Complaint Review: Dr Steven White Carolina Coastal Plastic Surgery & Medical Spa..

First things first, Dr. Steve White can change your life, he changed mine. I went to Dr. Steve White because years ago he did some work for me, that did not go as he said, but took care of the problem, but a lot more painful than he said it would be! I asked before the procedure how much it would cost he said 100.00.
Later sent me a bill for 500.00, I paid him a 100.00, that was it.

10 years later I wanted to fix the eye rim because it was starting to sink in a bit and have him straighten my nose out, (I want to point out I had little to no bags or wrinkles under my eyes every thing was tight) he told me no problem, I'll fix your nose and then place a graph under your eye, then take some fat from your abdomen and inject the fat under you eye to smooth it out then inject this fat in the same area under the other eye, and told me he would give me a bluff to each eye to tighten everything up.I would look a little china like for a while I asked why, he said that way he could be sure that both would look the same symmetrical, then use the same fat and fill a small detent in my forehead. Well I was amazed, he could do this and he was so sincere that I had no doubts, that he could do it.

Big mistake!! After 3 months swelling was down, OMG!

The graph he placed under my left eye was huge! The fat he injected under both eyes looked like, small sixteenth inch pellets bumpy and I HAD BAGS UNDER BOTH EYES!!! I looked like h*ll! UNDER BOTH EYES!!! I looked worse than I did before the surgery, at this point who cares about the nose!! Well, needless to say during the follow up, they said all the swelling was not over, and this would smooth and correct it self and generally takes a year, ( I had no idea you could not sue after a year past) but then White injected me with steroids in both areas to smooth and tighten where the bags and bumps were. I was skeptical but, I had no choice but to believe him at this point. LIE!!

I called several times, to the point, I started to become a nuisance. I became very depressed, actually considered suicide! After about a year I wrote him a letter, telling him of my depression from the work he did, and I was as even tempered as I could be, then I just had to call, I was scared to death, Imagine that I just spent 9500.00 and I'm scared to complain, that included the 500.00 for the original surgery I had done a decade earlier!!

An appointment was made, when I got there in his office , he looked then said well we need to schedule another surgery for another bluff, sent me out and I had to pay another 1400.00. Under light sedation . Well he grinded down the implant and scraped both areas where he injected the fat from my abdomen. Woke up, and lost another two weeks of work. Well even looked worse the eye that had no problem had the same bag and the other, after surgery still had the same bag under it.

Third time is charm, This time it's free, after complaining about the BAGS under my eyes,
Another operation for a bluff, this time, in the side office, local shot to the left eye to numb it up and I'm thinking what about the righteye, what about fixing the right!! NO CHANGE! DR.STEVEN WHITE'S last statement to me was goodbye Scott!!! This occurred 2001-2004. This man Dr. Steven White is incompetent, I just wish I could get my ten years he took from me.
.
I look in the mirror every day and look at a man ten years OLDER , My first hand advise, DO NOT Trust DR. Steven White, with the most precious thing you have your self image, he destroyed mine, and I lost more than money.

By the way I'm still paying off the bill......
