Left Blue Suture Threads in my Cheeks

10 years ago, I had a mini face lift with Dr. Moscoe. I was 42 years old and was going through divorce and had a slightly sagging neck that I wanted lifted. I had heard that Dr. Moscoe was a decent plastic surgeon, he wasn't the best but at the time I had conflicts and could not wait for the doctor with a better reputation. I was not happy with the results because I had huge hollows in both cheeks that were asymmetrical. I spend $1000's of dollars trying to correct them with Sculptra. I did not go back to Dr. Moscoe because I didn't like the way I was treated there. The staff did not seem to know what they were doing and did not seem to care. I felt like a misbehaving child when I was in there. I summoned up the courage to tell him about how my ears were uneven after the surgery which he said was there before the surgery. Anyway, its 10 years later and yesterday I had a full face lift with a very reputable plastic surgeon and one of the first things he and his staff told me when I woke up out of surgery was that the previous doctor had left staples in my cheeks. Not just one or 2 forgotten stables but many! I am furious! Stay away from Dr. Moscoe unless you want to have your face looking worse than when you came in and beware that you might have a lot of staples left in your checks. The whole reason I went to him was to have my neck tightened up and I learned that the procedure he did on me does not do much in the way of tightening the neck. I've spend the last 10 years with a turkey neck. Thanks for listening, Dr. Moscoe! Great job, Dr. Moscoe! How many other women are walking around with staples in their cheeks? Do you do that to everyone or was it just me? Ladies beware! And be careful who you choose. I was naive and trusted him because he had a degree and I have a trusting nature. Im so sorry I chose a man who takes no pride in his work, wants to take the easy way out and doesn't care about his patients. I'm looking forward to my new improved face done by a 'real' plastic surgeon. Thank God! Maybe I can spend the next 10 years actually looking better than when I went in for surgery. Can't wait!

I would like to edit my previous post because I was just out of surgery and under the influence and got a little upset when i found out that the previous plastic surgeon, Dr. Moscoe had left what I thought was staples in my face for 10 years but it was only blue sutures lines all in and around my cheeks. Still not a good thing and I'm still not happy because I don't think it shows he cared or did quality work. I think he wanted to make a quick buck and thats it and that upsets me. I did not like the results of his work and had to live with it for 10 years and i was too chicken to stand up for myself at the time. Whats done is done. Live and learn. Thank god I had a good surgeon this time who took all the blue suture line out of my face. I feel and look better already!
