Consultation review - False Hope with Susan and Dr. Harrison Lee

ORIGINAL POST

Hello everyone, still going through this Silicon...

$2,642
Hello everyone, still going through this Silicon nightmare after 1yr and 1/2. Scheduled a consult with Dr. Harrison Lee in New York City last Monday. His office manager Susan over the phone assured me that he will be able to help me and was so SURE that she booked surgery the next day, Tuesday! I was so excited that this poison, that was injected over 6 years, would be out of my face and then the weird eczema like reactions on my face would be gone. I booked my flight $250,paid for MRI $250 and lab work $304, and hotel for two weeks $2,000. On appointment day, Dr. Harrison took one look at me and said there was nothing he could do for me and couldn't get me out of the office fast enough! He just stated I should go to an Immunologist.... I don't even think he looked at the MRI Disk because his Mac computer was not compatible. All that expense for nothing. It was really heart breaking. I feel his office manager should apologize for all the work and expense I had to go through only to be turned away. Also, the other dark haired receptionist was very rude. Where is the compassion ladies? My advice to Dr. Harrison Lee would be to hire nurses or other women trained in the medical profession so at least the patient/potential patient would be treated with dignity, respect, knowledge and kindness.
This whole ordeal gave me false hope and all the expense was un-nessessary.

OMG! thank you so much for your reply. I guess I dodged that bullet! I feel sorry for your bad experience with him. Can another surgeon fix the problem? You could send a demand letter and try to get your money back if it's within the statue of limitations....
You dodged a very big bullet and God was def watching over you. That 2k you lost is actually a blessing. I wish I was so fortunate however, I became a victim of bad plastic surgery and now dealing with this deformity. It's scary how a few hours of surgery can completely destroy one entire life. I have been going to therapy just to deal. I'm sorry you're going through such a tough time, I understand the struggle.
Did you ever get your website going, if so may i have the site address?
I am in the process of setting up a website educating people on the risk of plastic surgery as well as other information regarding health, beauty and fitness. This whole experience has open up my eyes on the greed, carelessness, and the shadiness that goes behind bad plastic surgery. It's a shame and people need to be exposed. Not just the surgeons but how the staff handles the situation. If you notice, the staff is only nice in the beginning, once they receive your payment and if things go wrong, you are treated like a piece of garbage. I am tired of being lied to. If they think patients will just disappear they have another thing coming. They shitted on the wrong person.
Planning fin seeing dr dubrow for revision surgery
hi, i am so sorry to hear that he did that to you. It is may be for the best, there are other docs who remove silicone. i read that dr kassir does it. Lately Dr Lee has gotten a lot of bad reviews.
Hi, yes my friend had a full facelift with him recently and it didn't turn out well at all. She had to go to another doctor to fix! Thanks for the suggestion. I will check out Dr. Kassir!
yes check him out! he is in ny and i know for a fact he removes silicone from the face. he also has very good reviews. I am going to take an appointment bc i cannot remove voluma and i am starting to wonder. Did you get your mri back fm dr lee? bring that to the consultation because you will need it for hi. to see where the silicone is. Keep me posted!!
Your friend had a facelift with dr Lee??? You should've cautioned her!!
She had it before I knew of him or I would have of course.
My friend had the surgery before I knew who he was.



I would have cautioned her but I didn't know of Dr. Lee at the time. I got his info from someone on real self who had a better result a year after....
Did he cause her any nerve damage or scarring?
Where does she live? If she's in California, then she should consult with Dr. Ben Talei-he's in Beverly Hills.
There's another surgeon in NYC whose a bit on be pricey side-he's a class act and a true artist. Sterling in all aspect.
That's very unfortunate. What damage did he cause her?
