I had a facelift and am now left with visible scaring and after a year I don't feel like the result was 100% what I wanted. My jawline is not how I expected it to be and that was the reason for my surgery.

I would like to further clairfy my experience here. When I checked no after care/follow up I was referring to the many months after my surgery not hours. The after care at the office after my surgery was exemplary. I had round the clock exceptional nursing care. When I checked the after care box I meant THE OFFICE did not contact me after all the intitial surgery procedures were taken care of. I expected that someone would have called me for a follow up after a couple of months considering that plastic surgery takes many months to heal - changing all the time. In my case I had these terrible ropey painful itchy scars. No one ever called to see how I was doing. It's possible my expectations in that regard were too high. My surgery now was over a year ago.
Great review?

I picked up a friend from his office. I wish I had know more doctors beforehand. I have waited a year before posting a review.

I'm sorry you're unhappy with your results, pg. :( Do you know what kind of facelift you had?

I had what's called a "short scar" (I believe) facelift. After one year i have ropey, tight, itchy, angry looking scars behind my ears. If i wear my hair back you can see them. Underneath my earlobes I have very visible ropey thick scars which are a dead give away for a facelift. The whole idea was subtlety, at least for me. The other thing is on my first visit my "major, number 1" complaint was jowls. I wanted rid of the jowls more than anything. They are still there! Better but still there! :-( And, regarding the scars, in my humble opinion, if a plastic surgeon can't get you out with no scaring --- well what does that say? One thing I should say is he did a good neck. I am happy with the work he did there. But once again, there is a bad scar under my chin!
