In first facelift, the Dr. walked into the pre-surgery consultation and glared at me as if he hated me. Previous consultations had been normal and pleasant. He'd been recommended & I thought it was just a mood. In that surgery, he anchored my face downward, and I looked much worse than before.
In 2nd facelift, 9 mos. later, he left right side looser, and still did not lift my mouth as he'd promised numerous times. (I've now learned, a mouth lift is usually not part of a facelift.) And my face is too hollow and narrow, giving me an old appearance.

My rating:
I was promised something that he ultimately admitted could not be done. I look worse than when I went to him. My medical records are erroneous and surgery notes so brief that they won't help another dr., and he has refused to expand them. He was shockingly hostile to me before the first surgery, and ridiculing of me on 3 occasions.
I'm so sorry about your unhappy result. We'd love to see your photos so we can visualize what you're describing. Pictures really help others embarking on a similar journey so much!
Great! I hope they give you some helpful feedback. We'd still love to see your photo in this space. Most importantly, I hope the site can help you find a surgeon who will do a fabulous revision for you.
