WARNING: Please Think Twice Before Trusting This Doctor.

I had surgery with him on November 15, 2024 — including upper & lower blepharoplasty, ptosis repair, facial fat grafting, and a brow lift.
The result? Worse than before. I sincerely wish I had never done it with him.

I chose this surgeon because of the glowing reviews — but now I realize that many of them are either fake or highly misleading.
I’m a real patient, and I’ve attached my surgical report and invoice, with both our names on it, as well as clear photos showing the poor outcome.
This is not defamation — this is a real warning from someone who trusted him and paid the price emotionally, physically, and financially.

Let me add this:
The doctor lied to me, claiming he performed a skin pinch, but when I got the surgical report, it was never mentioned. I later consulted multiple other respected surgeons who confirmed: No, you did not get a skin pinch.
He simply did not do what he claimed.

Also — he charged me extra for ptosis repair, even though it was clearly listed as part of the comprehensive package on his own website. This is not just poor ethics — it’s deceptive. I’ve attached the invoice showing the upcharge.

Every time I visited, the clinic was empty. No patients waiting — unlike any reputable plastic surgeon’s clinic. That alone should’ve been a red flag.

Please understand: revisions are far more dangerous, difficult, and emotionally draining than doing it right the first time.
Don’t risk your face, your confidence, or your money here. I’m speaking to you from the future — learn from my mistake.

There are far better surgeons in the same price range — or even slightly higher — like:
• Dr. Kami Parsa
• Dr. Massry

They’re known for precision, honesty, and natural-looking results. Yes, they may be $1,000–$2,000 more, but you’ll be preserving your face — not paying to fix damage later.

Take close-up photos of every surgeon’s results.
Inspect the details. Ask questions. Do not rush.
Look at Kami’s and Massry’s work — they’re far more consistent, detailed, and safe.

Please don’t take chances with your face. I did — and I’m living with the regret.

???? Update: Please read this part – the doctor has been trying to block me from sharing my story

Since posting my honest review, the doctor has been actively trying to block me from sharing my experience and photos on multiple platforms — including RealSelf and Yelp. He is clearly doing everything he can to silence my voice so that no one sees the reality of what happened. This kind of behavior only confirms my concerns and raises even more red flags. People deserve to know the full truth before making a decision.
