Fat Transfer to the Lower Face to Correct Excessive Buccal Fat Extraction. - London, GB

I hope to come to an amicable resolution with him, but if that doesn't happen then I'll be shouting it from the highest heights and it will really put the cat among the pigeons.
I'll also expect a sudden rush to my pages with new members saying I look "fine" and that their work with him was also fine (yet they'll probably not have posted a single review themselves).
I'm wise to that tactic so I'm putting this out now and you can nod and say "yep, she called it" if that happens!

People can message me to ask me though.

Sorry you're going through this Biene. I for one can see the lumps you are talking about and that's what I worry about with my own potential fat transfer should I decide to do it. I was under the impression that Dominic Bray was exceptional at correcting botched fat transfer results as i've heard his name mentioned many times amongst people who have had poor fat transfer results corrected by him. Have you had a chance to speak with him some more with regards to the dissatisfaction you continue to have as a result of your previous fat transfer?

Thanks James.
A pet hate of mine on this board is when someone clearly has something amiss and people comment that either they can't see what the person is talking about or "it's not that bad" and I always think "Oh, did the relevant surgeon send you?"! So it is heartening (in a way) that others see what I see.
I think Dominic wanted to see the results of the lift he has done for me to rectify my previous surgeon's work before tackling the fat transfer from my other surgeon (which I can understand and appreciate. Correction isn't a simple process).
I have a check up with Dominic next month so I'll ask him then. Being a perfectionist I don't think he'll let my results lay just as they are.
I hope that you don't end up with undulations like mine, it seems that fat transfer is a tricky beast and unpredictable​ too.

What resolution are you hoping to come to with your original fat transfer surgeon? Financial? Does this original surgeon deny the existence of a problem or is he just unable to fix it?

I think I know what surgeon did this to you and he is highly regarded - it's disconcerting for me to hear you mention that he too has those suspicious reviews from people who post once and disappear.

I'm hoping to work it out with him one way or another.
Obviously as I feel he has messed up twice (look at this and my buccal fat extraction review) I'm very cautious to let him work on me again as this is clearly not his field of expertise. However I do know that he has messed up another fat transfer patient (someone told me about seeing them crying and looking odd in his waiting room) so maybe he has experience in fixing his mistakes?
At the same time, I have a very good face surgeon in the shape of Dominic who I trust and would prefer to have him fix anything with his expertise.
I've not named my original surgeon yet so I've not had those suspicious reviews/comments, yet, but it is a tactic some do use (which I hate) and I've called it out on other reviews where I've seen it and reported it to Admin. I'm just preempting it now on my review as a deterrent of any nonsense, but I will totally call it out if it happens to me.

Thanks. It was a full SMAS face and neck lift with Dominic Bray.

Hi JCStevens. Sorry I missed your message. So you are looking for a neck up total overhaul! I totally empathise there. Finding the right surgeon is a bit like finding the right husband. The relationship is generally as expensive when broken down into cost per year too (joking, but only just). One big thing is that it needs to feel right. I saw a great many surgeons before selecting one for my rhinoplasty and while many on paper were equally qualified what is important is that they have a pure joie de vivre for what they do. I met some who it seemed were biding their time before collecting their pensions and were only interested in the quick and easy jobs (clearly no one can accuse me of being either quick or easy!) and so I was dismissed/rejected. You need to know that they can handle you at your worst, because believe me a facial freakout when you are swelling like a blatbas-beast needs to be handled with care. With my rhinoplasty surgeon I got one curtesy phone call from a withheld number and for the rest of the time I was on my own. With Dominic he was literally there at the end of the line and only a text away with any queries. That makes him a world apart from my 'old-school establishment' experience. Being that bit further away from London I would say that you may like to think of spending your first week of recovery close to your surgeon's base (which is probably Harley St as it planet revamp of the UK) and there are a number of cheaper hotels out of the W1 area (I'd suggest looking to W2 as it's only a few tube stops away, but not too cheap unless you want adjoining room ambience provided by ladies of the night!). Who ever you choose I wish you all the best and will love to follow your journey. Also if you need a recovery buddy then do shout me, having someone who's been through the looking glass helps!

Ah Thankyou bienemaya for you reply, most entertaining

No problem [RS bleep] :D

Hi again, did you get the full reply? It's only showing a snippet of what I wrote xx

Just a snippet (I'm guessing). This site has been super glitchy since the update.

Hi Luna, thanks for the compliments *blush*
You are totally right, with any true talented professional there must be passion for what they do. I made the mistake of thinking a surgeon's skills for one thing was transferable and it wasn’t (twice!).
If I can't get a resolution with my current surgeon then I will look to other options, so thanks for the tip.
