Laser Surgery for Festoons - Tampa, FL

I just read your post (shows how much I use social media) and felt compelled to reach out to you. I have been so depressed about the complications of Dr. Schiener's surgery that I cannot even put into words how bad it has been. I wanted to share with you that I finally chose to use another persons advice on real self, and I have begun to see some improvements. I don't know if this might help you, but I now only use raw honey (leave on for as long as I can) and then put emu oil on my face. I stopped the expensive PDL treatments, retin a, vitamin c, etc. I have spent in excess of $7,000 trying to repair Dr. Scheiner's damage at my local dermatologist's office to no avail. I have been shocked that two weeks of raw honey and emu oil applications have provided the best healing of anything I've tried this far. I know that not everything works for everyone, but I wanted to share what has been the ONLY remedy that has given me hope. I truly wish that Dr. Scheiner's would take accountability for the suffering that he has put us through. He refuses to take my phone calls and has the poorest follow up care I have ever experienced. I wish that there were a way to have him accept culpability for his actions.

Sorry about the grammatical errors...written in haste at 2 am...

Has anyone found a good doctor in Tampa? I had erbium laser from Dr Jasin who completely ruined my skin, texture and scars and dents all over. I've been dealing with it for 10 yrs I need someone to fill in the scars and dents.

Hi I am sorry you are also dealing with laser damage I am too.I am just over two years and the damage is getting worse.The fat loss is the worst to deal with,I also have original scarring worse,extra scarring from laser and IPL dents and hollows all over my face.The last bit of fat I have on my cheeks is now disappearing,and the skin on my cheeks is starting to just hang in lines.It is very hard to deal with as it changes by the hour did you suffer fat loss?I am getting desperate.Hoping this finds you well.

Could someone either reply or PM me who has had bad experience with Scheiner? I'm considering him but I'm scared..

did you use him?

Me? No, after extensive research I've concluded that Dr. Scheiner's "unique" method is anything but unique, and only works with a select type of festoons with a very specific etiology, namely severe sun damage and skin laxity. Dr. Scheiner's willingness to market this procedure for unsuited candidates together with his deceptful before/after photographs (non-flash in before and flash in after photos) leads me tp conclude that Dr. Scheiner is not a serious actor. I've spoken to numerous patients of his who either saw zero results or had permanent side effects from the procedure. I've found two doctors that I am currently considering. Dr. Asaadi and Dr. Gupta of NYC. They're worth checking out. Dr. Asaadi has even published on festoons.

But by all means, if your festoons are the correct etiology, you might get results with Dr. Scheiner. But if they have any other etiology I'd look elsewhere.

I'm in the same boat. I've personally talked to patients, even as young as my age, who has had great results with Dr. Scheiner. My festoons are at a point where they are controlling my life and giving me crippling depression, so not doing anything isn't really an option anymore.

Have you checked out Dr. Asaadi or Dr. Gupta? They also have some amazing before/after photos of malar bags/festoons. Asaadi uses a surgical technique he just published a few months ago.

Same.. But I'm still considering it, as I have no idea how big these problems are. I've seen amazing before/after photographs and even spoken with a young woman who had this successfully. I'm only 25 so I'm a bit sceptical.

Oops, didn't realise I had already replied to this

Did u go through with it? I am considering. Just great reviews then some really bad. So confused My festoons suck

Did you had surgery with Dr Scheiner ? I am checking comments/reviews. I am ready to book him but a little scared for the reviews specially for laser
