STAY AWAY

Avoid Dr. Vrcek at all costs. My experience with him was a nightmare. Despite my specific concerns about dark circles and lines, he pushed an unnecessary and botched lower blepharoplasty with an under-eye chemical peel and festoon elevation, showcasing extreme cases as expected results. Post-surgery, one eye was glaringly smaller, and despite my immediate concern, he dismissed it with false promises of symmetrical healing. Six months later, I'm left with asymmetry, dark circles, and lines. His solution? Botox every three months and hydroquinone, which only adds insult to injury. The $8000 wasted on this disastrous procedure is bad enough, but his refusal to refund is outrageous. Dr. Vrcek is not just a terrible surgeon; he's an unpleasant person. Steer clear – this was a costly mistake I wouldn't wish on anyone.

I went for a consultation with another surgeon to address my chief concerns and he believes Dr. Vrcek actually removed fat and hollowed out my under eyes more than they were prior to my surgery. The tissue is now very thin and dark. I was super disappointed to hear this but am hopeful that it can be restored by a more qualified plastic surgeon.

I left this same exact review on google and it has mysteriously disappeared. People should be able to know the truth before having their face operated on. I’m glad RealSelf has an open and honest forum.
