endoscope forehead eyebrows lift

OMG2018
$4,500
It is 5,000 USD but since I was having multiple surgeries the price got reduce to 4600 and not 4500 as I posted previous. The doctor claimed he didn't do anything that unusually. My bruises got down some and I am still very swollen everywhere. I don't have full sensation of my forehead and still semi-numb into that area. I was told that is normal. I was told it takes at least 3 months to feel more normal. If I knew I am going to be that bald I will not get it done. I saw photos of endoscope post op 1 week and that lady isn't all swollen or have any bruises. She also didnt get any bad spots either. I posted this so people will beware of what can happened to you . These plastic surgeon just want your money and most don't want you to know how they are doing the procedure It does sound not invasion. Just a 1 cm cut and you will never know that you end up with a huge bald spot plus a man made hump or bump that is very noticeable on top and in front of your head...................

Endoscope Forehead/eyebrow Lift in Taipei, Taiwan Nightmare.

OMG2018
If there was no star and negative star I be issuing that.
I went to Taipei, Taiwan on July 21, 2018 for high SMAS lift
Then I ended up doing several more procedures which I think was stupid of me.
The worst outcome was the endoscope forehead/eyebrow lift.
I never in my nightmare would think the doctor will do something like that odd to my head.
I done my consultation with him on Saturday 21, 2018. Taiwan is 15 hrs ahead of California/Pacific standard time zone.
Then I had my surgery done on the following Monday Saturday 23, 2018.
If the doctor had told me how he will be doing my forehead lift then I will have said I don't want it done.
He rolled up my skin on top of my head on front of my head.
It looks like I have a hump on top of my head that is above 1/2 " above my skull.
I was told I needed 2 weeks there, so I scheduled my return fly for Aug 6, 2018.
The nurse removed my stitches on Aug 4, 2018(Taiwan date - they are 15 hrs ahead of our time).
Then I went back in the morning of Aug 6, 2018 to remove the remaining.
Big problem. Nurse told me my endoscope wounds didn't heal properly but she didn't tell me she already removed one. If it wasn't ready she should have the doctor restitch the one she opened.
She didn't
Also the remaining stitches for my high SMAS wasn't removed either. THose stitches are hidden inside my hair.
On my flight 1/2 way I didn't know I was bleeding from my forehead since the lights to the plane was turned off for most of the time.
I went to the plane's restroom seeing that I had blood pouring down my forehead. A awful site.
Then I realized I had blood on my retractable airport table too, on my feet(I had flip flops on).
Now it is a holly nightmare. The wound is huge and wide. It is not like what I read how small of an incision that the doctor made for endoscope lifts. He didn't do it like the way it is normally done through my research and watching videos made for endoscope forehead/eyebrow lifts.
The whole time, I thought he had rolled up my hair so that is why there is a big bump in front of my head. Then I realized after I returned home to USA and having to go to urgent care, the doctor there told me there is a noticeable hump/bump on top and in front of my head. She said it looks very strange and awkward and I agree. I look like a victim of an bad accident due to how my forehead look like. THe doctor at urgent care asked if the doctor in Taiwan a plastic surgeon and I said "yes". He has a huge very nice plastic surgery clinic and he is Plastic surgery board certified member of Taiwan and also a member of Taiwan's aesthetics board member.
Why I go to Taiwan for plastic surgery? Original it was just for high SMAS.
I am Asian and I thought plastic surgeons there would be better for working on Asian faces since the bulk of the people there is Asian. I thought I be getting a good result but it is now a nightmare.
The doctor told me if I do a forehead lift than it can improve on those deep man made furrow marks done by a crazy eye doctor in 1992. He can see all those lines on my forehead is just bunch of scars and the crazy eye doctor stitched the up to make them become furrow marks. No doctors can tell me rather those weird stuff was done by scapel or laser. I went for eyelid revision due to asemmetry and the doc didn't do it in Orange county. I will do a review on that without mentioning the doctor's name, but if you like that doc's name please send me a private email.
The entire front of my head is bald with a bit of hair left. Now that hump is so noticeable and who wants a hump on top of their head . How can that even feel and look natural. The Taiwanese plastic surgeon told me it will eventually feel and look more natural???? A hump can never feel and look natural. He didn't even tell me why he made me look like a victim of some bad accident. No one will think that hump is put there by a plastic surgeon because that is in very bad taste. It is aesthetically horrible looking.
On Sunday I am 3rd week post op.
I post because I want people to realize the cons of doing plastic surgery overseas. I did it because i thought I get better result instead I end up looking like frankenstein's creation. Want the doctor's name please send me Personal message. I will eventually name the doctor in my comprehensive review of my High SMAS, neck lift, lower eyebags, endoscope forehead/eyebrow lift.
Endoscope suppose to be less invasion than normal forehead lift and gives you less scars but look at my photos. What do you think????

That’s awful so sorry!

I'm so sorry for you. In the past, I had badly done cosmetic surgery by unscrupulous cosmetic surgeons. It's such a betrayal of trust.
November 20, 2019
Can you please give the name of the awful doctor to save others?
