Scar Revision with Dr Sami Moubayed
I had a scar revision with Dr Moubayed 6 months ago for a scar that I have on my chin. The scar is now longer on top and bottom, I lost all the facial hair that I had below the scar and my chin is now asymmetrical. I tried addressing my concerns to Dr Moubayed regarding the contour of my chin on multiple occasions but my concerns were dismissed.
Dr Moubayed never acknowledged the problem that the surgery has caused to the contour of my chin however this issue was easily pointed out by another reputable plastic surgeon that I have recently met (the asymmetry can be seen in the photos).
During consultation Dr Moubayed advised me that a scar revision would be the best option and excising the scar will create a better looking scar. I asked Dr Moubayed if there is any risk that comes with the surgery, he reassured me that it's a simple procedure and that the scar will be a line. It was never communicated to me that the scar will be a longer line and that there is a chance I would lose some of my facial hair.
As a doctor you have a responsibility to inform your patients of all the possible side effects of the surgery during consultation and as a patient I have the right to know these things prior to the procedure so I can make an educated decision. I was never given that chance, I was rather given false reassurances that a scar revision would be a minimal procedure only to be told later by Dr Moubayed that my expectations were low. How can there be any expectations when the scar is longer and I have other complications?
How can any patient find a longer scar emotionally acceptable? This is something that I have to deal with for the rest of my life.
