne, that has since disappeared. I wouldn't risk dot scarring all over my face if my skin tone was more melanated, but Dr. Emer must know the scarring percentages and is willing to use his patients as guinea pigs. Morpheus 8 is definitely far more effective for skin tightening and quality with almost no down time if you're patient for results.
Between his hard-on for layering intense devises at unknown risk and the multiple videos of Dr. Emer saying he doesn’t aspirate even in high risk areas, despite no face being an exact replica of an anatomy book in vascularity, it seems to me Dr. Emer is willing to put patients at risk of occlusion, blindness or necrosis merely to save a few seconds of his time. This speaks volumes of his character as a physician.
Personally I will never let Emer touch my face again and for Ellacor would see Derm Rebecca Fitzgerald in LA or Dr. Vallecillos in Beverly Hills. Though the effect is subtle and my face is still more masculine, Ellacor does reduce flesh as it were and I feel halfway back to my old self. I took 2 weeks to fully heal without lingering marks but I have found Ellacor itself to be worth it. Zero before care though extensive aftercare to justify the insane list of products necessary for healing, though Dr. Stephani Kappel who also has it in Newport Beach says all you should need is to keep it moist and use a barrier cream like Aquaphor.
This review is after results of one month; his office forgot to charge me and initially I saw it as a gift from the universe from feeling self-conscious and masculine for months. When they noticed they started to harass me for payment via text phone and email even though I told them how unhappy I have been with his services. Another derm was shocked he wasn't comp-ing me the treatment. Bad doctor, only cares about money and not his patient's wellbeing.
