I researched for a least a year read lots of reviews . I decided to go with James Mcadoo that's when my nightmare started . The day after my surgery I was in the emergency room with a staff infection and severely deformed surgery. I truly believe he has no idea what he is doing and truly does not care about the outcome of the surgery. I have been in the worst pain of my life waiting to get my scar revision and facelift revision for the last 4 days. Tomorrow Nov.11 I will be doing my revision with a real plastic surgeon that knows and cares about what he does. This has cost me $15,000 something I hadn't planned for however if I want to feel better and recover it has to be done . This is the worst pain I have ever felt in my life a severe burning, throbbing intense pain ,with a pounding heading and my ears are hurting so bad . I spoke with Dr.Mcadoo and he really does not care what I am going through I guess he feels untouchable. Ladies do not waste your time or money on these people. They truly do not care about your outcome as long as they have their money their on to the next victim. I was severely deformed by this facelift.

That is so awful. I didn't even know this doctor did facelifts. Had you seen the results of other patients he did facelifts on?
November 12, 2015
I saw a few results. They said he was their best at facelifts. I know he doesn't know what he is doing.
November 11, 2015
Oh wow. ..!!! I pray for a speedy recovery and glad you let everyone know what he did.
November 12, 2015
So sorry about your suffering! I will pray for you. If you need to vent please feel free to message me. Good luck!

robinblair, twice you have made false statements regarding my certification, I suggest you read my last response and exercise caution in the future.
November 24, 2015
he is not certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ASPS)
November 24, 2015
Correct
April 14, 2016
Excuse my ignorance but I'm not in USA but what does it mean if you're not certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery? Does that mean you're not registered or not properly qualified or what?
April 15, 2016
I believe so ,however I think their still allowed to do surgeries.

What she said is NOT making a false statement... Maybe you need to do what you keep suggesting some of these other ladies do.. If you specialize in teeth that's what you need to stick with.. It's because of doctors like you that gives "surgery" a bad name... If this was the first time it would be one thing, but good gosh it's not..It takes a strong woman a long time to over come the emotional trauma caused by just what you did. What did you think she'd do, give you a good rating?

Revision facelift

Ms_dimples3371
My revision was done and went well . There were so many things done wrong with the facelift James McAdoo did. Here is a picture of how it looked. There is also a picture of the suture needles Dr. McAdoo left inside me. I am recovering and Dr.Taghizadeh did an amazing job considering what he had to work with.

Thank God you found yourself in good hands now! I am praying you recover and get your health back. I am so disappointed in your first doctor that words can't express it. Try to rest and heal. Please keep posting as others need to know that there can be complications and doctors make errors. For the doctor to leave you in such a condition is unforgivable. So sorry you have gone through this. My surgery was easy and still it was an ordeal I can not imagine the suffering you have had to deal with.
November 16, 2015
Very sorry to read about your experience. I am glad the revision went well and that you will be okay.
November 16, 2015
You poor thing, I truly feel for you best of luck and I hipe all goes well for you. My heart goes out to you as we do this because we cannot look in mirror before and to have this happen is unforgivable . But good you tell others to keep away. I was lucky and had a great surgeon
November 16, 2015
Hope your healing goes well. Prayers and good thoughts sent your way.
November 16, 2015
I'm so sorry you had that experience. Please keep us updated with your recovery. Were the suture needles left in accidentally ?
November 17, 2015
I don't know but it's pretty shocking and horrible. He sewed me up and left that inside me.

Wow amazing how the Dr. Has the nerve to lie . I Never spoke with him after my surgery and Never removed my garnet to fly back. My garnet was removed in the Emergency room exactly 24 hours after my surgery. The doctor that removed my garment found chunks of my skin that was removed wrapped up in my garment. Keep posting lies Dr.McAdoo I have Plenty of proof of the Damage you have done and pictures to prove it. You even had a patient die on you. It's obvious you have No Business doing any kind of surgery.

I was interested in using Dr. McAdoo for my BBL but after seeing your results I am very scared!! Did he really have a patient die?? Can you please give me more information on this?
December 2, 2015
Yes he told me he did a tummy tuck on an over weight women. She got a blood clot and died. It's the biggest mistake I've ever made. Letting Dr.McAdoo touch me . I have been miserable, in pain and major scars. Instead of looking refreshed I look scary.
December 2, 2015
I would seriously think twice about doing any type of surgery there. I don't think they use tumescent fluid in their liposuction procedures and that's why so many people have lots of blood loss. It's Not common to have blood loss with liposuction unless it is done wrong.
December 3, 2015
Hi wanted you to know I was thinking of you. I hope you are doing well and healing from your surgery. Prayers are still being sent up for you. If you can let us know in a general what how you are and what is going on with you and your recovery.
February 9, 2016
There's no way you could fake those horrific photos. This doctor should be sued. Hopefully people will read your post before choosing him.
April 7, 2016
Thank you. That's so true and the Dr. claims it because I removed my garment and didn't follow instructions. That's ubsurd the damage was done already . He left chunks of skin and all the bloody gauze wrapped up in my garment also ,unfortunately I didn't think of taking pictures of them. I was just shocked at all the damage . I looked like a monster.
April 7, 2016
did you report him
April 7, 2016
Yes I did
April 7, 2016
Yes he told me himself that a patient died but he talked it over so well that he blamed her for her own death. He should of known better and not to operate on her , her bmi was very high . The other Doctors would not touch her but he did. He did a tummy tuck on her. I was just so desperate to get my surgery that I blocked it all out. The price was to good and there were so many signs for me not to do it . I flew there and did not won't to lose the money I had already paid so I did it. Biggest mistake ever.
April 7, 2016
Hello, Thank you I'm getting better slowly. It is aways a discomfort. I never feel well ,it hurts daily . I can never wear my hair back or wear earrings. In 2 years I can have it redone to try and remove the scarring and clip my ears so they don't look so long and wierd.
