Bad chin lift - Vancouver, BC
Bad Chin Lift
After much research and three consultations later (150 per) I decided I felt the most comfortable with Dr Buonassisi. I went looking for a mini facelift. I was 42 just divorced lost some weight needed a fresh look.
At the consultation Dr Buonassisi recommended a chin lift as well. He added it to the list not what I asked for but I trusted his advice.
About a year after and all the swelling went down I looked great but this little pucker under my chin where stitches were. So I went in and was told I would have to live with it!!! I paid over 12,000 to live with it! So a couple of years pass and I start to notice under my chin is looking concaved!!! Now remember I sent two clients their way both of whom got full face lifts and eyes!!! I was given a $500 in house credit!
When I called to complain about my chin the Doctor never returned the call to talk to me directly. His staff emailed me . Basically,I didn’t matter anymore. He tightened the muscle too much. Never once has he shown any concern or appreciation for his patient. I am so self conscious now I strongly don’t recommend Dr Buonassisi. This isn’t a bad bang trim... my chin won’t grow back! This was to make me feel better! I don’t. Thanks
I went to see Dr Bounassisi last year to enquire...
I went to see Dr Bounassisi last year to enquire about a possible facelift. I had lost over twenty pounds and been through a pretty tough time as a result my face was showing more than my age. I was 43 and felt like I looked 63. I just wanted to look fresh and happy again.
My surgery was early in the morning and I was home by 1pm. The first few days were hard but it was normal. Alot of swelling and bruising again normal. It took about 1 week until I felt comfortable going out. By week two alot of the bruising was gone. It has been two months and I still have some swelling only noticable by me. The scars around my ears and chin are easily hidden with foundation. The scars around my ears are almost not visible.
I am so happy with the outcome. I am in such a good mood. I feel like my surgery has helped to remove many layers of stress and sadness visible on my face. I have had people think that I am 35! Well worth it!
Dr Buonassisi put me at ease and answered all my questions.He explained all my options and advised me that a short incision facelift would be good for me. I felt like I was in good hands..........play on words! Seriously, I felt he really knew his stuff. I booked an appointment for the Christmas holiday.
I had a few months to worry about it however my surgery went very well . The surgical center was clean,professional and friendly. The staff put me at ease.
I highly recommend Dr Bounassisi. He made him self available to me for any question during Christmas and I never felt like I was bothering him.I really appreciated that as I tend to worry alot.lol He and his staff are really friendly,professional and knowledgeable.

Yay for looking 35 when you're in your 40s. That must be an amazing feeling. Thank you for sharing on RealSelf. If you'd consider it, we'd LOVE to see your photos. They help others in the community immensely.
Am I missing something here?? (are the posts hidden or I'm just not seeing them?) Only 1 or 2 comments REALLY???!!!!!
For this 'Doctor' to not address & not to try to fix or do SOMETHING to help make HIS crappy work better & to just ignore you is beyond my comprehension of HOW someone could be like that!!
You have to LIVE WITH IT???
