Provider Review
My initial perception was positive because he is experienced with silicone and I thought he would be a good fit. I traveled out of state for this reason. I booked a month ahead, took time off work, and started to prepare. I had questions about pre and post op care and called the office and emailed the doctor. No instructions or packet were given to me. No one responded until 1 day before the procedure. It was a nurse calling between surgeries who was clearly rushed and brief. On the day of the procedure I received a message that an anesthesiologist was on site and I need to call back to let them know if I wanted to go under. It cost $600 extra. The doctor previously recommended local anesthesia and I was confused why it was being changed at the last minute. I am glad I went through with it though because 1.5 hour of watching people work on your face didn't seem pleasant. When I got there the doctor told me I might need more than one surgery to fix my lip. While I appreciate the honesty it would have been better to hear that at the consult rather than right before going into surgery. I understand its permanently in the lips, however I hadn't planned on multiple surgeries. I started feeling uncertain and nervous. I went through with it anyway because I thought I was in good hands. Overall, pre and post weren't smooth because I was not well informed in advance and felt rushed. When I went to checkup the day after and 8 days post I was assured I'm doing great and not to worry. Currently, it's day 9 the stitches are still in, still swollen, and still asymmetrical. The dr says 10 days are required for recovery. I'm trying to be patient. I will save star rating until the healing is complete.
