I lived in Las Vegas and consulted with Mr. Peterson due to the advertising on his website, stating that the cost of procedure was substantially less than others surgeons due to being in Utah and having a procedure location that did not cost as much as others surgeons who would have to do the procedures at a hospital. I suppose I messed up from the beginning by buying into a bargain deal for surgery.
When I met with him, I had already had a consultation with another surgeon prior. I explained to Mr. Peterson what the other surgeon had recommended. Mr. Peterson looked at me and made a recommendation of his own, it was a bit more work than what my first surgeon had proposed, but Mr. Peterson's price was less for more work. I thought, wow I'm gonna look brand new, I didn't look that bad to start.
I'm a male, I told him the first surgeon had recommended a brow lift and a nose job, I wanted liposuction for the midsection as well. I told him I was very concerned about the brow lift, I didn't want a surprised look, especially being a man, high brows would obviously look unnatural and funny. I clarified that I didn't want to raise the center of my brows either, only the outside to to give me a particular look. He assured me prior to surgery that I would look great, so there I went several hours under his care.
I woke up excited to see how I looked. The next day my face was very swelled, but I could see the damage before the swelling went down. I met with him the very next day, he assured me that it was just the swelling. My gut feeling told me differently, but I had no choice at this point. So, I traveled back to Las Vegas with my brand new face, cheek implants, nose job and a brow lift. The cheek implants were not even when placed into my face, my left eye is sunk in and is clearly out of proportion with the right. I recently had a dental exam, my exray's disclosed screws were placed in my face to hold the implants in. Literally screws to hold cheek implants in.
Now, my brow was the icing on the cake. After the swelling went down it was more than evident that my brows were raised extremely high, higher than a women's natural brow and way above my natural bone structure. When I brought this to Mr. Petersons attention I met him for follow up in Las Vegas. He looked at me as if everything was perfectly okay, he held his composure and told me the brows would lower naturally over time. This was completely unacceptable, I pleaded with him to correct this. After some negotiation, he offered to lower my brow, it was a difficult process as I researched, in some cases irreversible. So, I drove to Utah on my time, my gas and frustration several times for a procedure that I had to endure. I was awake for these procedures, he numbed my skull, slit my skull open, shoved the device all the way back under my scalp and worked manually to push my brow down. This procedure turned into a lifelong nightmare. I'm a realist, I know what looks right and what doesn't. My brows still to this day look so unnatural, my cheek implants still have screws, and a sunk in left eye.
I'm the one who did this, I take personal responsibility for taking the chance on Mr. Peterson. My personal life has been effected, my professional life and ability to make money has been affected. The real bummer is when he had the nerve to charge me the couple hundred dollars at a time for those awake follow ups, while I sat and watched my high brow pushed down. I think Mr. Peterson is a good guy, but his art work as a plastic surgeon is third world country quality. I researched surgeons after the fact, I should have done before hand a more diligent job. Some surgeons have a procedural mentality, while others are very artful and credible when it comes to enhancements. No question, Mr. Peterson can do the basic stuff, but I would warn you if you're looking for a facial transformation.
I share this to save someone else from this grief, I deal with mine daily. I forgive Mr. Peterson, I forgive myself. I think it's only fair to share for someone else.

NOTICE THAT THE SKIN IN EYE AREA OF BROW LIFT IS UNEVEN, AND THAT CHEEK IMPLANTS LEFT ME WITH THE LEFT SIDE SUNK IN. I WAS TOLD THAT I COULD OPT FOR AN ONGOING FILLER TO CORRECT THE SUNK IN EYE. NO THANKS

I agree. Your brows are too high. And I can definitely see your sunken in eye. I had botch work on my eyes and I've had to resort to bangs. It's definitely traumatizing when you trust these doctors only to have them betray your trust. It effects your life in ways that some people can not imagine. The sad part about it is the doctors do not seem to care.
