My Surgery wit Dr Bryan Rolfes has been the most doomed and ruinous decision that I have ever taken for which I regret with deep shame.

I approached Dr Rolfes for my surgery- forehead brow-bossing and jaw surgery. They’ve been categorically mentioned in several emails prior to the surgery. And, honestly, these back-and-forth over emails, online consultation and my travel happened during the COVID times- and it took me to move rocks to visit the US from Indi –securing a VISA, exorbitant airfares and profound travel restrictions.

My first visit to the clinic at Rolfes’ clinic at Wayzata, MN whilst it appeared to me no less than a corporate office; precisely a BPO (business processing Office) – the floor meant to Rolfes’ room wherein there were women over hands’-free microphone sitting in row as it seems from the next door –catching ‘prey’/customers/patients. To be honest, and I am not at all exaggerating, I felt no less than Fordist mass production –‘producing’ no less of post-surgery patients happy/unhappy with results. And most strikingly, no one even gets a night to stay in the clinic, the day of the surgery. She/he has to pay an exorbitant amount if seeking nursing on the day of the surgery; not even a minute of ‘care’ for the first 24 hours post-surgery. Seems so, asking to piss-off as the surgery is over –meaning to convey: ‘service is provided ….. it is an (corporate) office with well-established coffee machine, reception desk, multiple floors, well-dressed women walking around. But, if you ask for a coffee in the frozen/white/ snowing winter morning traveling so far from a tropical country, not used to the weather, you’re denied of.

So, Welcome to America !

The day of my consultation, after waiting a while in the reception area I was called with those simulated hugs/smirks/smiles by the personal assistant of the doctor and asked to entre Rolfes’ chamber. With brief chit-chat with the assistant with reviews been taken –I mentioned with loads of (PLEASE’s !) requests that “I WANT AN AGGRESSIVE BONE SURGERY). I also did mention, that I am not too pleased with the bone surgeries (facial- FFS) as put in the website of ‘him’, and if I may request for an aggressive one. I was so, so categorical with all my memory-in-place and sane mind, that I recall, how intensely and repeatedly I have asked the personal assistant and the doctor over prior online meetings, over emails and in-person in the consultation about being ‘aggressive over the bone surgery’.

Rolfes did arrive after quite some time. A ‘celebrity appearance’ as if consecrating to his presence –which was just 7-10 mins consultation –across the table sat there and chatting over as I felt, it is not a medical consultation but a business meeting. He hardly allowed me to speak; never touched my face to see/diagnose for 1 second either, stopped/interrupted me from what I want to speak, what I desire for in the surgery was certainly NOT his priority, and kept blathering as what he feels is “RIGHT”. And, even in that, I managed to say that I flew so far from India, with lots of trouble, an exorbitant airfare, and I truly do want a result of my desire.

On the day of the surgery, I did again said few times, that “ Doctor! I truly want an aggressive bone work”. His mannerism is such so that he’s busy all the time –seems like no time to ‘listen’ patiently about the queries of the patient. He hardly paid any heed to what I said.

The surgery went well. YES- a Fordist mass production as we patients were, and hardly that I have seen or heard; have had several surgeries, that the FIRST NIGHT of the surgery, that patient is asked to walk out the clinic, alternatively pay a huge amount (at least for someone from a Third World), and have a night service nurse who practically has nothing to do, when the patient is lying unconscious majorly. Therefore, it is all about MONEY everywhere in his clinic.

To my utter surprise gravest humiliation, Bryan Rolfes lied to me grossly -- during the stich removal day that he has done a very successful bone work – eyebrow bossing and jaw angle surgery. And, I as STUPID person as ever, been waiting all these months (since, early March 2022), that my face would settle, the bruising would completely go away, and I heal in a years’ time as promised by the doctor, and I would have a beautifully-shaped jaw and no bony brow-area.

None happened! They are all as how it is. I have been SO, SO SILLY, sitting like the STUPID-est person ever that my face would turn beautiful, but I honestly look so ugly. To start with: 1. Bryan Rolfes has done something to my skin that I look 10 years older.

1. He hasn’t touched even .1% to the reason I have gone to him- Brow-bone shaving + jaw-angle contouring, despite of, I have been time-and-again stressing on the fact ‘aggressive bone work’ for me.

2. He has made a lump-shaped structure on the middle of my forehead, and it is bulged so badly that it seems like, I have a visible and so very unusual protuberance on the middle of my forehead –which looks out-rightly odd.

3. Please do not take me wrong by no means, but my Indian face has turned into mongoloid Chinese Face post Bryan Rolfes’ infamous surgical craft.

4. And finally, I already have had damaged nervesin the lower jaw from the previous surgery. Bryan Rolfes has aggravated the damage and it is a complete facial palsy now with saliva dripping uncontrolled.

My surgery-stint from communication over emails, visit to the USA-Minnesota clinic and post-surgery communications as “STRATEGIC RACISM”. I am more stunt to the fact that how could he at all lie on the face so confidently. And, We all do pay hard-earned money, been having traveling so far from India with huge flight fares, the lodging expenses for 2 weeks, and others. Adding to all my surgical experiences with regard to my transition; been having done surgeries before elsewhere in other countries –this has been my WORSEST NIGHTMARE SURGERY with the DOCTOR-BEING-THE-LIAR who will ruin your face and would never do what you wish to be changed on your face.

In addition: I am stunt to see the positive testimonials for this person. I’m truly not generalizing all, but it forces me to think, that few testimonials are based on acquisition. Given, I chose this surgeon based on reading his testimonials, but he’s by no means anywhere closer to (to my 200% honesty) , is closer to what I made my mind for the surgery with Bryan Rolfes.

Thank You !
