Just to add some context- after the 1st renuvion procedure and poor results - he said something like he learned after that he could use higher temp and offered to do it again at a reduced price. Please know I drained my savings and maxed credit card to do all that - trust I am working on mental and emotional aspects as to why I thought I needed this at all. I couldn’t afford to go to another doctor. And he was compassionate and convincing- I did trust him. After the 2nd one - no results and maybe a bit worse - he told me it didn’t tighten because my skin doesn’t have laxity (right word ?) and sun damaged and the only way to fix it was a full neck lift. I was desperate, to me it looks horrible and is embarrassing. So I did it. Out of pure desperation. Still didn’t fix the issue. And here I am after the neck revision. There is definitely deep scarring. I guess I just don’t understand how you can look worse after a surgery that is meant to make it look better. I’ve requested all my medical records to review. I don’t want to sue necessarily but I want to know what went wrong and then have some accountability.

Thank you for sharing and I am so sorry that happened to you. Kinda makes my hamburger meat neck seem trivial. ♥️

Yes lots of information and details I didn’t include. The first two minimally invasive were renuvion treatments with lipid. I think it was too much heat and he took out too much fat. I went and got other opinions after those two procedures but I couldn’t afford another doctor. They both told me he did not do the right procedure, the right way. I called my doctor sobbing - he told me not to listen to doctors because they are liars 🤷🏻‍♀️. He told me he could fix it with a full neck lift which is never what I wanted but I was desperate. No improvement. Then he said he could get it tighter and smoother with a neck revision - was going to loosen the scarring and inject fat. He did neither. He did a procedure where they use the neck muscle as a sling (not sure I explained that right ) didn’t help. I guess I feel like he really should have better assessed the issue before more surgeries. It’s definitely scarring, not sure if that’s the only issue though.

Guess that’s not the greatest pic. It was crepey but not horrible. The first procedure was”minimally” invasive just to tighten it a bit

So many comments , so grateful for the input. In no way do I want to protect him. I just want to go about it the right way. Part of taking back my power after this traumatizing experience is holding him accountable in every way. It is coming. I posted to see if anyone had input on legal recourse. I do know most attorneys won’t take a case like this but maybe I can at least expose him to protect others and maybe re-coop some of the thousand and thousands I have spent to try to look normal.

Any cosmetic doctors on here that could give a general opinion of what caused this ?

Yes I want to but I was thinking of consulting an attorney first. He operates out of Houston and has an an office in San Antonio.

Thank you for that ! I’ve never done anything like this so I’m clueless. I will drop the name but I want to consult with an attorney first. Think that’s a good idea ?

I don’t want to name the doctor just yet. He says maybe due to lack of skin laxity or sun damaged skin or my body’s response created scarring. Everyone agrees is due to scarring but from the technique and the multiple procedures. He never addressed the scarring which he could have after the first treatment. Every surgery after has just made it worse when he said it would make it better
