Dr. Marcus L Peterson, MD

Botch surgery

Never disappointed!

I had a nose job, liposuction to remove my double chin and fat transfer to my lips. Dr. Peterson is Amazing! I love how great my face looks, I no longer have to worry about the angle of my face in pictures and trying to minimize my chin. I am more than satisfied with my results and will send my friends and family to him.

I can only agree with some of the reviews. He is rushed, does not listen very well and the results are not what you would expect. I had botox done on my forehead and one of my eyebrows was obvious lower then the other one afterwards. I had done this procedure many times before with other plastic surgeons and the results were never that bad. Not to recommend.

In my opinion and personal experience if you don't die you will be permantly injured by him. Don't go to him. He is a butcher

I lived in Las Vegas and consulted with Mr. Peterson due to the advertising on his website, stating that the cost of procedure was substantially less than others surgeons due to being in Utah and having a procedure location that did not cost as much as others surgeons who would have to do the procedures at a hospital. I suppose I messed up from the beginning by buying into a bargain deal for surgery. When I met with him, I had already had a consultation with another surgeon prior. I explained to Mr. Peterson what the other surgeon had recommended. Mr. Peterson looked at me and made a recommendation of his own, it was a bit more work than what my first surgeon had proposed, but Mr. Peterson's price was less for more work. I thought, wow I'm gonna look brand new, I didn't look that bad to start. I'm a male, I told him the first surgeon had recommended a brow lift and a nose job, I wanted liposuction for the midsection as well. I told him I was very concerned about the brow lift,… I didn't want a surprised look, especially being a man, high brows would obviously look unnatural and funny. I clarified that I didn't want to raise the center of my brows either, only the outside to to give me a particular look. He assured me prior to surgery that I would look great, so there I went several hours under his care. I woke up excited to see how I looked. The next day my face was very swelled, but I could see the damage before the swelling went down. I met with him the very next day, he assured me that it was just the swelling. My gut feeling told me differently, but I had no choice at this point. So, I traveled back to Las Vegas with my brand new face, cheek implants, nose job and a brow lift. The cheek implants were not even when placed into my face, my left eye is sunk in and is clearly out of proportion with the right. I recently had a dental exam, my exray's disclosed screws were placed in my face to hold the implants in. Literally screws to hold cheek implants in. Now, my brow was the icing on the cake. After the swelling went down it was more than evident that my brows were raised extremely high, higher than a women's natural brow and way above my natural bone structure. When I brought this to Mr. Petersons attention I met him for follow up in Las Vegas. He looked at me as if everything was perfectly okay, he held his composure and told me the brows would lower naturally over time. This was completely unacceptable, I pleaded with him to correct this. After some negotiation, he offered to lower my brow, it was a difficult process as I researched, in some cases irreversible. So, I drove to Utah on my time, my gas and frustration several times for a procedure that I had to endure. I was awake for these procedures, he numbed my skull, slit my skull open, shoved the device all the way back under my scalp and worked manually to push my brow down. This procedure turned into a lifelong nightmare. I'm a realist, I know what looks right and what doesn't. My brows still to this day look so unnatural, my cheek implants still have screws, and a sunk in left eye. I'm the one who did this, I take personal responsibility for taking the chance on Mr. Peterson. My personal life has been effected, my professional life and ability to make money has been affected. The real bummer is when he had the nerve to charge me the couple hundred dollars at a time for those awake follow ups, while I sat and watched my high brow pushed down. I think Mr. Peterson is a good guy, but his art work as a plastic surgeon is third world country quality. I researched surgeons after the fact, I should have done before hand a more diligent job. Some surgeons have a procedural mentality, while others are very artful and credible when it comes to enhancements. No question, Mr. Peterson can do the basic stuff, but I would warn you if you're looking for a facial transformation.

One of my 14 yr. old saline implants ruptured so I went to my original PS in Colorado and found his fees had doubled. I have family in St. George so I searched there and found Dr. Peterson. It was worth the 8 hr drive. My experience with him was much better than my original doc. Not only was he a lot less expensive but also: He has a warm and helpful staff. He did a great job answering my questions and explaining the process. He suggested Silicone implants and they look more natural and better than ever. He placed the implants so I now have a beautiful cleavage that I didn't have before. His staff got me a warranty replacement so the charge was even less (original doc never told me they were under warranty and would have pocketed my refund and about $4000 more) Dr. Peterson was professional, kind and has a manner that immediately put me at ease. I highly recommend him.

I was sooooooooo disappointed with Dr Peterson. He was rushed and did not listen to me. He kept trying to talk me into additional surgeries that I really did not want, or could pay for. I found him thoroughly unprofessional and borderline rude. Needless to say, I will not see him again.

I had cheek implants done by Dr. Peterson 14 months ago, if anyone is contemplating cheek implants, think again . My old smile is gone and I look terrible now when I smile, worse than that, my lip is numb as if I just came from the dentist and it's difficult to pronounce words, and there's nothing that can be done about it, they say, if I have the cheeks removed. I may have loose hanging skin also, I may still have the numbness . I wish somebody would've warned me about this now it's too late

I want to express my EXCITEMENT and total satisfaction with my "mommy makeover" results! Not only are you an extremely talented, skilled surgeon but your personal care and concern for your patient is acceptional. It is refreshing to have a surgeon of your caliber remain so "down-to-earth" and easy to discuss all aspects of surgery with. Prior to my surgery I had spent countless hours on the internet looking through photo galleries and reading patient reviews for physicians all over Utah and elsewhere. I couldn't be happier with my choice! Thank you for a beautiful belly button (that was one of my biggest concerns when looking at galleries)and for giving me my body back. You are the best!
