This is the first time I have ever had to write a negative review of a doctor. Not because I have not encountered poor service or unskilled professionals, but I have never had the urge to warn other people to stay away. At my consultation with this doctor for another procedure, he spoke to me about his "Aesthetic Facial Rebalancing" or "sneaky sculpting", as he likes to call it, where he would use fillers "here an there" in several areas of my face for a natural and balanced look. Later that afternoon, his assistant emailed me a quote that stated "Aesthetic Facial Rebalancing" with 4cc's of HA. Although his pricing was ridiculously high, I thought 4 ccs for all the areas he pointed out (temples, marionette lines, lips, chin) it seemed reasonable and appropriate for the natural approach that he was so adamant to claim. On the day of my appointment, he had me waiting for over an hour until I told his assistant I had to leave for a meeting. It is only then that he came to see me and I was desperate to leave by that time. I should have left immediately after he told me that the quote was only for the "upper area" of my face and he was going to try his "best" with only 4 ccs because he "usually needs 6 to 8 ccs to make a good difference". He placed all 4 ccs in my eyes! Which I did not need at all!!! He didn't even touch my temples/cheeks. I left his office hoping that I was just swollen.
For a whole week, I cried looking like a monster but was still hopeful. A week later, I went for a follow-up appt and I immediately told him and both of his assistants that I was overfilled and the results didn't seem right or positive. He was immediately patronizing, told me I looked like I needed a hug, and assured me I was still swollen and not to worry. He convinced me that one eye looked worse than the other because it needed more "support" and sold me more filler for the temple. Again, I trusted this doctor but little did I know my nightmare was just beginning. I had to go back 6 times in 2 weeks to beg him to dissolve the fillers and every time he told me I looked better with the fillers, that the blueish coloration around my eyes was just bruising and my own veins (not bruising and not my veins but Tindall effect of poorly placed fillers) and that is normal "for people to freak out when their features are changed." I never wanted to change my features! Every time I was there he tried to convince me to buy and get more fillers to "balance" it better. He then blamed the poor results on my natural asymmetry, my prior natural defects like my malar bags that he enormously enhanced and I had never even noticed before and that the eyelid edema was just temporary (it was not). Every time he would agree to dissolve the fillers, he would only do tiny amounts and made it seem he was doing me a favor to "make me happy," as he stated several times. At my last appointment (as I will never go back), after crying desperately trying to reason with him for over 40 minutes, where he would come up with another patronizing excuse or line over and over again, I just begged him to remove everything immediately. Once again he just dissolved a tiny amount and left the room. I never even fought for my money back, I was just asking him to fix what he had done, to leave me as I was before I went to him.
Three different doctors have agreed that I was overfilled and the fillers were poorly placed. Even the tiny amounts he dissolved, were poorly done. A month later, I still need to have the fillers dissolve even more (this would be the second session of Hyaluronidase with another doctor) and the under eyelid edema/filler migration will probably last for months, if not longer. Due to the amount of filler placed and the pressure it was causing, my left eye hurts when I blink and I still have a dark blue pigmentation around one eye. What a nightmare! He charges an exorbitant amount of money and his ego is larger than the well being of his patients. I've lost $8000, enormous amounts of time, hours of sleep, and he ruined my vacation as I had to go looking like Quasimodo. Please stay away!
