Oh my gosh. I got several rounds of filler by Dr. Chow, double board certified dermatologist ("world-renowned" lol, board certified in Derm, residency at UofC (very prestigious program), previous IM physician and pharmacist also 1 year of surgical specialty). I did 2 months of Derm rotations with her. She is very verbally abusive, narcissistic. There was a patient who really wanted her to do his closure for his skin cancer removal. For some reason, despite the patient's request, she had me do the closure. I didn't say anything (the patient was awake and lying there mind you), bc I was scared and basically did what the attendings told me to do. Never complained, never opened my mouth, etc. It's kind of what you're "supposed to do" in training. Anyways, I guess I didn't do it to her liking and she started yelling and actually hit me a couple of times with a pair of suture scissors, while yelling. Even the patient asked what was going on. Omg. Anyways, Despite this, I-for some reason-went to her to get some treatments--I was bullied,mistreated, etc a lot through the course of my life. So, that type of treatment I kind of brushed off or didn't think much of. Also, most docs are jerks and socially unaware/inept (you go through a lot of torture and unnecessary mental and verbal abuse in training, too). Anyway, because of her previously mentioned accolades (she also lectures around the world and stuff), I thought I was in good hands. As a doc, you understand that, if a doc doesn't have the best bedside manner, it doesn't mean that they deliver poor care. Often the care they provide is great, actually. Initially, Dr. Chow did a great job. But in my experience, if a doc is arrogant or rude or has poor bedside manner, eventually, they will take it out on a patient, especially a patient that is too nice to say anything. And this is what happened with Dr. Chow. Dr. Chow over filled me. She told me to come every six months bc she said that's how long it would take for filler to dissolve. I thought I looked nice and thought I really needed to touch up that often bc that was the (medical) consensus at the time. I didn't notice a difference in the mirror until someone snapped a few photos of me. I looked TERRIBLE. My face was HUGE! I also saw a huge (in a bad way) difference in my license photo. I told Dr. Chow about this, and she said oh the face changes as you age. These are age related changes. Which is complete BS (the time between the specific photos were under 2 years). I came across this video talking about filler migration, and it made sense. ALL my filler migrated. My once high cheekbones now have fat mid face. I learned not to get any more filler, after watching that and similar videos. ALL of my filler migrated out of my lips to the area around my lips. She talked to me about micro-injections to the vermillion border of the lip. She extended the length of my philtrum with her placement of filler, aging me immediately--yes the length of the philtrum increases as you age, but does it happen immediately after a treatment? No. She made the edge (along the vermillion border) bumpy, and then all of the filler migrated superiorly. It looks like a have a mustache of extra skin and soft tissue--and my philtrum length is huge which is very aging! Also, I now have all of this filler that bunches up at my nasolabial folds, and it looks awful. She injected my chin and jaw without asking me first, without my consent. My chin was my favorite part of my face. I was frozen and didn't say anything because she had her needle in my face and was injecting. That gave me jowls (it happened right after her treatment, it was not age related). Her work has probably aged me about 6+ years, and my migration is very, very obvious. I sent her photos of my migrated filler (about 1.5 years after initial placement) telling her it was migration (I've told her about migration in the past and how filler never really dissolves, and she agreed with me at the time.) IMO, even the changes it makes to your skin (stretching it out) makes all filler permanent to a certain extent. She said the filler will dissolve in 6 months (it hasn't changed at all) and that she could also dissolve it in office with hyaluronidase. I've heard the horror stories on realself with hyaluronidase. So, I would NEVER trust that woman with my face doing that. If she messed up--which there is high probability that she would--or if there was a complication--she would say it was "normal"/"that's how your face looks naturally, you're not used to it," etc. She feels like she can do no wrong and never apologizes. I had her do some laser resurfacing to my face, and she burned off my eyebrow. My eyebrow hairs on one side were singed when I looked in the mirror. Thankfully I wasn't too scared to say something the day she did it. She rubbed my eyebrow and said "it's just hot" (reached character limit.Pls See attached photos for rest of review) read more
