Consultation review: strung along and lied to for months Giving one star for extremely poor and misleading communication during consult process. Wasted my time for months, then refused to treat me and would not provide referrals to someone who would, wasting several weeks more by stringing me along. I checked online court records though, and it looks like he's had several malpractice suits filed against him in recent years, so maybe alls well that ends well. I would hate to be botched even worse than I currently am. I had or... read more

Wide scars scalp after mini lift & doctor said jowls were more apparent I went to Dr. Antell for a mini facelift over a decade ago. He told me then when to return for a second one. I followed his directions. He performed the second one and admitted afterward that it was the first time he had to admit that a patient looked worse after than before. He was confounded, as was I, that my jowls had grown more apparent, not less. Further, because he his assistant removed stitches too soon, there are large/wide scars on both sides o... read more

I cannot say this firmly and loud enough: Do notget a rhinoplasty from this doctor. After I got my first rhinoplasty my aunt told me "it looks like you ran into a wall." She was right. Dr.Antell didn't listen to anything I said. I told him "I'm fine if you keep a bit of the bump, I just want it to be thinner from the front." What did I get? I super flat and widernose with poor projection. I went back for cortisol shots hoping it was just "inflammation" like he said. Suprise- it wasn't inflammation. I didn't have the money to... read more

I went to Dr. Antell for a rhinoplasty when I was probably too young to have done so. I do feel that the nose I was born with could have used some subtle refinements, but I believe the result I received from Dr. Antell was extreme: a 1980's-style bunny slope nose with an upturned, pinched that makes me feel, well, not my best. I didn't even realize that a revision would be possible until I recently had an epiphany about it. I've found another doctor to help me revise this result, and am very much looking forward to having th... read more

I had lower eyelid surgery with Dr Antell. Too much fat was taken out and it left me with loose skin and wrinkles that I didn't have before. The procedure I did was trans conjunctival bleph with skin pinch. dr Antell assured me that he would perform another skin pinch if needed. when I mentioned my concerns about the loose skin about a mth and a half post op. his reply was that all he did was take fat out. That he didn't add any skin to my face, essentially treating me like I was crazy. To cut a long story short he did nothi... read more
