~ Losing Face ~

The Ugly Side of Cosmetic Surgery

* Dr. Joel Feldman - Wrote about what he told me was “impossible”.

Dr. Feldman cautions his private patients against traumatizing their new face/ neck lift after surgery, instructing them not to have a massage where the face must rest in the padded doughnut of a massage table.  If he believes this can ruin a face/neck lift,  how could be think the trauma of a rhinoplasty would be “safe”?   He would never have subjected one of his private patients to this damaging trauma, nor would Dr. James May, Director of the Plastic Surgery Clinic at MGH.  These are the doctors who make the final decision to operate.

From Dr. Feldman’s book Neck Liftjjf-post-op cautions

Here Dr. Feldman considers it reasonable to perform a revision on this patient who had rippling of the skin on the side of her neck as a result of a seroma. This was done to establish adhesion of the tissue planes which became “detached” from the seroma. Yet he DENIED the obvious fact that my face and neck- all areas undermined in my facelift , became “unstuck” as he would put it, from the massive “swelling” (SEROMA) resulting from my rhinoplasty only 8 weeks after my facelift. He then added insult to injury by using the stock excuse of every plastic surgeon refusing to admit a patient suffered real DAMAGE: The patient must have Body Dysmorphic Disorder.

This man called my photos “fake” when he never actually saw me at the time the photos were taken. He layered one flimsy excuse and falsehood upon another rather than give me a straight answer. He is certainly not the only doctor to have treated me in this despicable manner, but he BEGAN this nightmare.
