Cosmetic Procedures received in 2015: Jaw Reduction (v-line) and (unwanted) Buccal Fat Pad Removal.

Dear Dr. Lee,
In 2015, I put my trust in you to improve the appearance of my face, an imagined slight that was not even an issue, and you took advantage of that and completely failed me. Do you know how illegal it is to perform a cosmetic surgery without the patients consent? Do you know how illegal (and morally wrong) it was for you to remove my buccal fat pads at 20 years old without my consent or knowledge while you had me under anesthesia for my jaw reduction? Removing my buccal fat at 20 years old was an insane move. When I think about how you violated my body by removing my facial fat without permission, I shake with anger. Any decent doctor with half a means to do good would NEVER do that. It is common knowledge that I know from a brief google search that buccal fat pad removals before the age of 35 are NOT RECOMMENDED. Thanks to you, I looked like I had been using meth heavily for YEARS. Just so you know, in 2021 I was finally able to semi-reverse your mistake with a facial fat transfer, but it does not look like it used to. Never forget that I placed my trust in you, and you could not have let me down harder.

You took a life.

p.s. I tried to post on healthgrades but either my review was full of "profanity" or he has found a way to report it as a false review and pretend he was not my surgeon. I have the emails scheduling my consultation in January 2015 and surgery in March, but my guess is he is too ashamed to admit and own up to what he did.
