Now needing double what I paid him for corrective surgery

Biggest Regret of my Life Trusting Dr Sadati

$23,000
Ladies, before you put your trust in Dr. Kevin Sadati, I hope my personal experience with Dr. Sadati, and my horrible results, will have you think twice before you put your face in his hands. I was unable to post with no stars so I had to choose one.
I want to share how Dr. Sadati left my face and eyes after my surgery.
I had my first lower facelift at 50, twelve years ago, by a different plastic surgeon (board certified). My results were fantastic, natural, and I had no issues. I should have returned to this doctor.
I went to Dr. Sadati for wrinkles on both sides of my cheeks. I had no jowls only wrinkles and he assured me I needed a second facelift, and stated how great his second facelifts look. He even bragged about the results of women who have gotten third facelifts.
My facelift surgery with Dr Sadati was on October 14, 2020.
I had numerous issues immediately following my facelift with Dr. Sadati. At every office visit, Dr. Sadati stated something different regarding my issues, but one thing he consistently stated, was that I “needed to wait a year” for my face to heal, and all my issues will go away, and I should trust him.
I have since found out you have one year to sue for medical malpractice.
My face and eye disfigurements have not gone away and I need corrective surgery by a plastic surgeon specialist. Dr. Sadati refused to return my money, and I am now needing double what I paid him for corrective surgery on my face.
Following my facelift with Dr Sadati, I now have a thick solid ledge of skin framing my face, from my earlobes down towards my chin. The ledges of skin look and feel unnatural and are very unsightly. I also have an additional bunching and bulging of skin under my jawline like a double chin. I never had either of these issues until my surgery with Dr. Sadati.
Following my lower eye surgery, my left eye is now permanently disfigured. I went to an oculoplastic surgeon, and he stated that it appears the orbicularis muscle may have been damaged.
The left bottom lid flips inwards throughout the day with certain eye movements, which results in my bottom eyelashes poking my eye and a horrible sensation. I have to use my finger to unflip it when this happens. I am unable to wear eye makeup due to the lid flipping inward.
Both lower lids droop and the whites of my eyes are now exposed. My left eye looks much larger than my right eye and is visibly unsymmetrical.
I have a noticeable large lump of scar tissue in my right cheek due to the post-operation hematoma. I have an abnormal concave dip under my chin due to the liposuction. I have numerous noticeable stitch bumps throughout my face. I have a pucker at my left temple.
During surgery, Dr. Sadati scratched my cornea. This was extremely painful. The day after surgery, instead of sending me to an eye doctor, he gave me numbing drops and sent me home. Because of the pain, I returned three more times and was instructed to keep using the numbing drops.The numbing wears off in seconds so I couldn’t use it.
I finally went to my personal eye doctor who was alarmed with the drops Dr. Sadati gave me. The drops are for doctors use during procedures and not a treatment. If I had used the drops often they could have melted my cornea. Dr. Sadati lied in his notes, and stated he patched my eye and gave me lubricant drops.
Almost a year after surgery during my last visit, I stated my left eye still flips inward. He lied in his notes stating I complained of wrinkles around my eyes and left out my eye flips inward. Dr. Sadati also lied in his notes stating the two ledges of skin framing my face were only brought up at that visit. He also stated I had these ledges before, and was only now mentioning them. My husband and I have proof he lied in his notes on my last visit.
His office manager, Janet, will be your best friend to close the sale but that changes.
I read other negative reviews from women who shared their results from Dr. Sadati, and I wish I would have listened. Trusting Dr. Sadati and ignoring these reviews is the biggest regret of my life.

Im so sorry for the nightmares you are going through. I don't understand why surgeons can't accept mistakes and give back the money at least when they have clearly botched someone. ... i hope you can figure this out and get surgery that fixes the damage asap.
I believe it!
So sad to read uou my dear You must be going through hell. Why don’t you sue him
Hello Why didn't you go back to your previous surgeon since you have had a great result with him. Also do share your first surgeon info. I was planning to go to doctor sadati now I am afraid
I went to Dr. Sadati too...biggest regret!!!...Janet is all about the money and closing the deal, and as for the dr, I had to go back for a revision necklift cuz the first one he did didn't turn out right...and even after the revision, it still doesn't look right...I paid for a lower face and necklift and even after a revision it wasn't fixed...what a waste of money and healing...my mid and lower face aren't much improved at all...neck isn't snatched and chisled...still loose skin...don't let the fact that he's an "artist" fool u...he sucks...go somewhere else...I think most of the plastic surgeons in Newport beach suck...I suggest going to Beverly hills...if u can afford it...don't waste ur money on him.
