botched under eyes
Botched under eye fillers
I originally went to Dr Kaado back in February to have my under eye "hollow troughs" filled (as I was told he was the only person in Va beach that did the blunt tip cannula method because I bruise very easily.) I have had my under eyes filled before back in Ct but that was over 2 years ago and they did a wonderful job there but it was time to do it again as the fillers had gone away. I found Dr Kaado on facebook through ads and some live videos. I set up a consultation and when I went into the appointment, I automatically trusted him and felt confident in his abilities to help restore the volume loss under my eyes. So I went ahead and did the procedure that day. I even went live on my facebook to show my friends that it was ok to treat yourself every once in a while. He also filled my lips, cheeks, nose bridge (as he pointed out the little bump on the top of my nose could be evened out, and I also had botox injected into my forehead and around my crows feet. I didnt bruise after the first initial visit. He said that my eyes and lips would need to be done in stages and that I would have to come back to complete it. Which at the time I should have listened to the red flags going off in my head because my Dr in Ct never had to do it in stages since he was very experienced and knew exactly how much to add and not to add. But I decided to ignore those red flags and believe that each Dr has their own ways of doing things. Long story short, over the next several months ( Feb to-this past September) he had me coming in almost every single week to inject under my eyes and also several times he had to inject a filler dissolver to get rid of any excess filler that was over corrected under my eyes. He admitted he was having a hard time getting my under eye area even and the way it should be. kept blaming it on allergies saying thats why it was so puffy underneath and why he was having such a hard time getting it right. He didn't charge me for all the times he was injecting hoping to correct it because he felt badHowever, the bruises were terrible, the pain and swelling was getting worse and It was psychologically draining and I was becoming tired of looking like a "domestic violence victim". I told him I couldnt handle much more. Eventually he decided that my under eye area was gonna have to be "good enough" after the last set of injections he did. A couple of weeks after this last set of injections once a majority of the bruising and swelling had gone down I noticed it was very uneven looking, blue looking and I had a permanent dark area and spots under my right eye.I contacted his office and told them and they suggested I come in to buy some of his "under eye dark circle" cream. I explained that this was not dark circles, that something had gone wrong along the way. I was told he was busy and that the only time he could see me was a time that didnt work for my schedule. I ended up going to a plastic surgeon to get an opinion of what the issue was. It turns out according to the plastic surgeon's expertise that the blue tint under my eyes is what is called the tyndall effect which is a result of filler being injected to superficially (not deep enough) and the dark patches I had under my eye was damaged tissue due to being over injected over and over again without giving the tissue ample time to heal from the trauma. To fix the tyndall effect problem I had to shell out more $$ to have it all dissolved (so all that i spent to begin with was pretty much like burning a couple of thousand dolllars) and as far as the tissue damage goes, I was told that I could not have anything done to my under eye area for several months to see if the tissue could some how repair itself. If it doesn't then the surgeon suggested some alternative ways to fix it (more $$) but asof now I am waiting to see if it can heal on its own and then I can address getting the under eye are corrected and the volume restored eventually.
I also contacted the doctor by personal Facebook...

RealSelf is a community where people come on to leave reviews about their experiences and opinions about professionals. Which is exactly what I was doing .That is what this site is meant for! I would never want this to happen to anyone else and the lack of this specific doctor’s caring or communication with me after I notified him of the situation is what prompted me to leave the review because that in itself is completely unprofessional, not to answer someone back when they’ve notified you that you’ve caused damage. RealSelf is meant for real reviews and that’s exactly what I did!
I don’t know why you’re so very interested in my review when there are thousands of other negative reviews out there on the RealSelf I don’t know why you’re so very interested in my review when there are thousands of other negative reviews out there on the real self page . you obviously have some sort of affiliation with this doctor or you would have no interest in my review what so ever again my point has been proven !
unless you go around commenting on every single negative review on RealSelf ( which I highly doubt) this just proves that your rebuttals to my review are one of personal interest and show affiliation with this doctor .
i’m allowed to voice my opinion, I am allowed to voice the facts of what happened in this matter all of which are facts and cannot be disputed.
why don’t you take your time elsewhere and go comment on some other negative reviews !
