Unnatural results - destroyed my appearance and left me with permanent pain

I recently saw a dermatologist who put me on gabapentin in hopes it will help with the pain I’m still experiencing 3 years post op. He also was unable to explain why there are large, hard, painful lumps under the scar line.


Avoid Dr. Attenello at all costs unless you want to be on addictive pain meds for the rest of your life, with other doctors at a loss for how to things turned out like this.

I'm now at ~2 years and 3 months and my life is still at a standstill because of what Dr. Attenello did to me. I still have severe pain and avoid going in public as much as possible because of the stares and comments I get. I can probably never get my hair wet in front of anyone ever again and the wind gives me severe anxiety. I've reached out to a number of the top hairline revision surgeons in the US and they've told me that because so much was taken away, they cannot fix what was done. Looks like I will be stuck hiding indoors for the rest of my life. Really think about if you want to go with a surgeon who has botched someone so badly even other surgeons can't fix it. She will take your money and your life.

2 years later and I am still severely depressed after Dr. Attenello left me disfigured. The scar only looks worse and worse. I still have horrible pain and severe bouts of itching and inflammation. I still spend most of my days alone laying in bed because I can't bear being seen by others. I cannot do anything anymore. Just a reminder to stay far far away from her because she is dishonest and clearly doesn't have any understanding of facial structure/symmetry. No sane person would ever put this hairline on a cis woman. If I can save even one person's life from her, then it'll all be worth pushing through the pain every day.
