Worst Experience

$55,000
The facelift performed was so bad, it’s like he cut me apart, didn’t tighten anything and sloppily sewed me up.
My scars will need revision, my neck is not any different than before the $50,000 facelift. I still have lose skin and a double chin. He said you can try ultherapy after my surgery, no sir, that’s why I went straight to a facelift so I wouldn’t need ultherapy.
One of the worst experiences was when I emailed him, to the email given to me by his nurse, and he told me not to even contact him. Go through the office manager. I told him he was in my surgery and my questions were for him, I wanted to know what happened. He said you have fullness there before so it may resolve or not. He could have cared less.
It’s so unfortunate but I have seen three other surgeons who can improve what he did to my face but possible not my ear. He left it mishapen, my ear canal looks like a football and my tragus is flat and deformed. The other surgeons said this happens when it’s not a true deep lane facelift. There is too much tension on the skin. One doctor said he knew Ambe’s work well and he does not perform a true deep plane facelift.
I never even got a response when I ased for a refund for services he said he would perform in my quote of $50,000 which I paid. Then he didn’t do the skin pinch or the platysmalplasty. When asked for the money back the manager said no it’s not much different. I should have ran at that point. My gut said not to go through with this but I didn’t want to lose $50,000. Now I will be spending more for a revision.
I can not wear my hair up or pulled off of my ear. I have to hide it or people would wonder what happened or know exactly what happened almost worse.
My pictures are six months later and final result.
