Creased brow area, one prolapsed brow & one slightly raised brow

CBinOregon
$401
I went in for a liquid brow lift with botox on July 3rd 2013. By one week I knew something was wrong. One eye brow was completely unmoved while the other was "Slightly" lifted. After more research I came to find out Dr. Jonov injected botox into the very muscles that would have LIFTED my eyebrows!. I called and went back in for an evaluation. He was ABSOLUTELY rude and hostile towards me then went on to INSULT me by saying the left part of my face was more aged than the right. Why on earth we were talking about my face instead of my eyebrows is beyond me. A full month later I still have a creased brow area, one prolapsed brow and one "slightly" raised brow. I have as of today called and asked for a refund so I can get this fixed....he has refused!

$400 waste of time and money. I'm SO disappointed with his horrible bedside manner and self righteous attitude.

I'm sorry to hear you weren't pleased with how things turned out. Do you think you will try Botox again, or has this kind of turned you off from it?

Hi Megan. Odd....I didn't choose "Not Sure" as my choice of if this procedure was worth it. I chose "No" It's too bad it shows otherwise on my review. My review is written as buyer beware regarding the physician. Botox itself is wonderful!

Glad you updated it! Just so you know, the Worth It Rating is for the procedure (in this case Botox), not the doctor. It is calculated into the main Worth It Rating on the Botox page. As you have seen, you are free to change your Worth It Rating to whatever you would like it to be, at anytime. :)

Dr. Jonov is only Board Certified with the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery. He is not a specialist in facial surgery. Any doctor who does breast augmentations, nose jobs to liposuction - who used to pull out wisdom teeth, I don't trust to touch my face. I had filler injections and he did a horrible job. I had to get the Juvederm removed because he filled my cheeks too much and there was a gap under my eyes where there was no filler. He doesn't have an artistic eye. He just does it by the books, where the product manufacturer says you should inject. In fact he showed me a video from the company and told me he would inject exactly in the same place that was shown in the video. Everyone's problem areas are different and you should choose an injector that is good. I've had nurses inject me that have been fabulous and I've had doctors that have been terrible. A doc is not necessarily the best to inject. There are two facial plastic surgeons that I recommend: Dr. Naficy in Bellevue - check out his credentials - that's a real plastic surgeon and Dr. Gaboriau in Sammamish. Dr. Gaboriau injected Radiesse and Belotero under my eyes, which is a real delicate area that you don't want to trust to just anyone - especially a poser like Dr. Jonov.

Dr. Jonov BUTCHERED me in 2007. He performed a lower wisdom teeth extraction in which the teeth were impacted. They were close to the nerves, so I told him if the teeth were too difficult to get out, to stop the surgery as I didn't want to risk nerve damage. Guess what happened? Well, BOTH sides of my face, from lower jaw to lips are 100% numb due to him severing the Aveolar nerves. I can stick a needle in my chin and lips and not feel it. I had to relearn how to say words with the sound "F" in them and can't feel a kiss. My lip and chin feel like there are weights on them, kind of like after anesthesia from the dentist wears off. I was in such a deep depression from this. I went back to him after the surgery, crying, and he was so cruel and uncaring. He snapped at me for being upset. I should have sued, but I had a daughter who had a medical illness and had to focus on her for the next 3 years. I regret not suing the living daylights out of him. AND NOW??? People go to him for PLASTIC SURGERY? Get real - he is NOT a board certified plastic surgeon!!!!

Bad Injector Bad policies Terrible waste of money and time

Have called twice asking for a refund, He refuses. Has offered to "Fix" it which would now be the "Third" time.

Not a chance.

I have asked for my money back repeatedly, he flat refuses.

ALSO : Well over a year ago I had a shoddy injection of Radiesse done by Dr. Jonov as well. This also went badly and I was promised a full FREE syringe of Radiesse.

This "Free" Syringe of Radiesse Never came about. I believe this Dr. Is a scam.

More Disappointed Clients

Since my review here I've had several women contact me regarding their own experiences with Dr. Jonov. This man appears to be wreaking havoc all over the place. How does he stay in business?? I'm currently working with another woman to bring other victims together.

This is crazy!! Dr. Jonov is the best of the best. The absolute best. He is known in his industry for being the best. If you have issues with the aging of your face then just accept it. In my opinion, there is no one better then Jonov and I have realatives that travel from other states to see him.

Please contact me - I would be happy to give my testimonial. He needs to be sued and lose his license. Dr. Jonov BUTCHERED me in 2007.
