Has first face lift with neck lift almost a year ago. Chin scar did not heal correctly, so 3 weeks ago, I had a revision of the chin scar. A week after surgery, the healing is worse than the first surgery. Can anyone tell me what is going on? Take a look at the pic. At each end of the scar there is like a pucker or a pocket eat end of the scar. Opinions on how to correct this? THANKS for any opinions.
One week after surgery is too early to evaluate the appearance of a scar. This will improve with time. If the prominence visible at the ends of the scar persists, they may be a candidate some conservative liposuction.
I had surgery Thursday and today I noticed the bruising that was on my chest had leeched all the way to the bottom of both of my breasts and now this evening I am seeing bruising on the inside of my lower lip and on my chin. Is this acceptable?
It usually takes several days for bruising after a facelift to reach it's maximum level and the degree of bruising varies considerably from one person to another. One person may have very little bruising after just a few days while another person may still have significant bruises after two weeks or even longer. The bruising you are describing on your chest is very normal, since bruises progress downward with gravity.
I've heard about a "one hour face lift" but I don't know how effective it is or what it involves...is it surgery? What sort of facelift is this and is it as good as a "traditional" facelift?
In general terms, at the very least, a face lift involves making incisions in front of the ears, elevating the skin from the underlying fat (referred to as undermining), and then closing the incisions. If very limited undermining were done and the incisions were closed quickly without concern for an aesthetic result, a face lift could probably be done in an hour. The trade-off is that the results would probably last a very short time because of the limited undermining, and the scars in front of the ears might not be acceptable. It is definitely not as good as a face lift which is carefully done and takes more time.
