ORIGINAL POST

Botched

798camelliaFebruary 17, 2023

Botched. The good part it was fixable by another surgeon. Who noticed the botch when he walked in the exam room. It took an emotional toll, also financially. A violation of trust. Led me on and fed me snake oil. I'll post a picture at a later date. After, I seek legal counsel.

I hope it is fixable. This doctor's facial-surgeon- friend said it is fixable. My vectors are off 15 degrees. I haven't had the revision yet. I posted before and after pictures.

So by the post above you were able to get a successful revision? If so I am so happy for you. What type of FL did the first Dr. give you? Mini, (skin only) , SMAS lift, or deep plane? And what kind of FL was your revision? Please post pics for the revision when you feel up to it.

I haven't had a revision yet. I have a few consultation appointments. The doctor said he did a deep composite lift. However the procedural op report is vague. Report doesn't not mention releasing ligaments. I hope to get a FL and liplift revision before summer. I will post pictures of the revision. Thank you for asking.

Depressed need a revision

Pictures don't lie. The doctor's response when I asked for a refund..."I am sorry Patient that you are displeases w your results. It is not my policy to reimburse services rendered.
All of your procedures were discussed and had your consent and were performed professionally."
My response "Performed Professionally." I'm not dysmorphic. Others are also displeased with my results and your work. I'll continue to let others see if they would be pleased with these results on their face. Pictures don't lie.

Such a botched job & completely disgraceful after service. He should have at the very least refunded you the full amount. To everyone out there DO NOT GO ANYWHERE NEAR THIS SO CALLED PLASTIC SURGEON

I am so sorry that you are dealing with this. Thanks for your post and warning others about the less than desirable result from what you deserve and were looking for. My surgeon guarantees his results. A doctor that will not stand behind his work should not be in practice. I wish you the best and hope you can get it resolved to your satisfaction.

In my opinion, why would anyone want to go to this surgeon! Look at his horrible overall rating!!

Looking for a doctor that has their own surgical suite, good reviews a good pictures. I learned so much, in terms of different procedures. How there done. Why facial distortions happen. I have upcoming appointments with different surgeons. Looking forward to their examination response.

Well check out my review. It's awful too. Sorry about your results. I end up with over 4 years of chronic pain too. My surgeon was Dr Raymond E Lee FaceologyMD.

I heard of him. He is from Orange County. I would not go to him. Sorry you had to suffer pain. Thank you for your response.

I read your review and saw your pictures. I know the feeling of not wanting to look in the mirror. Knot up when you do. I am so sorry for the pain you described and your experience due to the pain. We expect to have a good outcome with no pain or obvious distortions to our face. I feel for you. Did you find an expert to do a revision? Dr. Malone female in LaJolla check out her website. Dr. Balikan. He has offuce in SD and Temecula
All the best to you.

Depressed after receiving botched results

798camelliaFebruary 26, 2023

Dr. Robinson's response to his work seen in these pictures. "I am sorry Patient that you are displeases w your results. It is not my policy to reimburse services rendered. All of your procedures were discussed and had your consent and were performed professionally."

My response..Doctor, I'm not dysmorphic. Other people are displeased with my results and your work. How can you feel pleased about your work on my face, after viewing pictures of my face. I'll continue to let others see if they would be pleased with these results on their face. Doctor distoted my natural facial expressions and his remedy was to paralyzed the muscles. Viewer, be the judge of my facial pictures and me informing about what he views his work on my face to be "Professionally Performed." Two years later. It did not improve. The line he fed me, for a long time and snake oil.
