Plastic surgeon
Do not use this plastic surgeon!This Dr.is dishonest and heartless. He scammed me out of alot of money and refused to do the surgery I paid for him to do. He sold me on being a good man that wanted to help me as a single mom be able to get some damage fixed and then kicked me to the curb, refusing to return my phone calls at all. His assistant, Michelle, took weeks to return calls and then made it out like it was all Dr.Ptack's fault for his inability to get her any answers. For all I know, maybe it was. Dr Ptack must really need the money badly!
This complaint is regarding Dr. Jeffrey Ptak, not Dr. Charles Ptak
Failure to inform or correct
I had rhinoplasy and breast augmentation reduction. I was told I needed to do an expensive painful blue light peel in order for the skin to wrap tighter around my nose after the nose job. His previous manager, Jessica Tancredi did the blue light and seemed angry with the dr. when he told her to wash my face. He left for the office for a bi and she handed me some face cleanser that had chemicals in it and a rag and told me to go to the bathroom and wash my face. In the procedure online, it shows a cooling gel applied prior- but his manager never applied it. She put the reactivre stuff on my face and told me to stay under the light as long as I could. It burnt like hell but I stayed there for almost 15 minutes. I had told them I had 3 important meeting the next week and they assured me I'd be presentable in a few days. It was absolutely horrifying when my facial skin just came off in chunks. I called repeatedly and was told to apply gauze with vinegar and distilled water. They took 3 days to return my continued calls as I was afraid and had fever/chills. My nose was mainly bulbous but Dr. Ptak never told me prior to the surgery that the cartlidge will just try to heal itself back to the way your nose was...until after the surgery when I kept calling. His manager told me months later to keep pinching the tip of my nose and that it would take over a year to heal. I pinched my nose until it was blue but it went down very little. Additionally, the implants I had replaced- I was told by another physician I just get a lift. I told Dr. Ptak and he scoffed. He did the implants under the muscle (they were over the muscle prior) but the left book wouldn't drain and kept clogging. When I went in and gave the documentation of the comparable drainage- he stared at it and then never recommended a way to fix it. On the left boob, it continued to pinch by the nipple. He removed the drains and the nipple begain to heal pointing downward. When I returned a few months later for the checkup, Ms. Tancredi was gone- which explained my unreturned calls and the Dr. said my nipple would come back. Now, two years later, it still pinches and you can see where he cut the muscle but didn't sew it back as when I flex, my nipple goes totally inward. I called again to see if he could recut it and fix it and look at my nose again. I was told I'd have to pay $50.00 for the appointment- which I found ridiculous since I paid over $17 grand for all the procedures gone wrong. My instinct was that his ego was too big, his relationship with his manager unprofessional and his practice slacking as a result.

Fat grafting and fat transfer
Dr. Jeffrey Ptak failed to inform me preoperatively that nodules, lumps and irregularities are a consequence, not a risk, of fat grafting!
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
The healthcare system can target some people and try to destroy their lives. You could live in one state and be targeted all the way in another state, the way I was. The plastic surgeons may claim to have a private practice but I think they all work as a part of the healthcare system and they make certain people targets for mutilation.
I don't believe that the plastic surgery testimonials are even real. Anyone could just write fake testimonials to make a doctor look good. A lot of the plastic surgeons just want to mutilate patients they target.
I am sorry you are not happy with your fat grafting procedure. I also know what it's like to be horrified after a procedure. When I was about 20 a Dr. (not Dr. Ptak) did what he called "Cryotherapy" treatments for very minimal acne scarring I had (I just not have obsessed about it was so minimal) The scab took 4 months to fall off when it was only supposed to take 2 days, I did not have an infection or anything of the sort, the procedure just went awry due to the fact the Dr. used an almost empty canister of liquid nitrogen and instead of a light fine mist on my face it came out in blotched and scarred me very deeply. When the scars fell off I was horrified. When I was about 34 I had a laser treatment by Dr. Ptak and saw a nice improvement, still the scars were there so I would go to his office and his nurse would do injections of collagen directly into the scars and it would look pretty good, then about 6 mos later I would go again and did that for awhile as I did not have the money for a laser and injections were a nice alternative. At about age 42 I had another laser from Dr. Ptak...more improvement, and I continued with the injections once every 6-10 months. Finally at age 52 I saw him again for another laser...Dr. Ptak suggested fat grafting and a laser. I was happy with the grafting, there was improvement, I had hoped for a little better outcome on the laser and told him so...he did another laser for me about 8 months later for a very small fee. I had a much better outcome with the 2nd laser. So, I have had a positive 20 plus year relationship with him and his office and I just thought we should show some balance here on this site. He does good work, I can attest to that. Sometimes, I did feel like he wasn't "hearing" me but I persisted and actually had him take a few minutes with me and a flashlight in a darkened room to show him my concerns...what I see in the mirror at home. He seemed to understand and did not ridicule me. Sometimes we have to make known our concerns by whatever method it takes to get our point of view across. So, once again I am sorry you are not happy and I hope you can get the results you are looking for...but don't be like me when I was in my 20's and obsess about things no one else even notices...not an easy ask I KNOW. So best wishes...but as for me, I will continue to see my Dr. Ptak who I have come to know and trust very much.

6 malpractice lawsuits were filed against Ptak, atleast as of feb 2009. mine is not listed here.
before ptak summer 2006
and the surgery occurred in 2007, not 2008 2009, "sarahw81 (SEE attached operative report)
what is wrong with you?
Ptak's consent form proves the scam that Ptak is running!
In all our conversations he stated that there were no specific risks of fat grafting. Read the yellow page under "other risks" and you will see that Ptak states that the specific risks are listed elsewhere in the preoperative packet. He always stated that there were no specific risks and NO specific risks were listed in the preoperative packet, FURTHER VERIFYING THAT THERE WERE NO SPECIFIC RISKS. It is clear that he was going out of his way to convince me that there were no specific risks of the surgery. This is a trick that he uses to get people to go forward with the surgery.
Isn't this kind of deception a CRIME?
Over the phone Ptak told me there were no specific risks of
fat grafting. He said there would only be minor
swelling and bruising. I spoke with him AGAIN on the phone and he told
the same story again and again. I kept asking him and asking him about
the risks and he kept repeating that there were no specific risks to the
procedure, other than temporary swelling and bruising. So I paid for
surgery and flew out to Arizona believing Ptak's lies. When I arrived
Ptak had a somewhat long preoperative meeting with me. At the very end of the meeting Ptak acted as though this was an afterthought, "oh, by the way, you might get "a" lump"..."What do I do if I get a lump?" "Oh, I just inject it with cortizone and it goes
away" So he made it sound like nothing. I would later find out the sad
truth. The lumps were the main thing that I would be getting because
they are used structurally under the skin to cause puffy skin.
look here! Ptak's lawyer admits in this court transcript that lumps are a consequence, not a risk of fat grafting. This means that Ptak new that lumps were definitely going to occur. Not might occur like a risk.

Dr. Ptak didn't do what he said he was going to do, his "fat grafting", is all a big scam. Would never recommend anybody with him, more than $8, 000.00 ror NOTHING!.
