botched surgery

[gumraah]

I fell in the hands of a cheater type surgeon, who only to remove the nasaloboial folds along my nose n lips conducted 4 facelift surgeries in less than 4 years, a liposuction of face, lured me to get an eyelid surgery, bla bla. He manipulated and exploited my sentiments, mislead me and grabbed handsome amounts out. He left me with humps and depressions all over my face  as a result of all his stupid surgeries. Also he made my underchin uneven and unsmooth with his unneseecary liposuction of neck. He is now going to appear before the medical board for all he has done. Any advice will be appreciated to overcome the discripancies created by this stupid surgeon.

I think that you are being a little harsh. With lots of surgeons talking us into how good they are I would say its pretty hard to be 100% certain that they are as good as they say they are.

Since you are clearly dissatisfied with the results of your multiple procedure, it is obvious that consultation with another surgeon would be appropriate to see if your current problems can be revised.

SO  this person held you against your will,  forced all these surgeries on you and prohibited you from seeking a second opinion.  Amazing.

Elective Cosmetic surgery is 100% the choice of the patient to have surgery performed. Therefore, in my opinion it is the patient's responsiblity to seek out the best surgeon, (are they board certified? contacting other patients for input, any medical complaints or action taken?) this may take several consutations,  but it is paramount to elective cosmetic surgery.  Quite honestly when I was checking into possible surgery, I certainly didn't have anyone "soliciting" my business, and if I would have, that is my clue to excuse myself from the salesperson/surgeon's office as quickly as possible and not look back.   It is my opinion, when you decide you want cosmetic surgery, and  paying a large amount of monies upfront for all services rendered, that you feel completely confident in the surgeon's ability, and accept responsibility your selection of the surgeon.  But that is just my opinion.
