If I could give 0 stars, I would.
On September 26, 2023, I had a horrific experience following a neck lift procedure with Dr Robert Scott Yarish at Town and Country Plastic Surgeons + Medspa here in Houston. I should’ve known when my consult and surgery day was 4 days apart AND THEN- morning of surgery, surgeon comes in and opens my gown and starts touching my breast, as if they were about to do a breast procedure
Excessive skin excised, indention and puckering on the lower jaw, horrible pixie ear,(scars are very noticeable in front and behind my ears and on one side, I’m now experiencing pain that feels like pulling and a burning sensation at times, my platysma bands in the center looked extremely large and protruding from being sewn together (kenalog was injected bc I was told it could be scar tissue, but now, there’s loose skin afterwards) and the scars in the back of my head are so awful, in which I believe is a result of missed stitches. I could barely lay on my back because of the pain it was causing. When going to the office I was told by the surgeon that they were ingrown hairs in my scar. I could feel the stitches - they clearly were not hairs.
Dr Yarish wanted to fix pixie ear and the indention on the side of my face and said we may have to go up a little higher because there wasn’t enough skin. When I asked about symmetry on the other side, I was told that there wasn’t a guarantee and we could address that later. He wanted to do this procedure IN THE OFFICE, not the surgery center (free of charge) but I was told by other reputable surgeons not to touch ANYTHING for at least 6 months, so I said I wanted to wait. I was terrified at this point. Dr Yarish made it well known to me through personal text and in person of his displeasure of me speaking with another plastic surgeon. As a result, I have been basically blamed for a lot of issues I am now experiencing.
I have had consultations for repair that have ranged in price from $40-$185k.
After I posted this as a warning to other people, I was contacted via text from the Director, Diane. Her solution was to have Dr Yarish’s business partner and fellow surgeon, Dr Erica Bartlett do a revision at no extra cost. When I declined, she offered a refund, in which I declined because the damage from this procedure is now thousands of dollars more because of his negligence and incompetence.
I was a long time patient, so I automatically trusted them. BIG MISTAKE
