Dr. Barry Eppley review: Poor Plastic Surgeon 53

nO to me lucilles pictures prove that shes out of her mind. what she needs to do is stay at a mental health facility before she mutilates her self any more!she clearly suffers some kind of mental health problems.

Im suprised that there is no body that sees thru her but me?

Evie, you're the one who is out of your mind for thinking you could judge her. You wouldn't have lasted a minute if you suffered from what she did, and she battled through 9 years of tough days and nights in constant torture.

Here is a recent piece done by Fox News 11 in LA:

http://www.myfoxla.com/dpp/news/investigative/truth-behind-plastic-surgery-20110223

Lucille's true story will not be squelched by people who seek to misrepresent her pain and suffering as psychosis. It was nothing of the sort. I knew her and saw what she went through. You obviously didn't, and your comment just proves how ignorant you really are of the facts of her case.

If anybody's interested, I did a little digging, and here's the problem: She'd done this before. See link: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/09/24/health/main523129.shtml. In any case, apparently she recently died - I don't know what from. I'm sorry for anyone in pain, but it does kinda make you wonder about what she said about Dr. E.

this is stupid. You people forget the plastic surgery is a choice. No one told this lucille woman to get a facelift. She chose to, knowing all the risks of plastic surgery. despite this one bad case dr eppley does alot of good work, every doctor makes a mistake sometime, no one is perfect. No plastic surgeon has perfect cases every time. and crying like a little a baby and trying to smear this guys name around isnt gonna solve anything.

i am one of Dr appele's victims too and do not recommend anybody going to him.
Before going to him i knew about this lady's story but i ve said to myself it's just one unhappy patient but after being operated on by Dr appeley i am not the same anymore and in consultstion he seems like the best doctor in the world .
he's in for the money and i don t think he cares too much about the patient.
People don t write negative things about other Doctors like they are about Dr appley so think abouy it.
search the internet and see what i am talking about.
meanwhile i am looking for another doctor to fix what Dr appley couldn t or did not do, i don t wanna be specific about what procedure i ve done with him but he complety made things worse for me.
this is a honest message, i do not know Dr appley so there s no reason for me to talk negative about him i am just warning everybody to be carefull with him just like other patient who had bad experience with( lot of them)

You guys are idiots. She is the ONLY patient complaining about him! Her condition was due to a panic disorder that she developed after MULTIPLE plastic surgeries, not from having one freaking facelift. Also, do you really think a doctor would purposely do this to someone and risk losing their license and losing money? I mean, really? People are so blind and quick to judge it's sad... look at both sides of the story and educate yourself before commenting on things.

The doctor had every right to sue this woman. She signed a consent form agreeing that there could be any number of risks, including permanent or fatal damage, and that the surgeon and hospital are NOT to be held liable! Because she broke the contract, he lost business - he had every right to sue her. Even if what you guys are saying is true and he didn't explain the risks and procedures before she signed the forms, it's her own fault. She should have asked, or better yet, read the fine print. It takes months for a plastic surgery to go through BECAUSE of all of the paperwork required beforehand. Plenty of time to do your own research and decide whether or not the risks are worth it. She took that risk. It's unfortunate that she developed such a strong panic disorder afterwards, but again, that is NOT the surgeon's fault.

This is the most horrible plastic surgeon I've ever heard in my entire life. I have seen how he does his facelift on youtube, opening up the whole neck.., , , leaving the patient a huge scar, , Is that how to do a facelift to a patient.? while watching that video, I just felt that he was just on his anatomy class lab doing his own experiment to a cadaver. He should be in jail for the rest of his life~~~!

I had a surgery done by Eppley several years ago. It was supposed to be the last of my 24 surgeries. My doctor retired and recommended me to him. Eppley messed up everything that had been fixed in the previous surgeries. I had to have a surgery to remove an implant that got infected, a surgery to remove wisdom teeth that he claimed he removed, he paralyzed my face, and lots more. I am just now getting ready to have the surgery to fix his errors. It took me over 6 years to feel confident enough to go through another surgery. Anyways, we knew something was wrong right away, but he blew it off and told me to take more medication, not knowing, I did so. When I went for my follow up, I was informed that he had left the practice. And by the time I got everything fixed, I was told I had waited to long to file against him. I guess you only have two years. What I don't understand is, if you're still having complications 6 years later, why can't you file a lawsuit? Anyways, I hope this gets out. No one deserves to go through this.

Wow evie142546 that's such a black-hearted comment

I find these comments interesting about Dr. Eppley. I had multiple breast surgeries with another surgeon and went to him to fix another surgeons work. So I can be very hard on a surgeon's cosmetic result I think he did an excellent job on downsizing overly large breast implants and revising the pocket and tightening my breast fold. I have seen people bring up the "Eppley v Iacovelli". This appears to be a very sad case as the woman committed suicide but I get the feeling this lady had issues not neccesarily caused by Dr. Eppley. His only mistake I think was not really evaluating if this lady had a mental problem but that is very hard for plastic surgeons to identify if someone has underlying issues that make them not a good candidate. I am thinking that this woman spent so much time tearing him down why didn't she seek help from another surgeon to possibly fix what she thought was wrong. Two things, she didn't have the money or no one would take her revision because they did not see her complaint as valid or thought she was unstable. I am sure if you google any surgeon out there, you can find some kind of negative review you cant make everyone happy. I can tell you that he works inside the IU Hospital in Carmel Indiana. If this surgeon had a bad reputation the IU Hospital would not let him take up shop inside their facility.

Misconstrued information about Dr Barry Eppley.
None of these people personally knew lucille lacovelli or if she was even struggling with mental illness prior to cosmetic surgery. In which case, was a disaster waiting to happen. This woman was clearly not well she needed help.
Blaming Dr Eppley for her fate is absolutely absurd. He did NOT disfigure her. Everyone should know the limits of cosmetic surgery that it will not fix the inside. if anyone let her down it was mental health services.
