Lip Lift, Gary Horndeski - Lake Jackson, TX

btw, I emailed the Dr a consultation not long ago and thanks to you people I'll never go to him. Really thank you.

Yea, I don't feel good at all. I just want to get one procedure that turns out good. I'm not really asking for much.

I just heard back from the office, they told me they might be able to do a revision for free. They also said they seen my "strange review". ??

Ma'am....the 5 star rating was based on the actual experience dealing with staff members, the initial appointment, scheduling... etc, not the results.Those are two separate things that need to be reviewed. They tried to make me happy. I gave the actual results and post-op experience a "Not Worth it Rating" because I truly feel like I did not get good results. My lips don't look any different. I was hoping for a more drastic change but I would have settled for something.....anything. I didn't get anything at all from this surgery. I'm not mad, just disappointed. I wrote a review on facebook and gave them a 1 star rating based solely on results, but I had to delete it. I hope they make it right though. I think there were some barriers in communication prior to going in and maybe it's my fault for not being assertive enough about what I wanted. I should have drawn a picture of how I wanted my lips to look or something. If they charge me full price to have a revision, I will pass, but if they offer a good deal on a revision than I will probably go back in soon. What I'm really hoping for is that they do it free of charge or give me a credit to use for dermal fillers or microdermabrasion. I know it might seem that I'm out to get free stuff, but that's not true. I truly believe I didn't get any results.

Just saw your review about your breast implants, sorry that you had to deal with that. You had them performed under local anesthesia? That is crazed. They didn't even give you any Auntie Em? (Morphine) lol. I didn't know that Dr Horndeski had his hospital privileges taken away, that is odd. Where else would he perform brow-lifts and stuff ? I'm thinking about getting a brow lift. That is next in the queue. I might not consider Dr Horndeska for that after the less than ideal outcome I had with lip lift. I don't think that brow lifts can be performed under local anesthesia. But then again, I had cheek implants performed under local anesthesia. That was nasty. I did not like it at all. But I told them to play 70's rock music really loud in the O.R. room. That helped kind of flood my senses so I wasn't concentrating on the discomfort I felt.

Hi AngelEyes, I am trying to message you but don't know how to do it, can't see the button for DM? Anyway want to wish you good luck and hope you've found another doctor who ca n fix the mess, you also should sue this "dr" [RS bleep] flesh or whatever hos name was, the results are freaking outrageous

well*

I don't know. I have to either do that or get a refund cause I'm literally looking in the mirror now as I'm typing and there's a 0% difference/improvement in my lips. Same shape, top lip is still very thin, corners are drooping downward. I called the office a while back and they said the doctor is out of the office until the 5th of October so I'm in limbo until then. I can't do anything but wait. I'm hoping they will let me do the revision free of charge, but...I doubt it. I've donated a lot of money to the plastic surgery industry over the years. lol. I guess the one good thing about this situation is that, at least it wasn't botched, no results are better than really bad results, and for that I am grateful...but I'm an over-achiever, and spectacular results are what I strive for. I've seen people who have had the same amount of surgeries that I've had and they look like Creature from the Black Lagoon. I still look normal, thank God. I see people who are really botched and I just take solace in the fact that that will never be me.

No, I don't want to post photos. I'm not sure how much skin was excised. I'm guessing not enough. lol.

Yeah, staff members who work at plastic surgeon offices are trained to label any patient that is dissatisfied with results as mentally unwell or suffering from Body Dysmorphic Disorder. It is their way of sweeping under the rug any patient who has an undesirable outcome. It is very wrong. What I don't like is the embarrassment. You get the surgery and end up looking all puffy with visible stitches, people see you and stare, then the swelling goes down and you are left with no results, and that's even more embarrassing. It's like the look on their face is..."Plastic surgery doesn't work, thanks for reminding me." I don't like the guilt either. The money guilt. You spend all that money, and when you get no results, you all of a sudden think of all the other things that you could have spend the money on and actually got something in return for it. I could have spent that 3000 dollars to get a new wardrobe, and I'm in desperate need of new clothes cause I spent all my money...*cough*...wasted it all on surgery.

Oh trust me. I'm never getting surgery again. The only surgery I will get from here on out will be attempts to reverse the surgeries that I had. I wasted 38,000 dollars on surgery since 2013. I got scammed into wasting all that money and now all I have to show for it are scars. That's the first thing I think about when I wake up and the last thing I think about before going to bed. It's hard to live with. Just terrible. Good Luck.
