CO2 Significantly Melted the Fat/Volume off my Face!

I had co2 laser skin resurfacing under my eyes in February 2017 by Dr. Paulsen. Every place the laser hit I was left with deep marks under my eyes. Dr. Paulsen offered to redo the procedure but would not tell me what went wrong the first time and what he would do differently. Who would think laser resurfacing from a board certified plastic surgeon would end up like that. The truly worst part is the fat/volume loss I have from the laser all over my face. Dr. Paulsen told me it wasn't possible for the co2 laser to kill/melt fat. I gave him a chance to do the right thing. I was actually going to let him do fillers on me because I know he knows fillers, but he had no interest in helping me. He sent me away with a face that aged tremendously from volume loss and the deep marks that he left under my eyes . Here are some of my before and after photos provided by Dr. Paulsen's office. They would only provide the before photos from a colored printer. There is an article about laser skin resurfacing and fat loss by a board certified plastic surgeon named Ricardo L Rodriguez, MD out of Maryland, and his blog and the article are online. There are other doctors who also have written articles and posted them online discussing fat loss with laser resurfacing. Contrary to what many drs will tell you it IS possible!They are regurgitating what the manufacturer claims and it has to be stopped.This was not even listed as a possible risk. Anyone who has had bad experiences with these devices should report it to Maude and Medwatch. This is part of the fda website and you can do it online.

Dr. Paulsen offered to redo the procedure but would not tell me what went wrong the first time and what he would do differently.Dr. Paulsen told me it wasn't possible for the co2 laser to kill/melt fat.I told him I saw fat loss under my more aggressively treated eye within days of the co2.He told me he didn't see it.He actually told me that under the eye that he had destroyed looked firmer and had no fat loss. The fat loss continued for months all over my face. I gave Dr Paulsen a chance to do the right thing.
