Lumpy, dented, irregular liposuction & botched lip lift, tip-plasty & earlobes

Well if it isn’t Mr. Haworth himself. But of course it is. While you cannot be bothered to check on your patients’ when they have complications, or to see if they’re satisfied with their results, you’re here with bells on when it comes to your own self-interest/self promotion. Your letter is quite entertaining; perhaps you’ve missed your true calling as a paperback writer? Yes, I’ve had surgeries that left some irregularities prior to seeing you, though I am not referring to those irregularities, but to those that are a direct result of your work, which is why I didn’t use up the limited space/words in my review to give a complete medical history. Parts of my body that had never been touched by a surgeon, like my lower back, are now dented and gouged by your sloppy, unskilled liposuction work. Areas that had minor irregularities, like my stomach, that you were so confident you could improve upon, now have major irregularities, gouges, and scars that look far worse than they did before. The facial scar that existed before pales in comparison to the one that you left me with. When a surgeon takes on a patient, pronouncing his ability to achieve the stated goals, fully aware of the case before him, and promotes himself as an “artist”, does the patient not have a reasonable expectation to see an improvement? You destroyed the unmarred areas and made the areas that needed correction much worse. This is not a matter of minor imperfections or a surgeon having “a bad day”, this is bad work, period. My having had previous work does not excuse these horrific results. Furthermore, you showed absolutely no interest in how your work turned out. You excuse this by saying that many of your out of town patients “don’t show up for their follow up appointments”. While this may or may not be true in general, it certainly wasn’t in my case. I had a scheduled post op apt by phone that you did not keep, did not reschedule, nor did you or anyone from your office apologize for breaking. When I developed a large seroma post-op and called your office, you didn’t even have the decency to call me yourself, instead you passed me off to another doctor whom I’d never met. This appalling degree of ambivalence showed me exactly how much you care about your patients. I wonder if you have any clue how bad your work really is if you never follow up. As far as your assertion that “any reasonable person” would call you to let you know about the results, what exactly would that accomplish? You’d already shown me exactly how interested you were in my results, and the damage has been done. I would never go back to someone who’d managed to botch every procedure so horribly, nor did I expect someone so clearly interested in marketing and making money to offer me any kind of a refund. Honestly, I saw no point in speaking to you then, nor do I see the point now. As for your claim that I and other posters have a “curiously obsessive knowledge of what gets written about me on the web, including what posts get deleted, what they said, how many were removed, etc.”, don’t flatter yourself. All it takes is one quick look at the previous page, which shows that 13 false positive reviews have been removed. Given that the only person with an interest in writing false positives would be you and your trusty staff, it is clear that you have lied and actively tried to misrepresent yourself. Once you’ve done that, you’ve lost all credibility as you’ve shown yourself to be a dishonest person. None of your positive reviews can be trusted when you’ve been caught writing them yourself, so you put the nail in your own coffin on that one. On the flip side, I have a hard time believing in the “conspiracy theories” spouted by your “online defenders” ahem staff. that people would write negative reviews about you to try to damage your reputation for no reason. Come on. Pretty far fetched. There are many doctors out there with much better reputations, and nobody is out there trying to ruin them for no reason. Interestingly, they’re not out there trolling the web, trying desperately to control content either. In my case, I simply wanted to share my own personal experience in the hope that it might save someone else from having to go through this, only to have my posts disputed/removed, and replaced by more staff specials. So that is all I have to say, take what you will from it. I sincerely hope you find a new line of work because you are not doing the world any favors in your current position.

