Dr Joshua Halpern HORRIBLE PLASTIC SURGERY IN EVERY ASPECT - DO NOT TRUST THIS OFFICE Tampa Florida

My eye surgery was almost 4 years ago.  I originally went  here seeking a tummy tuck.  He talked me into eye surgery instead (Still unsure now why) but showed me pictures of how it would make me look younger and that talked me out of the tummy tuck as the scare would not be worth it (I did not have huge stomach).  

I went through the typically pre-op which included blood work at his recommended center.

After surgery it was strange as he had flowers waiting for me and was so strange about making sure we took them home.  I was out of it but my husband had to get me to the car and these stupid flowers.  This is irrelevant but I have read lots of people mention this about him - I think it shows he is a bit excentric and unconcentrated on his main priority - surgery.

The follow up and down time from this surgery was horrible - over three weeks - so painful.  He and the staff (one woman who said she had it done on a Friday and was back to work on Tuesday) never ever portrayed the eyelift surgery as being this major.  I was cut inside my mouth with stitches everywhere (he never ever mentioned this either) 

I looked like I had a a full facelift.  I feel even more so today he changed the shape of my eyes and my face is a little saggy.  I was only 42 when I had this done.  

The worst news is yet to come - to my shock I found out I was pregnant which means the blood work I had given was not properly assessed.  I had no idea and had not been trying to have a child (Obviously 42) - but I was positively pregnant when I gave the bloodwork and had the surgery.  

This meant all the pain killers I took after the surgery could have affected my baby.  That baby is now 3 and all is well.  

I had heard he was a great plastic surgeon and from friends heard of success stories with breast implants.

I would not recommend him to anyone.
