Dr Churchill is the worst plastic surgeon ever. He not only did an awful job but also contradicted himself numerous times. He performed an upper and lower bleph on my eyes, as well as laser resurfacing, a facelift, and later as a revision to the facelift that wasn't, a cheeklift. The eyelids were sagging almost immediately which he attributed to ptosis, something I told him about when we had our first visit and each time leading up to the surgery. I had the option of having the eye doctor/ cosmetic surgeon do my eyes upper and lower with insurance coverage and Dr Churchill said he would do it better. Then he forgot I told him? He went back to correct that and they looked worse. Now 3 years later my eye doctor is trying to correct it because I still have the ptosis. He says he cannot do the bleph revision because the ps has left nothing to work with. As for the facelift, the jowls were sagging within months, I looked like a chipmunk at the same time, and although my little Turkey neck wasn't a turkey any more, I suddenly had a double chin with these bands by my neck. For a revision I had a choice of a tuck up or cheeklift. His staff advised cheeklift. At first it looked great. A month later that was sagging. Dr Churchill said no more revisions. I was at the point where I didn't want him to touch me again anyway. After the initial surgery he said he took off 20 years, but when it started to sag his answer was that my skin was hard to work with and my expectations too high. My expectations were only high because of what he said although he suddenly didn't remember. Every time he said something He I took notes and researched. I asked him to explain how he performed the SMAS lift because I thought maybe he did it differently than I read and he avoided answering until the 3rd visit with me asking leaving me to wonder if he had to read about it before answering As for the laser resurfacing, my skin looks close to the same and he blamed it on me, as I supposedly have the remnants of acne deep down ( I am in my 60s) and so somehow even though he's charged me quite a bit it's my fault. But if you've resurfaced my face even my eyes( where no one gets acne) shouldn't there be any improvement? I'm writing this review for any one out there considering him. There are many other doctors out there with many more reviews than him. Do your research and do not go to him

i am so sorry that this experience was so bad. i hope you ask your money back . what i always do when i go to a doctor or someone about important issues i always tape the conversation. i never tell because i am paying for the things they are going to do for me or on me. when listening i am always surprise by the things that are said and i didnt pay attention then .

OMG......your story sounds the same as mine. All the doctor’s bad work was my fault. I didn’t point to my jowls during the consult so he thought they didn’t bother me. At that point I lost all respect for him. I wonder if he himself even did both sides of my face. Everything about one side is different. He was the most expensive of the 5 doctors I saw and now a do over will cost even more.

I would be camping on his doorstep until I got my money back, all of my money! I am so sorry this happened to you.
The blepharoplasty left my lower lids drooping especially the left side. I’ve had 3 surgeries with grafts with an ocular plastic surgeon in NY. Its better but not perfect. Nothing more can be done. So I understand.
