Cheek Restoration at Age 47-BOTCHED and dismissed!

Dr. Edward Bednar refused, to help me...so...my husband and I are left wondering,... now what? Why are these two physicians dismissing themselves of the responsibility to deliver a service to a woman whose face has been damaged? xx

Now that all the swelling has subsided in my right cheek, I can easily surmise that it is placed higher than the left implant; thus, the right cheek is fuller and more prominent. I will not be returning to this surgeon again, unless I have an emergency. I am especially disappointed in the final results and am having a fat transfer to my cheeks and under eye area, a procedure that is often offered when one undergoes cheek implant surgery. I hope my new surgeon, who is strictly a plastic/cosmetic specialist, can help even out my cheeks and add more volume.

One of the screws came loose within a few months, so Dr. had to tighten. As my husband duly noted: the screw shouldn't work itself loose within such a short amount of time. Moreover, I now have to have a fat transfer procedure done to add more volume to the apples of my cheeks and my under-eye hollows, which another surgeon stated should have been initially addressed with the properly-sized cheek implant design (not malar, but rather a combined submalar/malar design). I am overall very disappointed (not with the cheek implants themselves) but with the fact that I had to undergo THREE surgeries versus ONE and still have the implants augmented with fat grafting additional costs. ) Sadly, as friendly of an oral surgeon as Dr. Haigney seems to be, how unfortunate that he didn't seem to be well-acquainted with the artistry and placement of cheek implants.
