Do You Have to See a Cosmetic Surgeon for Botox or Dermal Fillers?
Posted by writeradmin
I recently read this review of a Beverly Hills Cosmetic Dentist. I’m posting it here without editing, even for grammar/vocabulary errors, so no one can say it was altered.
“WARNING DO NOT GET DERMAL FILLERS HERE!!!WARNING!!
I tried to work with the dr directly before writing this review but it seems the only fair and honest way to also Inform the public on this matter. It’s you’re face after all, and you want the best of the best!
Here’s my experience.
I found dr. Lakey through a gf of mine who is beautiful and her work looks very natural, I decided I would go in and have a consult and more forward with treatment if i was a good candidate. Dr lakey had wonderful bed side manger and very professional. He chose volume for my cheeks and juvaderm under the eyes. Before I even left the office I felt like it looked a little off- and he said it was swelling and would go down. After 2 weeks the top of my right cheek had what appeared to be or what looked like a horn shape. It was obvious that I had filler. Dr lakey put in some dissolve to remove the product from that area.
4 days later I began to feel my eye swell! I wasn’t sure if it was allergic reaction or what! It was so tight and swollen where the filler was -)I went to emergency and they put me on pretisone to bring my eye down! I was leaving for Europe in a week but swelling was too intense to inject product to remove ( too much dissolve product can eat your real tissue) so I had to leave for my trip with a swollen eye! I contacted to dr lakey several times as I was so upset over my eye, unacceptable for filler to look this way . He said as soon as I got back to the states to come in. Now, naturally you can assume my apprehensive of letting him touch my face again- my other gf who went to him informed me she went to dr bashey at obagi to have her under eye filler fixed from the SAME dr. I made an appointment to see dr bashey and within 24 hours my eye was 99% better!!! Wow!!!!
I emailed sr lakey to ask for a refund for just the under eye filler… that seemed fair to me being as I had to pay out of pocket to have dr bashey fix lakeys work. Paying to go to the ER because my eye was so swollen it would not open…. Plus the emotional and mentally stress of having to walk around for 2 months with a botched job. Having a dr in practice who has integrity and honors his patients is the most important thing- he squeezed me for $650??
Having principle and respect is key- unfortunately that is not how this business operates. Fair warning to everyone out there!! Save yourself, time and beautiful face to a dr who cares and does impeccable work! Feel free to message me with any questions as well..x all love”
The key takeaway from this review is to make sure you know the doctor you are using. You want them to not only have training and expertise, but also to care about the results and patient experience.
A secondary bit of information to file away is that there are a few procedures that cosmetic surgeons do that you can get done with a trained dentist as well. For example Dr. Cha does dermal fillers as well as other facial aesthetics, like Botox (though he uses a different brand he thinks is better), as well as BioPRF, microneedling, and laser skin treatments. Dr. Cha can also do facelifts that do not require any surgery at all, known as a dental facelift.
