I Had a Bad Experience with This Doctor.

I give Dr. Freeman only (1) star. I went in for a partial facelift. During the first consultation he spent minimal time with me and explained the surgical process with an attitude of “it’s no big deal”. He gave me no other options to consider for my sagging skin, i.e., facial fat injections, etc. The second meeting was to finalize and sign papers, he suggested fat injections in my lower eyelids. One had a bag and one was hollow. I agreed to do it with the thought the result would make them even. The only time I saw him smile was before we went into the operating room. I survived the operation but the lower eyelid fat injections came out uneven, one earlob was gone, sewn into the jawline, and there are permanent folds behind the ear that trail down toward the neck. I never got a post-surgical call from the doctor no from his office. When I went in to address the issues with him, I was first met by the nurse and discussed the issues with her. She refused to acknowledge the uneven fat injections. As far as the visible folds behind the ear and it keeping me from putting my hair up, she said to “just wear a low ponytail”. I received a in-office surgical correction for the earlobe but it didn’t correct it to normal. I still live with the folds and uneven lower eyelids. I would not recommend this doctor, ever! I am still searching for a method that will correct this mess.

So sorry to read this. I had the same problem with the ear lobe being sewn in and the folds, this was a surgeon in Brussels. I ended up going to Dr Amorn Poomee in Bumrungrad hospital in Bangkok and I couldn't recommend him enough - a true artist when it comes to facelifts and he sorted it all out.
