What would you recommend? I can provide a photo,is there anyway to send a video of eye blinking since that would show problem.

Please see updated question here.

A: Ten Months After Facelift Am Unable to Blink Involuntarily in Right Eye, What Would You Recommend?

I would tell you to see an Oculoplastic surgeon if you have not done so already. This is a complicated problem that requires a detailed examination.

Why Can't I Have Neck or Facelift as a Smoker? I've had both upper and lower eye lid surgery, arm reduction and a tummy tuck. I am a smoker and am 51 years old. I've healed fine in all cases. Why can't I have a neck or facelift?

A: Facelift/smoker

Having any surgery and continuing to smoke is a bad idea. The healing process is compromised due to constricting the blood vessels and blood supply. The healing time will be much longer.

Is It Safe for a Woman with Rosacea to Have a Face and Necklift? Rosacea is under control, but I have thin skin. Thank you

A: Rosacea and Face Lift surgery

There is no contra-indication to having a facelift if you have rosacea. It is possible that the rosacea will worsen for a short time after the surgery, but this is usually not the case. This is what we have seen in our practice. Logically, since the lifting in a facelift (if done properly) is from the deeper tissues, the skin shouldn't be affected.

	“Facelift - Newport Beach, CA” If you want to look very natural and refreshed, definitely have Dr. Elam do your facelift. Not only is he an exceptional plastic surgeon, but he is an artist. I look so natural and refreshed, one would never know that I had a facelift. Dr. Elam also did the CO2 laser on my face, neck and upper chest. My skin looks wonderful! I would definitely recommend Dr. Elam. In fact, my sister was so... more
	“Results Exceeded All of my...” I elected to undergo the facelift procedure because I had a very deep scowl between my brows, sagging eyelids, wrinkles in my forehead, etc. I simply wasn't happy with my appearance so I elected to change it. I am so glad that I did! I only took off one month from work and when I returned to my office, not a single person asked me whether I had something done. They simply commeted that... more
	“Younger, Natural Result - Newport...” The jowls are gone and I look natural and refreshed. Less painful than I imagined with minimal bruising. Cost was for facelift and upper/lower eyes. more
	“Face & Neck Lift - Corona Del Mar, CA” Look younger I was concerned about looking like myself, and I am extremely happy with the end result. I had minimum swellilng, if any, and no bruising. The end result is very natural with no evidence that I just had a neck and face lift. more
	“Mid Face & Neck Lift” I decided on my doctor after researching and speaking with 2 other board certified plastic surgeons. I've always been fairly attractive but life was definitely catching up to me. My main issues were loose neck skin, jowls, and the lack of a jaw line. I did not want the wind swept look either. My doctor seemed to know exactly what I was talking about. She showed me 'after'... more
	“Lower Face, Neck and Brow - Corona...” I have always hated my lack of a defined jaw line and after 50 the wrinkled neck and jowls made it so much worse. Between that and my downturned eyes, I looked sad. Dr Kessler made me look cheery again. As for my results, I am extremely pleased. I was amazed at how quickly I healed. I had very minimal bruising. I wanted a very natural result and that is just what I got but now I have a... more
	“A True Artist with the Best Bedside...” My neck and jawline were sagging. I also had derma brasion around my mouth and Active FX on my chest at the same time as facelift. I believe it is best to have plastic surgery at a younger age than older. It's less noticeable and lasts longer. My recovery was fast and my results fantastic. more
	“Facelift and Regrets - Orange County, CA” I wanted my looks to match the way that I feel. Now I look old and like a freak. Also, the Doctor made promises that were not kept. more
	“She's PERFECT. - Laguna Niguel, CA” I am at this very moment recovering from a facelift (along with upper eyelids and CO2 laser), and I look and feel GREAT. I look 10 years younger according to everyone who see and know me, and I FEEL 10 years younger as a result! Ha! more
	“A Girls Best Friend! - Newport Beach, CA” I did it because I wanted a more youthful appearance.I work as an actor and I started noticing signs of aging that bothered me that may have started hindering my parts offered. I would suggest to anyone to look through your physicians preoperative and postoperative photographs and speak with some patients. I had the opportunity to see many of Dr. E's patients prior to my procedure and... more
