Anyone considering this doctor and wants to see his “work” in person, please contact me!!

I wish I could have seen what this doctor’s quality of work was before he ruined my face and changed my life. If you’re considering him and want to see what was done to me, please contact me! I wish I had the opportunity to have met someone he worked on before I made this huge mistake going to him. I hope my experience can help someone not have to go through what I have.

Response from Dr. Bitner:
I am sorry your experience was not perfect. I don’t disagree/argue with patients privately/publicly. May I point out:1) the manner used to display results should be specific w/ before-and-after pics taken in the same way-then results have no distortion(same angles, distance, lighting, head position) IGpost @drjohnbitner 11/8/22 on selfie distortion. If permitted, I will post her 6mo results. Indicate here! 2) I’m always here to correct imperfections at little to no cost. Always, for any patient.

I had a similar experience with Dr. Bitner. I had a face/brow lift done 2 year ago. I was extremely disappointed in the results and have spent the past 2 years figuring out ways to camouflage the sloppy work and unsightly scarring. I should have done more research before placing my trust in Dr. Bitner's recommendations and practices

Just gets worse
Year and a half after surgery and facelift has completely fallen. Both cheeks have lateral sweep deformities. Right side of face still has numbness and nerve damage, crooked smile. Eyes haven’t improved, hair grafts aren’t taking well in the thick scars and neck looks even more bizarre. I feel so anxiety ridden, it’s completely affected my life.. He did a second facelift and numerous procedures on a patient right after me that also had major issues. Two full facelifts with fat graft, forhead lifts, lip implants, eye bleph surgeries all on the same day. I asked her why she didn’t write a review, she said she can’t even think it about it. It’s been so crippling to her. Feels like I went to some facelift factory where women are just atm machines. How many more are out there?

I’m so sorry you are experiencing this. You have no idea how many more there actually is out there. Especially with ocular plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills. This entire Industry is full of surgeons that act like used car salesmen! This Industry is all smoke and mirrors. Too many patients lives ruined by the hands of their surgeons.
Correct imperfections ? Not just an imperfection? You must have been expecting this John.
Did you have laser resurfacing? This happened to me with co2 laser. I was also told I may have Ehlers Danlos. I do not! Do you have an autoimmune disease?

15 months out and completely bizarre loose neck and lower face.
I’m now 15 months after my procedure. This is my neck and lower face when I look down. It’s just sagging and bizarre. This started 2 months after the procedure. If it looks this bad after only a year, I’m terrified what I’ll look like in 2 or 5 years.

I think it’s important for the public to see what the facelift looks like in reality. Looking down, natural lighting, etc, not just head up, staged with a flash from 6 feet back in an office, photo.
So true, and thank you for pointing that out !
Are you sure he’s certified with the American Board Of Plastic Surgery?
Mine advertised he was , but he wasn’t. I year out. I can’t wait to get my nerve ablation, as I’m in chronic pain. Pain with a saggy neck! Worst part: I paid for it.

Maybe if these surgeons spent less time on their Instagram posts and more time listening and taking care of their patients when complications arise, they would be better off. His comment here does more harm to him than the good customer will he presumed it would have done by responding.
Absolutely
Would you please post before pictures? And how we can judge or trust you if you did not post pictures of you before or/and during, step-by-step?
She did!
I’ve even posted the intake photos from the doctor. I’ve posted pics at 2 months, 6 months etc.
So sorry your results were not good! I wouldn’t trust him to do corrections
I originally was considering having my neck redone but was told by other doctors considering the quality of the work done, do not go back to him.
Great news…so sorry you are having to go through this. Best wishes!
Wish you success in your journey!
