My Experience Was Abysmal and I Hope This Review Helps Someone Avoid the Difficulties That I Have Encountered.

KathyFox
On June 7th Dr. Charafeddine performed a neck lift. The next day, when the drains were removed, I felt extremely dizzy and the doctor said he would facetime me that night to see if I was okay. He did not contact me. On one of my final visits he stated that there was no bruising but there was bruising down my right cheek and, when I asked why, he said "I wonder why". He did not provide any insight or any means to correct.

I now have nerve damage and am extremely uncomfortable. I do not feel like Dr. Charafeddine cared about my progress or any damage that he might have caused. During one visit he said that if the discomfort did not go away I should reach out to one of his esteemed colleagues.

My recommendation is to do a lot of research before engaging Dr. Charaffedine as nerve damage cannot be undone.

Recent calls with Dr. Charaffedine

On November 11th I had a zoom call meeting with Dr. Charaffedine. He does not believe there is nerve damage but is going to schedule a meeting for me with another local plastic surgeon so that I can get a second opinion. I will post another update once I've received a second opinion.
