Cara Downey, Dr

I would advise against this practice: I first came to Dr. Cara Downey for a chin implant in June 2023. I had my surgery in August of 2023. After a few months when the swelling had started to go down, I had noticed that my chin was crooked, and I couldn’t smile correctly anymore. She had said that it must have fallen as it was just placed in there and sat on top of my chin. So, she would go back in and fix it, this time I would not be put under I would just be numbed. While I was getting my chin implant fixed, I could get my neck lift. She also thought I could use a bigger chin implant. I agreed. Fast forward to February 2024 I had the second surgery to fix the failed first chin implant surgery and the additional neck lift. I was happy with the chin implant however, the neck lift not so much. My neck does not look any different. It has fallen and burns at the back and front of my ears which she hasn’t seen before she said, apparently all the problems I’ve had with my chin and neck lift she’s never heard of. She said that I will need another surgery because first it was my muscle that was the problem then it was my skin. Also, that I would have to pay for this surgery. I was supposed to get a quote but never received it. At this point I wouldn’t go back to her and be put under a knife again by her. I have been seen by another clinic and learned that a chin implant does not simply just sit on the chin it should be sutured in and not have a chance to “fall” down and move around. Also, the neck lift was not done correctly, which is why you can’t tell that I had one. My advice to you is not to waste your money or time with Dr. Cara Downey. The new Clinic I went to had some of her prior staff working there and said she was very difficult to work for. I did notice while going in for over a year there is a high turnover with the office and other staff. I do not know if her husband the other surgeon at her practice is like this, he could be very good, but I can only speak for her as she is the only one that I had an experience with.

I would like to say that the front desk and nursing staff is very kind and very friendly. I would give them 5 Stars, just not the surgeon.