I think that your response is typical of docs who when confronted with complaints or asked questions about them, blame the patient for bad outcomes. For example, women who SAY they gained weight after the procedure are told: Lipo is no excuse for "pigging out" (yes, those exact insulting words). Now from you it is: The patient didn't tell about pre-existing conditions. While that is an important issue; maybe you should not have operated on someone with pre-existing conditions that were beyond your scope. If someone looks worse after surgery than before something is wrong here. Next, the problem with lipo is that most docs do not understand the biology of fat. And so they suck it out and destroy people's bodies. They don't ask for follow ups further out than 6 months. The bad results happen after that. To address your point about patients now coming back to discuss these bad results. There are reasons for that: being blamed by the physician for the results; being told she is pigging out and gaining weight; shame; fear of confronting a doctor (read: authority figure). Let me ask you: Would you refund money for bad results? Because if I hire a carpenter and he messes up my walls, he will give me a refund if I complain about it. If he doesn't I have a recourse (BBB) but with doctors, patients don't have any recourse. Consider this: a lipo procedure on the abdomen and flanks can cause many future complications (drooping sagging skin, enlarged breasts, arms, thighs etc). To "revise" any of these problems will cost 4 times what the original procedure cost. Would you consider paying for that? Would you go into mediation with an unhappy patient? It's easy to say: We are just human. While that is true, docs should say that in the consultation and show potential customers photos of bad outcomes; not just the post op photos at 3 months. What do you think? Do you think there are ways that plastic surgeons can "Do No Harm"?

I believe this response is typical of a narcissistic individual who mistakenly believes that the "public at large" are being "deceived" as a result of Seattle's review, even though the "public at large" really could not give less of a s____ about some this BH plastic surgeon who clearly needs to reread chapter 1 of his Lipo For Dummies manual.

I'm confused.. How could prior surgery on her nose and lip cause her butt to fall down??..

Too funny Afnav! I have actually just created a new review showing the photos of the facial surgery... There is NO excuse for any of these results. The fact that he actually charges people for this is beyond all comprehension.

I live on the East coast and would never consult with Dr. Haworth. I was giving him an opportunity to at least reply in an ethical manner. I have already met his "twin" who butchered me so badly I will not let my plastic surgeon even attempt to improve his work even if free which he has not offered any type of touch up or refund.....do any of them refund or repair? I think your new doctor has really helped your body....looks good. Is he going to try and repair your top lip? Unfortunately I do not have the money for fixing my botched work. Good look on future work.

JessieR and Rhonda, You have no idea! After having such a horrific experience that has been more difficult than I can ever adequately put into words, interestingly, mostly psychologically, being personally attacked by this doctor and his staff is just icing on the cake. If you check out other doctor review sites, a very clear pattern emerges. 1) Every patient (and there are many) that posts a negative review of this "doctor" is repeatedly attacked by multiple posters, and 2) Mr. Haworth has large numbers of false positive reviews removed which shows that someone (gee I wonder who?) is fraudulently writing good reviews for him. Part of my pain is my own self-blame, as I did see some of these reviews before my surgery, and was actually getting cold feet. I spoke with Monica, Mr. Haworth's nurse about this and she assured me that there were two crazy patients that had been trying to discredit the doctor for years now. She said she'd worked with many doctors in the LA area and he was "the best". I fell for it. I gave them my money and they disfigured me. Now I guess I'm classified as one of the "crazy patients". If being upset over having someone destroy your looks makes you crazy, then I guess I am. Of course I hold a grudge, I can't think of anything more personal than this. I feel lied to, betrayed, and violated, but mostly I've had to look at what he did to me every day since it happened. I would give anything to go back in time and make a different choice, but since I can't do that, I just want others to know what happened to me so that hopefully, they can avoid my situation. Thanks for standing up for me by the way!

Your post is highly suspicious,you have one post and this is it; your language is very similar to that used in ads for these procedures ~ do you have photos? Do you work for this doctor? Why do you blame the victim of bad surgery rather than the doctor who received plenty of money from this person. As far as I see in life, most "mentally unstable" people don't hand out $20,000 and then complain for no reason. How would you screen your clientele if you were him? Would you first investigate if they had the bucks to do it? Then what? How about the doctor GIVE the patient $20,000 worth of treatment (which is an outrageous amount of money for this procedure! But I'm sure he drives a Mercedes, or BMW). If *I* were Dr. Haworth I would be ashamed for not treating this person properly and giving her bad results.

Pictures don't lie muzun, is this the work of a great surgeon? How about a decent surgeon? I don't think so. This is the work of someone with absolutely no skill whatsoever. Take your lies and attacks elsewhere. You should be ashamed of yourself for helping this monster to ensnare more victims. Karma will take care of people like you.

Thanks Renee and sg2012 :) I'll post again when I have something new to report.
