Horrible! He did not tell me that I would lose a lot of hair and have bald spots!

I forgot to add a few things. I would have a few days ago but I’ve been very busy. As I said I went in for a facelift HE suggested the brow lift. It was HIS responsibility to tell me that there was more than one. He SHOULD HAVE EXPLAINED to me all the different ones and the side affects. The major side affect- guaranteed hair loss. A copy of a paper explaining all the different types should be given to every patient whether having or not having a brow lift. If deciding to have one then the PATIENT DECIDES which one. I hope everyone reading this will not have any type of brow lift.
He told me that he also does PRP’s. I had to look that up. That means HE KNEW a lot of hair would fall off! That would put a couple of more $1000s in his pocket. What do you think? I won’t go back to him for anything.

If there was a ZERO that’s what I would give him. I went in for a facelift and he suggested a brow lift with a facelift would make me look younger. Well, he did not tell me that I would lose a lot of hair and have bald spots! His solution, “shampoo with Rogaine for women and wear hair extensions!” He laughed! Obviously he’s done this many times.
I have spent close to $1,800 on wigs, special shampoo (not Rogaine), vitamins, protein and collagen drinks. I had to go to my doctor and have her subscribe sleeping pills. On the second checkup he walked out on me!Although not seen well on the last picture ALL of my hair, front and back, is considerably thin because of the surgery not shampoo.Please don’t let any doctor talk you into having a brow lift. Spread the word.
