Facelift - Mexico, MX

Thank you for sharing your story. I'm sorry to hear that you didn't have the outcome you were hoping for and understand your concerns about your eyes. If I were in your shoes, I would wait until you've reached 2 months post-op and if you still see no improvement with your eyes, I would get a second opinion with another surgeon. The good news is post-surgical Ptosis (which is what I believe you have) can be corrected if it doesn't resolve on its own. If you want some free medical advice post a picture of your eyes (include pics of before & after surgery) in the Doctors forum on RealSelf. Ask the doctors on RS what can be done to resolve the problem and how long you should wait before you seek any kind of revision. I hope this is just a case of excess swelling and that your eyes become even again on their own in time. it. The scar under your chin looks very ropey and thick and uneven - this would concern me as well. I believe there are ways to fix this if you don't want to live with it permanently. How do the rest of your scars look next to your ears and elsewhere on your head & face? If possible can you please post pictures of all your scars, I would really appreciate it if you would. Thanks again for sharing your story...take care.

Would love to hear how you are recovering...I too had a face/neck lift with Dr Q. and I also had a bump under my chin, which at my 6 week check up was told it would go away, which it did. My after pics were taken at the 6 week apt when things had healed more. Hope you are liking your results better as you heal, for me everything got better as time went on. It took 6 months to fully heal and I love my results. I would say please call the Doc if you are not happy, I've talked with him several times since my surgery, he calls me right back whenever I have called in plus even called on his own just to do a phone follow up...so definitely reach out if you are the least bit unhappy!

Are these recent pictures? I had heard good thongs about your doctor. I am so sorry that he was not able to spend more time with you. You have a right to have your question answered. Please keep us posted. The best of luck with the healing process and hope it goes well.

Yes, I was wondering also if these are recent pictures.  I'm sorry your experience was not a good one.  I've also seen a lot of good reviews on this doctor out there although for me personally, going out of the country would be out of the question; first for my location in the Northeast but also the comfort of having an American PS at my backdoor who is accessible.  This is a tough surgery emotionally!  Can you post the pics of your eyes for comparison?  Perhaps everything needs to settle in as well?  Alternatively, perhaps you can get a consult from a PS locally. Good luck!

I had my surgery with Dr Quiroz, and I also have a bump under my chin, this will diminish with time, my ears also looked the way yours does and are healing nicely. My surgery is 14 days post op. From the many comments from the surgeons here on realself, your face will heal differently and at times and become a little lopsided until the healing is complete. I hope after the healing, you are pleased with your results. I will post a more detailed post on my experience as soon as I'm completely healed. So far I am happy with my results even though I have some uneven and crooked healing which is normal.

How are you doing? Are things beginning to settle in for you?
