Subpar to Say the Least

Original8953
I had neck and chin liposuction (and labial folds) TWICE with Dr. Lavey. While he was always very professional and there was fat removed, of course, he left me with major turkey neck skin sag and uneven bumps. It has severely aged me. I was a youthful looking 39 when I had the procedure and now definitely look late 40s. I look thinner but it wasn't worth it. Lastly, after the first procedure, I went to him six months later, and he did not remember that he had already done the lipsuction. He suggested that I would benefit from the procedure, in fact. I told him he had performed it six months prior. He look startled and embarassed. He ended up re-doing it for free, but again, the results are sub-par. I have held off on posting this for four years, as I wanted to give it lots of time to heal and settle, but now I am constantly battling this issue--and short of a face lift, which I am too young for, not sure what I can do. Super bummed.

Dr. Lavey doesn't acknowledge his mistakes. Negative reviews seem to disappear. I have a similar experience including cover up and backdating of releases. I've spent a fortune attempting to fix Dr. Lavey's mistake on my face. No one has a perfect review. Warning Dr. Lavey makes mistakes and covers them up.

I think it's the doctor that failed. He's past his prime.

I couldn't agree more-time to go the medical board-yet unfortunately they've lost quite a bit of power through the AMA bribed.
