I had a S Facelift, Brow lift, Bilateral Blepharoplasty, and a fat transfer done in November 2018 and Botox in January 2019. Let me start with the good new first. I am happy with the results of the neck and jowls. However, that is the only good news. The S Facelift has left my ears and tragus protruding. The Brow lift has left one eyebrow slightly higher than the other and both sides seems to have dropped rather than lifted. The fat transfer has made no difference in the midface, the smile line, the marionettes, and the frown line. The Bilateral Blepharoplasty has left my eyes with malar edema and a sunken hollow eye appearance, and my eyes are significantly smaller with a more Asian shape. When I went in for my 2 month follow up appointment on my surgery, I expressed my unhappiness with the results of my eyes. The doctor quickly gave me steroid injections to each eyelid, which unfortunately left indentations. After being ignored about my frustration with the results of the steroid injections, finally 2 months later he injected Restylane filler, to fill in the indentations. This treatment unfortunately left my eyes looking even worse. At this point, they said that they could not provide more treatments to correct the problem. The Botox I had in January 2019 required 3 touch ups, which still did not correct the issue. That was 3 more days of work I lost in order to drive there; not to mention the cost of parking. When I requested a copy of my Op Report, I got the run around and they told me that there were typos on the report and they needed to revise prior to releasing it to me. I had to call the office daily to remind them and each time I called they had an excuse why the Op Report was not done. When I finally received a copy of the report, I informed one of the staff members that I would not be returning. This is when I received a call from the doctor which I did not answer because at that point, I had lost ALL trust. After consulting with other surgeons, they were all in disbelief. I had to then take out another loan to start correcting these issues. I NEVER anticipated this to happen. I have since had the fillers dissolved, laser resurfacing, a series of 2 fat transfer treatments and Botox that was done perfectly that did not require any touch ups and half the price. This is just the beginning of many surgeries needed. Not only has this ruined my life, but my family is also suffering. Without, my daughters financial help, we would be homeless. My daughter got a job while at the same time she attends college and will start medical school soon, to help me with these expenses. This practice will put a lot of pressure on you when they want to get paid but if you have any concerns, they make it very difficult if not impossible to correct. Not only are they aggressive about payment but also about writing good reviews even without knowing the final results of your surgery. I hope this review will help those considering any type of surgery.
