Very bad and painful experience with a below average outcome
courteous, but dismissive if u had any complaints regarding what he had done or your ur ourcome.
I was left heavily bruised after upper blepharoplasty and nose tip correction. My left eye was scratched and hurt like crazy, my uvula ( throat ) was badly bruised and swollen, but he still relegated me to his right hand man instead of caring himself for me himself.
But all of that would have been forgiven if the outcome was satisfactory! it wasn't.
My eyelids were done assymetrically and now one of my eyes looks slghtly bigger than the other as the eyelid is wider. My nose is also assymeyrical which really shows on photographs!
I will not recommend dr Frankel. He is money motivated and hides it well.
Will not recommend!

Can I see pictures of your result? Strongly considering this doctor and would be very interested to see what has you so upset.

Same here! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. If you could share pictures would be highly appreciated. Thank you so much.

I'm so sorry to hear about your experience :( it's such blind luck even with the 'best' doctors. I hope you can find a great doctor to fix this mess. I am also strongly considering Dr. Le in Baltimore.

Just to clarify as people have been contacting me, when I said 'same here!' I was referring to the reply below, as in I am also considering a revision with Frankel. I have not had my revision with him yet and I was not referring to any results. Sorry for the confusion!

I had my eyelids done with Dr. Franked last December and I am really happy with his work. I am sorry to hear you are unhappy with your results.

Perhaps you were lucky in that he didn’t have an intern to practice on you like he did with me

i also had a terrible experience with him. he did a lot i didn't consent to and it looks awful. i am going into the center in october to ask what exactly he did so i can pay another surgeon to repair me. i'm so depressed. every time i call they won't return my calls.
