Fred Adair Blackledge/Blackledge Face Center Jackson, MS

I contacted Blackledge Face Center, Fred Adair Blackledge & requested a refund and was ignored. This doctor has ruined my life. I have constant nerve pain, I can’t go out in public without people staring and/or commenting about my scars. I am living a constant hell because this man has no clue what he is doing. He is not a plastic surgeon, he is an ENT. Please stay far away from this place. You have been warned.

I had an ent for mine too. Liars. . He advertised as plastic but I guess it’s legal to lie now. My scarring was just like yours, only behind my ears I dehisced. I got keloids, numbness , tingling , intense pain.. and I am 2 1/2 yrs out. I did pt, pain treatments, Botox injections, acupuncture etc and now I’m on pain medication. I had one post op surgery to fix the neck scarring and hopefully the pain. The REAL plastic surgeon found a sebaceous adenoma ( a cyst with neck skin and hair in the right side of my neck).She did a wonderful job, but I need one more surgery, and hopefully the pain will end. I don’t want to live on pain meds the rest of my life.

Nightmare

I will be having surgery to fix the scars on my face, eyes, & behind my ears. I will also be getting a real facelift & neck lift with muscle tightening. I have had 2 in-person consults with a plastic surgeon & will have 1 more consult in July to schedule the surgery. This has been an extremely rough journey that I do not wish on anyone! I cannot stress enough….please do your research! I thought that I had done research but obviously I did not do enough. Don’t be a tight A$$ like me & try to save a dollar at the expense of your face! The emotional & medical expenses that I have incurred by going to Adair Blackledge have far surpassed what I saved by not going with a “Real Plastic Surgeon” …. Go with a board certified, reputable plastic surgeon. It is your face after all and the decision to have plastic surgery was made to improve your looks & self esteem not to make you appear to have lost a street fight with a dull knife. I have avoided friends & family for months since my surgery because of my appearance & embarrassment. For those of you that had a great experience with great results, I am extremely happy for you. I do believe that there are very few of you & that the number of people with horrible results strongly outway the ones with great ones. I do think that Dr. Blackledge is a super great guy but he should really just stick to injections & facials & lose the knife.

Oh no! I went to see him and one his employees happily showed me her scars behind her ears. I was mortified that she was okay with them! Maybe he did hers for free (I hope)! I got some filler in my lip and he was in the room under 2 minutes! I hope you find someone great. I’m going to check out Dr. Jeffery Joseph in Lafayette, LA
Maybe that was her way of telling if you not to allow him to do it. The first time I called, Teresa answered. She was getting my info for him to return my call for a consult. I asked her if he did Deep Plane, and she said she didn’t know what that meant and she doesn’t know our “lingo”. Thinking back in that, I wonder if she was telling me no without actually saying no. There were so many enormous red flags!
Contact me, I’ve had similar issues.
How do I contact you?
Good Luck sweetheart
He destroyed your face, hope you can find a competent surgeon to repair his awful work.
I am 7 weeks out and have similar scarring behind my right ear and with what appears to be broken capillaries behind my left ear. I am broken hearted reading about your experience! I am so very tender behind my ears and along my neck, just thought I needed more time. Will not recommend him
