I am 4 - 1/2 months out from a corset platysmaplasty. I am in enormous discomfort and distress from excessive tightness laterally and submentally. My neck looks skeletonized; all the muscles and sinews bulge when I chew or swallow. The skin feels like it is glued to the underlying tissues. This has not improved since surgery and is so uncomfortable that my oral intake is suffering and I am losing weight. My PS is dismissive when I try to address this problem. Can anything be done for this?
I had a lower face lift 4 months ago. Still have numbness in my ears and face along with ringing in my ears. Also still alot of tightness in my neck . When I put my head down it feels like there is a noose around my neck. Will this go away and if so when? I am an athlete and I run 8 to 10 miles a day and this still seems to make the tightness worse, how long for this to go away also. My plastic surgeon is out of state and not helpful at all when I call his office.
Hi! I am 4.5 dos post neck and low face cosmetic surgery.My surgeon who says he is certain of 100% recovery, but can't say when.My upper right lip pulls upward and over and wrinkles strongly and my lower left lip pulls downward. I cant use a straw, I drool when I drink from a glass, I have swelling still( thats normal probably) my speech is impaired,I have difficulty chewing correctly.Do I have cause for concern? If I wait too long before any treatment, can I have more damage? Thank you.
I am 4 months post op from lower face and neck lift. When I look forward with my head raised my jawline looks perfectly smooth. If I smile, turn or lower my head I have terrible creasing and folds in my left jawline and lower cheek (see photo). My right side looks perfectly fine. My PS thinks this may be scar tissue and wants to undermine this area and under my chin again. If this is scar tissue, why does this happen? What's to prevent this from reoccuring with a revision? How long should I wait for revision surgery?
I had a lower facelift over 4 months ago. I also had fillers & Botox 1 week later. No Botox since. My face had felt a little more numb on 1 side up to a week ago. With the increased feeling, I am getting twitches in that cheek every couple seconds now. My questions: Will the twitches or spasms be temporary? If yes, how long? Will it get worse? Is it recommended that I get Botox in there to paralyze the muscle or will this halt any healing process?
I am 78 years old and have had one facelift in the past. I had a lower blepharoplasty 4 months ago and already my neck has loosened and doesn't look much different than it did before the facelift. Is this my age or bad plastic surgery? If my age, shouldn't I be told it couldn't be done rather than charging me $9000? I am very upset.
I just submitted a question and this is a follow up question. 4 months after my surgery my neck is slightly sagging. Nothing like before but not as tight as in the beginning. My surgeon's response was tha tafter the swelling goes down the skin is a little looser and that looks natural. I also have two parrallel bands above my adam's apple that I didn't have before. What's that??? It shows when I lift my head backwards
