Ronald Caniglia, Dr

I went to Dr. Caniglia for a fat transfer years ago, as I was always very thin and wanted some fullness back in my cheeks, as I had always had naturally. Looking back I really needed nothing done, that would have been the best advice he could have given me. I was 37, my skin was flawless and looked like I was 23. What I was talked into instead was Cheek Implants, Chin Implant, and C02 Laser on my entire face. I was to receive a pretty significant "discount" if I could make the decision to do this within ONE day, as they were "slow". Against my tiny inner voice's advice I went in two days later at 7 am and as my best friend drove me there she proceeded to try her best to talk sense into me; telling me how ridiculous it was that I was doing this to myself. As I sit there in my gown, terrified while waiting to talk to a nurse, the nurse comes in and I explain to her that Ive changed my mind & rushed into a decision out of pressure and that I did not feel that I was making a sound decision. She then said that I was just nervous and gave me a sedative to "calm me", saying that Dr. Caniglia would be in shortly to speak to me and I could voice my concerns at that point. What happened next was a nightmare that took 5 years to get through. I woke up after surgery. I did not speak to the Dr. because I was passed out from the drugs she gave me. From that point and for the next 6 months I tried calling the office to get an answer from each staff member there as to what happened. I demanded to know why I asked to go home and was ignored and drugged up so that I wouldn't know what was happening. Of course, each and every staff member stood by their story that I did in fact speak with Dr. Caniglia. Well, I hear that when someone puts a "roofie" in your drink you are also able to speak and function as if awake, but have no recollection after waking up from the drug that you've been Raped. That's exactly what this feels like, like i've been put under and raped. Dr. Caniglia denies that they put me under without my consent and the entire staff denies it. I had no proof and therefore I could do absolutely nothing about it. It took 5 years to feel normal enough to go out of the house. My once Irish, beautiful skin was now a burn victim, plastic, rubber looking skin, like an old woman's which will forever be damaged and nothing can ever go deep enough to repair it. I looked somewhere between a chipmunk and Jay leno, with a chin that would fit a large man. I looked horrible. It took 5 years for the swelling and inflammation to subside to the point I could actually look into the mirror without feeling completely depressed & feel somewhat pretty again. It was the worst mistake of my life. And, on top of all that I went through I decided to go into another surgeon finally to ask about removing the Jay Leno chin and the surgeon who removed it said that I was lucky to get it done when I did because there was a huge infection surrounding the implant which was "eroding" my chin bone!!

This is the first time I'm speaking out about this. Every word above is the absolute truth. If I can save one person from going through with something that may very well ruin their self confidence, self esteem and from dealing with a monster in sheeps clothing than it's worth speaking up. The thing I remember most about going into speak with Dr. Caniglia after the surgery, was that he would not take an ounce of accountability for his actions. Instead, he was downright mean, over-powering, intimidating & arrogant about it all. And, he refused to do anything about it. Of course, God forbid he take ownership and do the right thing - that would implicate him and he could get sued. That's all these monsters care about, truly. I should have gone to the medical board and had his license revoked!