	“You Won't Look "Done". Very Natural...” I wanted to look "refreshed" not tired and old. I had a "fast track face lift". I absolutely Loved, loved, loved my results. I don't look "done". The results are natural. My friends think I look 10 years younger more
	“Short-scar Facelift and Eye Lid -...” I had my short-scar facelift and eye lids done 5 weeks ago. I look terrific already. I am 62 and never had anything done except some fillers once in awhile. I had pain the first two days and really it was more discomfort than pain. Two days later the bandages are removed and you wear no chin strap or anything just still some tape on your cheeks. You can shower then. Some swelling,feels... more
	“Best Decision Ever - Newport Beach, CA” I'm a 62 year Old male and just got divorced a few years back. For the past several of years it was very difficulty to look in the mirror and see the years passing by. Physically, I was just a shell of what I was when I was forties and contemplated cosmetic surgery for many years but was very concerned about some of the plastic surgery "horror stories". Finally, last year a... more
	“Hair Loss & Pain in Face 5 Mos After...” I had an open browlift and facelift the end of May 2010. I am a 54 yr old healthy woman. Reason: Eyelid skin sagged and jawline wasn't sharp anymore. Surgeon recommended open browlift instead of having eyelid surgery and necklift to correct jawline. I looked and felt great up to 2 weeks after the surgery then all hell broke loose!! Problem 1: Hair loss... At my 2 week mark... more
	“Facelift, Fat Transfer and then...” I didn't like the sagging crepe like skin that was appearing on my face. I looked older on the outside than I felt on the inside. Having a facelift, fat transfer, dermabrasion and brow lift was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I get many compliments. I feel like the outside matches the inside now. I loved the results so much, that I now longer felt like I was too old to have a... more
	“Very Pleased with Face Lift Results” Was very pleased with results of my facelift, comment from friends and family proved that I chose the right artist / surgeon I am planing on scheduling next procedure more
	“Jowl and Neck Facelift Absolutely...” The cons are hard to imagine if you have the right doctor. Pain, a week of down-time, small scarring around the ears and that is about it. The upside is fantastic! Having a perfect jawline again and looking ten years younger and having no one notice the scarring is a big plus. I had the best doctor and wouldn't let anyone else touch my face! It looks so natural. No stretched out look. Just... more
	“Natural Facelift and C02 Lazer Treatment” My experience with my facelift was a great one. I also had a Co2 lazer treatment at the same time. I feel that I researched very well in finding the appropriate doctor for my procedure. I wanted a very experienced surgeon and I found my doctor to be not only very experienced but to have a fabulous bedside manner. He is a warm wonderful person and his staff is fabulous as well. His staff are... more
	“Right Surgeon, Right Procedure...” I am so delighted with my facelift and lower lid canthopexy. Living here in California, we see so many bad facelifts, especially those who are pulled too tight. I am over 70 and am being approached by younger men.In thinking of my experience and that of friends, I am convinced of a couple truths.1. Find out who the other surgeons go to for their facelifts.2. If a surgeon is NOT board... more
	“Swollen Gland and Numbness Around...” Pro: Dr is a facial plastic surgeon & ear nose, & throat Dr. Con: Recovery is slow, and right salivary gland is very swollen, basically making my profile look worse than it did before the surgery. Con: Dr says nothing you can do about it. Con: Want to have full face laser but don't want to move forward until this condition is resolved. My profile used to be good, now I keep my hair... more
	“Good Facelift” My facelift experience has been a good one. I had wrinkles all over my neck , jawline and forehead. The wrinkling was premature since i am just 40. So facelift was a good option and i had seen some friends get it done with great results. I also saw the same. There was no inpatient stay involved and i came home when we were done. It did hurt, not during the facelift but later, when i came home... more
