In February of 2015 Dr. Scott Green from the Plastic Surgery Center of Sacramento and Roseville, performed a rhytidectomy, SMAS, platysmalplasty, upper and lower lid blepharoplasty, endoscopic brow lift, fat grafting. In layman’s terms, a face lift, upper and lower eyelids, a brow lift, and fat transfer to fill out my face. There were problems right away after surgery. One side of the brow lift popped off the endotine, and there was severe scarring behind both ears. I also noticed that my upper lids were still very saggy. Dr. Green wanted me to wait until the swelling subsided to discuss my concerns. I waited 4 months and instead of any of the problems resolving themselves, they got worse, plus new problems arose. I have had 2 second opinions and each has verified my concerns, yet Dr. Green refuses to do any revisions except to try to improve the scarring behind my ears and remove a small amount of excess skin from my upper eyelids. As you can see from my photograph my brows remain uneven, I have a lot of excess skin on my upper lids, I now have large, puffy bags under my eyes, my mid-face sags due to the skin not being pulled evenly which has created horizontal lines near my mouth, one side of my face is much hollower than the other side, and I have very bad scars behind my ears. I have seen other before and after pictures of Dr. Green’s work, and I have a friend who had a successful facelift. I believe he can be a skilled surgeon, but if his work falls short, he refuses to do the necessary revisions. In addition, he refuses to take responsibility, blames the patient, and tries to pressure and intimidate you into agreeing with him. If you have had any similar problems with Dr. Green, please contact me

How is that your fault?

Unfortunately, there are some doctors out there that don't stand behind their work.

I'm very sorry that this happened to you.
Seems like these expensive surgeons are quite arrogant and take no responsibility.
My ps lies. And he is supposed to be one of the best facelift ps in the country according to several sources. He is not. Unfortunately he disfigured me big time. I was willing to pay big sum for just little work I needed to be done. He did not listen. He violated my neck, jaw, fats etc.

Strangest thing is that my breasts and nipples have lost most of sensation when I was at their facility and also have holes missing fat in other places...

Did he perform a laser treatment on you?

I had the exact same experience with him. My problems arose after fat transfer. He would not address them. I've since seen a PS in Newport Beach who has explained the problems with the technique and incisions for the face lift, and placement for the fat transfer. I'm so very sorry you've experienced this. I know exactly what it feels like to look in the mirror every day and be absolutely horrified with what's happened. I will say, the doc in Newport has give me a little hope that it's fixable, but it will probably require a revision face lift which is very distressing and of course costly.
