Beware - I regret ever letting him touch my face

ORIGINAL POST

Beware

$9,000
Please save yourself the misery. He is a charmeur, but his work is subpar. Had a mini face lift that he calls "The one stitch". It's in no way a one stitch lift. It is is essentially a mini lift under local anesthesia that was VERY painful. Left me a more jowls and dents on my cheeks. My scars are awful, he did not do a great job stitching me properly. I have called his office several time to do a follow up and no one will return my calls. I regret ever letting him touch my face. I want my old face back. I have spent an extra 5,000 trying to fix what he's done.

Hi, do you think you could post a picture of the scar? Or maybe describe how big the scar is and where is located? I've been trying to see what the scars look like, but in the 'after' pictures, the scar is always conveniently hidden by hair.

I read that this doctor had problems in the past with the board, however, since it seemed that he was the only surgeon offering this procedure, I still was interested despite knowing this. But if instead of a one stitch lift it's more like a mini lift, I'll pass.

Thank you and I'm so sorry you had to go through this experience.
the name of the doc is not here?
