Avoid this Dr. at all costs. There are many better Drs. You can actually trust your face to. My face looks the same and in some places, worse than it did before. I am having to pay another dr, for a redo. He couldn't believe I had had a lift! Breaks my heart to come up with that money again. Jowly and neck sags under my chin, sags around my mouth-just excessively frustrating and heartbreaking to have to go thru the surgery and recovery again with a better Dr.

Yeah, a total waste of my time and hard-earned money -- I wanted injections for shallow scars but instead conceded to sculpting with Radiesse, and I look no different on the second day, certainly no better in my estimate, and no relatives can even see that anything was done. Again, my objective was not sculpting -- I went for injections for scarring. I should have known better than to see if he would now inject the scars when he wouldn't two years ago, which I don't understand because he had injected the scars on several occasions before 2014. He wanted to do what I stupidly allowed him to do yesterday. Beware of doctors who want to do something else other than what you want.

I unfortunately had injections from him and he did way more areas than the one I wanted-ended up costing thousands of dollars for what typically cost me $800.

Did you find another plastic surgeon, I hope? More people need to be reading this site than the reviews on Google and Yelp.

Not yet-have to save up the money & meanwhile need a new car,etc. I could have bought a Mercedes with the money I threw away at Dr. Godin's. I truly feel I was conned by lies,lies,lies. Hard to get over giving someone that much money for something and come out looking worse than before. I doubt he cares. He and his aide, R., may simply want people to have to come back and pay more money for redos and major touchups. I feel badly for people who will be victimized in the future. In my opinion, what's going on is criminal and not simply being played a fool.

And state medical boards, the Dept. of Health Professions, I find worthless since they're comprised of doctors policing doctors. Really? I don't think any restitution or justice can be achieved without litigation, sad to say. I know, that's a pain in the ass, too.

I wouldn't go by the list of docs in Best of Richmond either. Best to look docs up on Internet, and then check their names on this site,etc.

You can email his assistant that you are unhappy with the work, and plan to sue. His attorney will get in touch with you and you list what is wrong and what you disliked about the surgery/lies/trainee doing the work, etc. He then speaks with Godin and the attorney will make a $ offer to you, which is usually half the cost,and if u agree, the attorney mails u the papers to sign and the check.

Also, I now have the Tyndall Effect (bluish tint) along with the dissatisfaction with the Radiesse injections. I called his office yesterday to mention this bluish tinge, and I was told it was bruising, which I knew was a crock, and I told him I had read previously about the bluish tinge effect. Unfortunately, I couldn't remember the injectables that provide this lovely effect. Supposedly, only hyaluronic acid injectables are culpable. Well, you can add Radiesse to that group despite the fact that it doesn't contain hyaluronic acid. And I have tried different combinations of makeup to conceal the blue, and thus far, I have been unsuccessful. I'm seeing another dr. in six days.

Perhaps Rad. wasnt actually used. I ended up with a pimple-looking thingie at one injection site. It was there for about 2 months. I can still feel a little bump there months later.
September 3, 2016
Exactly what I thought -- that maybe Radiesse wasn't used -- until today, when the blue has dissipated, perhaps along with the two vials. I see no evidence of any aesthetic enhancement. I will serve as a walking advertisement.

He want people to nominating him the Best Plastic Surgeon.This is a joke...He was more for the money..I just had my 2nd facelift where Dr. Godin did nothing ,..I am so happy with the second face lift..My Plastic Surgeon is the best and he knows what he is doing..not after the money. He is the greatest Plasic Surgeon ..in the United States.
He is Dr Matthew Bridges the best... he is locate in Midlothian Va...

I had Dr. Godin also the same thing happen to me. you can`t tell I had a facelift at all.
My neck looks bad sagging skin ..one eyebrow higher than the other. I have a anther ps and have to go through the same surgery. My new PS can`t believe I had a facelift.
I will have a redo June 6th 2017. I was charges 17000.00 . My new PS is doing so much more and charging me less. I have a great PS this time. Avoid Dr. Godin with your face at all cost.

Totally agree! The plastic surgeons I've seen have been very surprised when I say I had a facelift-and always ask me if the p.surgeon was board certified! I hope we've saved at least one person from going though this rip-off, not to mention scars for nothing!

Same thing happen to me with Dr. Godin you could not tell I had a facelift. My face was worse than before the first facelift.I I will post photos and let everyone see what I am talking about the first facelift I just have had my 2nd facelift on June 26,2017.. Its been 1 week I can see a great difference already. Believe me I did my research this time. I had chosen another PS out of town but I just did not feel comfortable so I had the 2nd one here in Midlothian Va. If I had listen to my gut feeling I would had never had the first facelift with Dr. Godin. I have the best PS any where around he is top notch and a great PS. I will post photos in a couple of weeks..Do your homework don`t go by views on the PS website you know they will put the best ones on there. word of mouth is best..Dont go by books that had been written all the stuff. Do your home work its your face

How do you like your new facelift? Who was your surgeon in Midlothian? I am desperate to get this mess he did corrected and need a full redo!
Thank you for sharing your experience!
