I am writing this review hoping to at least save one person from the roller coaster I've been going through. I had the misfortune of having a lip lift procedure performed by Dr.Horndenski based on his good reviews online. I did not research thoroughly as if you do, you'll be able to find many patients that have been scarred and misdiagnosed by him as well as the lawsuits brought up against him. I now have two big scars around my nose that I am very self-conscious about as you would be too. He is careless and rude - and so is his staff. They disappeared as soon as the procedure was over and I could not get a hold of the nurse. At one point as I was swollen and asking about the swelling she even turned around and said "well isn't that what you wanted?" I will take responsibility for the fact that I should've done my research. So please please do yours and avoid the trouble I've been going through.

I'm so sorry you went through such a difficult time. It's frightening to get an uncaring doctor when you are already nervoys about a procedure. I'm sorry but I have to ask since they are not labled... Are the first photos before or after your surgery?

When was surgery and what is it that you dont like?

Can you not see the scars around the nostrils?

They are all after surgery.

The end result, other than the scars, is beautiful. The scars themselves can be treated with laser resurfacing, I think. It's too bad you have to do that extra step. I ended up with a scar under one nostril with my lip lift, but I always run around with two or three days of beard growth, so the scar is not noticeable.

I received failed lip lift procedure by Dr. Horndeski in 2015 too. My scars were far worse than yours. The procedure left an open hole on my left face and therefore I went through more than one revision surgeries later. He is the most irrepressible and disgraceful human being I have ever met. I could not see any professionalism and kindness on him. He has no mercy for his patients. He places all blame and poor outcomes on the patients.

Same with me as far as scarring and nostril distortion. Do you have a before pic so we can see if he cut your sills off ?
I'm so sorry this happened and thank you for your honest review!

Hmmm. You look beautiful before, and even mores, after this surgery.

i just looked at all the photos and she didn't put a before pic up. you can see scars in every pic. it's only thin because swelling went down. she said it's 1yr post.
