I would do this all over again even knowing the outcome. I am still very happy with my results. See the pics below. I had a rough time but my ps really came through with the revision at 7 weeks post op.

Hi KLS, Thank you for the 3-yr update - I think that is so valuable!! You definitely went through an ordeal, but you came through it in fabulous fashion and look incredible!! Congrats on your soon to be grand baby :)
Warmest regards,

You look great and am curious as to what was revised and how? Were all the original incisions reopened and did he extend neck lift scar into hairline?

I am glad you think it was finally worth it because from the photo, it certainly was! You look wonderful and youthful.

Had the revision surgery two weeks ago, so far looks pretty good, just wasn't planning on being cut again with stiches into the back of my head, when at 3 months original post op should be almost healed. This has been a difficult experience and no where near what I expected based on all the positive reviews I had read here. Still waiting a few more months for the final result. I do have to say that I do look much better than my orignal pictures. I would post them but I am only seeing how to do a utube Video and not pictures. Any suggestions? My doctor and staff have been very supportive and wonderful through this whole experience and I understand there are exceptions to everything so I will give my ps a good review. After looking at the bruising of some of the other posted pictures I really had no bruising due to my ps using the cold plasma knife for surgery. I was able to return to wor in two weeks post op with this procedure.

Going in for a revision next Thursday. This will be done under local an in the office not the surgery center. I am told it will just be a little pull up on the skin, but there will be cutting behind the ear and a little under the chin. I am apprehensive about having to go through any of this even a little bit, but I spent all this money and I want it to look right. I am hoping for the best. I will update after the surgery.

Well, I just looked at your before and after pics, and I think you look amazing. I appreciate your honesty, It helps me so much with knowing what questions to ask pre op. Thank you for being so transparent about your troubles. You are beautiful.
