Loose Skin, Sagging jowls!
newnew760September 16, 2014
My images speak for themselves! Dr.Yco. Left me with skin and sagging jowls. Not to mention my double chin he adamantly insisted he didn't charge for. After I spent over $5,500 in a no result fake mini-lift and then suggest I need a neck lift and mid face lift upon hearing this from Dr.Yco I immediately knew a was duked! This was his way of making $$$.

I dont think this is a question about weight its about a face lift with no results! And that's what this review is about. So stop blaming the reviewer on weight. That obviously is NOT the issue.
September 17, 2014
It's part of it. I was referring to the weight with respect to the known fact that the skin loses elasticity when a person loses weight. It would lead to better results if she loses weight before the revision instead if after....if she plans on going through with it.

Did the doctor tell her that before he took her money and performed a useless procedure?

You can very clearly see there is excess skin, that should have been tighter after your mini lift. I feel your anger,. I would be too. But wait a year and you may possibly find another surgeon who can salvage what Dr.Yco didn't complete and not charge you as much as he did.

Thank you for being so brave and posting pictures for the public and exposing the many "Charlatans" with medical degrees.

I would contact the medical board. Provide them with before and after pictures. They will have to investigate this and the doctor is required by law to respond. I would ask for a refund. I am so sorry you went thru this.

I'm sorry things didn't go well for you, I understand exactly what you are going through, not only the time, pain and money but also your hopes goes away after months of waiting to see the results, I've done a laser lift and waited a year hoping a miracle will happen but my face just got worse than when I went to do that procedure.
Luckily I have been able to get some skin tightening and lifting after 6 treatments of Viora Reaction, I've tried other RF before viora with less visible results but I'm sure all of it together helped me after such big disappointment of that laser lift. Same thing I noticed in your face happened to me, you are beautiful so with the right treatment and qualified professional I hope you will find the way to correct it, wishing you luck.

Dr. Yco's Lucrative "no result" minilift!
newnew760September 13, 2014
When I questioned Dr. Yco on my sagging neck and jowls after my mini lift he suggested a neck lift and fat transfer! every time I tap on my jowls they are loose and move up and down with excess skin, I am so upset that I put my trust in the surgeon he knew I wanted this procedure for so long he sang a good song in my ear on how I would look so much better and pulled my skin back and showed me the difference, he tricks unsuspecting clients by pulling their skin back and showing them in the mirror how much better they would look then after he takes a chunk of your savings and leads you from one expensive "no results" surgery to the next suggested lucrative surgery. I emailed him demanding a re-due and all he can say is he has evaluated me after my surgery in his so call sequence of follow ups. BEWARE! he only responded after I posted my photos on this website! all he cares about is making $$$ and obviously not his reputation otherwise he would have offered me a Re-due as I requested! I was still even giving him the benefit of doubt that he can fix this "no result" fake mini lift, but he didn't consider fixing this fake mini lift. I put my trust in his staff and I was duked!

Dr. Yco's response was he has NOT properly evaluated me in the sequence of follow-ups visits that he requires before he can consider even touching me again! which would be over a year,this was his response after I requested a RE-DUE on the mini lift!

Hi there. I am from Massachusetts....and after reading your laments I feel sorry that you have no results. I am sure that is disturbing. Perhaps the doctor can make another attempt after the proper amount of time. I am a nurse and I can see from your pictures that you are overweight, maybe obese. Try hard to lose weight.....this will make all the difference in the world in your face and neck. You are young and you will have good enough skin that it will shrink. You have beautiful lips...Don't be insulted by me...I do not mean to be insulting. You will be so much better off to put your money into proper food for weight loss than facial surgery at your age. Try Dr. Dukan's diet...you will lose at least 10 the first week....and continue losing all the time. I think you are over the edge about the racial profiling......and the tea bags.....America needs to stop that nonsense. Racial profiling in the doctor's waiting room........stop! it makes you sound like an uneducated silly woman. My sincere best to you. Look up Dr. Dukan. Nursecupcake.
September 16, 2014
Nursecupcake, for you to join Realself just to make a ridiculous offensive comments is silly and suspicious. #1. I am NOT overweight and if you have properly read my review it clearly states that.And my personal experience at Dr.Yco office is truthful, I and my children were treated like less than and the office coordinator did in fact sweep the tea bags, I know for a fact it if I were Anglo Saxon this what have not happened. You sound really disturbed about that comment and come across suspicious since you joined Realself only to post this remark about my weight and the tea bags, And to make insulting comments isn't what this sight is for. Sorry to burst your bubble but im not overweight and the excess skin you see under my chin and face is the reason I wanteda mini-facelift. The sorry facts are my personal experiences with Dr.Yco and his unprofessional staff! Im sorry nursecupcake, you wasting your time coming on this sight with insults.

If the doctor felt her weight would interfere with getting the desired result, he should have told her so before the surgery. He did not. He pulled her skin tight and promised a result he did not deliver. We are here to discuss the doctor's lack of skill and ethics, not to make demeaning, gratuitous remarks to the patient.
November 8, 2014
I am very sorry what happened to you. Your did your research, you knew the doctor personally, trusted him, his credentials are the right ones and still, no results. It is infuriating.
I feel for you.

The "mini lift" sell, is a distraction from the REAL type of surgeries . They lure u in/ and when the results r not up to the TRUE lifts , then they suggest a jowl & neck lift ,usual with another procedure added!! Please ladies. When u hear MINI LIFT.... Run!!!! No TRUE/REAL/HONEST PLASTIC SURGEON WILL NEVER SAY " mini lift"!!!! He will use the real terms. Face lift / jowl lift/ neck lift...... My ent surgeon specifies areas that need lifting . He would say lower face lift , which is pulling the muscle.
June 11, 2015
It looks as if he took only skin. Which is no good at all without addressing the muscle. You must be so angry! But...and it's something at least, you haven't been disfigured and you can seek a new surgeon. I'd agree that your money was pretty much wasted though. [RS bleep]
