Jan.2004..I had a face lift with overfill fat graft in my cheeks. One month after the fl, my ps performed a laser procedure on me.
One month after the laser small dented scars in a radiating pattern started appearing on both of my cheeks...Each week that went by.. These pitted scars would become deeper and multiply..It was like my face was melting...And it continues.
To this day, a little over a year later the scars continue to progress ..It is difficult to look in the mirror, I am not me.

My arrogant ps completely abandoned me as a patient after I came in to show him my face, when this started...I asked him what he had done to me..His response "it is a secret!!!!!!!!" I am not joking, oh how I wish I had a taperecorder on me at the time! He promptly left the room in a rage , sent his assistant in..To inform me, if I dont like the scars I should go out of the country to get silicone injections..Because the doctor does not do them.

I left in tears. That was the last contact I had with this god awful doctor.
My phone calls were screened and even though I was told they would be returned..They were not.

I planned on starting school this year and return to work, since my daughter, whom I raised myself was going away to college...This face lift was my gift to me ..The first thing I have ever done for myself since my daughter was born....
I have not left my house in over a year due to what this "man' did to my face. He ruined my life, shattered my dreams. I am so depressed, if it wasnt for my daughter, I would take my own life, my future is hopeless, I hate myself now....I am a freak.


I would be ''happy" to tell you my story in more detail...If you still need one. :-(

Re: Cosmetic Surgery Gone Wrong
[Hello, I had abdomnioplasty February 2008 (earlier this year), about May 2008 I still had a section in my incision about the size of a thumb nail that wsa not closing, I had to keep band aids or guaze on the area, to keep from draining/ bleeding. When I called the plastic surgeron to go over my issue, she asked me to come in for her to look at it. I made it to the office in the next few weeks, she looked it over and stated that it looks like an infected stitch under there and that if I could be sent home with some Betadine solution and these long Q-Tips to clean out the infection myself at home. I felt I could do that, however what was puzzling to me was that the Plastic Surgeon stated, "this has never happened before, I am so sorry." That left me with a weird feeling, like does she know what she is doing in surgeries? This is not right, here I am walking around months and months after a surgery with an opening in my abdomin. So after going home and cleaning out the area three times daily, there was no change. A month of doing that, I called the Plastic surgeron again, she said that she would like to put me on antibiotics and then have to scheduled an outpatient procedure to go in and take out the infection and clean out the wound and then close me up. I am now being charged $8660.00 for something to me was a mistake on the Plastic Surgeons part or at least half the blame. Number one because she apologized that this never happened before made me suspicious, like she was like now what? I think the plastic surgeon made some kind of error/ mistake in surgery that it never closed or healed right. My outpatient surgery was July 1, 2008, I am now fighting charges on my bill from that day because of the amount and plastic surgery charges on the bill that I do not think needed to be coded in such a way that it was considered plastic surgery. It was a repair. The hospital is stating because of what kind of doctor she is, is why I am being charged $3400.00. So sum it up, it is now November 14, 2008 and my incision is still opened, after the outpatient procedure, it never closed. During a follow up two weeks afo the Doctor had the nerve to say, " I know you don't want to schedule something right now, but to get it all out (the infected stitch) I will have to do a procedure. I was like that is not happening, I have an $8600 bill. Which I forgot to mention was more than my initial abdomnioplasty back in February 2008. I am still suffering with this 9 months later, I cry alot just thinking about this. I have a huge medical bill, and I have nothing to show for it. I at the very least want several thousands knocked off my outpatient procedure for this an do not know how to go about doing this. I need assistance and support form anyone who has it. I feel this is my plastic surgery story gone wrong.
Thank you for listening.

blotched eyelids
at age 26, i was told eyelid surgery is very simple and leaves a hair line scar. Little did I know the horror of it. I wanted to get a small crease that is located on my inner eyelids remove. this doctor I went to told me he can do it. after the surgery my inner parts of the eye was different. my right side was wider by about approx 5 to 6 mm. it is noticeable since I am asian & other asians noticed it too. I didn't get any scar. I went to get consulations from many doctors to try to get the problem fix. I thought i picked the right doctor this time since he is a medical eye doctor and also board certified and have one year of trained experience doing eye plastic work. what ever that suppose to mean. Little did I know what is going to happen to my face. This doctor cut me and give me scars from my eyelid creases to my hair lines, from my eyelid creases to above my eyebrows. it is a nightmare. in april 2009 I found many zig zag scars hidden inside my eyebrows cuz my right eyebrow skin is pulled down too much in an attempt for her to hide a really bad scar he gave to my right eye. I decided to puck both of my eye brows and to pencil it in with an eye brow liner. I was also using Obaji to remove so much brown spots aroud my eye area. as the spots light up I really i got zig zag stitches everywhere and not just on my eyelid crease. some of the zig zag stitches are over all the place like above my eye brows and on the outer corners of my eyebrows. My eyes are stitched so tight that when i close my eyes i look like I am in my 70's........... You must see pictures of me to see what this slasher doctor did to my face. i went to him for eyelid revision work and ended up with tons of scars everywhere and 1000 times worst than before he touched my face. he gave me two different size and shape of eyes. the doc. told me to used coco butter to smooth out the scars. He got to be kidding????? He is still advertising and used the words "fountain of youth"..............

After many years of research, I decided to have a lip lift. As it turns out the plastic surgeon that I went to did a muscle lip lift. He damaged the upper lip muscle. I cannot use my upper lip normally. I am unable to blow up a balloon because that function of the muscle has been weakened, Also when I push down with my top lip on my bottom lip the top lip completely moves to one side. It looks like I have bells palsy. I am unable to speak normally.
