Look a little bit more youthful. Get wrinkles out and a neck lift. Dr. Said would apply fat on my cheecks........According to doctor it wasnt too much what i needed....Went for surgery on February. Procedure took much longer than expected ..anesthesia costs went up a lot. After six months I realized that the surgery was a failure. No more fat. Dorctor accepted the facts. Insisted in injecting more fat. I delayed the procedure. Didnt want to expose myself to more anethesia......my neck has no sensibility, there are imperfections everybody notices around my neck and under my chin.

PROFILE

Took too much time in the operating room. Results after surgery and fat injections were a failure. Doctor accepted i hadnt improved that much. Insisted in applying more fat. I wasnt sure about getting anesthesia again so I posponed that one....My neck shows imperfections all over and have no sensibility....In one the after surgery visits he applied botox on frown lines. Another failure. He insisted I was botox resistant. Never offered a second round of botox as is customary with other doctors. I found out that Allergan refunds costs to doctors if it is a non effect on patient. I filled out a complaint myself with the Allergan representative and they said the doctor should call to be reimbursed ...I got botox injections with a Dermatologist and the results were great. I sent pictures to dr. Franckle showing that I was not botox resistant as he assured me.....he never responded...I emailed his office with the case number with Allergan..finally his office called me and said if I wanted to have more injections. I am tottaly dissapointed with this doctor. I am asking for the refund. i do not trust him anymore. It cost me 360 dollars but they already told me only the material costs would be refund. His secreatry is very nice but Dr. franckle is a failure. I wouldnd recommend him. At least not for cosmetic surgery.

So sorry... Had you researched this Dr before surgery?
Yes I did. He might be good for other kind of surgery but not for neck and face lifts. Three months ago I met another lady in the office. She was going for a second neck surgery. The doctor had offered her to correct the first one free of charge, only paying for hospital and anesthesia. She told me the Doctor blamed her skin for the failure. She was brave enough to go for the second time. Later i found out she was over 6 hours under anesthesia!!! Outrageous!
Did you see before/after photos of the surgery you were having by him? Speak to anyone who recommended him for this surgery?
No ...i believed what I read online....I am new in town..didn't know anybody. As for the pictures in the Office...no ...they didnt show me any. I had the interview with the doctor, they took pitures of my face, doctor gave all kind of explantions about what I needed to be done pointing out everything on the photographs. It was very convincing to me. I was very happy......
You should have come here & researched what to look for in a PS, 1st.
Yes..Live and learn.....
The Neck lift was over 12,000. Botox injections 360,00.
You got ripped. I got an entire neck & lower facelift for $9500.
Ye, it was neck and lower face lift..nevertheless you are right ..It was way too much....specially for the poor job.
So sorry...
Live and learn...
Good thing you weren't disfigured.
I would be writing from jail by now after killing him! LOL...oh well.. Thank God...I am doing OK now. Found a good dermatologist ....no more plastic surgery for now. Fillers and Botox are doing the job. Next a peeling for the sun spots.
Thank you for sharing your experience on RealSelf!
Thank you for sharing this info. It's so important for us to know which doctor is not doing a good job as the price they ask for...
